Chapter two.
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Jack, I do not own Twilight or Harry Potter, I just own Jack
For the next three days I spent locked up in my room with a box of cigarettes and three bottles of bottles of whiskey.
Hermione stayed with me for those three days either holding me as I laid in my bed, or just sitting there reading-nor words were spoken in those three days.
On the fourth day as I lay on the bathroom floor puking for about two hours, I finally got in the shower to bath. I stayed in there for about an hour trying to soothe the knots in my back.
I finally stepped out and dried off, I changed into black jeans and a black sweater
Hermione was sitting at the edge of my bed when I came back into my room, the Pensive was in her hands.
They were here.
"Alice dropped this off" She spoke as she placed the sliver bowl on the floor.
I gave a nod and walked to my dresser and pulled out a cigarette.
"They want to see you" she told me. "Edward wants to see you"
I clenched my eyes shut, why would they want to see after all the horrible things I have done, I lied to them. They told me all of there secrets- and I hid everything from them.
"They probably hate me" I spoke in a hoarse voice, as I placed my cigarette on my dresser.
"Jack" she began "There concerned-confused" she came behind me and wrapped her arms around my chest.
"There are so many questions that need to be answered.." she trailed "The Pensive made them more confused-they need to speak with you" she told me softly
Tears brimmed my eyes. "I don't think I'm strong enough.." I choked out "After what I did-I can't look at them-" I sobbed as I fell to the ground.
She held my tightly to her chest, rocking me back and forth as I cried into her chest. She rubbed my neck as she sang to me softly. Ever few moments she would say ' you are strong. 'You can do it-I'll be there with you the whole time'.
When I was finally done crying I picked myself off the floor, I brushed the tears off my face.
"I'm scared" I whispered
She laced her hand with mine "I'll be there with you" she said softly " I won't leave your side."
I Gave a nod and headed down my room downstairs, and slipped my coat on, I didn't bother to put shoes on.
"Let's go" she grabbed my hand and we were gone.
We landed on the edge of the forest which led to the Cullen's white Mansion; Hermione grabbed my hand and led me to the white door of there home.
The door opened slowly before we even got on the porch, there stood Carlisle.
He smiled-something I was not expecting.
"Come in Jack" he said softly
I was hesitate at first but Hermione tugged on my hand gently, we brushed passed him.
They were all there scattered around the living room, waiting for me.
Esme was by my side in a second wrapping her arms around me gently "Come sit" she steered me and Hermione to a love sat in the middle of the room.
I had to down my head to ignore all of there intense glares, especially Edward's.
I couldn't bare to look at him, not after all I have done.
I cleared my throat. "I'm sorry I lied to you all" I began, looked up leaning my elbows on my knees and sitting forward. "I know its not fare-all of you entrusted me to keep your secrets-but" I began but I couldn't bring the words out of my mouth.
Hermione squeezed my hand "It's alright" she whispered.
I felt tears brimming my eyes "when I came here to Forks I wanted a new life.." I trailed "I wanted to escape everything that I have been through in the last seven years-I wanted to erase everything start clean" I whispered as I started blankly at the white walls.
"I didn't expect any of this to happen-to get involved" I looked at them, the held onto my ever word "To attached"
I brought my eyes to Edward, his expression was unreadable as always, his hands clenched in his pockets, his topaz eyes never left mine.
"You lied to us all" Came Rosalie's smooth voice "You're a lie to us!" she spat
She stood there enraged her fist clenched at her sides. "How can we trust you?"
Emmett tried yanking her back but she pushed him back with out any effort, that he almost flew off the couch.
"You killed Humans-you killed innocent people-"
"Innocent!" I yelled as I shot up " Did you even look in the Pensive to see what there kind has done to the world-"
"It gives you no right to take there life from them-"
"WHAT GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO KILL MY FAMILY!" As I shouted a vase shattered across the room. "THEY TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME!"
"They killed discriminately!" I spat "They got what they dissevered" I yelled.
"Rosalie sit down" Carlisle ordered
She shook her head at me in disgust "No-
"Sit!" he barked.
