Nobility
Chapter twenty: The War
Riddle grinned manically as Lily stalked across the large field-like lawn towards him.
Lily's confidence never faltered as she neared the dark army, never once did her eyes leave Riddles black stare.
As she stood directly in front of Riddle her eyes still never left his and her lack of fear unnerved him slightly.
"What is your name, chosen one?" he asked smoothly
"Lily Evans," she replied lifting her chin proudly
Riddles eyes flashed a dangerous red before returning to pits of black, "was your father the violinist?" Riddle asked maliciously as Lily nodded, "why," she asked accusingly.
"It's actually a very amusing story…" Riddle started
"I'm sure," Lily cut off cheekily
Riddle sent her a hard glare before continuing, "When I was a young man, and just coming to power I was taking a stroll in the dark woods when I came upon a young man. He was looking for herbs to make his sick first born daughter well. The man said his name was Jon Evans, and he confided in me about his beautiful wife and how she had just had his new baby whom was sick." Riddle paused and grinned as Lily's face began show her extreme curiosity.
"This man interested me and I was cruel back then so I began my plot. I concocted a potion to heal his daughter; he thanked me and told me he owed me before flying off to give it to his newborn. I began to keep tabs on Jon Evans and found out that his daughter was healed, and a few years later that his beautiful wife was pregnant again. So I called him to me and told him of his payment, and eye for and eye, a life for a life, so I told him to kill his wife after his second daughter was born. Being the honest man he was he did," Riddle smiled as he paused for another second, Lily's hands were shaking and her eyes were murderous, but Tom enjoyed her pain so he pressed on.
"I thought that he might be so depressed that he would follow me, but alas he didn't and tried his hardest to keep you girls safe. The guilt and grief ate away at him, especially the fact that you looked exactly like your mother. It was soon too much for him and he died." Riddle threw back his head and laughed the red glint in his eyes ever more pronounced. He took no notice of the seething Lily.
Lily's body was shaking violently; her hair was blazing to a fresh blood red. Lily was fuming; this evil man in front of her had indirectly killed both her parents. The evil in side of Lily seemed to want to strike, it begged Lily to let go, and for once she did.
Fire began to lick at Lily's feet rising up and kissing her skin. Her hair and dress swirled around her body like she was in a wind storm but there wasn't any wind.
Riddle stopped his laughter to stare in shock at the mad woman.
"The light always covers the darkness," Lily spit the words harshly, it sounded nothing like her usual soft tones and with thouse words the great and evil Tom Riddle fell back dead and like a great wave every solder in the dark army fell dead too.
After every dark one had fallen dead Lily fell to the ground, her energy drained.
The light army stood in shock behind her, and James was the first one to run forward and her quickly picked the unconscious woman up and took her to her room.
A/N: so this was simple yet effective, i think Lilys evil side could really do some damage, and it did...so what did you think...?? tell me.
