Gabrielle,

I'm sorry I'm not saying this to you in person but I can't. I was captured by Draco. When I rode into the village Draco was waiting for me. I was surrounded by his men, and as always I fought my hardest but they won. They tied me up and reminded me that this is all doing good ever gets you.

For the next few days Draco tortured me never letting me gain my full strength back, and every day he tempted me with the offer to join him he kept reminding me that I am the reason he went down that path. Something in me snapped and I made my way out. As I crawled out of that awful camp I looked back at Draco's corpse and realized that I was happy, I WAS HAPPY. Draco had gotten his final wish I enjoyed suffering. He made me realize that I break people because I am broken. When I try to fix myself I put the pieces together wrong and I fall apart.

I know you think that I am a hero. I kept thinking I have someone who believes in me, but I have reeked so much havoc in my lifetime. Every time I outrun a demon of my past another comes to haunt me. Gabrielle I don't want to turn an innocent angel into a demon. People who care for me head down paths no mother ever wants her child to go down. I bring hell, and if you follow me you will join the ranks of the dead.

I'll Remember You