She sat down hesitantly.
"Jack we have a few questions?" Carlisle began
I laughed as I stood up "Just a few" I pulled out a cigarette
"Jack" she snapped
I gave her a look as I lit my Cigarette and leaned against the wall facing there family.
"In few memories that we have seen-it was mentioned The-Boy-who-lived?" he furrowed his brow "What did they mean"
I gave a long sigh "were to began" I murmured
I rubbed my temple and blew out a puff of smoke "Seventeen years ago there was a dark Lord Named Tom Riddle-obsessed with purebloods-wanting to wipe out all Muggle-borns and muggles alike" I began
"Muggles?" questioned Emmet
I sighed and rubbed my temple. "It's a term used for no magic folk" I took a drag off my cigarette
"Muggle-borns are non magical families giving birth to a child that is a witch or wizard" I let out a puff of smoke
"Tom wanted to wipe exterminate all the Muggle-borns" I said closing my eyes for a minute " A lot of pureblood families joined him called death-eaters"
I pushed myself off the wall "Torturing and killing ever Muggle and Muggle-born alike"
I took in a long breath. "My parents and a handful of people fought against him" I whispered "The order of the Phoenix they were called".
" Most of them ended up dead-like my parents" I whispered-I closed my eyes pushing back the tears.
"My parents went into hiding-when I was a year old" I said reopening my eyes
They all stared at me intently hanging onto my every word.
I couldn't bring myself continue, "Hermione" I whispered hoarsely.
She new what I ment without even looking back at me
"The reason why Jack's parents went into hiding because Tom wanted them all dead" she Began "Because of a Prophecy"
"Prophecy?" Esme questioned
Hermione Nodded "It was made about Jack before he was even born" she began "Tom feared it so much that he went to kill Jack and His parents" She whispered
"What was the Prophecy about?" Jasper questioned
Hermione's eyes ment mine, seeing if it was alright to continue
I gave a sigh "None shall live if the other survives" I whispered taking in a drag.
"What does that mean?" Emmett asked
I pushed off the wall and let out a puff of smoke, Hermione continued
" Well-" she began but I cut her off
"One of us has to die at the end" I said sitting back on the couch. "Neither of us can both survive-it has to be me or him"
"But in the Pensive it seemed as if Tom was dead?" Alice questioned
I walked past them on the couch facing the massive window that took up the whole back of there home. "That Night of my parents murder-Tom came to my house" I began " He killed my father James first, while my Mother hid with me upstairs" I whispered as I took in another drag and continued
"She begged for my life-and offered hers in return" I choked "He killed her next-he was after me next-but something unexpected happened" I said turning around to face them
"What?" Carlisle questioned intently
I sighed "Nobody can survive the Killing curse" I informed "One of the Three Unforgivable's"
" Crucio , Imperio, and Avavda Kedavre" Hermione whispered "Caught using them-
"Will send you one straight ticket to Azkaban" I said cutting Hermione off
She nodded knowingly.
"But I survived the Killing curse" I told them "Avavda Kedavre"
Alice shifted in her seat "The one you used to kill the Death eaters"
I gave a nod "Yes" and took in another drag.
"How did you survive?" Jasper smooth voice asked from next to Alice
I let out a puff of smoke "Love" I answered
"Love?" Came Edward's velvety voice from across the room
"Yes-when my Mother died she gave me the ultimate protection" I began " By love for me-it was old magic-something Tom didn't foresee" I answered. "he couldn't touch me"
"For years the wizarding world thought Tom to be gone from the world" I waved my hand "they saw me as a savory-calling me the-
"The-Boy-Who-Lived" Alice whispered
I nodded
"So how did he come back into power?" Alice Questioned
I sighed again and faced them, my right arm crossing over my chest, the other resting at my side holding the cigarette in my hand.
"Tom was thought to be destroyed-but he was only wounded that night-" I began slowly. "He was left a parasite feeding off life to sustain his pathetic existence" I spat
"For thirteen years he feed and feed off of living creatures-trying to regain his strength…until" I trailed
Hermione gave a sigh "Until the Triwizard tournament" Hermione stated
"You mean those three task we saw you doing was a Tournament!" Esme gasped covering her mouth "That's- Why would they make you do that?"
