A Tom Riddle x Reader fanfic: Sometimes one decision in time can change history drastically, to the point where fate changes its mind and chooses someone else to take a heavy burden. So, what if instead of Lucius Malfoy giving Ginny Weasley a blank diary it was given to someone else instead. Someone more formidable for the dark lord. Someone that could possibly help aid his return or diminish him once and for all. Or maybe possibly change his view on what he wants. ✧----------------✧ "I told you I'd tear down this school to find you," she hears his footsteps get closer, "and look where you are, completely and utterly under my control," he stops in front of her as tears leak down Alanis's face, petrified of what will happen next. Tom crouches down in front of her, the girl then feeling his hand snake under her chin and lift it up. She looks into his face, one she had thought she'd grow to like but now only reminds her of the people he's killed and his true identity. "It's alright, you're not in trouble. All that matters now is that you're here with me," Alanis glares into his eyes, but all she sees staring back is a love-sick psychopathic killer. ✧----------------✧ ⚠️Mentions of: Stalking Possesvise/Obsessive behaviour Manipulation Murder SA Kidnapping - I do not own the artwork so thank you creator whoever you are for creating that glorious artwork 🙏🏻
