The Riddle's Descendant | Next Generation

22. (Marvolo)

So you may be confused why this chapter is now under Marvolo. Remember the last few chapters. 

Looks like our Ana isnt the same. Enjoy the chapter. 

(Italics are Ana's good side p.o.v.)

The train ride was tedious, the mudbloods wouldn't shut up about their holidays and asking me questions. It's already too hard to try to obtain her memories without letting her escape, but I can manage. This was no longer her body, and yet she still fought for it, but the more she fights, the faster she will die. Funny, what looking into a significant creature can do to someone. The mudblood keeps looking at my arms, little does she knows that's not where my creatures hide.

"Ana, you alright? You've been quiet all day" The second mudblood, Kilian, says as he slides a large piece of pie. I look down at it, not really sure if it was her favorite food or not.

"I'm sorry...I just feel like I need to rest" I lie, only through sleep will I be able to complete my first task...Kill the spare.

"You're not even eating pie, if you don't eat this, Clov is going to eat it all" He says again. I look at the mudblood, her mouth full, but she gives me a kind smile. I smile in return, unable to resist.

"So, Ana, are you and Lupin...you know, a thing now?" Clover asks, I feel my heart skip a beat, Anastasia's feelings were supposed to have been destroyed the night I was brought to life, and yet something about this particular boy seemed to linger in her...my heart.

"No..." I say sincerely.

"Oh. just thought asking you since you did put his last name in your last letter."

"I did?"

"Yeah, you did..." She says, this time more concerned.

"Oh, right...yeah. Look, I'm really tired, I think I'm going to bed..." I feel a sharp pain on my chest, making me gasp out loud. Clover looks at me, her eyes going wide in fear.

"Your eyes..." She says, her voice breaking. I blink a few times, then look at her again.

"What about them?" I ask innocently.

"nothing...I thought...for a second..." She continues to scan my eyes, as if trying to remember their original color.

"Goodnight" I smile and walk out towards the staircase. I listen closely, still able to hear her voice amongst the crowd.

"You didn't see it? I swear they changed colors. I'm not going insane. I know what I saw." I turn around, looking back at the mud-bloods. I need to be more careful.

"She saw me, not you" A voice says in my head, the sharp pain returning to my chest. How can her soul still be there, I think quietly, as I look at the large staircases.

"Lost, Little brown?" His voice makes me jump, my heart sinks, "Teddy" the voice inside says as it fades away.

"Teddy" I repeat, not really sure why. "No, I just...I was just" He laughs, running his hands through his turquoise hair.

"I didn't mean to frighten you. Come on, I'll take you to your dorm" He smiled, placing his arm around me. I cannot be dealing with these type of distractions... "I wanted to ask you something..." He says after a moment of silence. I keep my eyes down, avoiding his gaze.

"Okay" I say, waiting for his mysterious question.

"What happened that night at the manor?" He stops walking, I could feel his eyes on me, but I remain still, looking down.
