Breathing had become rather difficult as the boy ran full out as fast as he could, never minding the branches that were tearing at his clothing or trying to catch at his hair. A stitch had developed and burned in his side, but Joschka did not want to stop or slow down until he was clear of the forest. Turning his head slightly he didn't see the tree root that was stuck up slightly which resulted in his foot catching. Letting out a cry of first surprise that turned into a sound of pain as he fell to the forest floor, his breath leaving his lungs in a whoosh.
Fear made the boy's heart pound quicker and he could feel each beat as if it was trying to escape his chest and making it slightly hurt. Getting to his hands and knees, hands scrambled in the mulch trying to find the wand that had flown from his hands when he fell. Hands curling over the wand, Joschka quickly got to his feet casting a frantic look over his shoulder even as he was taking his first step to run again. Seeing he wasn't being pursued didn't make him hesitate any less.
This would be the last time he tried to sneak in here alone! At least now the boy knew why the forest didn't need guarding or warding against the students. Crashing through the underbrush he leaped over another root that would have had him sprawling on the dirt again. Leaving the forest and entering into the grass and sun that let him know he was back on school grounds, Joschka panted, hands on his knees, his whole frame quivering as he tried to breath and get himself under control. Wiping the back of a dirty hand across his sweaty brow caused a bigger dirt streak to form on his face, but he didn't care or even notice.
"I'm not doing that again," he muttered and nearly leaped out of his skin when he heard something crack behind him. Whirling, wand still in hand the boy glared at the person approaching, then lowered it a little. "What do you want?"
