Unhinged 2: Til the Flame Burns Out

Chapter 11

A/N: Here it is! Guys I could really use some feedback from you. What are your thoughts so far on the story?

"Well you look like yourself, but you're somebody else

Only it ain't on the surface

Well you talk like yourself. No, I hear someone else though

Now you're making me nervous"

The chorus from this song by Flora Cash "You're Somebody Else" inspired some of the scenes in this chapter in case anyone was interested.

Draco walked into his bedroom and his eyes fell on Ginny lying in bed. His mind went back to the events from earlier in the night. He walked around the side of the bed where Ginny was facing the wall and saw she was awake.

"How long have you been awake?" he asked her.

She wiped the tears from her face. "Does it matter?" she mumbled before she pulled the blankets up over her head.

"Gin, don't do that... don't start shutting me out."

She threw the blankets off herself and sat up. "Draco, look at me! I'm a fuckin walking nightmare!" she shouted.

"You're not," he said, gently grabbing her shoulders before he quickly grabbed his hands away when the contact of her skin burned him.

She just shook her head at his attempt to console her. "I could have killed you... or one of the kids. Maybe I do need to be locked up in a lab."

"No, Ginny you don't. You were fine before they fucked with you. I won't let them get to you."

"They already have Draco. It's only a matter of time before they come for Scorpius and Ember for evaluations. I'm sure the voluntary decision to have the rest of the kids will soon not be an option. They already have us-"

"Ginny, stop it," he said firmly as he grabbed her shoulders again, this time his grip was firm and his touch cold... freezing cold. "You are the strongest woman I know and I know you won't give in like this. You keep fighting until you can't fight anymore... ok?" he said as he locked eyes with her black ones.

She gave a nod before she hung her head. "But you're ok right? The kids, you sure they're all ok?"

He gave her a small smile. "Physically, they are all fine... emotionally and mentally..." he trailed off. "A lot of questions, Ellie feels guilty."

Ginny's eyes snapped up to his at his comment. "Why?"

"Because you used that spell on her, she thinks she gave you what was inside her."

"I have to go talk to her," she said as she went to slip out of the bed, but stopped when Draco stepped in front of her.

"Wait," he said.

She looked up at him before she felt him push a small vial into her hands.

"You need to keep drinking these sedation potions for now. Hermione said these ones won't make you so tired though, it will just calm you down."

Ginny looked at the vial in her hands. She thought back to the horrific memory of when she had gotten that cursed letter and became possessed by something so dark. She remembered Draco having to force sleeping draught down her throat just so that she wouldn't try to kill the twins or anyone else in the house.
