DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER! ALSO THE TITLE IS NAMED AFTER A SONG!
Tom Riddle was the last person you'd expect to get adopted out of the dingy orphanage. Everyone told him the same thing. Either, Tom your never getting out of hear, or Tom you can't get out if you wished on a star. Than they'd give him a hard slap. It was mostly the adults that told him. There was a new made named Rose Stephen. She was definitely the worst. Especially to Tom. She would slap him, punch him, sometimes even kick him, know one did anything about it. Strange things always happened around the little boy. One time, Rose had slapped him, hard, because he had stepped on the floor she had just cleaned. A vase smashed on her head and the owner of the orphanage locked him in his room for 3 days and didn't let him out once. Luckily a 14 year old girl named Ellen had let him out to use the toilet and get some food and water. Ellen helped him out hear and their. The orphanage was horrible but it was better than living on the streets. Ellen's mother and father had died when she was 10. Her father had killed his mother, older sister, and finally himself. Ellen grew up with only an older sister named Belle to comfort her. Belle was 12 when her father killed her. The two girls were neglected by both their parents. Ellen had ran off when Belle had died. Quinn, a made, had found her. At the moment Tom was sitting in his room and hadn't been let out since Ellen got adopted. He had made such a fuss that his only friend had to leave him. He was five when she had left the dreadful place. Ellen had a younger sister too, Dinah, she was Toms age. Dinah had opal blue eyes and silky, perfectly curled blond hair. Dinah was also taken along with Ellen. He hadn't been let out of his room in three years. Occasionally Brian, Even, or Jade would bring him food and water or let him out to use the bathroom, but most of the time it was just him. Tom sat quietly thinking about his life. Jane and Brian managed to get him food at least twice a week. Managed was the key word because getting food was A struggle for everyone in the orphanage. They were around 10 or 11 years old. Tom was eight at the current moment. Even would let him out to use the bathroom as much as he could. Once Tom had asked the three why they were helping him. Well because its not right to just sit and watch someone suffer. Replied Jade.
Jades right, I personally believe being isolated isn't a punishment, its a danger. Even said shrugging. Brian had given him his food and told him that people should always help others in need. Sadly the treo got adopted yesterday. Tom was dragged out of his thoughts when a shrill shriek erupted the hall way. TOM RIDDLE! GET OVER HEAR THIS INSTANT! Tom quickly did as he was told with ought question. When he got to the front desk he noticed a nice looking lady dressed all in dark blue and black. She was very thin and had a long black haired braid that reached down to her waist. Tom this is Mrs.Killington she's going to be your new mother, pack your things and be back hear in 20 minutes! Tom got right to work as he did not want to be beaten. He did so with a smile, he was free, he was finally getting out! Tom was out of the orphanage is 40 minutes. Mrs.Killington seemed nice. She helped him carry some of his bags and even gave him a sip of water when they got to her house. She told him he could call her Emma until he's ready to call her mother. She had a black cat named Marry. Tom didn't mind black cats like most people in the orphanage did. Emma was very comforting to Tom. She never talked too much or too loud, never asked too many questions, never hit him and never starved him. So far this was going well.
