Sorry I am so late with the update! Hope you enjoy these next chapters
The holiday passed quickly as she avoided Tom. Of course she had the upsetting bump in with him once in a while, but nothing that couldn't be fixed. She learned to empty her head of everything she had ever felt, heard, spoke or seen. She didn't make eye contact with him. He simply vanished from her. But she could still hear his pleas for her in the back of her mind. He was taking her over from the inside. Every day she would wake up with his voice pleading for her to come to his chambers. She washed it away with her own voice telling herself to ignore it. The urges for him became worse every day. She would often find herself aimlessly walking to his room, never remembering when she got up. When the holidays ended she waited outside on the platform for her friends to step off the train. Hannah was the first one to spot her.
"How were your holidays with Riddle?" she asked beaming for the details.
"quite boring. We didn't have sex if that is what you are trying to find out." She said feeling proud of herself for putting that out there
"Oh. Kissing I'm sure?" Violet mused from Marcys' other side.
"Again wrong. We kissed once maybe twice. That's it" Marcy said with a smile.
"That's a nice necklace. Who got it for you? Your mum?"
"Wh-what necklace?" Marcys' hand flew to her chest, to find the small crystal flower hanging from her neck.
"Tom." She growled.
"Tom! Tom got that for you?" Violet said happily.
"It was his mothers." Marcy said sadly. Before they could reply Marcy saw Tom standing on the platform. She parted from her friends and approached him.
"You are a real bastard Tom." She spat at him.
"What?" he asked trying to act as if he didn't know what she was talking about.
"Do not play dumb with me Riddle you know exactly what I am talking about. Every morning and every night I get those calls in my mind from you. Leading me directly to your dorm. I take this necklace off and its back on my neck. I never put it back on Tom! What do you want with me."
"I have big plans for you Marcy." Marcys face took on a mask of confusion. Before he could extinguish the puzzlement, Tom saw Brutus. "I'll be back soon Marcy. I have a matter that I must attend to." Marcy spun around to see where Tom was heading off to. When she saw the tall blonde figure that could only be Brutus. He was yards down the platform. Marcy thought she could catch up to Tom in time.
"Tom, please don't start with him. This isn't worth it." She begged
"I'll kill him for what he did. I will destroy him." He growled.
"Tom I am not worth your trouble. Please, go find another girl to worry about. You don't want me anymore. I have given into you. Please" she grabbed his arm, but he roughly pushed her away. Once he was near Brutus he lightly pushed his shoulder so they were facing each other.
"Riddle." He said with disgust.
"Malfoy, I have heard your latest endeavors with a certain girl, ended up in complete mayhem. I am here to correct that." He said calmly.
"Uh, okay, what do you want?" he asked with curiosity.
"Just meet me by the lake in four days at 11pm so we can discuss the matter."
"Yeah okay Riddle. I'll meet you there. Can I ask what girl this is concerning?"
"Marcy Nott." Tom Responded as he walked away, leaving Brutus completely puzzled.
Like an obedient child Marcy walked behind Tom as he signaled her to. While everyone was going to their common rooms Tom and Marcy found their way to the great hall. And sat beside each other waiting for the other students. Marcy saw the small vile of the love potion sticking out of his robes.
"You're still giving her the love potion?" she hissed at him.
"Of course. She has been sending me letters over the entire holiday. She is irritating, and I can't stand having a silly school girl bothering me. I have much bigger plans that need attending to then, waiting on her every need."
"if you have more important things to do then spend time with girls, why do you keep me around?"
"because you are part of an even bigger plan, than you think."
Silence fell over the two of them. They no longer spoke for the entire time they ate. She didn't think, because she knew he was paying close attention to her thoughts. It wasn't until he left to go slip Alice the potion that she confided in her thoughts.
'What plans does he have for me? You have to get away from him Marcy'
"I know I have to get away from him!" she screamed in outrage as the heads of many students turned to look at her.
