"You promised me that you wouldn't leave."
"Tom...I never left."
~.+*+.~
Fate is Cruel. Truly.
What if the dark Tom Riddle was never evil from the start? What if something important to him vanished and made him become a monster?
What if he had a lov...
"Can I really not kiss you in this...bus?" Tom asked cautiously, leaning in towards (Y/N). (Y/N) pushed him away. "Yes, you can't."
Tom rolled his eyes and scowled, annoyed that a Muggle vehicle prevented him from loving the one that he truly cared about. But instead, he put an arm around her shoulders, and rested his head on hers.
"There's only a few days left until we go to Hogwarts." Tom said quietly. "I'll be looking forward to spending the rest of the year with you."
(Y/N) nodded. "Me too, Tom. And you said that you were going to open the Chamber this June, right?" Tom nodded. "I plan to." he replied, fiddling with his wand that was in his coat pocket.
"Oh, and don't forget to-"
*CRASH*
It was all in a flash. The bus suddenly steered towards one side, causing the bus to flip over to its left. All (Y/N) could hear was the screams of people who were falling off their seats and getting hit by broken glass pieces.
"Tom..!"
~.+⚠️Blood Warning⚠️+.~
Where was she? She couldn't feel a thing. Her vision was blurred by some sort of liquid. It didn't take her long to figure out that it was her own blood. As she looked around, she noticed that Tom was also lying next to her, but thankfully he didn't look as injured.
But her body was frozen, and everything hurt. Glass pieces were in her skin, and blood poured out of her many wounds. She reached for her wand, but her arm wouldn't move.
She closed her eyes and let out a tired sigh. Hopefully the ambulance would come and they would be able to leave soon.
"Tom...I love you.."
~.+*+.~
Tom felt his body go numb as he tried to move. His vision was blurred by the shock, but he wasn't concerned about that right now. Where was (Y/N)?! He gathered up all his strength to haul himself up, and it seemed like he wasn't injured a lot.
"(Y/N)..? (Y/N) where are you?!" he exclaimed. But all he could hear was the groans of the other Muggles who were on the bus. Tom then saw (Y/N) lying next to him with blood pouring out of her, and his eyes went wide in both horror and shock.
"(Y/N)!! Are you alright?! Don't worry, I'll fix you. Just wait a bit, my love.."
He reached for his wand, and prepared to use the Episkey spell, but Muggles broke open the window and entered the bus.
"Please step away!" one of them instructed. "We have to take her to the hospital!" They reached out to grab (Y/N), but Tom snarled and stood in front of her despite the wounds he carried.
But his legs gave away, and he collapsed onto the ground. The Muggles then saw this as an opportunity, and grabbed (Y/N)'s arm and started to pull her away.
"No!!" Tom shouted, and grabbed her other arm, his dark brown eyes glassy in both sorrow and grief. "I can help her better than you Muggles!! Leave us alone!!!"
But the Muggles took no notice, and hauled (Y/N) out of the bus in their arms, while another Muggle restrained Tom so he couldn't attack them.
"NO!! LEAVE US THE HELL ALONE!!!! (Y/N)!!! DON'T LEAVE ME, PLEASE!!!" he screamed, tears now flowing out of his eyes.
"I love you...Tom..."
The Muggles pryed his hands from her arms, and he screamed and begged as (Y/N) started to disappear from his sight. As (Y/N) faded from his vision, he saw her battered wand and her locket on the bus floor, covered in his lover's own blood.
He picked up her possessions and held them in his hands, and started to sob in grief.
"RETURN TO ME ALIVE!! DON'T LEAVE ME!!!"
The Snake's cries rang throughout the bus, and a tear dropped from (Y/N)'s eyes as her consciousness started to fade away.
What about their future..?
What about their promise..?
...
Why was fate so cruel?
