Dearest Journal
October 13th
Dearest Journal,
What drives a man to murder? Some men say it\'s love. Others say it\'s revenge. In my case it is neither. I do it because I can. Because of the feeling. The feeling of power. Do I feel remorse? Absolutely not. Do I feel powerful? Definitely. To hold another\'s life in my hand gives me a feeling like no other. It\'s not the adrenaline rush that drives me to this extreme. Is this my first kill? No, definitely not! I was 12 the first time I felt it, the serene feeling of murder. But, as I revisit the scene, still fresh in my mind from only hours before, I see his face contort in pain as the blade hit bone and I laugh.
Cold blooded killer they call me in the paper. Why? Because I feel no remorse? Predators feel no remorse. Have you ever seen a wolf weep over its meal? Of course, I do not eat my kill(although, next time maybe I shall taste my victim before I finish), but it is still a meal. I dine on the fear of those I kill. The look of sheer, unadulterated terror in their eyes fills me so.
What is the weapon of choice for a killer such as myself? I have several. Sure, I could wipe the life from their faces with a flick of my wand, but where\'s the fun in that? No, I use whatever is convenient. A jagged-edged rock, a knife, I even used a book once, but that had some symbolic meaning to the victim on which I used it. Yes, I remember that night very clearly. I killed her with the very book she\'d been in love with since she came to this institution. Why did I kill her? Because she was a mudblood? No, simply because I could. Most would refer to me as a disorganized killer, having no concrete plan in my head besides carnage. They all believe me to be innocent and dim-witted, but that is what I let them see. When they finally figure it out it will be too late. I think it best to stop here, tears will soon be shed and I will be the shoulder upon which they fall. No doubt his death will be met with a great mourning for all...well, most of the wizarding world. I\'m sure some will have silently thanked me.
With this quote I shall leave you.
\"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.\"
Until next time,
NL
A/N: Thanks for reviewing mother, you are right about the plant reference. I\'ve always wanted to write a short 1 chapter fic about a Neville we would never see in the books, lol. Also, Anon, your question should be answered now. Jeanette, I\'m glad you liked it, I tried to keep the identity a secret until the very end, I think it came out well in that aspect. Jkrazed, glad you liked it. I wasn\'t sure how well it would come out since I\'ve never tried writing a dark fic before(Even a short one like this). I figured at least one person had to be sick of Hermione spouting info from her beloved Hogwarts: A History, I know I was, lol. Glad you enjoyed the fic, Rachele. I may do another chapter, I may not. It all depends on time, as I haven\'t much of it, lol. I am currently awaiting the first chapters of a fic that I will be co-writing with another author, then I have to write a few chapters and I still have another fic I\'ve been neglecting for some time now, lol. But if I get a chance I will try and get another chapter up.
