Being the soulmate of the Dark Lord isn't all its cracked up the be, he's controlling, manipulative, and sometimes he's abusive.

By the next morning I was still debating whether or not I could kill literally anyone, whether I regretted it or not wasn't a factor at the moment, the only factor was if I even COULD!
I knew I wanted Mr. Wool to have some sort of consequences for what he'd done to Tom his entire life, the question I still had to answer was if he deserved to die.
As I laid there in my bed, continuing to stare up at the ceiling, I heard Tom yell from his bedroom.
"You shouldn't need to think about that question"
"Then do it yourself Tom! If you have a problem with me weighing the pros and cons of killing that man, then do it yourself!"
"I can't...."
"Why is that? You've never had an issue with killing people before."
"He'd recognize me for one, the other issue with that is that he wouldn't let me walk through the damned door!"
"Again, I'll THINK ABOUT IT!"
"Well then stop thinking about him, it's irritating me"
"Then get out of my head!"
I desperately needed a distraction, I was over thinking this. While it did involve possibly taking someone's life, I hadn't thought of anything else for almost 24 hours at this point.
"If you want something to do, figure out some sort of alternative name for me. I hate using my father's name and would prefer a different one, something people wouldn't associate with anyone else. Preferably something that could scare people."
"If you want to scare people, just look at them. Your eyes are terrifying! It's like looking into the pits of hell!"
"Just think of a name damn it!"
"If you insist"
I pulled out a quill and a notebook, and set to work.
I wrote down his name, and then started going through every possible name I could think of. Nothing sounded right.
Then I started putting 'I am' before everything and I eventually came up with one possible name that he could use, though it sounded ridiculous to me.
'I am Lord Voldemort'
I thought I was a complete idiot for even coming up with this name.
The name had French origins when you broke it down.
- Vol means flight - De means from - Mort means Death
Essentially, this name describes someone who deliberately avoids death.
I ripped the little piece of parchment off of my note book where I'd written the anagram and walked out into the living room, pushing it across the coffee table before walking into the kitchen to get a drink.
