Creation

BPOV

"Whore?" Draco repeated his voice gave me hint how hurt he was, not by me, he was hurt and sad because I was forced to do all those things to survive.

"What brings you here, Javier?" I asked fully aware that someone called him here, yet I had no idea why.

"I was called here to be put in use of finding girl that theorizes world we all know and love." I hated how uncertain his words were, then again I hate Javier just for being Javier.

"And they sent you here?" I asked. " They sent you to me. Ronald called you here." I realized, it made perfect sense. "Why?"

No one said anything on that and they didn't have to their minds were loud enough. I couldn't see them because I blinded myself, it was me and not Riddle who occasionally took control over me, I did it to protect me and secret which can kill me. They are all tapping in darkness in desperate search for that girl who is first of all too smart too catch, secondly too smart in overall, thirdly full of tricks and finally there are people ready to die for her.

"I'm really sorry my dear, but everyone in this room will sooner or later come to conclusion that you know who Riddle is and they want to know it too." I carefully listened his voice, he moved from his previous place, somewhere closer to me, but still out of the room.

"Hmm... What do you think? Do I know?" I smiled in direction where I knew he was standing.

"Does it matter?" He asked in return.

No it doesn't, I thought. It must have crossed everybody's mind that I knew who Riddle is and it was logical conclusion. I claimed from first day that Riddle isn't Arabella and when they dug bones from Arabella's grave and proved it was Arabella in, I was right. She wasn't my sister, Arabella would never be as vile and as cruel as Riddle was when she buried me alive in grave with bones of my dead sister for over year. I believe not even Voldemort would do what his wife did.

Then again, Tommy always wanted me to join his ranks and he never wanted any harm happen to me. It was his twisted was, he hated me for being powerful, he want me for it, when I refused he was pissed and when I was hurt he apologized. He way mysterious man and if he wasn't as bad as he was I could call his death pity, but the thing is he was psychotic, deranged serial killer, bad person in general ready to do everything to get what he wanted.

His wife must have been, well is very alike to him only, I believe she was little bit crazier. Still, girl deserves some credit she manipulated many into joining her, betraying their Lord for her. She was crafty and it was bloody brilliant that she used Arabella's face and name, but my nickname. Arabella and I resembled awfully a lot and I can only assume what impact that had on her now hubby and everyone who ever met me and then her.

Silence around me was bothering me, without eyesight, my other senses were enhanced and with that in mind I could probably hear how flies flying in grand floor. Hermione, Draco, Harry, Ron and Percy all kept silent, they were acting timid and observing me like lab rat. I had no real wish to talk with them about terrors I lived through or anything else for that matter, but it was annoying that they didn't even try to talk to me.

"It doesn't, really." I said eventually. "I'm wondering though... I was your whore at time when I desperately needed money. What is the chance of us meeting again being coincidence?"

"It is not coincidence, Bella." My name sounded strange from his lips, I got used to him calling me Elsa. "I spent years looking for you and then one redhead knocks on my doors leading me to you without me knowing it is you. It is destiny my dear."

"You're full of shit." He laughed at my words.

"I see you never got opportunity to run with that boy... Now which of those in this room is the one?" He was mocking me, trying to get a rise out of me.

"Blond one." I replied and answered on question he didn't get to ask. "I never got opportunity to run because I killed someone, running from one person who wanted me alive was stupid idea from the start and while I could still run away I used money I got from you to bury my sister." I knew this would surprise him, but I also knew he would be quick to recover and shooting another question.

"I didn't expect you to do that, then again I never expected you just disappearing either. You got me really worried when you didn't show up on our meeting place..." I heard his steps. "There must be something else...Hmm... At that time you were foolishly in love, you had to do something to protect him..?"

"His father knew about us, he helped me kill remaining death eaters that killed my sister, then he went back to Voldemort after I alerted his memories and destroyed every memory of me and Draco ever being polite to each other let alone in relationship."

You must be wondering why I was telling him everything so easily... Well I needed him to trust me, he will be used against me, I'm sure of it so I am willing to share parts of my past to have him fooled. I know how his mind works, he was extremely protective of me back in days and although he was centuries older he couldn't control himself and his mind of daydreaming of fifteen year old girl, he became obsessed with me and I used that to get money I needed.

"Admiring." Oh he really was admiring me that is why our conversation ended.

"Ronald" I started. "I believe his arrival has a point so would you be so nice and finally start doing what you planned to do?"

"You don't know." Ron said and I didn't have to see to know he was smiling.

"Know what?" He laughed at my question.

"This is day that will be remembered in history. Seriously Bella? You were sleeping with vampire and you have no idea what his gift is? Wait, you had no idea he was even gifted?"

"I wasn't sleeping with him." I ignored his attempts to make fun of me. " I wasn't that type of whore. I slept with others for money yes, I was giving people sexual services, but I never had sex with Javier." That made him stop laughing, he was now asking new question.

"What kind if whore were you then?"

"Blood whore." Javier answered for me. "I was paying her to feed on her blood."

I heard Hermione gasp in background, what a pussy. I wonder how long she would survive in my place, ah yes, she would already be dead and buried. Hermione is too judgy, it is obvious that all this is very surprising to everyone, but I don't hear others gasping. It is just her and I have no doubt that once they leave this place she will be bringing this up and having everybody in the Burrow talk about my choices and my whory past.

"I believe we had enough of this..." Ron said. "Percy please leave room, it will get ugly." I almost forgot Percy was still with me and Ron in room now when he is about to exit I feel like I should hid behind him or grab on his arm to prevent him from leaving. Who knows what Ron planned for me.

