"I love you. You can't leave me! I LOVE YOU!" He cried, reaching out to touch her, to stop her but to no avail.
She was about to pass on to another life.
Fear disappeared, replaced by curiosity, the desire to explore and start anew. She wanted it for a long time, but she couldn't leave her Tom. In the end she had no choice or her soul would be torn apart. Tom was a bad influence on everything around him even when he wanted to do something he thought was good, her soul was just another thing he destroyed - almost finished.
He was terrified but he couldn't seem to move to follow her wherever she went. Standing there in the middle of the vast bedroom whose only source of light was the lone candle on the desk - like the first night - his blue irises watched her receding form until she disappeared, leaving behind only sparkling dust and memories.
Tom fell to his knees silently as the world went up in flames.
"Please come back, I'm begging you, don't leave me here, please." He prayed silently, he didn't know to whom but he hoped that someone would answer. "Please." He said the word until it lost its meaning and became just… a word.
Every memory replayed before his eyes like a Muggle movie.
And now everything makes sense. Tom didn't destroy her soul, it was already destroyed, but then he was too in love, too infatuated to see who she was.
Oh who was she?
Just a stray ghost whose name he doesn't know.
She.
He allowed another tear to escape from his eye with a scream of irritation as he tossed the glass against the wall where she had long been standing - floating in the air.
What he realized after that night was that the last part of his soul had gone with her and he was ready to bring it back.
