Chapter Two: Luna's Secret
There was a loud crack! and Ginny and Luna appeared by the Burrow. Luna was leaning over on Ginny, barely conscious. There was blood streaming down from her arm but she refused to let Ginny to see what it was. Ginny dragged Luna to the front door where Molly Weasley stared at the two teenage girls with wide eyes.
"Ginny!" she gasped as she opened the door, "Luna!"
Luna breathed, "It's nothing."
Ginny set Luna on the couch where she fell asleep fast. Ginny looked at her mother uncomfortably. Mrs. Weasley asked, "What happened to you two? I thought the students left two days ago when... well, you know what." Ginny gulped down a huge wad of spit and crashed on a recliner.
Ginny explained, "I had a late notice. I was asleep for almost a full day. No one bothered to wake me up when they were fleeing from Harry." She gripped the side of the recliner to relieve her pain. A tear streaked down her cheek at the thought of the new Harry.
"Wait just a damn minute Ginny," Molly said with anger flaring in her eyes, "I have to have a word with your brother Ronald." Her mother barged out of the room and left Ginny alone with sleeping Luna. Her eyes gazed at the drops of blood coming down from the sleeve. What caused that when she wasn't even attacked?
Ginny got onto her knees quietly and crawled over to Luna. She gripped the end of the sleeve and prepared for her worst nightmare. The anticipation began to make her nauseous. Her grip weakened and it felt the wind was knocked out of her. Everything went dim and she began to smell the salty blood before her. She uttered, "Uh..." and blacked out onto the floor. Just as her head slammed onto the floor, the blood stopped dripping.
--
"Ginny!" a male's voice echoed through her head, "Ginny! Wake up!"
Ginny's eyes fluttered open and she saw herself face to face with Harry Potter. But it wasn't the new Harry Potter... it was the old one that she knew and loved. She was laying in meadow on an island. About 10 yards each direction of her body was just land and the rest was a calm sea that smelled lovely to her.
Ginny smiled and whispered, "Harry..." He grinned and craned his neck towards her trembling mouth. It had been so long since they had a real kiss that actually meant something. She gripped the back of his shirt as their lips met for only a split second before a growling noise came from inside his chest.
Before she had a chance to react, everything around her began to burn into emerald flames. She screamed as his mouth darted towards her marble smooth neck. His fangs sunk into her neck like butter and she shouted for help while screaming in agonizing pain. After about ten seconds of this pain, she felt numb everywhere in her body. Her hands moved from his back and free fell onto the smoldering ground beneath her.
"Kill Luna..." he hissed before he vanishing into thin air, leaving Ginny to lay on Hell Island.
--
Ginny screamed in terror as she woke up. She slapped her neck to feel the spot that Harry bit her. It was nothing but normal, smooth skin. She exhaled heavily as she closed her eyes peacefully.
"Ginny?" Luna asked frantically, "What... what happened?" Ginny opened her eyes again and gulped.
She responded, "Harry. I dreamt about him and he-he bit me." Luna's eyes widened and she crashed onto the couch she had fell asleep on. She pressed her palm to her forehead and looked a little bit stressed out.
Ginny asked, "Luna?"
"Yes?"
"Why were you bleeding earlier? I want to know now!" Ginny demanded. Luna looked up and gave Ginny a glare. Her eyes turned to crimson easily. Ginny's heart almost stopped. Every thing in her body started to shut down. Fear overpowered her mind. She wasn't safe.
Luna sneered, "It's nothing Ginny!"
"Y-You're a vampire?" Ginny barely whispered. Luna's face turned pale white.
Luna snarled, "I don't need this. I'm going." She picked up her wand and darted towards the door. Ginny flicked her wand and the door slammed shut and locked. Luna pressed her finger tips onto the door and growled. Luna hissed, "Don't mess with me Ginny."
Ginny cried, "Why would you do such a thing? Why would you join Harry with his new found army?"
"Maybe because I want to!" Luna retorted.
Ginny had a tear trickling down her cheek from the corner of her eye. Luna exhaled calmly and rest her wand on the kitchen counter. Luna stared out the window and asked, "Have you ever felt as though you could rule the world?" There was silence between the two teenage girls.
"Sometimes," Ginny muttered.
Luna said happily, "That's how I feel like. I'm a... vampire." Ginny clutched her wand harder and wanted to knock out Luna. Anger was flaring inside her body.
Ginny said through clenched teeth, "Don't do this to me. You're my only friend that can destroy Harry forever! You know his weakness! You know how vampires can die!" Luna screamed in fury and pointed her wand at Ginny. Luna's pupils turned to slits and you could actually see fire glinting in her eyes.
BANG!
Ginny was knocked backwards and fell behind the recliner and rest on the floor. Luna unlocked the door and stormed out to leave Ginny bleeding on the floor, trying to cry for help but painful woes clogged her throat. Why would Luna do such a thing?
As Mrs. Weasley entered the sitting room and screamed in fear that her daughter was dying on the floor, Ginny remembered the two most haunting words she had ever heard of: Kill Luna.
