AN: Just so you know, Fleur never planned on marrying Bill, since he wasn't her mate. She was just waiting until the right moment to tell him, but didn't need to since Bill broke it off before she could.
Chapter Ten: A Veela's Mate, A Veela's Sorrow
Ginny woke to a cold wet cloth being placed on her forehead.
"Unnn," she groaned, "What happened?"
Then everything came rushing back to her and she sat up with a curse.
"Fuck!" she cried, then saw Fleur, looking startled and slightly hurt.
"I take it you remember?" she said softly, looking, for all the world, like a kicked puppy.
Ginny's heart melted and she sighed.
"I'm sorry, Fleur…it's just that…well, I didn't know, and I was shocked. Hell, I'm still shocked!" she said.
Fleur nodded and looked down, sighing tiredly.
"You don't have to stay with me, you know," she said, the words coming out of her mouth in a forced, bitter way.
Ginny was shocked into silence.
"I won't force you into anything you don't want…" Fleur continued, "I love you too much to do that to you, so if it makes you happy, I'll leave you be and let you live your life with someone who's normal and human."
"No!" cried Ginny, "No, please, Fleur! I love you! I need you and I couldn't bear to live without you!"
Fleur smiled a bitter smile and said, "Are you sure? Are you sure it's not just lust? You looked pretty fucking devastated when I told you. Are you sure you're not just using me as a fuck toy before you can get back to Harry Potter?"
Ginny recoiled as if she had been slapped.
"What?" she hissed in shock.
"You heard me," said Fleur coldly.
Ginny's hurt began to abate, and in it's place was anger.
"You," she said through gritted teeth, "don't know shit! How dare you make assumptions about how I feel! You don't know what I think or how I feel! I'm not some stupid little girl who doesn't know anything about love, or pain, or hurt! I know more than you think, I know how cruel people can be. I've felt it. I know how it feels when someone pretends to be your friend, makes you trust them, then betray you when you least expect it and violates you until you scream yourself hoarse. I know! So don't you dare think you know everything about me, when you don't know the half of it!"
Fleur looked confused for a moment, before her eyes widened in realization.
"You—you were…raped?" Fleur cried, stunned.
Ginny's eyes filled with tears and she nodded.
Fleur was shocked into silence.
She was so shocked, she hardly noticed Ginny gather her clothes and run from the room, leaving her in silence.
And then it all sank in.
And Fleur screamed; anger, sorrow, horror, empathy and rage mingling in her voice, as she broke down, devastated that she hadn't been there to protect her beloved mate.
