It is September 1945. I am not sure of the specific date; I have not known for quite some time. I am somewhere in Albania, perhaps the small cabin my father used to bring me to. I cannot be sure. It looks different...and yet so familiar.
I don't know who will read this, but I need you to know. I fear I do not have much time.
My name is Nora Valance, and I made a stupid mistake. Trusting Tom Riddle has been my biggest regret. He is not who he says he is, you must know that. He is not to be trusted.
I met Tom in 1938. Why should I not trust him? Do not make me out to be a fool when you tell my tale. He knows what he is doing. My heart yearns to forget the events that just occurred, but I cannot. I know this.
Tom Riddle is not a good man. He has killed many. He has surely killed me –
