Evil in Riddles {Tom Riddle} (Wattys 2018)

20|| 'Your Lady'

Selena grasped her necklace, it's emerald pendant shining. She could feel it's relaxing presence, proving it to be a Horcrux.

Yes, it's her first Horcrux. And she has two, actually, the second being her diadem.

She found it by a book in the room deeply hidden in the Chamber of Secrets, a room not even Tom Riddle knows.

She smirked, as she wore her necklace, and went to the Great Hall for Breakfast.

Tom Riddle glanced at a certain brown haired girl at the Great Hall, eating silently.

He was interested in her, that's what. She was too smart for her own good, much too relying on the books. A bit of a know-it-all, some says.

But, he also observed that her attitude is much of a Ravenclaw, but there is a bit of a, Gryffindor in there.

He still doesn't know her heritage, and asked Malfoy about it. Turns out her surname is not a Pureblood surname.

Probably a Mudblood, no doubt he thought, as he was observing her every move.

Hermione, though, noticed Tom's constant staring, and she was freaking out.

He couldn't possibly know she thought. Not now, nor never.

She glanced at him again, and he was still staring at her. She sighed and glanced at Selena, who seemed to be amused.

Damn, I had to change two people, a crazy Dark Lord and an extremely smart Dark Lady. Great, just great she thought once again, this time in frustration.

Meanwhile, Selena kept reading her thoughts, secretly smirking.

Hmm, looks like I'll be continuing the plan then she thought.

Hermione looked at Selena with wide eyes, recognizing the look on her face.

When Selena Slytherin's plotting something, poor Hermione Granger will surely be doomed.

Calissa Black watched the three, sighing.

Selena, or should she say, Serena, still has control over her. Forcing her to be Evil. But, the call of Good deep in her mind is still there, waiting to be noticed.

She took out the note Serena left that night, fiddling with her fingers, as she read it again.

Calissa,

I know Estella will give you this when you wake up, and I hope you do get this.

I have a few things to say. Don't you even dare tell anyone, especially Dumbledore, about what happened.

If you did try to do it, just watch out for the immense pain.

You are still under my control, and you shall not do anything that I wouldn't want you to do, unless you want to meet Death, it could be arranged.

Your Lady

Calissa sighed, yet again. What she said was true. She did try to go to Dumbledore about this, but only felt pain, the kind that you'd wish for Death immedietly.

She tried to go to Estella, but she only ignored her, still feeling the jealousy of still being in the Black Family.

If only Calissa knew that Estella will do everything she can to take back her place in the Black Family.

And that includes a certain twin sister, and some Polyjuice Potion.
