Dreaming of Daddy
Chapter 1
After finding the hidden room I so desperately needed, I spent more time there then in my Common room or even in class. It was large, with a Persian rug and hard wood floors, more then ten thousand novels and short stories, most in their first printing. The chandelier brought me a dim light only because my eyes, even as a vampire, are bad; of course that may just be my imagination, I'm not sure. I had the smell of light lilacs everywhere in my room. A small sofa bed was tucked away in a corner with a light that changed to a very appealing colour and only if you wanted it to. The tables were usually covered with homework or books I wanted to read or were reading. Within one week I read maybe three, five hundred pagers. That's nothing compared to summer when I sit in my room and do nothing, in the summer each week. At least, five are read- by me easily. The least I ever do is three… the most was ten, but only happened once. Beating that record feels like it's gonna take me forever and still trying to beat it during my twelve-week vacation. Anyway my personal library has fiction, nonfic, and short stories as I already said. Notebooks by Shakespeare, DaVinci, Thomas Edison, so pretty much famous people throughout the history of Europe and North America, not including Mexico. In another corner is a glass table where I do my homework but that's boring to read and talk about…. My main couch is where I often fall asleep, a tray of food is usually brought up by the kitchen workers (house-elves) because a few are my greatest companions and they take care of me really well. I love them all for that. As a demon I don't eat and they should know that by now, so out of respect- I nibble.
My mother passed away just a week after I was born, contusions and bled out I guess; I figured that she just bled into her liver and no one really gave a damn. My father is a menace and he's brutal (you'll meet him later, I promise, hence the title of this first chapter.) I have no brothers from my mother or father so I'm alone in the blood related sense, but as a vampire I have hundreds of Blood Sisters and Brothers, and one mother. Fala. I was killed a week after my seventeenth birthday and left to die the same night… I went home to find I couldn't even get in without an invitation but sense it was my own house it shouldn't have mattered, I then remembered the WELCOME mat. I wrote 'come on in' and I went into my house. I opened the door and was right away ambushed by my father, Tom Riddle; he attacked me, knocked me unconscious and tested to see if I was a vampire or not; he had his suspicions when he saw me write myself into my own house.
It was during the time when the Marauders were and I was in our seventh year when my father placed my own memories into their heads while they slept. One night when they did they dreamed about me being attacked by my new Blood Brothers.
James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and Remus Lupin spent their third night at school for their final year in a daze, they didn't realize until later that they were in something unlike a dream; it couldn't be true they concluded. Resa D'onne Riddell being Lord Voldemort's heir and daughter? Yea right! James and his three friends fell asleep and opened their eyes soon afterward in a world called the Riddle House. My father wore a hooded cloak and I was hiding deep, in my chair, he was holding me there captive while he tried to find a way to use my vampric ways against myself. His face was darkened since the lit fireplace was the light given to us. James, Remus, Sirius, and Peter all heard his laugh but had no idea it was him who laughed. It only made them each think it was something or someone poisonous.
Bad part is that they're right. At that time my father was like poison.
I hid in my king like chair reading in the dark with my newly acquired eyes and I listened for sounds of people- Death Eaters- to approach. Out in the hall the ghost and invisible, Marauders stood there waiting, all looked at James. James glanced at Sirius periodically to see what his expression held for him. When I sensed someone coming, I became one hundred percent coward and cringed as the door burst open. The four human boys listened and walked closer knowing something was bound to happen in their anger. The leader, the second oldest vampire in the world spoke first.
"We've come for her, human, hand it over to us now." He expected Voldemort to hand me over like a rag doll to a child in the street sobbing for it back…
Voldemort instead smiled under his cloak and shook his head, keeping his face toward them; away from me. He may be evil, but even that night I had my suspicions if he actually loved me as his daughter and not the way to unbelievable power.
He chuckled, "What is it that you want?"
