Hey guys, yeah, it's Raven here, and with me I have brought you a copy of Traitor Chapter 8: Creature of Chaos. I hope you guys enjoy it. I have been getting a lot of comments of Overpowered! Ginny, so I just want to clarify that these powers are leading up to something. And just because her weakness isn't clear yet, does not mean that she doesn't have one.
Ginny: Can I do the disclaimer?
Me: No.
Ginny: Let me do it or I'll kill you and use your corpse in a dark ritual to kill off the Hogwarts population.
Me: (backing away slightly) sure...
Ginny: Raven doesn't own Harry Potter. He's just a guy sitting behind a computer, typing up stories.
Ok, so let's get on with the story now before Ginny kills me for delaying.
Chapter 8: Creature of Chaos.
Ginny POV
Ginny sat in her room in Riddle Manor, her expression murderous. Dumbledore had once again forced her away from her target. First with the Burrow, now with Madam Bones. She was furious, so furious that even going to a nearby muggle town and killing an entire household didn't bring a smile to her face. She froze suddenly, sensing that he wanted to speak with her again. She stood up and turned to face a dark mirror leaning against the wall that had been created just for this purpose. The frame was a black metal, and the dark black glass was tinted as such that one couldn't actually see their reflection in it. However, if one looked carefully, one could see that some of it was a shade darker, forming a laughing humanoid with wings on their back. She stepped right up to it, flicking her wrist to make sure that her door was locked, before turning once more to face the mirror. Then she stepped through.
The land she walked into was somewhere else entirely. It would be literal hell on Earth, except that as near as she could figure out, it wasn't actually on earth. The twin suns orbiting the planet scorched its cracked surface. Supposedly, this planet had once been home to a thriving civilization, until Delatite, who was supposed to be that world's hero, had decided to destroy it in revenge for what the public said about him. That hero was what the beings that lived their now called an "Unhero", or someone who was supposed to be a hero but didn't become one. Ginny was another Unhero. Based on what he had told her, the universe had intended her to be Harry's faithful companion, and had designed her story to place her in that position. Somewhere along the line though, things had not turned out the way the universe intended, and instead of Harry's faithful companion, she was perhaps his greatest foe. She walked up to him. He was a huge slug like creature, with short stubby arms and a strange, grotesque, human like face. He had never introduced himself, so she just referred to him as He when she thought of him. No other reference was needed, he was Him or He, depending on what tense Ginny was using at the time. When speaking to Riddle, she referred to him as her Patron. He turned to face her and spoke to her in his voice that sounded as if knives were being scratched against stone.
"You have done well, Bloodreaper." She nodded. He never requested that she bow to him, as the power of choice supposedly made them equals.
"Naturally I have. With the power that you have given me, I have spread more chaos than Delatite ever could." He gave a cold mocking laugh, and despite herself, Ginny felt a shiver run down her back. He was more powerful than even she could imagine, and she had no intention of crossing him.
"Ginevra Cruelty Bloodreaper, while powerful, you are still a child compared to me. But no matter. I have sensed your frustration. It..amuses... me, more than you could believe. The old human fool has once again forced your retreat?" Ginny kept her expression stoic, but her fury raised on the inside. Dumbledore would die by her hand, and her hand alone. She asked again if she could kill Riddle, and the response was the same.
"No. Riddle is vital to the corruption of your world. If your goals prove to collide, leave, but do not kill him. He will provoke destruction across the land. Killing him will give the side of the light the chance to push us back once more." Ginny nodded, it was the same response as before, thinking before speaking again.
"That can not be allowed to happen. The Light has had their chance. Every dog has its day. Soon it will be the Dark's turn. Our day in the sun fast approaches." The fire in her eyes burned bright, but it wasn't the calm and quiet flames of a campfire or fire in the fireplace. They were the raging blaze of an Inferno. She reached out and felt the malevolent energy that filled the planet. The evil that surged through this place was stronger than Riddle Manor could ever be. It was stronger than the malevolence that surged off of Riddle himself. She gave a cruel smile, feeling as it warped her form even more than it already had been warped, and with it, she felt another rush of power. All over her body she felt the same burning sensation she always felt when she received new tattoos, however, she didn't bother to look at them. A few of the less powerful beings of the planet approached, and she reached out with a clawed hand, a massive stream of lighting blasting off of her palm, just as strong as the most powerful blast of lightning to ever strike the earth, disintegrating several of them, with the few that escaped to run far away. She vaguely noticed the sharp blades protruding from each arm, but what really held her attention were the pair of wings on her back. Looking in a puddle of water nearby, she saw that they were the same color of midnight, and they were similar in design and texture to bat wings. She gave a smile. She turned to Him and gave a smile as he spoke. "The Light does not stand a chance." She gave a cackle before she spread the wings. "Of course they don't." She burst out laughing, a terrifyingly cruel sound that would have frightened even Bellatrix Lestrange, her sharp fangs resembling those of a savage wolf. "Of course they don't." A cruel smirk adorned her features.
"After all, I am the Angel of Death."
AN: Well then, I don't think any of you expected that last bit. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and please leave a review. Next chapter, we get a little more of Ginny's backstory, including how she met him, as she calls him. Read and review.
Raven out.
