The Killing Curse!

Chapter 72-Surprise

Taehyung's PoV

Shocked was the only way to describe how I felt. The events of the last hour have scarred me. The screams of pain continued to echo in my mind. The single piece of comfort I have is that Regan and her friends escaped the manor however Bellatrix's knife followed them. I have no idea if it struck anyone.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked up to see Draco beside me. "Let go." He whispered. Bellatrix and Draco's parents frantically yelling at each other about what they were going to do and tell the Dark Lord. Draco and I walked out and up to his room, both not knowing what to do or say once the door shut behind us.

After a few minutes Draco, being the stronger one, told me to sit down before I fell down. I must have been whiter than paper for him to say that. I took hesitant steps to his sofa and sat down, now realising how wobbly my legs were.

"What do we do?" I asked Draco

"We.. We carry on like normal. We can't risk letting anyone know , especially now they know the girls' faces."

"Carry on? How.. How can I carry on being like this? Every person I have performed the cruciatus curse on has died! The only reason Regan is still breathing is because your Aunt threw one of her tantrums..." I ran my hands over my face wanting for this to be a horrible nightmare, but no it was all real.

"I know and I can't argue or reason with you. I think you should go home and rest"

Draco looked defeated and I asked if he was sure but he insisted he would be okay. With that I appareated back home.

It was almost nightfall and the house looked more drained of colour than usual. I felt like a zombie and I just know the second I see my mother I'm going to break. And that's exactly what I did. I entered the kitchen and my mother looked at me with a smile that quickly faded "what's wrong?" She asked and I broke. Tears ran rivers down my cheeks. I couldn't speak. My mother quickly grabbed my hand and took me down to the basement where there were no windows. She did this because if something happened then she knew I would be watched.

"Taehyung what's wrong? Are you crazy you can't break down like this in plain sight.. what's happened" she frantically asked knowing full well that I've been on the edge for months now. Every evil act I've committed has chipped away at me and now I feel like nothing but a few crumbs on the floor.

"Please Taehyung tell me so I can understand." She desperately tried to dry the tears with her shirt sleeves. Sitting me down on an old trunk and kneeling in front of me.

"I.. I saw her today mum..." I hiccup out trying so hard not to sob. Worry was written all over her face.

"And... what did you do?" she whispered.

I trembled as I looked her in the eyes ''I hurt her mum... I hurt her so badly. Her screams were so loud but Bellatrix wouldn't let me stop." I burst into tears, saying it out loud made it more real. My mother immediately pulled me into a hug trying to bring me some comfort. But the tears kept flowing.

"S-so is Regan...?" Stuttering her words.

"She escaped with her friends." I sat back "but it doesn't matter if she got away or not. I still hurt her. I still performed the cruciatus curse on her. I promised I'd never hurt her, ever ever ever. And look at me whaling like I'm not a monster."

"You are not a monster-" I yelled and cut her off completely

"Not a monster! I have murdered 16 innocent people. Tonight it almost became 17! I'm sick and tired of this life mum. I don't want to be like this anymore. And if death is the only option left I'll take it because I have lost everything!" Silence fell in the room. In my outburst I got up and smashed a large mirror. My shattered reflection looking back at me. "I'm not the boy she fell in love with anymore, she wouldn't want me if she knew the things I've done..."
