A/N: I'm so happy! Happy happy happy! Probably 'cos I went to a party last night (for the first time in, like, a year) and had a GREAT time! I got a kinda sorta boyfriend. Yay on me lol! : ) I'm just happy! Anyhow, my happiness has possessed me to ask my mum to let me go on the internet for a bit (so I can post this). And she said yes. Yay! Tra la la la ... Read and enjoy, dear readers. And review, dear reviewers.

Let Me Bleed

I wake with a start.

I heard something. A shout, a hiss, a curse.

What's going on? Why is it so dark?

And why am I so cold?

His arms aren't around me anymore! Where is he?

There's a low hiss coming somewhere from my left.

Is that you?

Why is it so goddamn dark?

I get onto my knees and start crawling forward, groping around the place.

There's a harsh laugh somewhere above me.

"Awww, look at this, McNair. Little Malfoy's on his knees for me."

Someone else laughs now.

And now, suddenly, there lots of people laughing, above me, all around me.

Where are they? Who are they? Death Eaters, without a doubt.

What the hell's going on?

Why can't I fucking see?

I stop crawling, and the laughter stops.

"That was a good one, Lestrange. Did you use that on Frank so that he wouldn't see what was happening to his wife, so he'd just hear her screams? Very smart, I must say, causing someone to lost their sight."

Someone to lost their ... lose their ...

Fuck ... fuckfuckfuckfuck fuckity fuck fuck fuck.

I can't see him.

I can't see the person who's talking.

I can't see the Death Eaters.

I can't see anything.

I ... I'm blind.

Oh my God.

"Ron?"

My voice sounds weak and frail compared to the harsh, gruff voices that are now sniggering around me.

Where is he?

Where is he?

"Ron?"

My voice is louder now, clearer.

"Ron?! RON!"

I'm panicking now.

They're laughing.

Where is he? I can't see him, I can't hear him, I can't feel him.

I try to grope at a place next to me, but it useless.

I can't fucking see, my eyesight's fucking gone.

And now, so is he.

I'm surrounded by Death Eaters, and I have no fucking clue where my boyfriend's gone.

Now my voice is but a whisper.

"I need you Ron."

The laughter around me reaches pandemonium.

A/N: Hmmm ... believe it or not, I wasn't actually planning to write this chapter like this, I mean, I had no idea that the story was going to go in this direction. It just sort of ... happened. It kinda flowed. And, all the people who guessed/hoped it was/would be Ron (which was a good majority of you) ... CONGRATULATIONS! I am now currently sending you all cyber-hugs, cyber-cookies and )-;---s. And to the rest of the reviewers, of course, even if you didn't guess that it was Ron – I love you all anyway!!! Anyhow, as for Drac's blindness, blame Klypto the Muse™, not me! I am now eagerly awaiting for the reviews for this chapter. Go on. Bring them on. I'll just sit here, waiting ... gets down on both knees and begs PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE REVIEW!!! : )
