There's no escape...
Character: Padma
Summary: He's found her...
It had been quiet for a while, despite Padma's worsening nightmares. She thought she'd managed to keep Faelan from noticing the worst of it, but she was pretty sure he knew how hard it was for her to even leave the bookshop and walk around Hogsmeade. She hadn't been to London - or anywhere else - since Mcnair had kidnapped her.
Knowing that Faelan would be home soon, Padma glanced out the shop window to the quiet street of Hogsmeade. As tempted as she was to wait for him there, or Floo to the house, Padma knew she needed to get over her fear of being outside of the bookshop. So, leaving the shop in Brenna's capable hands, Padma walked out the door and headed toward Haven's Rest. She had just got to the edge of Hogsmeade when she felt a prickling on the back of her neck. Trusting insight, she ducked as she whirled around and felt the painful slice of a knife cut across the side of her neck.
Mcnair's wide, furious eyes met hers, and Padma cried out. As he lunged at her again, Padma apparated away, and appeared in her bedroom.
Heart hammering and hands shaking as she tried to heal her wound, Padma came to the decision that had been a long time coming. She couldn't handle this. Faelan couldn't handle this.
She needed help. And she needed to get away.
