*Standing at the edge of the window of the abandoned house, she peered out the broken glass to see if she had been followed. Once she was confident that she hadn't been, she took a large inhale and ran as fast as she could towards the door in the back of the building. Upon arriving towards the door, she noticed the mini light above it shining red. Taking one more glance back, she spoke towards the door.
"Marmalade"
*The light above the door turned a light green, and the door made a soft clicking sound as it quickly opened. She grabbed the door by the handle on the inside,stepped in and pulled thje door closed behind her. The metal door shut with another soft clicking and she found herself in a small closet size room. The room was dark, so dark that she couldn't even see her hand in front of her face. Only the feel of the floor vibrating and the faint sound of humming, made her feel that she was going to be alright and it wasn't long before the floor stopped moving and the back wall began to slide open. A bright light flooded the room as the wall opened , causing her to squint her eyes, till they adjusted to it. As her eyes adjusted, the huge cavern in front of her came into focus. She entered into the light and the wall slid closed behind her. She was safe. She slid down the wall, pulled her hat off and ran her hand through her hair as tears continued to roll down her face.
After a short while, Charity regained her composer and stood back up. She moved toward the rail that over looked a huge sunken floor watching as the people below went about business as they normally did. There were many people, machines, magic , and creatures all intertwinning in a underground Utopia. But she knew the hard truth, they all did. There was no such thing, not anymore. Times were hard and it was apparent, that they hadn't heard the latest news yet.
Reluctantly, she walked towards the double doors. In front of the doors was a small desk and a man sitting behind it.
"Rough day out there?"
She looked over at him, nodded and then looked at the scanner on the side of the door. She placed her hand on the scanner and waited for admittance. As expected the doors opened automatically. Two lights encircled her as she stepped into the room. She had almost forgot about them. They were revealers. A spell cast to make sure that you were who you claimed to be. It was a new spelled that was created ever since Polyjuice began a open market pill. Muggles and Wizards alike abused the magic. Magic wasn't contained into the world of its own, but had been leaked into the muggle world as well.
After, the lights disappated, the figures in long robes disappeared into the shadows.
*A middle age man came out from the shadows*
"What news have you for us?"
*Charity put her hand in her pocket and pulled out a handful of chains and dropped them onto his desk. He walked over and seperated the chains to reveal that there was 5 of them.*
"What happened?"
"What happened? The intell you gave me was false. We got there and the place was filled with guards and they had dementors too. I barely got out of there alive....I was the lucky one, my team didn't make it."
*He looked at her and frowned.*
"I am sorry Charity, I didn't find out the new information till you left, by then it was too late, you were out of radio range. I couldn't send an owl, because then they would surely know someone was there."
*Her bottom lip quivering and tears welling up her eyes , she turned to walk away.*
"He wants to see you"
*Charity continued walking as she heard his comment, she sarcastically responded.*
"I imagine he does."
*Once out of the room, she walked towrds the rail in the center of the room and began to descend the stairs. The cavern was an old underground substation. It was never completed, therefore never attached to the other subways, it was completely concealed and alone. At the bottom she headed down the long hallway on the left.The sounds of Bernstien could be soflty heard as she made her way past five doors. At the sixth door, she turned and entered the room.
"I see you had a bit of trouble, today?"
*Charity glared*
"Thats an understatment. We got there and all was good, but then there were Deatheater guards and dementors everywhere. If someone didn't send an animagi to distract them I would never have gotten out of there."
*The man behind the desk, looked at her with concern*
"Did you get it?"
*She lightly threw it at him and it landed on the desk..*
"I hope whatever this is for, its worth it. I lost my whole team. I know a combination of mage and muggle is the only way to win, but what does this thing have to do with liberating us. The opposition has gain control of about everything. The only thing we have is what we manage to hide from them. One of these days the security is going to weeken, and they will find us."
*The man looked at the amulet, through an eye glass.*
"I have no doubt about it."
*She looked at him infuriated. The man looked at her and smiled.*
"It is the real one, well done."
-----
What happened, how could it go so wrong?*Charity asked herself as she began to reinact the inccident in her head. Her thoughts then shifted to the moment she saw them die.* They were behind a mall, they were almost out of there, when a deatheater spotted them. Charity shot a magic pellet from her motified wand gun. The deatheater went down, but in its place several more showed up. It was aweful, lights flying everywhere,screams could be heard......
*Charity came out of it when the room door opened up.*