"Gwin." Was all his answer would hold for now. Fala, my mother renamed me that and told these four other Dark Lines to come and get me I assumed. James peeked inside; he jumped when and went wide-eyed when he saw Voldemort remove his hood. The four vampires stepped back. His face was as pale as theirs; he used to be actually quite charming and handsome- not anymore since the magical spells took over his appearance. His robes were always thin and moved even when someone blew air from their mouth at a five-foot distance. He was thinner from when he looking normal and not like a serpent. He had a slightly slit tongue and no nose, even then. He would stride instead of walk and had a male posture to when he spoke; he never spoke with love to me and probably never to my mother either. When he was calm, his voice was soothing and actually-honestly- very appealing and pretty; I loved it when he spoke softly to me to or to anyone really.
He went over to the chair as if to hide me from view, I moved behind him and marked my page with the book cover and waited for him to hand me over. "I don't know any Gwin," he said finally after almost two minutes. I smiled suddenly and frowned when I realized I was grinning about my father helping me.
A low roar told me that all four were growling in there throats. I cringed and he looked down at me.
Please, I mouthed. He said and did nothing to make it known he understood or even would help me. I was his daughter, but he did and doesn't care THAT much.
He turned to face their leader, "Are you a vampire?"
He must have nodded, "Yes I am, you human or a demon? If human… well, we're hungry." I recognized Arubey's drawl. I begged with my Gods that Voldemort would kill them for me.
Tom Riddle, instead, laughed. "If you think you can kill me, then come at me and try too." He said, just then the four pelted at him at once, he held up his hands and created a shield. The four were thrown backwards; I risked a look and saw the four tangled together. James and his friends were laughing and pointing.
Then the mistake was made when Voldemort used his magic and threw one over by me without realizing it. He stared at me and then realized who I was and grabbed me by the arm and threw me over to the others. "I found Gwin!" he cried happily. I gasped when I saw the pleasure in Arubey's face when he saw me.
"No, no, no, no, no." I repeated in a solid whisper as he picked me up and held me with his arm around my neck. I tried to pull it down, but he was too strong for me. Nickolas and Christopher grinned at each other. Edam came back and ran his finger down my cheek…Sirius came around to see who Arubey was holding. He gasped and yelled for me to be let go. James told him to quiet, that they were only dreaming. Sirius tried to touch my belly, but his hand went right through as if he was an invisible ghost whom couldn't be heard or seen. He stared at his hand until Arubey tightened his grip and I gasped slightly. "Arubey," I cried. "You're hurting me," I looked at my father.
"Quiet," he ordered in my ear, I turned my head so his mouth wasn't so close to my ear. "Hold out your wrists to Nickolas like a good child."
"Don't call me a child," I whispered; he only laughed at me and my poor survival skills.
Nevertheless Nickolas took my arms and Edam tied them together, I turned my face toward Arubey more when the rope dug into my skin. He grinned in a way that was made unclear for me.
My head turned back to my father, "Dad, please don't let them do this. I'm your daughter," I cried. My voice was raspy and thin.
The eight other men in the room stared at me then to Voldemort, Sirius stepped away and Arubey pushed me towards my dad. Voldemort pushed me back into the chair I had been hiding in, he pointed his wand at the rope and they broke off. The four wizards could be grateful they were dreaming; the vampire hoped I would keep my form and looks. Even though they were sent to kill me that night, vampires are still very sexual. I stood up beside my father; I was stared at for the first time by Arubey with the kind of care that made a man horny when he saw a girl in a bikini top and bottoms. I hated being looked at like that. Unlike my father I wore tighter clothes; my pants were leggings that only went just above the ankle and my shirt was black and hugged my form showing off my thinness and chest. I was regretting even considering about putting it on. I had an hourglass figure, Lucius told me, he said that I would dazzle. I had hit him, that's why I was afraid he'd be back tonight yet, to come back and hurt me. Voldemort had seen and heard that entire thing; he only laughed and told Malfoy to go home. Also, after being turned, I changed my hair length by cutting it just below my shoulders. It was change but I like change for me, it soothed me to realize I was different then everybody else.
Right now I hated that feeling, being different. Right then when Arubey looked at me as if he wanted me for himself for an hour, I glanced away from him and stepped behind my father.
"Hiding behind daddy?" Edam mocked, I said nothing.
"He's my father; he can either take the trust and use it against me… or help me." I told him.
Arubey stepped forward; involuntarily I took a step back even further. "We just want to kill her, it won't hurt and I'll make sure she dies as hero." He promised both of us.
