Burning Roses

●TOM●

She has to have it, there's no way I lost it. I put it under my bed, where I always put it. She has it, of course. I swear to Salazar, to me, I will kill her. Did she find the list? Fuck. I have to kill her- I have to kill her as soon as possible. I know she has it, I know she already figured it out, I know she knows what I'm planning. She's going to tell everyone, I have to stop her. Her secret won't do me any good, people will talk for about a month and then forget about her. Move on to the next thing. I have no control over her. She's the one whose controlling me. She isn't even afraid of me after what I did to her. God, what I would do to have my hands around her neck agian. She was so delicate under my fingers, I could've snapped her neck in half right then and there. The chamber, I'll bring her to the chamber and kill her. 

●DALAYZA●

"Dalayza." 

"Tom?" I say suprised. It's late and a school night, and I'm filling out my homework. I thought Tom would be with the others. What's even stranger is that he used my first name. 

"I need to show you something important." He says, glancing around the common room. Which, is weird because the only people in the room is a 2nd year girl and boy playing chess. He grabs my hand, pulling me away from my assignment. God- is he going to kill me? Now? I chuckle to myself when I realize what I'm saying. Tom is dragging me away from anyone who could be a witness, and then he's going to kill me. It makes me feel weird, knowing that he will and won't hesitate, and I'm not trying to run away. But that's because I know I will get out of it. Because I have my own plan. Tom drags me to the girl's bathroom, and walks in. 

"Tom, this bathroom is for the girls." I point out. He grunts in reply and shoves me aside. My back smashes into one of the stalls behind me. I hiss, rubbing my back. I'm about to go off when I notice Tom is whispering something to the faucet. What the hell? Is he drunk, high? The faucet then rumbles, and departs from Tom and me. The other faucets also start to rumble and move, making a big hole appear infront of us. 

"Ladies first." He smirks, before pushing me down the hole. I don't have anytime to scream, because the minute he pushes me in I feel the solid ground underneath me in a matter of seconds. Tom jumps down beside me, almost stepping on my hand. 

"Get up." He demands, and I obey. I take a look around me, I have no idea where I am. It's a chamber, with a green hue and musky water. The echo of droplets of water flow through my ears. There are statues of snakes lining up on both sides of me. And a long track of stone that leads to a statue of a head. The head so clearly is Salazar Slytherin, the founder of our house. Of course! How could I be so stupid! Camera secretorum is chamber of secrets! The chamber that Salazar built for purebloods to learn in. Also the home to- shit. Tom is walking along the track, getting closer and closer to the opened mouth of Salazar Slytherin. 

"Tom! Tom don't go any closer! The-"

"The basilisk won't kill me." He says, turning quickly towards me. "The basilisk obeys me, for I am it's master." 

Master. Wait- heredis. Heredis is heir. Tom is the heir to slytherin. 

"I'd say that by the look on your face you've figured it out." He says bluntly, staring into my worried eyes. 

"Tom, I don't know what you're thinking-" 

"Of course you don't know what I'm thinking! You have no idea what I'm thinking. And the thing I'm thinking of will make you run away screaming all the way to mummy!" He yells, walking closer and closer to me. "It will also make you scream my name and make your knees go weak." He whispers into my ear, even though we're the only to people in here. My lower lip quivers. What does he mean by that? Tom notices my nervousness and brings a hand to my hair. He takes a strand, twirling it in between his fingers. 

"It will make you feel sick, make your eyes wet with tears." He says, pulling harshly on my hair. I whimper, the noise echoing through the chamber. Tom chuckles, raking his fist through my hair. "I like it when you have no control. How your eyes go wide everytime you don't know what I'm going to do. Like a little bunny." He circles around me, moving his wand through his fingers. I stay in place, waiting for him to pounce. I need to wait before I strike, let him make the first move. I need to stick to my plan, I need to make him fall. Fall for me, all the way to the ground, make him frustrated with his feelings. He stops circulating around me, stopping in between me and the head of Salazar. 

"What are you thinking about?" He says, his black eyes staring into my soul. You don't even know Tom. I smirk, and he frowns. I walk over to him, slowly- one foot infront of the other. His grip on his wand tightens, and my hand grabs his. He gives me a confusing look before I lock our lips.
