Disclaimer: Harry Potter doesn't belong to me. Dark Moon does, however.

Not all stories start happy, not all stories end well. This is the story of my descent from the Dark Lord's forced apprentice to a runaway girl, born for darkness and trying to find her way to the light.

Nobody trusts me. It's a well known fact that I was apprenticed by Lord Voldemort, but they don't know I did it unwillingly. My only hope of survival is to find Albus Dumbledore... and since Hogwarts is on the opposite side of the country it's not going to be easy.

I was born from ash, snake venom and spell. I have skin that would rival a light purple cloud at sunset. I have hair that blends into the night, sweeping about my face. My eyes are a dark purple, the pupils barely recognizable. My dark purple wings have black horns on the tips. I am a Dark creature, and I look it.

If ever I looked into a mirror, I would see a demon staring back at me... for that is what I am. I am Dark Moon, the most powerful demon ever to walk the Earth. I was born to aid the dark, but now seek the light. And I fear that my search is in vain.

Running. Running away from the Death Eaters who would recapture me, towards the light. Problem is, the light shields itself from me. I am an unwanted intruder, and the light will not let me in without a fuss.

But I must get in. That is crucial. There is a greater threat now that Voldemort knows where it is... now that he can get down there. A crystal device is buried deep in a mountain in another realm. If Voldemort can get to it, figures out how to work it, he can force the entire world to its knees. I am the only one who knows this, aside from Death Eaters, who would only aid Voldemort. If I can alert Albus Dumbledore, he can send his most able pupils - Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley and several others- to help me disable the crystal and possibly save the world.

My name is Dark Moon. I am a runaway apprentice and a dark demon. Not a living person in the world trust me. And I am on a mission for the light.

Author's Notes:

Should this be a one-shot or not? And was my attempt at angst really as horrible as I think it is?