Tom took a stride forward; I love how he walked as well. "Get out of my house, Jaylyn go to your room."
"Not with them by the doorway," I snapped so suddenly he turned to me. I bowed my head ashamed, he was helping me for the first time in my life and I was being mean.
"Why do want my heir dead?" he asked turning to face Nickolas. He wanted the answer to come from him and him alone.
He took a deep breath, "Because she didn't come home after being called to come. We all waited for hours, Fala sent us here to kill her for betraying us."
"I didn't betray you, I just ignored you." I corrected him, he growled at me, I gasped and was told to go to my room by Voldemort again. I couldn't move. I felt paralyzed with fear by the fact of just going near them again.
But suddenly I felt my feet making me leave my protective spot by my father and I went around. When Arubey made a joking move towards me, I yelled and hurried from the room. I heard him laughing loud enough for me to hear. I went back at as he turned I hit him hard enough he fell backwards into Edam.
The vampire in me took over so suddenly I couldn't react to it. Tom smiled at me and waited. That made the Marauders realize they were dreaming. Nickolas came at me from behind and I turned and kicked him in the abdomen.
"You aren't supposed to fight back!" Nickolas screamed at me.
"Things change," I muttered and hit Edam as he and Arubey came at me at the same time; then I grabbed Edam and shoved him into Arubey. I grabbed Nickolas when he came back and threw him into the fireplace. "Burn baby burn." I whispered. Sirius looked at me.
"You're dead now," Arubey muttered as Nickolas rolled from the fireplace and Christopher sprinted across the room to help him. I dropped and kicked his feet out from under him and he fell sideways and put his hands out in time to catch him as he fell to the ground. He grunted and I was stupid and stood too close, he grabbed my ankles and I yelped as he pulled them out from under me. Voldemort was done helping me, I realized as Arubey went to choke the life, I never had, out of me.
Something bubbled in me and I suddenly hit him hard enough to bust open his upper lip; it healed within seconds. He came back to me as I went to get up but I kicked him; breaking two toes and deeply hurting two more. He growled at me.
"You're not supposed to fight back!" he yelled.
"Things change," I yelled back at him. He closed his mouth as I kneed him in the jaw. Edam came at me suddenly, so quick I did the only thing I could do: I jumped and wrapped my knees to his temple and we fell back as I used all the strength I had to force him over me. He hit a wall and I gasped as I landed on my own head; I stood up in a sudden daze. Arubey picked me up and threw me toward the fireplace; he was going to burn me alive.
James and Remus gasped when I twisted out of his hands and I saw him begin to throw me, but realized I wasn't there. They gasped when I sprinted and left the house by crashing through the window.
"We'll kill you sooner or later!" Arubey yelled when he got to the window.
Voldemort chuckled, "Jaylyn may be weak, but my daughter is smarter then you think." He said as the dream slash memory dissolved. I remember thinking that I hated it when he called me Jaylyn; that's my Great-grandmother's name.
Silence… was all they could muster when the Marauders woke at day break; they dreamed I was a vampire and also Voldemort's child. Both were terrifyingly accurate and scary to even consider as true. But they are. James looked at Sirius and Sirius glanced over to Remus and Peter; the fifth seventh year on the Dormitory was asleep and dreaming of making out with his ex-girlfriends all at the same time. The vampire name rang in their ears wearily as they dressed in complete silence for breakfast.
Down in my, well… Common Room, I sprang up from my usual nightmare. I dream only about the night I had died now, since my kind isn't supposed to dream. I sleep in the Common Room because the other girls complained to me about waking them up for the last few mornings at the crack of dawn. I tried to make them happy this morning by sleeping down in the Common, away from them. I raced upstairs to my Dorm Room and dressed out of my pajamas and got into my robes and went to breakfast. I growled when I realized I had forgotten my book-bag, I decided to double back right and grab it.