"Weasley, what do you think you are doing?" That came from Draco, he finally remembered he has a tongue.

"I'm doing my job... Javier, please join us." Percy was out and now Javier was coming in, but why? "Bella, you see, Javier possesses a gift to see people's past, present and future, he will see every decision you ever made and plan to make... " Well, shit.

"What if I tell you what I know?" I began to panic, I couldn't let anyone in my head, it would destroy me.

"I'm afraid I can't trust you, you had your chance."

Maybe making myself blind was stupid decision after all. I couldn't see from which direction they will come at me if Javier even needs to get close to me. I really had no idea he was gifted and now he turned out to be the biggest threat that exist... Doors clicked locked and all I could do was wait. Cold hands cupped sides of my face, it was Javier and he needed to touch me to activate his gift so I tried to push his hands of, but with no success. He was to storng.

"I'm really sorry for this."

At first there was nothing, but I felt like fireball got inside my head and fried my brain. I started screaming, I believe I was never faced with that kind of pain. He was flipping though my mind like it was a book and he saw everything. I couldn't have stopped him, because I was weak no matter how many times I lied I'm not. When he finally released me, I dropped on floor, pain was still severe. I heard voices in background and somebody was shaking me.

"Bella.. come back... Bella!"

I felt like I went through series of Cruciatus curse, I couldn't think properly. I tried to focus on something, anything, but I had no idea what. Then I felt gentle touch on m forehead, it was strange, I was awake, my eyes opened, I had to remind myself I was blind. I expected it was Percy who was here with me at most times, but touch was too familiar. Draco. It was Draco, his touch and it bloody helped me. I focussed on him, warmth his fingers spread over my forehead and then I pushed myself as far as I could away from him.

Fury, my fury couldn't be explained, but you can guess it was big deal if I healed my eyes to be able to see. Draco was in front of me, I didn't hear when he moved, but he was right in front of me. After months without him, I almost forgot how he looks like and now when he was in front of me looking like he will take bullet for me or Killing curse, I started to consider myself idiot. Firstly because his handsome features seemed to be cut deep in my memory and secondly because I just spent time thinking about this when I should have be worrying about Javier.

"I always knew you were something special, but I never in my wildest dreams could imagine what you would become." Javier was smug, he knew too much how wouldn't he be?

"Please..." I surprised myself when I started begging. "My life depends on information you just learned."

"I know and I would hate to see you hurt when I tried to protect you for so long."

"Then don't tell them, what ever they offered I can offer more... What is it? How much?" I truly was desperate.

"Javier, she has no money don't listen her. We have our deal." Stupid Ron, Riddle turned him into... I don't know what. He is confident to that way that it scares me.

"Shut up!"

"You shut up! You have nothing to offer, Riddle took your money, you have nothing!" Ron yelled right back at me. "Now, Javier what did you learn..."

"Please Javier, don't! I can... I can..." Think, Bella, think. "I can offer you something your morals forbid you to take!"

"I'm listening." He smiled and approached me. He took a good look and then leaned in my neck. I felt him inhale and then he started coughing. "For the name of all that is holy! I wouldn't drink your blood even if my survival depended on it! You are poison, it could kill me! You reek of death!" Nice to know.

"I'm not offering you my blood."

"What is happening here? What kind of circus had I just walked in?" My eyes wanted to pop out on sight of Luna. Ron quickly ran towards her and they started whispering.

"Javier... Please, don't..." I didn't get to finish when Luna started speaking.

"Bella, don't wast your breath." She was really mean. "I believe this is the first time I see you afraid of anything." Her voice went from harsh to dreamy. "Javier, please." I was going down.

"Well, there isn't much I can tell. " He started. "Much of national security I mean. Miss Slytherin is full of secrets, but I am not in position to talk about how unfortunate life she leads... There is something about Riddle as you assumed, but..." What? "It seems that you all had wrong approach towards subject. Listen to me carefully, no one, not even Miss Slytherin knows what is the real identity of Riddle." Huh?

"What?" Ron was furious, I was just confused.

"Arabella Skytherin is nothing more than creation."

"What kind of creation?" Luna pipped.

"She doesn't exist yet she does. Riddle was found by Miss Slytherin here, before that Riddle was working as whore and she had no idea she was witch, in best case Riddle is muggleborn." This stirred pot quite nicely. "Also... I she is no enemy of ours. Miss Slytherin taught Riddle everything she knew with just one intention." Well, it is getting interesting.

"And that is?" Luna was really curious about this. No surprise, I heard Riddle tortured her for months.

"Riddle was created to take body of Arabella Slytherin, introduce herself as Bella and help our world get rid of Lord Voldemort."

"But Riddle tried to kill Bella!" Surprise, surprise boy who lived.

"Yes that happened, but Riddle did get job done." Javier was smirking. "She just went mad."

Interesting story, isn't it? They were all gaping at me in disbelief. Myself, I was looking at Javier, trying to understand what he just did. His story was full of shit, he lied, I never met witch who was whore and let alone ready to impersonate my sister. Truth is that I know who Riddle's real name is, I know who she is and why she did what she did. Javier here lied for me, he still wants to protect me. I realized he wants me and he is taking up my offer. Review.

It feels rather strange to be writing this again, but I can not promise you to give regular updates seeing how this story has little followers and I have other stories which are doing better... So you better review and hope for the best unless you want bitter end.

Sorry for mistakes,

Wicked Daphne
