The Road to Hell

Disclaimer: I do not like how JKR portrayed Tom Riddle as being born evil, he's not. I don't own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling does. All this is in Tom Riddle's POV.


Chapter 1: Survival

The orphanage wasn't the best place to live at all. Mrs. Cole always called be nasty things. Nasty things do happen around me, but it's all the survival in staying in the orphanage. There are only two kinds of people in the world, those who are weak, and those who decide to not be weak, and survive in this crazy world.

I might be called a bully by Mrs. Cole or by the little young ones that I have to watch, but all those names don't really say the truth about everything. In the orphanage, the only way to live here is to survive. Not only that, there are older kids who hang around, and bully the little ones, and I have to watch them, and I usually try and help them, and usually get some tokens in return.

I have been called many things, but one thing I do know is that I'm really special, because I know how to survive in this dump.
