Chapter 1 - Reflection
It was pitch black outside
when she woke up screaming.
As tears cascaded down her face
she realised
it had already happened.
Ginny's heart sank into icy depths as it hit her again and again that he was gone. As were many others. She thought of all the faces that would fade into her memory when her eyed did not see them.
With just two words
Riddle had destroyed
Her life,
Her heart,
Her future.
She knew that sleep would not claim her again to rescue her out of reality past or present. She tiptoed down the hallway, the light of a candle lighting her way as the misty paths of her mind cleared.
She entered the attic,
the place where she dwelled
on what could have been.
She placed herself in front of the mirror
with those now-familiar reflected letters.
As she looked in the glass she only saw
herself with a boy
with untidy black hair nearly covering a scar,
the scar that had shaped her life.
She gave up trying to stem the tears.
