Not About Angels (A Tom Riddle Story)

Chapter 84

"Tom Riddle left? Are you absolutely sure?" Cassie asked Penny. Penny nodded. 

"I saw him leaving with Evan Rosier in the morning. I heard he already dropped out." 

Cassie breathed a sigh of relief. Without the fear of him hanging over her, she could finally move her plans forward without worry. 

"What are you thinking?" Penny asked. Lately, even she could not tell what Cassie was up to. What she thought before was petty revenge has spiraled far out of her control.  

Cassie smiled. "Life is good, Penny. Life is really good right now."  

As she walked away, her dark heart was filled with hope, as now, she could proceed without limitations. 

...........................

As Abigail sat in her dorm, she felt dizzy. It was quite normal, of course, to feel dizzy and nauseous at times with her pregnancy...but her head pounded, only getting worse and worse. 

She lied down on her bed, but only felt weaker and weaker. She could barely move her arms. 

The door opened, and before she could realize who it was, she felt the world spin and turn to black in front of her eyes. 

They carried her off to the rooftop, where the men were waiting for her.  

Unconscious, she had no idea what was waiting for her...

Cassie had convinced Gabriel to utilize some of his resources to arrange a ride to St. Mungos....

....................... 

As she woke up, the entire world was spinning in and out of focus. She could hear mumbles from around her, and the metallic clinging of heavy equipment.  

Her memory was still foggy, all she remembers was sitting in her room, then feeling dizziness fell on her.... 

She tried to move her arms but found that they were tied down to the side of the bed. As groggy as she felt, panic began to creep into her mind. She struggled again, but the buckles on her arms were still as secure as ever. She opened her eyes fully, and saw a nurse preparing a red potion on the counter. 

"W-where the hell am I?" She asked, still struggling with the buckles. The nurse did not respond. 

"Hello? I know you can hear me! What are you doing?" She yelled kicking her feet but still unable to move. 

Something was very, very wrong. The air smelled too clean, too pristine, too artificial.  

The door opened, and two familiar faces looked back at her. Cassie and Gabriel.  

"Please....tell me what's going on, Gabe." She begged, but saw that his eyes were not looking at her.  

Cassie smiled. 

"Is this room familiar, Abigail?" Cassie asked. 

"N-No...why? What is happening, Cass? Why am I tied down?"

"Don't you fucking "Cass" me. You know why you're here." Cassie said, her eyes hard. She had experienced the horror of this room a year ago...and she was determined to make Abigail feel its wrath too.  

Abigail suddenly understood what she was talking about. 

"No!" She screamed. "Please...."

Cassie laughs. Gabriel squirms. 

"Don't look at him, Abigail. He won't help you now. Would you, darling?" Cassie asked, adoringly looking at Gabriel. He stared at her for a moment, then shook his head.
