Chapter 58: I Saved You

Y/N:

"Blake?"

He looked broken. He was thinner and had scars covering his bare chest and arms.

"They left me there to die." He said and his grasp tightened around my throat. "Because of you."

I tried to summon my wand, but his grip was so tight I was already starting to see stars.

"The Dark Lord is very curious about you. Maybe it's time he find out who you really are."

Everything started to pixelate black when I saw Tom storming through the bedroom door.

My eyes met his as my head fell forward.

"Crucio!" The curse shot from Tom's wand at Blake, but he'd been training.

He spun quickly letting go of me and threw up a shield sending the curse back at Tom.

I apparated in front of Tom and attempted to throw up a shield too, but I wasn't quick enough.

The curse hit me in the stomach and sent me crumpling to the ground behind me at Tom's feet.

It felt like my skin was eating away at the flesh underneath. Like I'd fallen into a volcano and all of my skin was burning off.

It felt like a knife was carving into my strength as I squirmed on the ground clutching the place it had made contact.

Tom's hands covered the area and immediately he whispered healing spells. I gave him a look telling him that I'd do it, just take care of Blake.

Tom stood up slowly. Evil and power emanating from his subtle movements.

"Hello Tom." Blake said in a sarcastic tone.

Tom shot him a murderous glare as he stepped closer to him.

Blake didn't move.

But he laughed. "Barely two words in and you already look like you want me dead. You're getting all worked up over nothing." He laughed again, "you've changed."

Blake paused, "your getting weak."

Tom cast another Crucio curse and Blake sent it towards the floor.

"I'm done here. I have missions to complete. I just wanted you all to see how easy it is for me to get to you." Blake continued.

Tom sent another cruciatus curse, but it hit nothing but air as Blake apparated away in an instant.

Tom turned back to me and rushed to help me out of the dress. I couldn't properly heal it till it had been cleaned.

Tom leaned down and wrapped his arms underneath my legs and back, carrying me bridal style to the bathroom. He set me down on the rim of the bathtub.

I refused to remove my hand from the place it had hit my stomach.

Tom's fingers found the zipper of my dress as he pulled it down gently.

The top and sleeves fell of my shoulders and was slowly being held up by where I was clutching my injury through the dress.

He lifted my chin with his finger, forcing me to look him in the eye. "Darling."

His tone was soft and sweet as his other hand wrapped around my wrist. I still refused to remove it from covering the spot on my stomach. "Let me look." He continued.

I still didn't want to move my hand.

"Don't you trust me?" He said wearing a smirk.

Both of his hands found mine as he slowly pulled my hands away from my stomach. He kept his eyes locked with mine.

I felt his fingers pull the dress down the rest of the way past the hole burned into my stomach. Then his eyes flicked down to my stomach.

I didn't want to look so I stared at his facial expression. His eyes widened slightly then narrowed. "How are you doing that?"

What?

I looked down. The gaping hole burned into my flesh was already starting to heal itself at rapid speed. The cells literally growing together like they were regenerative.

"I- I'm not doing anything?"

We watched as it continued till it was healed completely, leaving nothing but a small white scar.

Tom looked at it like he was trying to unravel the worlds greatest mystery. He ran his thumb lightly over the scar.

"Tom." His eyes darted to mine. "What just happened?"

"I don't know." He responded. "But we will figure it out together I promise."

"And Blake?"

His eyes flicked to the scar then back to my eyes and his jaw clenched. "He's a dead man."

He went to turn and I reached out and grabbed his arm, "Tom. He said he knew who I really was." He tugged on my hold, "and he threatened to tell your father."

"Oh now he really is a dead man."

"No." I cut him off.

"No?"

"I said no. He looked hurt. He needs help."

"I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that."

"I did. I want to help him. Maybe he can be saved?"

Tom gripped my jaw with his free hand and jerked it up towards him, "not everyone can be saved. You can't save everyone!"

"I saved you."

He paused.

"Yes you did. But Blake isn't me."

"Tom you were drowning in darkness and hate when we met. You were nothing but a merciless killer and tonight you dressed up as an angel to take me to dance all because you wanted to make me happy."

"I didn't want you dancing with-"

"Don't ruin it."

He smiled.

"I can do it. I can save him." I said looking Tom in the eye and giving him a reassuring smile.

He looked lost in thought. Like he was having a mental battle with himself.

"Fine. But if he touches you I'll kill him. Mentions my father, I'll kill him. Looks at you or me the wrong way-"

"You'll kill him. I got it."

"Sooner or later you are going to realize that some people don't deserve to be saved."

"Sooner or later you are going to realize that everyone deserves a chance to be happy."

"Mm doubt it." He leaned down and kissed me on the top of my head.

I let out a small laugh and he smiled.

He helped me out of my dress and brought me pajamas to wear.

I put them on quickly and followed Tom into the bedroom.

We walked to my bed when suddenly he stopped in his tracks.

"When Ginny and Luna came in here with you..." he turned to face me. The smile he wore a few seconds ago now wiped clean from his face. "Did you?"

"Yes."
