-chapter 29

The four misfits sat down under the tree as the sun set down, painting a glorious view for the students. The colors of yellow and orange made an aesthetic scene that cause Gideon, Victoria and the Corpus Siblings to stared in awe.

Once again, Victoria haven't said a single word regarding to the events with Tom.

Ofcourse not, she did the unbreakable vow.

She have so much to do before she die. First was finding out the mysterious death of her mother, Second was escaping in Grindelwald's and his Dad's stringent grasp and the Last was, living a happy life.

As the sun goes down completely, Victoria sighed heavily and looked down to her hands and started playing with it.

Only Henry seems to notice how Stressed Victoria was but little did he know that it was more than Stressed.

Victoria was scared.

She was scared of the Future. Oh, how she wish that she would become a Seer. A powerful one, where in one crystal ball, she would know what would happen in the future. Sadly, she didn't have the power to propel what she wanted.

Victoria always daydream alot about the world being a problem free, where there is no war and hate, only love and peace.

Argh, Life!, Victoria complained in her head

There was she again, overthinking.

She really have to stop overthinking.

"I'm going to bed..." Victoria announced, standing up

"But it's too early!" Gideon interjected in which Victoria only shrugged as she straightened her skirt

"How about dinner? You wouldn't eat?" Henry frowned

Gideon was finally losing it but he's still trying to remain calm, he's determined to know what's wrong with Victoria, so in order to do this, he must try to understand Victoria's moody personality.

"Yeah! Dinner! Honestly woman, you've been acting weird! It's like you'v—"

Before Gideon can even finish his sentence Victoria cut him off

Victoria's eyes seems to become nefarious, as if she wasn't the one controlling her body.

"For Fuck's Sake! I'm bloody fine! Even though i'm not, it's none of your business! Quit putting your nose into someone business!" Victoria yelled, fuming

Victoria's head reddened and her ears looks like a boiling hot water because of it's smoke coming from it, cause by anger.

This time, Rhea stood up, trying to calm Victoria; "Look we're just—"

Once again, Victoria cut the sentence off; "I don't your help! None of you would understand because i— You know what? Nevermind, i have no time to vex with you all. Now, if you excuse me, i have to rest..."

And with that, Victoria left.

But before the blonde girl completely left, Henry noticed that the girl's once blue ocean eyes, turned into pitch black one.

Victoria stayed the next day in her bed, packing her things, since this the last day of her fifth year. She didn't showed up in breakfast.

She wanted to be alone.

And her friends just let her be.

Gideon think that Victoria just wanted space but still, he was worried. This is probably the first time Victoria eas distance with them and he was not used to this. He misses the old times; pranking everyone and not listening to a single word from their parents when they we're assigned into some kind of mission, created by Grindelwald.

It's the time where they we're young and happy.

But maybe, everything has endings.

And there are only two kinds of endings;

The happy ending and The sad ending.

Gideon wished that it wasn't a sad ending! He doesn't even wanted to end it yet!

They're just kids! They are only fifteens and sixteens! What on earth why would they deserve this?

Victoria and Gideon used to would everyone in the school at the last day of school. It being a tradition from them but maybe today was an exception.

Gideon can't prank without Victoria.

It's not that Gideon wasn't strong enough but rather, he felt lonely. He wanted to share the laugh with her. The happiness where they would see everyones reactions and they would laugh their asses out until they couldn't breath.

As the last day came by, Victoria had already pack up all her things, ready for her leave.

Victoria bid her farewell to them and headed straight up to train that was already whistling, surrounded by students of different houses, hugging each other and saying goodbyes.

Victoria didn't waste a time of trying to find the familiar faces of her friends cause she already know that they are already in the train.

Victoria stepped her foot to train only to be surprised by sea of students, trying to their friend or compartment.

She search for her friends but as tried to, she stumbled upon Tom.

Just her luck...

Tom gave her a menacing look while Victoria tried not to look into his emerald eyes and shrugged it off.

She tried to walked pass by but Tom blocked the way.

The train started to move, letting out a one last whistle.

Victoria pretend that Tom Riddle just didn't blocked her way in and once again tried to to walk pass by but again Tom blocked her way.

"Please excuse me..." Victoria pleaded, not looking at tom

"You must look into people eyes if you are asking something..." Tom replied with his menacing eyes, still blocking her way in

Victoria sighed heavily and forced herself to looked at the boy, "May i go in now?"

Tom only smirked, unblocking her way in.

Victoria sighed in relief and about to finally walk her way in when Tom suddenly caught Victoria's arm and lean towards to her ear.

"The proposal is still open if you wanted to join i'll be..." Tom whispered, not looking at girl, "Right here..." He finished the sentence, his cold voice seems to send shivers down to Victoria's spine

And with that, Tom slipped an unknown object into Victoria's hands and left.

Victoria furrowed her eyebrows, confused of what object does Tom gave her and as she looked at it, she saw a leather book. Almost like a diary. When she opened this up, she saw no writing in the book.

What is this?
