The Death's of Hollow Hill's - Tom Riddle x Reader -

Creature|8

Tom, Avery. Along with you, all walked out of the library. Tom still had a grip on your wrist, though he still didn't say a word to you. Eventually Tom and Avery started gathering up the rest of his 'friends'.

"Tom? Why are you gathering them?" you asked, puzzled. "Because I need them" he plainly stated. You rolled your eyes and sighed. You guys all gathered in an abandoned hall, nobody ever used it or the classrooms there. You walked into a room and took a seat on the ground under a window.

The room was dusty, the little light shining through the window illuminated the dust particles. It looked as if it hadn't been used in decades. Old jars contained items you've only ever heard of. You assumed it was just an old potions lab.

"Ok, boys!" Tom sort of shouted "The situation is escalating. The footsteps still have not stopped." "Wait!? You told them!?" you asked shocked. "Yes, I did." Tom replied, almost.... proud? "But why though?" "Because I intended to find whoever is following you, that's why. Now, hush" Tom scowled. You folded your lips and slightly lowered your head. Chester walked forward, "So, what do we do?" he questioned "If you'd wait, I'll get there." 

"I plan to use Polyjuice and discover who it is." he stated "Ok, then who's going to use it?" Avery stupidly questioned. "Me! Merlin's beard, Avery!" Tom said, clearly surprised and disgusted by his stupidity.

 You couldn't help but giggle, "Do you find that funny, Y/l/n?!" he sneered "Yes, I do. Your stupidity is quiet funny actually!" you said giggling. "It won't be anymore!" he shouted, storming over to you. "Avery!" Tom said, holding his wand to his neck. "If you even dare, I will be the last thing you see. Got it?" Tom said smirking. Avery just nodded his head.

TIME SKIP: DINNER

"Tom, you sure this will work?" you asked, leaning over into his ear. "Yes, of course it is" he said rolling his eyes. You shrugged your shoulders and continued eating. That night's dinner was exceptionally good, it was steak, salad, shrimp and fudge cake. (And for you vegans or vegetarians, I don't really know exactly what you eat so you can improvise. Sorry).

When you were finished eating, you just sat there. Patiently waiting on what to do next. Tom looked over and glanced at you. He slightly smiled, what's up with him?

Tom's POV

I just want to find whoever is doing this to her, I have no idea who, but I have some people in mind. I just have some many emotions towards her, why? They are so different from how I feel towards other people. I'm just so full of hate and psychotic thoughts, how could I feel any other emotions than those? She makes me feel s-so strange, when I see her smile, when she laughs, when she cries. Most importantly when she's with other guys, I feel so threatened. Like I'm weak, and if she sees that......I don't know what I'd do. How would she view me?

I can't EVER let her know how I feel, even if it means......walking out of her life.

---------------------------------------------------------------

You walked into the old, abandoned classroom, once again. It still reeked of that old smell, but it wasn't as bad as it was previously. Tom took the Polyjuice, and you were told to stay there. Of course, he had someone there with you. It was Chester, I mean he's not the worst choice.

When you saw yourself (Tom) you realized how vulnerable you looked. Like, no wonder someone was following you. You just sat there quietly for a few minutes, hearing footsteps from upstairs every now and then. Chester, being Chester, decided to make small talk.

"So, do you uhm..." he asked, trying to find the right words "Do I what?" you asked confused. "Do you like, fancy Tom?" he genially asked, kind of side smiling. "Oh, uhm...." you stuttered, not knowing what to say. "I-I don't really know the answer to that..." "Yeah, that was uhm. yeah" he said awkwardly.

"Wait, I HAVE DETENTION!!!" you exclaimed standing up. "Yes, Tom knows. That's where he's headed." Chester said, trying to somewhat calm you down. You sat back down under the window. "Ya know, I wonder what Tom thinks" you said sitting with your left arm on your knee. Chester just slightly laughed "I think we all do, Y/n!" "Yeah, I guess that's true" you said, turning your head in his direction. "It's just, he acts one way with me alone and another in front of people. He's really confusing" you continued saying, furring your brows confused.

Chester looked at you for a quick second, as if thinking. "Y/n, let me ask you something" he said "Sure, what is it?" "Do you know Tom's full story?". "Well, I guess I do. Not really though" you replied, not knowing where he was going with this.

"Well, you see..." he paused for a second "Tom was conceived under a love potion, therefore he ca- " "He can't feel love.... or any emotions really" you realized, cutting off Chester

"Exactly, that's why he might come off as...... non-caring" he said, struggling to find the right words. He rubbed the tip of his nose with his thumb. "So, Chester...." you asked "If Tom can't love, why is he concerned about me?" "I'd love to answer that, but I'm afraid I can't. That's a discussion for the two of you!" he quickly stated.

ABOUT 15min LATER

After talking with Chester some more, you were curious about his story. You looked across the room where he was standing, just across from the door. The room was sort of filled with an eerie sensation, it sent shivers down your spine. You looked out the window, an owl was flying about. What would an owl be doing out this late?

You watched it go into an open window on 2nd floor, it looked like an office. When examining further, you noticed a familiar fluff of Jet-Black hair. "Chester!" you said worried. He instantly came towards you "I think Tom was found!" you said, pointing to the window. "Y/n.... Are you ok? Nobody is there?" he questioned you.

Your head started spinning, you just wanted to puke. You dropped to the ground holding your temples because they were rapidly pulsing. "Y/n..?" a voice faded in and out. You weren't sure who it was. Other voices joined in.

Then you heard that voice, the owner of the footsteps. "Ah, we meet again, do we?" it said tauntingly. Your body tingled at the thought of it being there with you, even if it was just in your head. "What do you want from me?!" you shouted. "Oh, I think you know exactly what I want." it said, repeating its taunting tone. It just laughed, running its finger down your back. It seemed to have long, sharp, needle like nails. You still couldn't see it; you were frozen in fear. Once again. "I'll see you soon!". a bright light flashed.

You were gaining consciousness, only for you to lose it again. The last thing you saw before blacking out was Tom. Riddle was carrying you, to what seemed to be the hospital wing.....