"I didn't exactly enter the Tournament" I informed them
Alice nodded her head "You didn't enter you were tricked" She stated
I nodded my head at her, knowingly.
"Little did I know I was being couched by a Deatheater disused as Professor Moody-a famous Aurror" I informed them
"Aurror?" Jasper questioned
I sighed "Dark Wizard catcher-half the cells in Azkaban are filled because of him." I said taking in a puff of smoke.
"Barty crouch Jr." I Began "He was sent to Azkaban years ago for the Torture of Frank and Alice Longbottom" I lent out a drag
"Till this day I don't know how he escaped" I said waving my hand around
I brought my self next to Hermione he gave my arm a comforting squeeze.
I ignored it. "He found Tom barely living nor dead" I whispered "He found him in the care of a DeathEater!" I spat
I tried to subdue the anger in me-but it was boiling inside me, I wanted to hit something anything.
A wave of calmness flew through me, that washed away some of my anger
I brought my eyes to Jasper "Thank you" I whispered, he nodded
"The DeathEater that took care of Tom for thirteen years was…" I tried to speak but it was to gritted and filled with Malice.
"Jack?" Came Hermione's concerned voice from next to me, she tried to grab my hand but I snatched it away.
"Jack…" She sighed bringing her eyes up to me. "It's Alright-take your time" She soothed.
I gave a reluctant nod and began slowly "My Father James when he was growing up Had Three close friends-basically brothers" I informed them "Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and…." I stopped and rubbed my temple trying to soothe my anger.
"Peter Pettigrew!" I spat.
I felt Hermione tense from next to me, I watched as she closed her eyes breathing in deeply.
I clenched my eyes shut trying to calm my anger, Jasper power helped slightly.
"When my parents went into hiding…" I began slowly pinching the bridge of my nose. "They had a secret keeper-the only one to know where my parent and I were hidden-"
I opened my eyes, to find Hermione's hand laced with mine, I pulled away she gave stressful sigh.
"But My parents were Betrayed" I told them "My Father's dear Friend, Peter Pettigrew…."
I brought my eyes to the Cullen's who stared at me with intense eyes.
"Sold us out to Tom" I said taking in a drag "The man that he had grown up with-who he considered an dear friend- a BROTHER" I Spat
"Why did he do such a thing?" Esme asked softly
I brought my eyes to her, they held sadness and concern.
"Why?" I laughed as I let out a drag "Power" I told them
She furrowed her brow "Power?"
I laughed again "Power" I rubbed my temple "Tom offered him unlimited power if he told him were we were hiding" I told them as I lent back against the wall.
"Some friend" Emmett said with full sarcasm
I heard a growl erupt from across the room, Edward stood there staring at Emmett with a hard glare.
"Sorry" He bowed his head
I let out laugh "Its alright"
"Continue Jack" Carlisle said bringing his eyes back to mine.
I nodded my head "After My parents were killed-my Godfather Sirius came to Godric's Hollow" I began "He found me there by my mother's dead body-he took me away" I said taking in a drag
"After he new I was safe-he went to go find Peter to confront him" I said letting out the drag.
"He nearly killed him when he saw Peter" I said rolling my cigarette between my fingers. "Regrettably the Aurrors got in the way-before my Godfather could kill the Bastard." I spat.
I took in another drag "But he got away the son of a bitch" I muttered
"How?" Alice asked
I looked up at her, she was leaning forward in her sit looking up at me her eyes filled with concern.
