Ginny screamed. She couldn't help it. Their anguished cries that echoed in her mind, torturing her sanity... Their faces, contorted in pain, twisted into horrific shapes.
She pressed her hands to her ears trying to shut out the sound that came from within, the sound that she would never forget. Closing her eyes only made it more real, forcing her to open them again. Faces floated past in the dark, each one more and more pained, each one more and more heartbroken, begging for her to save them.
But she couldn't.
Clenching fists, half-circles of blood appeared as enamel pierced flash. Her very soul was screaming in agony.
Rolling to her side, her fiery hair fell before her eyes, masking pain for a moment as thoughts fluttered by. The pain returned with a vengeance, screaming at her, making her raise fists and grab at the wall of sunset red hair, tearing locks and choking sobs.
Pale skin, drawn with self-inflicted torture, creased as eyes squinted and tears were held at bay.She wouldn't cry.
She couldn't cry.She stood up, looking at the clock. An eternity had already passed, and another eternity awaited her. Stars twinkled, mocking her insomnia, her refusal to relive the nightmares.
Lips closed resolutely, deciding long ago that no tears would fall, not words of sorrow would pass. But the thoughts bounced about, echoing with the screams, torturing her.
Brown eyes sought out any other ones, but she was alone. Alone with her memories.
