Harry Potter-A Legacy Reborn

Murder - Sapphire

I began to shake as my eyes welled with tears and my hair turned a dark blue. I tried to et the words out but they wouldn't come. "Sapphire you really don't have to do this" Raven said placing a hand on my shoulder. I shook my head

"I really want to tell you" I said taking a breath "Mind it's not as big a secret as yours and you might find it silly I keep it a secret..."

"A secret is a secret no matter what it is. It it's important enough for you not to tell anyone then it's not silly" I took a deep breath

"I... I am a murderer" Raven's eyes widened but I quickly continued before she could say anything "I killed my uncle when I was 8 years old"

"You where 8" Raven tried to comfort me as she could see this was distressing me "You couldn't have meant it"

"That's the thing" I began to sob "Somewhere deep down.... I did mean it" Raven removed her hand from my shoulder out of shock "Let me explain ok" Raven nodded. I wiped my eyes "I was 8. My uncle and I had gotten into an argument over something, I can't even remember what it was about anymore, but it was something big" I paused to take a breath

"Take your time" Raven told me. I continued

"He'd walked out the house, probably to cool off, but I was to stubborn to let him get away. I followed him out of the house and kept yelling at him. My mum and dad told me to come back inside and leave it alone. They where scared I would loose control of my powers and something would happen. But in the end it wasn't my power that killed him. I don't remember much just that we where beside the road. He called me a brat out of anger and I screamed at him 'You are the worst person in the world and I hate you'. I pushed him onto the road... I didn't see the truck coming...." I burst into a flood of tears. My hair continued to become more dark blue until my hair couldn't get any darker. Raven put her hand on my shoulder again. It was a while before I calmed down again. I wiped my blood shot eyes "After that I locked myself in my room for days. I had nightmares... I still do... And I hate it. Because I know that the last words I said to someone where that I hated them... and it still haunts me" Raven looked at me sympathetically

"I'm sure your uncle knew deep down you really loved him. It wasn't your fault. You didn't see the truck"

"But I should never have pushed him in the first place" I yelled, half my hair turning red "I know you're trying to make it better but it never will be. I'm a murderer Raven! A cold blooded murderer and I'll never forgive myself" I broke down again "Sorry" I sobbed. You must think I'm making such a big deal out of nothing... I wiped my eyes again. "I'm sorry"
