-chapter 28

Victoria's ocean eyes was opened wide in fear and her heart was pumping so hard that it feels like her heart would come out from her chest anytime.

She couldn't think straight, her mind was full of scribbled words to say but her mouth sealed shut. Her body was frozen at the place and the only thing she could do at the moment was observed everyones confused eyes surrounds her.

"What are you doing here?" Tom asked, his voice was as cold as the wind of the night and his tongue was as sharp as a knife that anyone would be scared of

Victoria tried to process some words onto her head of hers but her body acted more faster than her brain.

Victoria raised her wand towards to Tom and casted the spell; "Stupefy!"

As those words escaped from her tongue, she flee right away.

Unfortunately, Tom easily blocked the spell and went after her.

"Crucio!" Tom shouted as he tried to catch Victoria

Victoria ducked from the spell. A smile tugged on her lips as she saw the entrance of Hogwarts but before she can even stepped into the Castle, an unbearable pain radiate into her whole body, sending her into the grounds. Her body was shaking uncontrollably as if she was being electrify.

She screams at the top of her lungs for help but it was no use cause Tom Riddle already casted the Silencing Spell into the surroundings.

Victoria stopped shaking as Tom put down his wand from her.

Victoria was facing the sky full of stars. Her cheeks started to get wet as her eyes poured the tears like a waterfalls that she has trying to stop earlier.

Tom ignored it as he pinned Victoria up into the nearby tree. Victoria tried to fight but it was no use. Her body didn't have enough energy to accomplish that so, she just let him be.

Tom untie the Slytherin Tie from his neck and used it to tied Victoria up into the tree.

As he was done tying Victoria up, he put his veiny hands into the girls neck, squeezing it tightly.

"Now, answer the question darling..." Tom hissed like a snake onto Victoria's left ear as he watched the poor girl cry her eyes out "Why are you here?"

"Nothing! I-I was lost!" Victoria cried out, still struggling

"Uhmm, i don't think so..." Tom hummed, "You see, you really need to stop tampering on my business. Unless, you wanted to join me?"

"Let me be your Master, Victoria Cygnus and We will accomplish greater things together..." Tom proposed in a eloquent way

"Never," Victoria replied sharply

This just made Tom more furious so he squeezed her neck more tightly "You foolish girl!" He spatted "You know about this at the whole time, didn't you?"

Victoria was busy trying to catch her breath but she can't help but to smirk mischievously at Tom.

As Tom saw the smirk into the blonde's lips, he already knew the answer.

Ofcourse, Tom thought

"Brilliant, Cygnus. Really Brilliant," Tom complimented as he choked Victoria even more making Victoria to make a gagging noise

"But not Brilliant enough to get caught..." Tom added

"Please..." Victoria pleaded, her voice was so weak that it was almost cannot be heard

"Shhh..." Tom shushed the girl, putting his index finger into Victoria's lips

The last thing Victoria saw before she passed out was Tom's emerald eyes, looking at her.
