"I won't"
By crisundomiel
Lucius was not an easy person to talk to and Draco knew he was not going to accept his decision, but still he had the courage to cry it out at his face.
"I will not become a Death eater father, I won't".
If only he knew that by doing so he would be condemning himself to live soulless.
His face was red from the slap but he was still looking defiantly at his father. He was not going to tread his father's path. He was not going to become a monster. He refused to join the dark side. He had been locked inside his room and he knew that he had no chance of getting out of there undetected. His icy blue eyes were still bloat from crying but she was worth it. But Lucius was not the type of man that accepted a no for an answer and he would do all in his power to break his son's will.
He would torture him if he had too, like he had done so many times before whenever Draco refused to obey his commands. It had been like that all his life. His father played him as if he was a puppet. Lucius was the master and he was the subordinate. Lucius ordered and he complied, he had to. His life was gloomy and he couldn't see the light that shined outside his dreadful world, he didn't want to see it. All his life he had been afraid, oppressed and subjugated and he had no reason to believe that his life could be any different.
But then he had met her and she had made a new hope shine in his life she had been the warm flame that had enlightened his world. He had gotten tired of playing "Lucius Says" now that he had a reason to believe that things could be different… better. He could finally set free of his father's domination, he could finally be happy. But how would he set free? Would he find the strength he needed to face Lucius within? His father knew that he was different, that he was slipping away from his strapping fingers and he had him punished for it. Draco feared him more then anything and so he hesitated.
knowing his intentions of turning to the good side his father had the girl he loved, the reason for all his boldness, killed. For Lucius Ginny Weasley had been nothing but an obstacle that had to be removed. He wanted to eradicate all the goodness that his son kept inside and he had been succeeded. Draco had been distraught because now that she was gone he was soulless, he was broken, he was hollow, he was beaten.
He would embrace darkness, it was his destiny and no matter how much he ran he couldn't escape it, for darkness had been with him all his life. Every time he had been beat by his father. Every time his mother have pretended that they were a happy family, every time she had closed her eyes to her husband's brutalities against their son. Darkness had stood there silently by his side since the day he had been born. There was no way out of it and every single road that lay ahead of him lead to it.
Miserably alone as an empty shallow he dived in the darkness that crept silently from his bleeding heart. Never again would he feel alive. Never again would he feel whole. Lucius had won. He was stronger and he had proved it.
There was nothing left for Draco in the world outside, nothing he could cherish, nothing he could love and never again would Draco say to his father "I Won't".