"When he was being trialed at the Ministry of Magic-" I began
"Ministry of magic?" Jasper questioned
I let out a drag "Our government" I answered
He nodded
"Peter was an Animagiues-he could change into a animal of his choosing" I began "he turned into a rat an escaped" letting out a drag
"Ironic isn't it" I said coking my head at them
I rolled the cigarette between my fingers and looked down at the ground "For thirteen years I lived in peace with my only family I had left" I said taking in a drag "With My godfather Sirius Black"
"But my Fourth Year in Hogwarts" I said looking up at them "Everything changed-I was having Visions of Tom coming back into power-bits and pieces"
I heard Alice Gasp a few feet away "You have Visions Like me" she seemed excited for a bit
I laughed "Not quite like yours" I said rubbing my temple "The night Tom was wounded-he transferred some of his powers to me-I can speak Parseltongue" I began
"What?" Alice
I laughed "I can talk to snakes-strange I know" I said shifting on my feet "But is frowned upon in the wizarding world-your seem as a dark wizard" I laughed
Hermione snorted "It's all a bunch of rubbish is what it is" she said crossing her arms over her chest letting out a huff.
"There not visions like yours Alice" I began "The only mark that Tom left on me was a scar-and through that scar we are connected" I said letting out a sigh
"When Tom was regaining strength-I could see things just of him" I said sitting up "Bits and pieces of what he was planning to do with me-but I wasn't to sure" I said with a frustrated sigh
"I Kept seeing Peter and Barty Crouch in a abandon home" I said standing up walking to the window again staring into the forest "Tom looked a sickly baby in the blanket" I muttered
I shook my head "He can enter my mind and I can do the same" I said rubbing my temple
"Then why didn't you just stop him by finding him" Rosalie began "You could enter his mind" she said with a snooty tone
I spun around to face her "Its not something easily done Rosalie!" I spat "It s takes a lot of mental strength to keep him out of my own Mind"
I pointed my finger at her that held the cigarette in my hand "If I let my guard down once so I could read his mind…" I trailed with a growl "He would make me lose everything I had left" I spat
"Jack" Came Hermione's soothing voice
I glanced at her and stepped back from Rosalie.
"Do you know what Tom would do for fun Rosalie?" I wasn't really asking a question, but she gave me quailing look anyway.
I laughed "He would bring in random witches, wizards, and muggles of all ages" I began "He put images into there mind of horrible things-things you couldn't even imagine" I whispered to her as I crouched down
"He would only stop" I said letting out a drag "When they were pleading for death" I stood back up "And finally kill them"
"He would have his fellow Deatheaters gather Dark Werewolves" I said staring at the Cullen's "Like Fenir Greyback for one-one of the worst"
I rolled the cigarette between my hands "An eat Infants and children" I heard Esme gasp from across the room "Alive"
"Or he would turn some into Werewolves" I said with a shrug taking in a drag
There was an eerie silence that filled the whole home; Esme looked as if she would break down in tears-well if she could.
It seemed as if hours went by before someone spoke.
"Is that why Edward couldn't read your mind" Came Carlisle voice from behind me.
"Yes it s called Occulmency" I said taking in a long drag "I couldn't risk anything"
"You could have trusted us" Came Alice's voice "We would have helped you"
I gave a pitifully laugh "That's why I didn't say anything" I began as I felt a tear fall down my cheek "These are my problems not yours" I whispered, but I new they all heard me.
"You shouldn't have to bare this alone-" Jasper again
I spun around sharply and headed toward him "Yes I do!" I shouted
"Jack!" Hermione said alarmed as she stood up "there right-"
I shook my head with a laugh "No there not I have to do this alone" I choked "You know why?"
"Jack" she choked stepping towards me, tears falling down her eyes.
Carlisle stood up "Jack why do you have to do this alone?" he questioned me
"because it either me or him at the end" I sobbed "Its me or him-" I began as tears fell down my eyes
"I don't want them to see me at the end" I said letting out another sob, barely seeing through my tears "I don't want them to see me if the worst would happen to me"
I let out a long breath to control myself
" I don't want them to see me laying there-" I choked "Broken" I finished
"You've been through so much" Began Esme "For someone so young" she whispered looking up at me with loving eyes.
I let out a laugh "Well that's my life" I said shifting my feet looking down at the ground.
"It shouldn't have to be" came Rosalie, her eyes held some compassion and guilt
I smiled at her "Well it is" I said sadly taking in a long drag and letting it out.
And I disappeared into a cloud of white mist.
