Harry tried to understand what was going on. He wrapped his arms around Tom's waist and pressed kisses after kisses on every part of Tom he could reach,

"Tom…fight him…you need to fight him…"

Tom thrashed against him senselessly and continued to scream like every nerve in his body was on fire. He reversed their positions and straddled Tom's body, pinning him to the bed with all the strength he had and continued to speak to him softly…telling him he loved him over and over again.

And then all of a sudden, Tom went very still and then his body went completely limp under him. He hurriedly checked his pulse before ascertaining that he was alive. Had Tom won? He patted him on the cheek softly and whispered,

"Tom…"

There was no reply. He carefully got off from over him and laid down beside him before pulling the covers over them both and holding him tight. He was hoping that Tom was alright…He was hoping with everything he had in him that he was fine. He smoothed his fingers over Tom's chest and pressed a kiss to his lips,

"I love you, Tom…I love you so much."

There was nothing but silence and stillness for the next few minutes and that lulled Harry to sleep.

He awoke with a gasp and felt an unbearable weight suffocating him. When he opened his watering eyes, he realized that it wasn't just the weight. There were fingers wrapped around his neck and they were squeezing the life out of him. He kicked and struggled…trying to pry the fingers away but that wasn't working.

Voldemort's eyes were blazing crimson and the snake was ten times bigger than he last remembered it. The room was filled with his suffocating darkness and then he spoke…It wasn't his voice…It was Dumbledore's,

"This time you shall not be returning from the dead."

He kicked his legs and shook his head as he remained every ounce of breath left in his lungs to shout,

"TOM…TOM…I KNOW YOU'RE THERE…LISTEN TO ME!"

The fingers loosened for a moment and Harry took that opportunity and breathed in lungs full of air greedily before getting up and running to the farthest corner of the room. He was very aware of the fact that he was completely naked but that didn't matter in the face of what Dumbledore intended to do to him,

"TOM…YOU HAVE TO FIGHT HIM…IF YOU LOVE ME THEN YOU HAVE TO FIGHT HIM…HE'S GOING TO KILL ME…HE WILL KILL ME…PLEASE DON'T LET HIM…TOM, SAVE ME…"

Dumbledore laughed wickedly using Tom's mouth and advanced closer to him. There was nowhere he could go…He was completely trapped. Tom came to stand in front of him but it wasn't Tom…It was Dumbledore…Dumbledore eyed him hungrily and Harry wanted to cover himself.

"Killing you will be such a waste…I should defile you first."

Harry closed his eyes and Dumbledore closed his fingers around his throat once again,

"TOM…FIGHT HIM…PLEASE…"

He could feel his breath leaving him and his body going still. His lungs screamed for oxygen as Tom…No Dumbledore slid a leg between his and kicked his feet apart,

"No!"

Dumbledore laughed louder, and Harry only fought harder until he couldn't fight anymore. His windpipe was on the brink of being crushed and he couldn't afford to waste any more energy on struggling and fighting so he gave up and collapsed back against the wall.

Dark spots popped up all over his vision and he knew that he was fading fast. He was dying again…He couldn't believe it…This time he had no hopes of returning. This time he had certainly failed. The spots grew bigger and bigger until darkness was all he could see and then it happened.

The hands disappeared, and Tom collapsed on his knees. He collapsed with him and crawled closer to him. Tom's eyes were closed, and the darkness was swirling around him like a tornado. It was killing him slowly…It was killing Tom slowly. The strain was so visible on his face and he reached towards him and pulled him to his chest in a tight hug,

"Tom…I love you…I love you…I love you…"

A broken sob escaped Tom's lips and Harry held him tighter,

"It's going to be fine…It'll be alright…"

Tom continued to sob in pain and the sounds broke his heart,

"It'll be okay…Tom…Just be strong…"

Tom's body instantly grew limp against him and Harry held onto him tight, rubbing his back and cradling him to his chest,

"Just breathe, Tom…Keep breathing…I love you…It will be fine…I'll make it alright."
