Ramona Riddle - Dark Lord's daughter (On Hold)

Playing with fire - Part 3

CHAPTER 62

''Hello Fred,'' I weakly said.

Hello Fred, I just cheated up with my life. With our relationship. With my friendship with Raveenna and all of you. Actually I'm working on a plan how to kill you with my Father, lovely right? Oh, and by the way, don't hate me, I was forced to do this.

I certainly couldn't say this. But, anyway, he will find out what I've done.

Fred gave me a weird look, looking around the room. I could see how his chocolate brown eyes stopped on my fireplace, on the green dust on the floor, on the puddle of tears next to me, on my shaking body that was lying on the floor and than slowly, they stopped on me.

He was examing my face, trying to figure out what happened without asking me. I tryed to look straight in his eyes, to remeber every detail of his face because in some minutes he'll be gone. He'll be gone forever.

The only thing that gave sense to my miserable life were my friends and him. And now they'll leave me alone, alone with the cruel future, alone with me and all my mistakes and all my disgusting life.

''Where is Raveenna?'' Fred asked. I winced. His voice was sounding...different. A bit worried, yes, but also cautious. As he knew waht happened and that made me feel even worse.

''She...she's gone.'' My voice was shaking and I broke in tears.

Fred didn't hesitate. If before he was cautious he forgot about this now; he leant closer to me, sitting on the floor next to my trambling body and hugging me strongly, caressing my head as if I was his kitten.

Kitten...kitten...Rajani.

I winced, moving away from his strong chest. ''Rajani!'' I exclaimed, shocked, angry. How could I forgot about her?! She's my baby! Oh gosh, what a mother am I?! My little cat! Fred stared at me, caressing again my long, raven hair. ''Sssh, it's ok. She's safetly at Hogwarts, I checked out before coming here,'' he whispered in my ear, kissing my forehead. I sobbed, rubbing my cheek at his chest, feeling a bit better. ''But I don't want her to be at Hogwarts. I want her to be here, with me. She's the only one I have.'' I whispered the last sentance in Fred's brown shirt, whipping away my tears.

Fred seemed shocked about my words. ''What are you talking about, Ram? You have me.''

''And me,'' Morrison added and I winced, giving him a quick look. I've totaly forgot about my twin.

I sighed, moving away from Fred's strong, so well known chest. Let's finish this. Earlier I say what I have too, earlier everything will end. The pain. The disappointment. And my joy. But life isn't a fairytale. Life is the cruel reality. Happiness never lasts, everything good ends.

I looked at my love. ''No Fred. I have just her. You all will hate me after some moments,'' I sighed, moving away the wet hair from my face. Fred looked even more shocked than before. He grabbed my hand, squeezing it and giving me a determined look. ''I could never hate you. I love you! Ram, what's going on? Is this related to Raveenna?'' he asked, staring right in my red eyes and I felt sick.

Morrison stepped towards us, sitting on my bed. Laurel sat on his knees, staring at me with her peircing blue eyes. ''Twin?'' Morrison murmured and I could feel his confusion and surprise.

Ok, let's end the fairytale. Reality, I'm coming!

I took a deep breath. Then, with all my forces, I looked in Fred's eyes and my face was completely emotionless when I said:

''I betrayed you.''

CHAPTER 63

''You...you what?'' Fred's voice was shaking and so was his hand with which he was still squeezing mine. I looked down at our twisted palms. His hands were trambling and I could hear his racing heart.

I sighed, caressing his hand with my finger. Then I looked back at him, remebering Fahter's words from when I was five:

''Always look in your enemy's eyes. Always face the death with a smile.''

It was funny, the fact that I remebered this words in a situation like this. I mean, I'm not facing death. And Fred is not my enemy. ... ... ... well, I hope so.

''You heard correct. I betrayed you all. You. Morrison. Raveenna, Harry, Ron, Hermione, all of my friends. And I'll pay the consequences. Actually, I'm already paying them,'' I added, sighing again. The room was filled with silence, when I pronunced this words and I closed my eyes, focosing on the present. On on the past. Not even on the future. Just present. Me in this room, squeezing Fred's warm hands.

Morriso's voice brought me back to reality. ''Ramona, this doesn't make sense. What did you do?!'' he asked, his voice strict and surprised and this made me sigh. I opened my eyes and I looked a tmy twin. His emerald eyes were full of worry and surprise, but I also caught a light of confusion, his black hair was a mess and this really wasn't something that happened every days and his eyebrows were frowned.

My eyes stopped on his green eyes, the only thing that reminded me of our dead mother. Then I took another deep breath.

''I played with fire. And I got burned. Actually what's sitting here isn't Ramona Riddle, this is just a baked potatoe.'' Also in situations like this I was amazed by my awesomness. And I don't care if maybe 'awesomness' isn't a real word. I like it, live with it.

Fred growled in frustration. He shook a bit my shoulder, making me look in his eyes. ''Ram, what did you do, esactly?!'' he asked, stressed and I sighed. ''Isn't obvious? I'm still on my Father's side. It was all made up. He told me what to do and I did so. But I never really wanted to do it. I was forced. Well, not really. The sad fact is that I said yes when he asked if I want to build a new empire with him. I was enchanted just by the sound of the words 'father and daughter together'. And I had no idea that this will end like...this. I never wanted to kill you and I won't allow him to kill you. I love you all so much,'' I finished with a silent murmure.

The silence in the room was so intense that I could hear my little tear that ran down my cheek and fell on the cold floor.

When it touched the floor, it formed a mini puddle and I looked at it.

It was of a silver color and its simplicity enchanted me. After all, it was just a circle of water.

Water...my element.

I sighed silently, still staring at the small tear on the floor. It was getting smaller and it halved. In the moon's light it looked like a small pieve of broken glass. I sighed again, closing my eyes for the millionth time.

Broken, the tear was broken in half. Broken as I right now. I was broken on half: the half that loved and wanted to help my friends and the half that loved and would do anything for my Father. But it's not just me who's broken. Also my heart it is. And a broken heart is even worse. I just need...time. Time and love, to fix the halved me.

And maybe some cookies.
