His laughter bounced off the walls of the cave and echoed all around. Obviously, My words amused him greatly but I kept my focus on that light, no one needed to get hurt if he let me go. I just needed to get to the light.
"Are you threatening me?" he sounded highly amused. This irritated me a little but I controlled myself.
"I never threaten, I am merely stating that you should never underestimate your intended victims" I said tonelessly except in my head I was laughing at him for his stupidity.
There was a small silence before he spoke "you are not afraid anymore…"
The dark was starting to making me unsettled. I hated it. Darkness was not my friend. The light called me toward it. I needed it; to escape this place. "There is no reason to be"
A figure stood in front of the exit; that of a human boy and I knew it was Riddle "Tiss tiss I am ashamed in you, I expected so much more and to think that I actually believed your words, that is until, you made for the exit"
I hissed as I bared my razor sharp teeth "move"
"I am going to make you hurt and you are going to regret ever making a fool out of me!" he sounded angry now and he was advancing quickly.
The last thing I wanted to do was reveal what I truly was. If he discovered my secret then my whole world would be doomed. With much haste I kept stepping back and as far away from him as possible but going deeper and deeper into the depths of the dark.
I heard him sniff the air "do I smell fear?"
That disgusted me greatly; the way he liked fear. He was disgusting and shameful even for a human. As I took a step back my foot caught in a small crack and I fell backwards and snapped my arm. Its crack echoed all around.
"Oh dear, are you hurt?" he didn't sound very distressed instead he sounded enthusiastic. He has a habit of feeling an emotion that doesnt fit the situation.
It took less than a second for my arm to heal and in that second his fingers found my throat. His breathing accelerated and his heart beat extremely fast. I began to panic slightly.
Then…
"Why are you not hurting?" there was a tone of annoyance in his voice and his grip upon my soft throat tightened.
"Perhaps you're weak?" I chocked, smartly.
It became apparent that this was the wrong thing to say as he dragged me through the dark of the cave and into the blinding light. I blinked furiously trying to adjust to the light. His face came extremely close to mine and his gaze burned into my skin.
"Or maybe….you are different" for a split second I could have sworn his eyes flashed red. Surely that was just my imagination?