He slowly made his way back to Marcy, and they watched as Alice drank her pumpkin juice, without a thought that he had slipped her something. Days passed without them speaking to each other. Marcy refused to listen to the voices she was hearing in her head. But they were getting worse every day. There was no escaping them. Toms words would fall into her dreams. She once had a dream he was suffocating her as she slept. The restless sleep worried her friends.
"Marcy, wake up!" they whispered as they hovered over her bed. she awoke with a start and sat up instantly looking at their troubled faces. She could taste blood in her mouth. As she touched her face, she felt the warm sticky fluid on her finger tips. She must have been scratching her face in the middle of the night.
"W-what happened?"
"You were sleeping restlessly. You were screaming and clawing at your face, you were calling Toms name…" Hannah said as she cleaned the blood off of Marcys face. Marcy stood and ran to the single bathroom in the common room, locking the door. She stared at herself in the mirror.
'He's doing this to you. He is the one that is making you mental' the small voice that spoke to her made sense.
'I know he is. What do I do?'
A larger voice hissed within her mind 'Come to me. Stop refusing me.' It had to be Tom.
"Get out of my head!" she screamed as she smashed the mirror, causing it to break into small shards of glass. Her hand was bleeding profusely. She ran it under the warm water hoping for the bleeding to stop.
'How is he doing this to me?'
'You love him, and he loves you'
'He cannot feel love. I don't love him'
'Marcy admitting you love him will make the voices leave, his calling you will stop'
'No it won't! He'll never give up. He'll never let me go…' She splashed water on her face, forcing her to enter her memory.

"Momma pleas not the pond! I cant swim!"
"You stole from your sister, you will learn punishment."
"I didn't do it this time! Please believe me!" she begged as her mother dragged her to the icy pond in the backyard of their small house. She brought her to the pond and lifted her small daughter off of the ground hovering her over the half frozen water.
"You will learn" she stated, as she lowered her daughter into the pond. She held her under for a good minute as Marcy tried desperately to get to the surface. The icy water was filling her lungs, he breathing slowed, but she still managed to fight against her mother. She was let out of the water and forced to sit outside for five minutes, still soaking wet. The five minutes was cut short when he father arrived home and carried her inside.
"Mildred! Merlins' beard, what were you thinking!" he said to Marcys mother, as he warmed his small daughter.
"She needed punishment."
"You tried to drown her!"
"It was only a minute. She is fine." Her mother said with a wave of her hand.
"She has a broken wrist Mildred."
That small incident stopped Marcy from ever going near a body of water, she still can't swim to this day. She left the small bathroom climbing back to her four poster bed waiting for the day to come.

One month earlier
Tom walked to the edge of the forest waiting for Brutus to show. He stood and waited, clutching his wand in his hand. When he saw a tall figure in the distance he relaxed. This must be Brutus.
"Now what do you want Riddle?" Tom didn't answer, he brought his wand up to Brutus' throat, locking him in the imperious curse.
"Brutus, you should understand I am perfectly aware of what you did to Marcy Nott. You may not remember, let me, refresh your memory. It was about a month ago when you find Marcy and I in the common room. You ever so rudely knocked me unconscious and dragged her to the common room closet. She begged for you to let her go, but you refused. You got angrier as she screamed my name and not yours, as you had intended" a smirk spread across his face. "Her small voice screaming my name, still haunts me. Anyway, You then decided to rape her and act as if nothing happened. Brutus, Marcy is headstrong and is afraid of you, you took advantage of that." Toms face hardened. "I called you here tonight to remind you that Marcy is mine. And if you ever touch her again, well, I may have to torture you until you beg for death. Crucio!" Tom watched Brutus' twitching body and laughed with happiness. "you see, Marcy wouldn't dare put you under the Cruciartus Curse. I on the other hand have no problem torturing you." The torture of Brutus Malfoy lasted a good twenty minutes, and after that , Tom decided to drop the wand and punch him repeatedly with his bare fists. He left him outside and walked back in to Hogwarts, carrying on with his prefect duties. Since this midnight talk, Brutus never even glanced at Marcy. Tom felt very accomplished, but did not dare tell Marcy what he had done.
