Author's Note: Okay so this is short and a little creepy. I don't know what sort of warnings to put before this but okay so violence and creepiness etc. Maybe some trigger stuff? IDK but please consider yourselves warned. I don't know where this came from and I haven't paired it with any other challenges because well it's quite dark aha. I could have gone another way but meh. My muse spoke, I listened.

Power
For a second, just a second he thought he knew what it was like to truly be alive. For one precious second he thought he had gotten it all wrong from the beginning. As she felt the life drain from beneath his fingertips Tom Marvolo Riddle revelled in the feeling of doing something himself.
He hadn't meant to kill the girl manually, he had meant to curse her into oblivion with a single phrase and be done with it but when she had rushed him instinct had taken over.
He had seized the brave girl by her throat and slowly, joyfully, began to steal the life from her.
It was exhilarating. He never knew that such a muggle action could bring him so much pleasure. The helpless little sounds that escaped from her ever constricting throat grew more frantic but only served to heighten his enjoyment. His eyes grew wild as his body thrummed with the power of it all.
"Goodbye," he whispered as the last spark left her eyes and he released his grip on her throat. Her lifeless body thudded to the floor and Tom stood above her. He flexed his fingers still able to feel the rush of her pulse as it had become fainter and fainter; the flexing of her muscles trying desperately to open wide enough to get that precious air.
As he looked down on what he had accomplished with his own two hands Tom smiled a small, sick little smile. Maybe muggles weren't so useless after all.
