Prologue
Amelia went to for a run in the middle of the night. She was a tall red haired girl with emerald green eyes. Her hair was perfectly tied in a straight ponytail. She was wearing black workout pants and a black sweater. The night was a bit chilly. No one had noticed she had gotten out of the house. Her parents were both asleep. The wind was warm that summer night. The sky clear and the moon full enough to be her only light source. In two months summer would be over and Amelia would have to go back to her secondary home. Hogwarts was a school where witchcraft was tough. Amelia reached the park's track. Running eight laps was the same as running a mile. She started to run the laps. On the seventh she heard someone following her. Already tired she forced herself to run faster. The person chasing her easily ran faster as well. She finished the eighth lap. A mile the fastest ran yet. Amelia ran to the street. She knew she had to get home. Home the place where the stoker chasing her wouldn't be able to follow her in. But the house was about two miles away. Amelia couldn't run the whole way back. Her muscles were burning and begging her to stop running.
Then she remembered. If she cut through the forest she would be able to get home faster. She immediately changed her course. Little did she know that her stoker did too. Amelia stopped in the middle of the forest to catch her breath. Her lungs were burning. Big mistake the stoker grabbed her from behind and threw her on the ground. Immediately the stoker covered her mouth. Amelia felt something cut into her right wrist. Blood dripped into the ground. She bit his hand but, he didn't let her go. She tried to get out of his grip but he too strong.
"What is your name," the man asked. His voice brought chills down her spine. She couldn't answer. "Alright girl you will deliver my child."
After the incident Amelia ran all the way home trying to keep her tears in. Maybe she could go to sleep and be able to pretend it had all been a nightmare. No one would have to know. she knew that no matter how much she pretended it hadn't happened it would still be real. Amelia sneaked inside of her window and, changed into her pajamas. Maybe it would be better if she kept everything that had happened a secret. If she got lucky nothing would happen.
Unfortunately Amelia had not gotten lucky. In those next moths extraordinary things happened in the wizard world. Voldemort had been killed and the Death Eaters had left. Not all was great for Amelia. She was expecting a child. From the ultrasounds she knew it would be a girl.
Nine months later on March and Amelia gave birth. She asked the doctor to make a test so she could know who the father had been. The doctor went to do the tests and came with the results.
"The results say that your daughter is Tom Riddle's daughter," the doctor told her.
When Amelia got out of the hospital she left her baby girl on the steps of a muggle orphanage and threw herself in a river. The authorities found her body a week later.
Chapter One
My name is Violet. I named myself like that when I was four. Just to give you an image of how I look I'm tall and skinny. My hair is black, so black you would think that I dyed it. My hair is naturally that color I don't have enough money to buy hair dye. My eyes are green. Emerald green to be exact. No contacts I swear. I have a faded birthmark on my right wrist.
Anyway I live in an orphanage. In total I have been adopted five times. At the fifth time my adoption agents gave up and sent me to foster. Who would want to adopt an eleven year old anyway? By far I had been in about seven foster homes. As you can see I have never had a real family or a permanent home.
My only friend is Benny. He is a six year old orphan and is like a younger brother to me. The thing with the adoption families was that I just have that much bad luck. When I get what I want it gets destroyed. Maybe I'm Shiva's daughter. The Hindu god of destruction.
The first family that took me in had a really spoiled brat as a son. His name was Gordi. Nothing good comes out with anything named Gordi. It happens that their eight year old son wanted a younger sister. His mother got something done getting her tubes tied. I don't know what that is but, it's on my I'll never do list. So, they adopted me. After a month Gordi decided he did not like me and they brought me back to the orphanage. The second family was more complicated. They were a newly wed couple that made a lot of bad choices. The husband ended being a workaholic. One day his work got super stressing and he started beating his wife. I tried to protect her resulting that I got a concussion and a free trip back to the orphanage. At least the husband got it worse. He got a free ride to jail.
The third family was the family I got my pet snake in. The family had a dog. One day I walking around the small forest in the backyard when I spotted a that time I was 7. It was a medium sized snake and when it hissed it seemed to speak with me when it hissed. Weird as that must sound I was curious enough to speak back. The snake told me it was a black mamba and it had escaped the zoo. The snake was actually black. I got excited and went to show my new parents. The dog Spikes greeted me at the porch and started to back like crazy. My parents ran to the porch and saw the snake. My dad was convinced that I was trying to kill Spikes with the snake that he convinced my mum that i did want to kill her presses Spikes. It happened for the third time. I was brought to the orphanage again.
After that the black mamba and I became friends. I named him Skales. I know well that it's spelled with a "c" but I liked the way it sounded with the "k". After the third family I became convinced that no family would keep me. Skales became my friend and family. The next family already had an adopted kid. His name was Chris and he was in college already. He was studying to become a doctor that treats cancer. I figured that if any family would take me in it would be them. I was 9 at the time. Skales was hoping that they would allow me to keep him as a pet. I got to meet Chris during Christmas vacation. In that week we got really close. He liked me as a younger sister. Unfortunately when break was over Chris had a car accident. The accident killed parents were heat broken that I was taken back to the orphanage. Later I got depressed for losing Chris and another family.
When I turned 10 I was adopted again. This family's house burned down in a week and I was taken out of the adopting system. My agent said that I was too much trouble for any family. I was glad that it was over. I was put in foster care. None of the people who took care of me would keep me longer than a week. My relationship with Skales grew. I even managed to give him a sense of humor.
On my third week I meet Benny. He had been sent to foster because his only parent had been arrested. His mum had been arrested for murder. I never figured if she did, but the thought of a kid with a parent in a foster home hurt my heart. I started taking care of him. The other kids would often call him murder and call me his sidekick. I couldn't see how they thought that this young brown haired boy with golden brown eyes would ever hurt anyone. It was hard not to fall in love with him. At night I told Benny and Skales bedtime stories every night. I knew that if Benny ever saw Skales he would freak out.
We figured that Skales would hide on my waist. That also helped us not get the rest of the kids scared of me. Skales would stay on my waist the whole day even though school. Benny would always fall easily to sleep. I had always wished that I could fall asleep that easily and fast. Whenever I went to sleep it took me hours to fall asleep.
School, you had to ask. Somehow I was born smart. I was entering middle school now. It seemed way to easy. Sometimes the other kids would call me a genius. No one knew who my parents were so sometimes kids teased me by saying I Einstein's daughter. My God was that annoying. Maybe one day I would figure out who my parents were to show the other kids that I did have a life. If I was lucky I could even go live with them . We would be a family. Skales would be with me too. Everything would be great. My life would get from bad to good. It would be the greatest discovery yet. If only it were as easy as middle school. One day life will be good. It just had to happen. It will happen.
