Soliloquies of Power

Voldemort visited again today. He says I am recovering more quickly than should be possible – I was near death when he came to me in Privet Dr. It was the two things he said though, out of everything, that surprised me most. First, he reminded me that we are a lot alike. Secondly, he reminded me of what he told me in first year – "There is no good or evil, only power and those too weak to seek it." Again he said that he wished for me to join him. I vehemently refused though I sincerely doubt that he will give up in his endeavours to recruit me. The insignia "I must not tell lies" has forever been etched into my skin. There is no cure for the damage done by a blood quill. It makes me question everything again. Dumbledore said that Tom and I are nothing alike, that it is our actions that define who we are. But if that were true, then I would be as innocent as he gives me credit for. I believe it is our thoughts that define us, for our actions cannot be committed without having been thought of first. Voldemort is right – we are similar in a way, perhaps more than I'm currently willing to admit. We both are of the same mind now – that magic is magic – it is not good or evil. Like the muggles say, guns don't kill, people kill. I wonder why Voldemort reminded me of his power speech – it must be a product of the mind connection. He has access to my mind so he must have realized how much I've been thinking about it recently. My thought run rampant and I have nothing to do but sort through the muddle… and sleep I s'pose. I have concluded that Dumbledore is a liar – what else has he lied to me about? But Voldemort, he has never lied to me. He has always told me the truth – I realize now that the "vision" of him having Sirius was just one of my nightmares, one of my worst fears coming to pass while I was sleeping. Hmmm… I wonder what else Voldemort has to tell me – what else is he right about…?


*So this is as far as I've gotten. Hope you guys enjoy what I've done so far. So again, just a reminder that unfortunately, until I get the heart to go back to my other stories, this is the one I will be working on. See y'all next chapter!
