HOW IT HAPPENED
Dear family,
I don't feel that I am a part of this family. I am sorry for all the pain and sorrow I have caused you in the past. I hope that you will all forgive me some day. Until then I would not be able to live with myself. So I have decided to leave so that I can no longer be a burden.
Love always and forever,
Ginny
A now 16 year old Ginny Weasley stood up and set the letter down on her bed. Tears streaming down her face, making her mouth fill with blood. She hated how he had done this to her, turning her into a monster, unable to enjoy the simple things in life. She longed to take a walk in the sun, to hear the birds sing, to eat real food. But she would forever be a child of death and darkness.
FLASHBACK
Ginny struggled through the thick underbrush every step of the way. Winter was coming and the floor of the forest was covered in dead leaves and pine needles. She didn't know where Ron was but she figured he'd found a dead tree to rip some wood off. They'd been out here for ten minutes searching for firewood, but weren't finding much. Ginny began to walk quicker, remembering all the stories about vampires and werewolves Fred and George had told her every time she wandered into the forest. They were probably just trying to scare her like always.
Twenty minutes later she came to a tree that was extremely odd shaped. It almost reminded her of a tree from Sleepy Hollow, a muggle film she had recently seen. Walking past it she headed further into the forest on her quest for firewood.
"What a ridiculous thing to send us out for!" she said to herself"Not to be mean but were not muggles. We could use our wands for god's sake." walking on further she stopped short when she saw the same tree she hade just passed a little while ago.
This time she noticed something on one of its misshapen branches. There was a figure clad in black with red eyes. In the blink of an eye it lunged at her and she screamed as long and loud as she could. Knocking her to the ground he sunk his fangs deep into her neck and drained her life from her body. A few seconds later he heard voices calling his prey. He ran through the forest and out of sight.
Ron raced to Ginny and cradled her lifeless body in his arms. With Fred and George tailing closely behind he ran towards home. Setting her on the couch he covered her up and went to look for Percy. Suddenly Ginny began sweating and shaking.
BACK TO REALITY
Ginny quivered at the thought of what she had become. She picked up a bag full of clothes and personal stuff, and climbed through the window down her balcony.
