Tom's POV
My heart dropped, I had seen her. She held my gaze for a moment I looked into her emerald eyes, and I felt my heart flutter, I swear I saw her smirk, and then she collapsed. I caught her head right before it hit the floor, then slammed the door in Lucius's face and carried her over to my bed.
"Victoria." I whispered, burying my face in her neck, I felt the tears start to run down my face.
"Victoria." I love you so much, Im so sorry." I kept repeating this to her for quite sometime, rocking her back in fourth. She was so beautiful, as I was observing her face, I appeared like someone had brutally beaten her, she had bruises from head to toe. I kissed each one, then thought about how Lucius probably put so much fear in her. I never meant for him to kidnap her, I wanted him to simply take her here.
"Im going to kill him." I thought, then looked down to her, he must have hit her very hard, I could see tears stained down her pale skin.
I held her for a little while more, rocking her back and fourth, running my fingers through her hair. I loved her so much, then I laid my head down on her chest and began to cry again, very hard.
"My Victoria, forgive me, please." I whispered in between sobs.
After maybe another hour went by, I realized why she had passed out. It was my appearance. I slowly laid her down and got up to look in a mirror. I had no nose, and my eyes were red. "My gods." I said, observing how horrible I looked.
I walked over to my personal potions cabinet, and looked through the potions. Before Potter destroyed me, I had full intention of changing my appearance back. But, I had been so busy recently, it hadn't crossed my mind.
I found the potion, I took decided to smell it, it had a horrible aroma.
"Eh." I said, taking the potion into my mouth, and gulping it down.
I immediately felt a tingling sensation all over my body. I fell to the floor shaking and convulsing, this lasted for maybe 2 minutes.
Once the sensations stopped, I walked over to a mirror. I looked identical to when I was 17. I smiled at this, and walked over to my Victoria, she was starting to wakeup, I rushed to her side as she slowly opened her eyes. I held back tears as she looked at me, her eyes were so beautiful, as well as everything else for that matter.
"Where am I?" She asked lazily. I turned my head, from her gaze, feeling a hot tear run down my face at the sound of her voice, I wanted to hold her and kiss her and let her know how much I loved her.
I turned my head to look at her again, she looked at me with big innocent eyes. I felt a smile creep up on my face.
"Your at Malfoy Manor." I said.
"Who are you?" She asked," You look so familiar." She said raising an eyebrow, she reached her hand out to touch my face, once she did. I felt the electricity ripple through me, and a single tear fell down my face. She must have taken notice to this, because she wiped it away.
"I know you." She said in a half whisper, running her thumb over my face, and I closed my eyes.
"What's your name?" She asked, then I completely realized that she is American, which threw me off guard, but her voice was even more beautiful than before.
I opened my eyes to look at her, her green eyes were sparkling looking at me, she was absolutely flawless.
"Tom Riddle.?" I forced myself to say, I was still holding back tears at this point.
"Im Scarlett King." She said, then gave a weak smile, which made me go weak at the knees. She tried to stand up, but she began to fall backwards and I caught her.
"Be easy." I said in a soft voice.
"Thank you." She said, also in a soft voice.
"Let me take you to your room." I said.
"Carry me." She said, I looked back at her and raised an eyebrow, then picked her up bridal style, and I felt spark pass through me and I knew she felt it too because she looked up at me with big and innocent eyes.
"Thank you." She said, laying her head on my chest and her hand was also on my chest.
" Your so.. Familiar." She said, looking at me, I said nothing and just looked down at her.
"Why am I here.. Tom." She said, and hearing my name escape her lips was the most magnificent sound I had ever heard, I loved her so much.
"Say it again." I said.
"Say what again?" She asked.
"My name, say It again.. Please." I needed to hear it one more time, to make sure this was real.
"Tom." She said, looking me dead in the eye, we stayed like this for a moment until Lucius came in and said," My Lord, Do you need anything?" He said then noticed my appearance change, his mouth gaped open," My Lord?" He asked, not believing that this was really me.
I could have killed him at this moment, he interrupted mine and Victoria.. I mine and Scarlett's moment.
"You're the dark lord?" She said looking up at me, very hurt and angry. I felt the tears run down my face, but I could say nothing. She wiggled out of my arms and fell to the floor.
"Don't try and walk." I said, picking her back up.
"Why are you doing this, why am I here, what do you want with me?" She asked, then tears fell from her face.
"I want to go home, please." She said, I couldn't take seeing her cry, I slowly wiped her tears away and carried her to her room, she tried to wiggle out of my grasp several times, but I held her tightly.
We entered her room. And it was very nice, I had never seen this room before. I slowly laid her onto the bed. She crawled away from me onto the other side.
"Please, Im not here to hurt you." I said softly, she looked at me in disbelief.
"Why should I believe you? You sent that Draco's dad to kidnap me! He beat he senseless!" She said in a whisper. I said nothing and looked at her with sympathetic eyes.
"You lied to me, you said you name was Tom." She said, looking at me, tears falling from her face, without even realizing what I was doing, I reached over and wiped them away, she tensed at my touch.
"It is, I never lied to you Scarlett." I said, her name sounded foreign on my lips, she would always be Victoria to me.
She just stared at me, then slowly laid her head down, then whimpered as she laid down.
"It hurts, so much.." She whispered.
"What hurts?" I asked, concerned.
"Where he.. It doesn't matter." She said, looking at the ground. I grabbed her hand, ready to kill Malfoy at this moment.
"What did he do." I said, it was not a question, I demanded an answer. She looked at me, and tears fell from her face.
"He.. Beat he, badly. Threatened me to become his own personal whore." She said, then began sobbing, without thinking about it, I pulled her into an embrace. She tensed at my touch, then relaxed, I began drawing circles on her back. I hated him for doing this to her.
I held her like that until she fell asleep, once she did. I examined her injuries, she was beat up pretty damn bad. I lightly kissed one of her bruises, and laid her down and tucked her in, then went to find Malfoy.
I walked down the stairs, only to see him still standing in the same spot, with his mouth wide open.
"You hurt her didn't you?" I asked him.
"I only did what you asked me to my Lord." He said, then began trembling.
"Crucio." I said, then watched his whole body began to shake, and tears began to fall from his eyes from pain. I did this for at least 15 minutes.
Once I was done, I walked over to him and punched him right in the face, possibly breaking his nose.
"Now, touch her or make her afraid again, it will be death you understand?" I asked very sternly.
"Ye-yes m-my Lord." He said shakily.
"Good, your dismissed." I told him, and he walked away.
I walked to my room, and laid on my bed, and began thinking about her, and how he hurt her, and began to cry. I love her so much, and he hurt what was mine. I thought about her smile, her eyes gods her eyes.. Her pale skin and her blonde hair. I rolled over, and pictured her next to me, her hand intertwined with mine, my arms wrapped around her holding her to me.
"Victoria." I whispered, then smiled.
I wanted to look at her one last time, so I slowly crept into her room, and looked at her sleeping form. Her hand was laying right next to her eye, and she was curled up into a ball. She looked so beautiful. I couldn't help myself I walked over to her bedside and knelt beside her. "I love you." I whispered, and kissed her hand, and let a tear fall from my eye onto her hand.
"I love you." I whispered again, and intertwined our fingers.
