Chapter 2
The Unheard Tears
It was a dark stormy night. A woman, carrying a baby, was walking into the forest. She found a nice tree. She placed the sleeping baby down on the root of the tree. The woman walked away with tears on her face. She turned back, and said some word to the son she would never see again.
"Good bye, Kevin Potter," said the woman.
The woman turned back and ran away. The baby woke up after the woman said Potter. It was dark and all he could see was shine of light. The baby did not cry, but just waited to see what was going to happen. The light got closer and closer. The light got longer, and then the light turned into a snake.
"Hello there young one," said the snake. "Oh yes, right, you can't talk. Well don't worry I'll take care of you. I'll teach you how to talk and walk. I'll be your best friend. But first I need to give you a name."
"How about, Tom Riddle?" said the snake.
Then the snake warped the baby and himself in front of a house. The snake then vanished. The house was an orphanage. The door opened and woman saw the poor baby on the floor.
"Oh dear lord! This poor baby." The woman took the baby inside.
Five years later
It was dark and Tom could see anything. Then he some flashes of light. Tom heard a woman screaming. The scream turned into a yell. Tom knew that voice that was screaming.
"Happy birthday Tom!" said Margret, the orphanage caretaker.
Tom rubbed his little green eyes. Tom was pale white with dark black hair. He only three feet tall and the youngest one in the entire orphanage, because of this, he got tease a lot. In the five years of Tom's life, he was always teased. Tom hardened and lost his personality. Despite the bullying, Tom was the smartest five-year-old in the world. But he always showed his dark side.
"Margret, tell me something. What is so happy about someone's birthday, if you are just getting one year closer to dying?" said Tom.
Margret was silent for a while.
"Well aren't you just a smart little one." Then Margret walked away.
Tom turned his head and looked out the window. Then Tom's only friend showed up at the window.
"Hello little one," said the snake.
"Hello Jason," Tom sighed.
"Well I can see that Margret did not appreciate your wisdom."
"I think I gave her a frighten. I should go apologize. "
"No, Tom. You shouldn't apologize. Striking fear into others is a good thing."
"But it seems rude."
"Look, haven't I always been the one who was by your side. I'm the only one you can talk to. You can trust me can't you?"
"Yes, but…"
"Listen to me, striking fear is the only way you can get power. Killing is the only way you can get control."
"Well it will be hard to get power when you are just a weak little boy."
"Tom close your eyes, I have to show you something," hissed Jason
Tom did as he was told. He closed his eyes and fell asleep again. He had the same dream he had a few minutes ago. He saw green sparks. From the smoke of the sparks, Jason formed.
"What is this?" asked Tom.
"This is your inner magic. You, Tom, are a wizard. You are not a little weak boy. You will become the greatest wizard in the world. You can have all the power in the world."
Tom was scared. All the power in the world! This seemed too much for a little boy.
"Am I the only wizard there is?" Tom asked.
"Yes, there is no other like you," the snake hissed.
Tom had thought of how wonderful life would be as a wizard. He would be able to destroy his biggest fear: death. Death was Tom's one and only fear. Sometimes he would go paranoid being around other people. He wasn't sure why, but he was always sure that he would die because of a human. But when he was around snakes, he felt like family. There was something that made him comfortable when he was around snakes.
But that all changed now. He felt something within him: power. He knew that he didn't have to worry anymore. He knew, that he could rule the world.
And that my friends, the beginning of this terrible story.