I entered the Great Hall and saw the four boys sitting silently together; I frowned, not knowing what their minds showed them last night. They were always jumpy, squirmy, and well… not quiet. Lily caught my eye but I looked away as I went to go sit next to Eddy and Severus and Travis. The three boys in my life. Edryk 'Eddy' Kullin and I have been friends since were young, we started school together when we were eleven. He promised he loved me like a sister, but when we got older and the hormones started acting up, things changed. He tried to get me to love him back and we stopped being friends for a few months, during that time I dated Sirius Black. He didn't talk me to until we were in out sixth year after Sirius and I broke up after almost a full year. I was foolish and arrived on his doorstep the one night his parents were out and he got me to follow him to bed with him. I was drunk with grief and I broke up with Sirius! Eddy said I was the only good thing in his life and said he wanted to have my children. I made him frown when I said I didn't want kids; truth is, I'm terrible with kids and I didn't want Voldemort's blood reining on. Edryk kissed me and moved his mouth down to my neck and kissed me there positioning himself on me again…. I had slept with Sirius, of course but Eddy was… a god. Eddy was unique by the fact that he wanted It to almost kill you: with the heart racing and blood pumping. It had taken me only minutes to get used to his fastness. By morning, I remember, I was exhausted and could barely move.
Anyway, enough about my personal sex life…. I sat between Severus and Travis (I hadn't slept with Severus, but I do kiss him on the cheek when I feel up to it. Travis Gage and I only dated for a few months in our fourth year). I realized that they were acting the same way as the four Gryffindor boys; I groan and ask what's wrong with them. They shake their heads and say nothing. I didn't know it at the time, but my three guy-friends had also been given that dream.
Eddy was on the other side of us, I looked up at him. He sighed and said, "We had the same dream last night. It… it was bad Resa."
I frowned; I hated seeing my three best friends so sad about some stupid dream. "It isn't real," I told them finally. "Dreams are just images in your head, kind of like movies that usually replay what happened that day." I told them, I take Travis's hand in my left and Severus's in my right. "You three are worrying me to high heaven, now stop acting like someone died and have breakfast." I said getting up.
"What do you think you're doing Resa D'onne Riddell?" Edryk asked me.
I frowned again; I was going to my room- my personal library. They didn't know about that exactly and I didn't want them too. "I am going to the library, then to class, another class, and another. lunch and finish off my day with a few more classes. A long break and finally dinner, then bed." I told him quickly but Travis Gage took my shirt in his tight fist. I stopped and stared at him, "What?"
"Eat breakfast first, okay." I sighed and bit my lip slightly.
I lied, "I, er, already ate."
He could see right through me, "No you didn't." he took my hand and pressed a piece of cinnamon toast into my palm. I folded it up and looked at them, all three were watching me.
"Oh this is ridiculous," I snapped, I inherited my short circuit from Tom Riddle, my father.
Severus shook his head, "No it isn't, eat something-."
I ripped it in half and plucked one half into my mouth. I loved cinnamon as a human and still would if vampires could eat human food. I covered my mouth with my hand; they knew I hated it when people watched me eat. They didn't stop me which I thought they would and I finally finished the spell and the food had gone from my mouth. I had used my advantage of hand-covering to hide it from them as I said a spell. I tossed the other to Eddy and he caught it with one hand and plopped it back onto his plate, I sat back down again. My spine was against the table, I didn't want to look at them for some reason. I glanced up at the Professors' table, McGonagall was talking with Dumbledore; she made him chuckle. I smiled at that and turned to look ahead at the windows, I could see students talking as they passed the windows. I saw Sirius, James, Remus, and Peter still quiet as the dead- well the dead and buried anyway. I turned to quick to the doors, I groaned as the dizziness occurred to quick for my liking.
Travis asked me if I was alright and what had happened, I said I turned to quick and got a little light headed. I kept my fingers to my temple and whispered quietly. I got up without even realizing it and hurried from the Great Hall. Being odd like that, made the Marauders look up and follow me from the school to the forest. As they neared I came from it quickly, I paused. They saw someone coming but not necessary me coming from the forest, I stopped and turned to Hagrid's. He was chopping wood in front of his hut and stopped when he saw me.
I said nothing as he asked me what was wrong, I shook my head only and sprinted back to the castle.
"Okay Fala what do you want?" I asked aloud hoping she would hear me.
"I want you dead Resa."
"I'll kill you first for murdering my mother and father." I whispered solidly back.
So, that's chap 1. Thanks for reading.
