Fred and George briefly watched as Charlie headed off after Emily. He had bounded off a few moments after she had and soon the twins took off with Abagail, They weren't exactly running fast, but they weren't exactly walking either. "How big could this no Apparation perimeter be?" Fred asked, holding back a branch for Abagail and George to move past and he followed them. A howl filled their ears not long after, and George froze.
"Werewolves? That means Greyback. That means a lot of trouble." George said. "Maybe we should go find them."
Fred shook his head. "No, we need to get Abagail to safety. We can go to the safe house once we apparate. And I am sure that's where they will end up too. Charlie's strong, George, and I am sure Emily is too."
George grumbled.as he moved a branch this time and allowed Abagail to move in front of him, but soon He saw a red stream and he saw Fred move.his wand.
"Run!" He exclaimed. George nodded and he began shooting his own spells back too.
"Abagail, how much further til the end?" George asked, falling into a run beside her as Fred flanked her other side.
"We have two more on our tail. I think once Greyback turned they changed directions." Fred said.
George thought a moment. "But wasn't Scabior in his group too? Another werewolf." He asked and Fred cursed aloud, shooting back another spell.
"They'll be okay." He forced himself to say, and after five.more minutes of running and shooting spells, Fred felt a weight.lifted off of him he hadn't noticed. That had to be the end.of the perimeter. He quickly grabbed hold of Abagail and George and disapparated. The landing was far from graceful, but soon George stood and helped Abagail up, and turned to the small shack. There was a port key inside to take them to the burrow, but it would be in the morning when it reactivated.
Fred looked about and sighed. The others weren't there yet, and he looked to Abagail and George. "Let's head inside." He said, opening the shack door, and he saw a cot and a couple.of couches set up, and then there was a bedroom on the far side and a bathroom was right next to it.
George looked to Abagail, and he looked.to Fred. "I am going to wait outside for Charlie and Emily. Abagail, why not get cleaned up, we won't be able to get to the Burrow until tomorrow." He suggested, and Fred nodded.
"I'll holler at you when they get here." He assured her, opening up a linen closet and handing her a towel before he waited.outside with George.
"I hope they're okay." George said, and Fred spoke.
"They will be." Fred said.

Emily had heard Charlie's voice cast a spell as she ran, and though it almost comforted her to know she wasn't alone, she had to wonder why he dared to follow. She made it to the clearing, but her legs were getting weaker, and Charlie's voice got her attention and she wordlessly cast a spell that blew the werewolf back. She stopped a moment to catch her breath, but soon something was hanging over Charlie, and she shook her head. Her body reacted, and as she sprinted, her.body warped into the large black wolf.form and she tackled the werewolf and had come up behind Charlie and she snarled and growled, but it threw her back. Two werewolves and two of them.
She had landed.on her side, and she struggled to stand on her four legs, but she continued to snarl and growl, fiercely. But she could barely stand, so she warped back, and held her wand out. "Forgive me." She whispered and soon she shot a red jet out at the creature before her, and it shrieked in pain before she released her hold on the spell and watched as the werewolf ran off.
She finally got back to Charlie as another spirit appeared, it was her father again. They were coming again, and soon Emily did something She would have never done, she poke to the spirit in front of another person. "Where?"
"A safe house out in the fields of St. Ottery Catchpole." he spoke, and soon Emily saw Greyback running at them and she closed her eyes after grabbing hold of Charlie's hand and disapparated the two of them. Once they appeared in front of a small shack, Emily saw the twins, but she barely could stand and fell to the ground.
"Abagail!" Fred shouted.in the shack as he and George ran over to them. Emily just stayed on the ground, but rolled and laid on her back, and closed her eyes. Her side hurt, bad, she probably had some broken ribs which would explain her trouble breathing. She jut laid on the ground. "What happened to you two?" George asked this time.
"Snatchers." Emily spoke, breathlessly, "Werewolf snatchers."
After a moment, Emily stood, obviously struggling, but she got to her feet and looked around, forcing her body to move as she got a few meters away and began casting protective enchantments.
"Charlie, what happened?" Fred asked, and he saw how Emily barely wrote them off now. "She isn't down our throats or anything."
Emily wouldn't admit it, not yet anyway, that once she found the twins and heard them.yell for Abagail, she felt it. A small bit of her trust had been earned. And how Charlie had followed after her, and warned her, protected her even... they had earned a small bit of her trust. But It was enough for now.
