Half a Life

The last battle.

Voldemort

'avada kadabrah' ' you will never escape you mud blood' 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'

Waking up to this wasn't pretty. It was the middle of the war, everywhere I looked there were people crying and fighting. Fighting because of me.

I sprinted round the castle until I finally bumped into Helena, she was fighting Bellatrix, and she wasn't winning. I decided to give her a helping hand, even if it meant fighting my own army. Bellatrix glared at me and then vanished. Helena looked at me not with hate or love, but with horror as a shadow danced behind me, this shadow was my own.

While everyone kept fighting I had the sudden realisation, all this time I thought I was fighting a person, but no, I was fighting myself . The thing now known as my shadow, the shadow I have had since birth, the shadow that not only wants power over me but the whole world I live in.

Suddenly there was a booming voice ' ha, now you finally know whats been with you all these years, saddly you only find out on the last day of you life as not only am I taking over the wizarding world I am taking over YOU!!!!!'

I gave a look round nothing had changed everyone was still fighting, only I had heard the voice.

The Potter boy had come in front of me he told me to end this war, he said the I still had time to change, if only he was right.

A scream came behind me, it was from Granger, she kept saying she hated me and what I had done, she put out her wand and said the killing words, a red spark shot out of her wand. A flash came in front of me, that flash was Helena.

Helena had jumped in front of me so I would live, now Helena lay in my arms, not yet dead as Granger didn't mean the spell enough to kill. Helena's last dying word were ' Tom, stop this war, fight the shadow' she the spoke louder so more people could hear ' Voldemort isn't the monster you think he is. He is kind and is true to his word. His shadow is the thing that has done this. Please believe m.............'

Helena was dead, everyone had stopped fighting and had

gone, everyone but me and poor Helena. The strong glow from the sun had hit me and Helena together for the last time. A heavy weight was taken from my shoulders as my shadow had broken apart. I was too strong for it, I was no longer weak enough for it as I had realised there is place for me in this world, even if I find it hard to find that place. I fact there is a place for everyone if the just look hard enough.

Nobody's POV

Helena's body was left on a stream near her old cottage. The only thing you could hear was the water flow and the birds singing there song as Helena's eyes flickered open once more...
