Summary: Once there was a time when the Dark Lord loved…
Once Loved
Under the moonlit night all that could be seen was the dark figure moving quietly across the dark lawn and into the cover of the large forest.
"Tom?" a soft voice whispered.
Tom Marvolo Riddle pushed the hood of his cloak from his head, his handsome face coming into view.
"Oh Tom!" something flew towards the young man, knocking into his hard chest. Slowly Tom's arms wrapped around, what happened to be a young woman.
"Shh," he whispered to the girl in his arms, now sobbing softly into his robes.
"I was so worried about you," she cried.
"Gwen, I'm fine," Tom whispered to her. Gwendolyn lifted her head and stared into the pools of emerald green, her big blue eyes searching his face.
"But-" her words were lost as his lips came crashing down on hers. On their own accord her arms wrapped around his neck. Tom's hands fisted in her long blonde hair, dragging her closer to his body
Finally they broke apart, gasping for air, their foreheads' pressing together.
"How long will it be until I see you again?" Gwen asked. Tom didn't answer, only held her tighter.
"Tom?" she questioned.
"I don't know Gwen, I don't know," he answered.
"Why are you doing this," she asked desperately.
"Gwen, don't," he said pushing away from her and turning around.
"Tom, this magic, it's so dark, I-" she broke off abruptly, staring at Tom who had turned around, his eyes glowing in fury. Gwen gasped and took step back.
"NOT YOU TO! Don't you dare do this now!" he yelled, grabbing her shoulders.
"Tom…"she said, shaking in fear. Her blue eyes widened at his anger. Slowly Tom's grip on her arms loosened, his green eyes softening. Gwen buried her head in his chest as Tom wrapped his arms around her holding her tight.
"I love you," she whispered. And as the words reached his ears, a single tear fell from Tom Riddle's emerald green eyes.
