Salazar's POV
A thirty year old looking man, with icy blue eyes, long black hair and a defined expression who stood at 6'8, sat in the middle of a living room in his favorite armchair, this man was me. My heir was not far from me, standing by the window, looking outside, he didn't have his glamour on, making him look like an eighteen year old.
Tuomas had passed his first ten years as a vampire this month and not even once had anything bad had happen.
Tuomas had learned everything he needed to learn and not even once had he fought against me because he wanted wizards' blood or something along those lines, which was a thing I hadn't expect as wizards' blood calls to us.
Everything was calm, like the calm before a storm.
"Father?"
Oh how I love when he calls me that, we might have had a fight over love fifteen years ago, but Tom still looked up to me and he still… I can't say love, but maybe 'likes me'. "Yes Tuomas?"
"There is a man entering our house."
I stood immediately. Tuomas looked at me, admiringly.
In the door appeared a 5'2 man, with brown hair and red eyes. He looked at Tuomas admiringly and then at me and grinned.
"Sally!" he said opening his arms, waiting to be hugged. I didn't move, staying put and looked at my sire. The vampire huffed. "I see that you haven't changed at all. Who's the kind(child)?"
"Leave!"
The vampire laughed. The snake on his neck slithered to the floor and approached Nagini, trying to win her over. He approached and looked at Tuomas and then at me. "He looks like you Sally. Could he be the erfgenaam(heir) of Druella? Or did you finally move on from Esteri and got a new wife? If you want I know a few ones that wouldn't mind…" next moment the vampire was against the wall with me pressing him against it. The vampire laughed. "Always Esteri, juist(I see)…" Next moment was me being pressed with the smaller talking in my ear. "Jouw liefde(your love) for humans is what make you weak."
I turned my head away, avoiding the smaller. I hated this vampire with a passion, but I also knew that I couldn't fight him, even if I tried, I wouldn't win.
"Leave him!" Tuomas, the fool, said.
Sire took his face from my ear and looked at him. "Who are you jongen(boy)?"
Tuomas looked at me, I shook my head and my sire pushed me harder against the wall, breaking my ribs and making me gasp.
"Sally, either you tell me who he is, or he tells me who he is. Your choice."
"You can hurt me, Abraham, but stay away from my life and my son."
Tuomas head immediately snapped to me, his face was inexpressive, but I could see the curiosity in his eyes. I rarely called him son anymore. I expected a punch, my sire hated that name with a passion, but he also called me Sally and I hated it so… it would be worth it.
He merely laughed, shaking his head. "Sally, Sally, Sally… do you really still believe that you can fight me? I mean, mijn kind(my child), Ik ben jouw maker(I'm your sire), your better and accordingly to the vampire guide you have to follow me."
I did the only thing that I swore to never do, I spit in sire's face, receiving a punch for that. I could see that Tuomas was fighting to not help me but at the same time he was wary as he had never seen me losing a battle, especially not to someone so small.
My sire looked at Tuomas. "Son, you said Sally? So I suppose that your name is Tuomas." The two of us stiffened and he grinned. "You are so predictable, Sally. So Tuomas, what is your true name, before the adoption?"
Tuomas looked at me. Sire huffed.
"So you are one more human lover. One more that has no life. One that does everything that humans told them. You don't live. You are just like Sally. You only exist, kind(child)."
"Abraham that is enough."
Sire looked at me, sneering. "Stilte! Als jij je leven wilt laten regeren door je eten moet jij dat weten. Maar...(Be quiet. If you want to let your life be rolled and commanded by your food, so let it be. But)" he looked at Tuomas, hopeful. "You don't need to deprive yourself of life. You can live, not only exist. There is a full world where you can do what you want. You don't have to live by the human rules. They don't care about you. They only care about themselves. They should fear us and not tell us what to do. The humans are a horrible race."
"Tuomas… don't…" I tried.
"Oh yes, Tommy bear, do what you Sire tell you. Do what the vampire, who sold his soul to a human and lost everything, tells you what to do. After all, it's not like he does what I tell him to do, and I am his sire, aren't I?"
I became tense. I knew that sire had my Tuomas in his hands. Sire would give him everything and then take it away.
"What is your name, Tommy bear?"
"My name is Tom Marvolo Riddle."
I felt stabbed in the heart. Sire looked at me, grinning evilly. Next second the two and the snake had disappear, leaving me and Nagini behind.

July 1959
Five years.
It had been five year since Tuomas had left me and Nagini behind. At first Nagini had entered in a hibernation stage, but eventually she had needed to wake up to eat.
I was used to being alone. I had been alone for a thousand of years. But since I adopted Tuomas I hadn't been alone, I was too used to his constant company and letters. Those five years had been hell. At least I had Nagini to keep me company.
I miss you, my son.
…
Suddenly, after five years, a smell appeared, a smell that I had become addicted too in the last three decades.
I sat by my desk and looked to the door. Someone knocked.
"Enter Tom."
Tuomas entered and stood before the desk. He smelled like magic, magical blood to be exact, and there was a lot of blood on his clothes and in his hair. His hair was also longer and looked like it hadn't seen a brush in long time. His clothes were also the same as he had worn the day he had left.
"May I come back, my lord?"
I looked at Tuomas, he looked like he had been fighting, his face blank and he looked dead inside.
"You may Tom."
"Tuomas… I prefer Tuomas, my lord."
I merely nodded in acknowledgment to the request, his face blank, but I was smiling inside. I stood and in an instant I'd bitten Tuomas' neck. My Tuomas. My Tom. My heir. My child. My son.
Finally I stopped drinking all of my son blood, leaving him dry, and grabbed a glass with muggle blood, giving it to my son.
"Drink, take a bath, burn those clothes, cut your hair and sent a letter to Hogwarts saying that you have come back from you travel around the world."
"Yes father." He drank and left.
I smiled sadly. My son was finally back, but at what extend? What had my sire done to my son?
I sighed, I knew better than to ask. There are some things that need to be kept forgotten.
Outside the room I could hear Nagini passing by as fast as she could, going to Tuomas' chambers. –He is going to hear it, how does he dare to leave without saying a word and now return as if nothing has happened? When I'll find you, master, I'm going to kill you, then I'll embrace you with my coils and make sure that you will never leave me again.–
So here it is
This is the Salazar version, I'm thinking on making one in Tom's POV, what do you think? and please when you haven't yet, go read Coppery Temptation
