Tryst -Tom Riddle

16

⚠️(TW- MURDER) ⚠️

MACKENZIE'S POV
Standing in front of the Riddle Mansion, I was expecting Tom to look nervous about meeting his father, but no he is emotionless like he is most of the time.
"Are you ready to go inside darling?"
No, not at all, not after what he did to me. I want to go back home.

"Yes Tom. If you don't mind me asking, what are you going to say to him?" I mentally cursed. He just told me not to question him. "Y-you don't have to answer that." I said hoping he doesn't get all scary again.
"You will see once we go inside." He said taking out the wand he stole from his uncle and used it unlock the door. Quietly, we both went in to find two old people and a middle aged man. Tom Riddle SR. Tom looks exactly like him, just a bit younger.

His father stared at him in shock, he wasn't ready to meet his son he abandoned 16 years ago. I can't blame him, this was an uninformed visit. He looked at me for few seconds, not really paying attention and travelled his eyes back to Tom.
"How did you get in?" He asked us, his grandparents, I'm assuming stared at us like we are from another planet. I expected him to at least look relieved to see his long lost son, some happiness? But no, just an expression of pure surprise, horror, rage. But as his uncle described him, rude and snobbish, he does seem so. "Who sent you here? I thought you died when Merope attempted to kill herself!"

" I never had the opportunity to get to know my mother, Riddle. But she wasn't like you, that I'm sure of. I didn't expect you to seem happy to see me but if I'm being honest, I'm not that satisfied either. You are what I always thought of you. Utter disappointment and pathetic excuse of a muggle. I suppose my mother just noticed your charming looks when she fell in love. Love made her kill herself, you made her take her own life. Who knew it could be that dangerous?"

"I would never-"

"Please. Save it. Consider this a revenge for my mother and I."

With that, he raised the wand and aimed at his father. I don't think his father is aware of the wizarding world. He was now shocked and confused. Studying his face for some time, I heard Tom yell "AVADA KEDAVRA!" It took me some seconds to realise that the spell, it kills. He killed his father! His body fell down with a loud thud. His grandfather gasped loudly followed by his grandmother screaming loudly. I stood there frozen, eyes wide and mouth wide open. My mind is still processing what just happened. I saw someone being killed right in front of my eyes. Tom used the same killing spell twice more, he killed his grandparents too. Three dead bodies are laying on the floor and the killer is standing right beside me. The person I kiss all the time, the person I am going to spend so many days with is standing right beside me. I just know that I am next.

His head snapped towards my direction. I started shaking. A loud sob escaped my lips which helped me realize that I'm crying again. All he does is make me cry. I took a step back.
"Macy-"
"N-no, you..get away....get away from me!"
"Love listen-"
"NO! P-please don't k-kill me!"

I took a step back, he took one forward. We repeated the actions until my back hit the wall and he stood right in front of me, barely any distance between the two of us. I tried escaping from the side but he slammed his hands on the wall making me flinch, trapping me completely between him and the wall.
I kept repeating the phrase 'please don't kill me' over and over again, shaking, sobbing, crying, my heart beating extremely fast, all of it making it difficult to breathe. I heard him say "I won't kill you" or "calm down" or even "just breathe" but none of these sentences changes the fact that he is a murderer, I am a victim of his evil plans, he manipulated me and used me, he is a monster.
"Y-you killed them T-tom! Why would y-you do t-that?"
"I told you that I-"
"I-I am next, a-am I right?" I said, not letting him finish. I know that makes him angry but I couldn't control my own actions.

I kept repeating "you're a monster." "You are a murderer" "how could you be so heartless?". He held my face and practically yelled "Enough!"

The anger and clear signs of annoyance in his voice made me shut myself up immediately.
"I said I won't kill you. Calm down! Why can't you just trust me?!"
He expects me to trust him after all he did was lie to me since the very beginning.

"I won't harm you Macy, I won't." He said but I pushed him away.
"Just because you won't kill me doesn't change the fact that you're a murderer!" I yelled at his face.
Clenching his jaw, he stood close to me again, holding my wrists in either of his hands and pinning them above my head, he said, "I told you about the horcruxes and how they work, didn't I? Then why are you acting so surprised?"
Great, now I am just letting the criminal blame the victim.
Suddenly, he smirked and chuckled evilly and said, "There is so much more things you are yet to see darling. I wonder how you will react. I thought you were stronger than this but clearly I was wrong."
Oh lord, I am not ready for any of that.

He kissed my forehead and I didn't even see him remove his wand. As soon as I realized that his wand is aimed at me, my eyes widened with fear. Is this how my life ends? He whispered something and soon later, everything went black.
