Authors's Note: I know these chapters are short and I apologize. Perhaps leaving off Seize the way that I did was wrong. But honestly, people are hardly reviewing for this fic. I had more for all my others. Maybe I should stop this? It's the same people to review (no offense) for all of my fics.
Chapter Four:
It took all her strength to not lunge at him the next morning out of rage. He had told her he wanted to speak with her, but she never thought that he wanted to talk to dump her. Her fingers trembled and her palms felt clammy. Her hair blew in her eyes absentmindedly as they stood by the lake. How could he have done this to her? Hadn't he said just the other day that he loved her?
"Say something," he looked at the ground, his voice low and scared? "Please." He was begging now.
"Who the fuck do you think you are!" was her only jagged reply. It stung but he knew he deserved it.
"I-" he started but slowly realized, Who am I to do this to her? "You don't deserve me. I'm sorry I ever trespassed in your life." He stepped back to the castle and she didn't move. Hot tears escaped her eyes and her vision of him was blinded. She could feel her knees bury deep in the mud as the rain soaked her body. Take it back, damnit! Take it back! TAKE IT BACK!
Would it do any good if he did? They'd just start from an awkward position anyway.
Blaise could not believe his luck. You are such an idiot, Malfoy. He watched Ginny standing alone now beneath the trees but still dripping wet. She looked cold too. Perhaps he could help her. He stepped to her side.
"Go away, Draco."
"Things don't always go as we expect," he said steadily as she turned and wiped her eyes.
"Oh Blaise, it's you. I thought Draco-"
"He's gone. Looked pissed off. What happened?" Like he wasn't watching them like a hawk.
"Oh nothing, he just dumped me." Ginny replied while biting her tongue.
"What the hell for? He's really an arse sometimes."
"That's just it. I don't know."
"Has he been acting weird?"
"No, no more then usual."
Blaise sniggered. "Ah-because he has always been weird."
Why was he being so nice to her? He uses his charm, no woman can resist. Draco had said that once. Draco...Would he be heartbroken the next time they crossed paths? Could she let years of yearning and wanting cease to exist because of this moment? She stepped past Blaise and he grabbed her arm. "Let go."
"You think you can just forget him? Maybe you just used him, like you used Thomas and Finnigan. You really are a vixen aren't you?" He tipped her head up with his finger and she glared. Who did he think he was? "I didn't think that you, Ginevra Weasley had it in you to be so cruel."
"Shut up," tears leaked from her eyes and he laughed at her. "let me go."
"I won't allow you to hurt him. Not without a payback of my own." He smirked at her.
"You're blackmailing me?"
"Very good, yes. Be with me and I won't tell him that you used him. You can be happy."
"I loved him! I won't ever be with you-" She felt her arm crack suddenly as he shoved her into the tree that stood alone by the lake.
"You will...you will love me or I'll kill you. I have the power." The tattoo on his arm glistened as his sleeve fell; the skull that seemed to choke on a giant snake. Blaise Zabini was a Death Eater.
"No! Get off!" She felt and sounded like a scared deer between the headlights of a car. Her red hair was tousled and fisted greedily into his hand. He held her tightly and breathed against her face like a rabid animal.
"What is life to you? Is it so precious that you would consider leaving it behind?"
I listen to people think
It's an ability But words move too fast
It leaves me behind It doesn't matter I'll sit here and ponder
Hoping that you've safe As you freefall into grace
Summer days that let me drift away
I want you to know
It's only a game that I play
All in the words that you say What you want to be
What you want to see It's okay to laugh it away
Maybe all the things we've seen
Never existed anyway
That's fine by me
Memories were made to fade away
I don't see to mind
Only a game that I play
All in the words you say
Echos I feel everyday
I'm stronger when you fade into me
Summer days they help me drift away
Old memories I never could see I never will know
Just want you to know Only a game that I play All in the words that you day
Echoes I feel everyday
Want to remain in your maze
"I-" Ginny pleaded but couldn't find the words.
"You are nothing without your mind games!" He shouted and struck her across the face. "You don't even deserve this worthless life you've got now. Why don't you just rot and die? Nobody wants you!"
"That isn't true," she muttered and raised her eyes.
"Oh? Then why has Draco abandoned you?"
"Shut the hell up!"
"He has and you'll never get him back." He twisted her arm and she cried out. "I'm not going to see him in ruins because of you. I will make you pay, I can promise you."
