A/N: Freeverse seven- prompt is capture.

strong

he whispers

ghost of a ghost's breath

slipping into her ear

crucio

he shapes it

lets it soar free

and she lays on the ground

shakes beneath a thousand knives

shivers as a the fire burns her skin

but-

she's still left whole

(*)

he always says

Ginevra

her name beautiful

on his lips

part of her hates him

because he rips away

the only friendship she has

replaces it with his pain and

the darknwss becknening

part loves him

because to him she is

Ginevra

not little sister

Harry's crush

little Weasel

(*)

the blood stains her hands

red, red like

sunsets

leading on the night

(*)

don't give in now

it's a command

a plea

she doesn't know

if he wishes for her to slip

into the land of half formed dreams

where the

pain-knives-fire

can't hurt her

prove he's in command

or if he wants her to

resist

stay when her skin is

uncut

but her soul instead

(*)

my Ginevra

he whispers

benediction

prayer

plea

over again and over

as he takes the

fire-red-life

leaves

cold-white-night
