Competition: The Revenge Competition
~ For the innocent, the past may hold a reward, but for the treacherous it's only a matter of time before the past delivers what they truly deserve ~
Tears streamed down her dusty face and she wiped them away quickly, as not to attract any attention. No one would pay attention to the pregnant woman with rags on. Or maybe they would, only because of the golden locket banging against her chest.
Why hadn't he loved her back? He should have... she loved him, so he should love her back. It was only right. He didn't though, and it hurt so much and she just wished he would, even if it was only for their unborn child and the whole word was slipping and so she left and - she stopped.
An orphanage. That's what she needed. She had to push his... betrayal away. There was no doubt she was going to die soon, not having eaten in days and so, but she had to get her child to safety.
Merope stumbled along the path, ignoring the leering faces, desperately thinking, Just a few more steps... just a few more steps...
Her mind however, decided to change track of what she was thinking, and she found herself thinking, What have I done wrong to have deserved this? Is this because of my previous plans to steal this accursed locket? Or have I been cursed for life since I was born?
As soon as she got to the door, Merope collapsed, her thoughts overwhelming her and every part of her body aching.
He betrayed me, she thought, I shouldn't be here... I shouldn't... I deserve better.
An image of her father flashed into her mind, and she saw him sneer at her, saying, "A Slytherin, true and true, aren't you, girl"
Burning hatred sparked inside of her. She hated him too. Him, her dead mother and her useless brother. She hated Tom too, but she thought it was possible to love someone and hate them at the same time, because she felt true rage against him.
Betrayal, she thought, At every turn.
Weakly, Merope knocked on the door, and waited for it to open. She couldn't stop counting the betrayals.
Not my best... not my worst though...
