Born A Dark Lady

The Demise of Amara Gaunt

Tom Marvolo Riddle never thought he would ever love anyone until he met Amara. The one to take up his last name and the bearer of his beautiful daughter. The girl he saw as the source of his happiness. His sweet sweet Amara. The only reason Tom was ever able to love her was an interesting one.

See Amara was no normal girl, she was a demi-god. Her mother Aphrodite the goddess of love had a child with her father Achises who was a mortal and a wizard. At first Tom didn't know that Amara was a demi-god but all he knew was that she had an extraordinary set of powers that was displayed to everyone whenever they had to do duels in defense against the dark arts. Tom saw her as a good addition to the Knights of Walpurgis and tried manipulate her into joining. Funny how at first he used to only see her as a weapon and yet by the end of 7th year he saw her as his entire world. The heartless Tom Riddle finally found room for love in his stone cold heart.

They were happy, truly happy, with the war seeming to be in their favor and plus the birth of their child Isabella there seemed to be nothing that could go wrong. Of course, Tom had been foolish to think that he could ever be truly happy for so long without something going wrong. His world seemed to end and whatever was left of his heart broke into a million pieces when Amara was stabbed in the heart by none other than Albus Dumbledore.

Since the killing curse, poisons or in fact any magical means were useless in killing Amara as her magic stretches through space and time coming all the way from Mount Olympus, the only ways of her dying were through ironically enough, the muggle ways. And so when the knife pierced through her heart in a fatal stab, there was nothing Tom could do. The fight stopped and both the order and the death eaters fell silent, both sides knowing how much Amara meant to Tom, most of the order saw it in their battles how Tom protected Amara with everything in him and the death eaters saw how Amara was the only one who could calm him down and convince him not to torture them when they failed a task. And as he the life leave her eyes he felt an overwhelming amount of anger towards his former teacher and undoubtedly an indescribable amount of grief as he screamed into the night in pure loathing and pain and to everyone's shock, tears started to run down his cheeks. It was a scream that that seemed to pierce into every nearby living creature's hearts like Amara's fatal stab. It was just a sound that left his mouth, a sound that so many had made and yet, it seemed to have spoken a thousand words. It was like the cry of an augurey, a sound that spread to everyone's ears filling them with an insane amount of dread. An augurey's cries supposedly predicted death to anybody that hears it and in that moment, there was nothing that could protect the order from his hurricane of death and destruction.

By the end of it, those from the order who were still alive had no choice but to apparate away it they wanted to live to see the next day. Tom wanted to end everything in that moment, he wanted nothing more than to simply perish and start his next adventure with Amara far away. But then he remembered he still had Isabella. He remembered the pure amount of joy he felt when he first took her into his arms, the joy he felt when she giggled up at him trying to pinch his nose, the promise he made to her and himself that he would protect her no matter what it took and the promise only strengthened when he saw the grey eyes with a hint of sea foam looking up at his dark chocolate brown ones. Her eyes were just like hers. Isabella needed him and he wasn't going to leave her all alone just like his parents did, and he wasn't going to leave her her in a world like this. No, he would continue to fight and mold the world in his design, a world where his daughter would have unlimited power, a world where the order wouldn't ever be able to reach and try to take her away from him. She would be safe and happy in that world and in that moment, that seemed to be the only thing that mattered.
He would never leave his princess alone

Ps: Amara's last name was Gaunt became she took Tom's name after they married and she didn't take Riddle because Tom didn't want them to use his "filthy muggle father's name" so they became Mr and Mrs Gaunt.
