Her eyes wandered over marble floors, their colors swirling mists into the gray and white. The only thing that mattered was in her hands.
The sharp glint of metal reflected off her dark eyes, seemingly oblivious to what was happening around her. Through the door shouts came through, reverberating off the walls.
Professor McGonagall seemed to be annoyed, Ginny thought. Attacks on her responsibility, her carelessness, and her lack of self-worth were echoing in Rain's ears, though she only heard an echo. Her mind was focused on the blades. she doesnt know, she calls me careless. in all her care, she never noticed once what was going on. won't she just shut up?? angry tears dashed at the corners of her eyes, daring to overflow. Should I?? She wanted the pain so badly. To feel the blood coming, and temporarily forget the past. but her cat, Garreth, thought otherwise.
ignoring the yells, and finally the agitated stomp away from the small bathroom where they sat, a black cat with piercing blue eyes nuzzled Ginny's wrist, and tried to push the sharp scissors away. His power to talk to her always astounded her, and this time was no different. You don't have to do this -- think of what Hermione would say if she found out, you promised to stop this... Ginny gave in. she stood up, slightly dizzy, and with the cat watching closely, stuck the scissors back in the drawer. She took one last look around the little white bathroom, and crept down the hall and crawled into bed, feeling the warmth of rough cotton against her skin, careful not to wake her soundly sleeping roomates, in the other corner of the large dorm room they shared at Hogwartz.
"Garreth?" she whispered into the darkness. She felt his lithe form jump onto the bed and curl up near her head, sending words of love into her mind, as she drifted off to sleep.
flashback
A boy was towering over a small girl, with dark hair and eyes that held innocence. well, he would fix that. In the corner of the stark white room, with a rainbow fan slowly turning overhead, was an even smaller blond haired boy, looking as if he had been betrayed over and over again, and had turned immune to emotion. He watched as the older boy, dressed in black, his large ugly warthog daemon urging him on, cornered the little girl and said some words to her. reluctantely it seemed, she shrugged off the clothing she was wearing and looked up at the boy as if to ask, whats going to happen now? Suddenly, pushed down on the small bed in the room. "Get down." he growled at her. "Draco! get over here!" the smaller boy came closer, still with a blank, unseeing look spread across his face. The older boy's face contorted into an evil smile, and his dark, endless black eyes narrowed, in an expression that could only be read as pure want of something wrong, something evil, as he leered over the bed....
and suddenly, everything went black....
end flashback
making little whimpers of distress, Rain and her daemon shivered slightly...and she stopped seeing the past, and started to dream...
she was walking into a coffee house with some school friends. it smelled of dough and pizza, and while her friends ordered, she stayed back, in the corner. suddenly, she remembered something she had fogotten, at home. as she walked out the door, for some reason not telling her friends where she was going, the world swirled into mist and a hand clamped over her mouth....
she looked up, and the man was shoveling dirt over a large black pit, where she lay. she looked around and screamed, it was full of women and girls....
She awoke with a start, sweating and shaking. you're Ginny .... you go to Hogwartz.......ur alive and well, it was just a dream....just a dream.... she looked up and saw the white scars that ligned her wrist, seeming even whiter, in the moonlight shadows coming from a solitary window above her bed. Garreth gave a small mew.. full of sadness, and she hugged him closer, and closed her eyes, and tried to think of better things...
