Lost in this Dark Eyes (Tom Riddle FF) By Nessi Moonlight

1 Violet: I don't belong to you

I walked through the halls of Riddle's Manor in the simple, long black dress that my mother gave me. I didn't know what exactly I should do here, after all she just brought me here without explaining to me what I should do here. It was cold and pretty lonely. After a long time I reached the room where all the people had waited for me. Everyone on the table looked at me, and this man, whose name was Tom Riddle, looked at me.

He grinned and said: "Welcome."
I bowed slightly out of politeness. "Thanks."

He raised an eyebrow and continued speaking to me. "Well, aren't you a pretty little thing? I remember you."
Well, this is a nice compliment, I think?
"You're right. But, when did we meet before? I don't remember."
His face softens slightly. "Oh, you must have been only.. about four or five. I didn't speak to you very much. If I remember correctly, you were pretty shy around me." Now, this is interesting. I don't remember that I have ever been shy around anyone. "Me shy? Around you?" I laugh. Tom chuckled too.

"Well, you didn't talk much around me, but you looked at me with those big, pretty eyes." He leaned back in his chair. When I think now about it.. it could be that there was really a man in my childhood whom I had admired.
"Well, it could be. But.. why am I here?"
He leaned forward again and smiled. "Oh, didn't your mother tell you? I've come up with a brilliant plan. And I need your presence for it."

Suddenly, I had a thousand questions in my head... that only he could answer. Because my mother probably didn't intend to do this. "My presence..for what?" He stared at me with no emotion, and then a grin appeared on his face. "To be my wife." I needed a moment to understand what he had said right now. "Why should I be your wife?" He stood up and walked toward me, his face now mere inches from mine.

"Oh my dear, I'm the most powerful wizard in the world, and you are... oh, so cute. Why would you possibly say no?" I looked at him incredulous. "Oh, maybe because you are too old for me? Aren't you like.. around the same age as my mother? He scoffed at me. "Oh, child, you know as well as I do that I am not merely human. I am beyond humanity. Besides, I have plenty of strength left in my body... and you are of childbearing age. But, let this discuss this further in my office. He took me with his right hand on my back and led me to his office.

He sat down in his chair and leaned back, waiting for me to react a proper way to what he had said two minutes ago. I now leaned further to him, resting my arms on his table and whispered in his ear: "Well, I refuse to be your wife." Then I leaned back. Tom's jaw tightened slightly. "Is that right? What if I were to tell you that you don't have a choice in whether you marry me or not?"

I stared seriously in his dark eyes. "Oh I would rather die than marry an old man. So, I have a choice. Now I want to tell you something. Never ever say to me again that I have no choice. I am Violet Lestrange, I always have one." After I sayed that I sat down on the chair that was opposite him. His eyes flashed dangerously while he looked at me, his face full of rage. "You little brat. Don't you dare call me old. You think it's that simple? You are mine now! Don't you know who I am?"

"Oh I know, an old man." I chuckled. "Don't you know who I am?"
He snorted. "Don't you dare call me that! Do you think that I don't know that you are one of Bellatrix Lestrange's spawn? You're nothing but a brat! But once we are married.. you are mine. Forever." I can't believe it! I looked at him with fire in my eyes, my body full of hate towards him.

" I am Bellatrix's adopted daughter. My mother is a very powerful wizard.  My biological parents are mister and misses Potter.. the two who you have killed. They were also very powerful. And just because of my mother, I am still alive. Because of my biological, but also my adoptive mother. I never met my brother. Because of you. So don't you dare to say something like that again." Tom blinked at me, his face once again contorted with a cold fury.
