Broken Souls ~??? ?????? ~

Caroline was wondering what Tom did of course, but she was terrified. She was terrified to learn what could have he done. "Bloody hell what happened with him?" Corvina asked as she drived Care away from her thoughts. "Oh nothing." she reassured.

"Bullshit Care. Nolan saw you two lover birds kissing at the hallway. I thought you hated that man." Corvina insisted.

"And I still hate him Corvina. Nothing changed really." she glowered with a cold expression. Corvina of course didn't believe it. "Whatever, do what you want. But remember he is not that normal." she warned her and smiled.

"When do you think this lockdown situation will go? Its shitty to not be able to go to classes and only do homework." Caroline wondered and took a sip from her mug of coffee.

"I don't think we are in danger. I mean this castle is old and I'm pretty sure they already took safety preventions. Its dumb to lockdown the whole school." Corvina rolled her eyes.

"Corvina I have to go but I will maybe visit you again. I have to sneak out before it's midnight. I don't wanna get caught." Care explained and hugged Corvina. She exit Corvina's dorm and slowly walked to her dorm. She felt a cold hand wrap her waist. She was dragged by a masculine silhouette. "Let me go!" she tried to shout but the hand covered her mouth.

"Relax darling, its me." she felt the hot breath of Tom's as he spoke. She relaxed her body but she was still tense.

"Why do you always have to sneak on me like that Riddle!" she hissed as she removed his cold hands.

"Come on Coryn. I like doing that." he threw a cocky smile on his face. His gaze traced Caroline.

"What do you want Tom?" she was nervous. She asked with a soft delicate tone.

"You are fascinating, darling. I want you to do something for me." he was smirking. Slowly capturing every word clearly.

"What do you want?" she hummed clearing her throat. She looked at his dark green eyes, waiting for an answer. He got closer to her face but Care stood just like the way she did a second ago, she didn't even move. He got too close that they breathed the same air, his perfectly structured face seemed better with the shadow of the torch next to them standing by him. His well-build face bones got more obvious to Caroline's eyes.

His finger tip traced Caroline's cheek bones, her fierce eyes looked drained, she looked completely compelled.

"Caroline, you have quite an interesting face. You look like an angel but the devil feeds you daring. You're sweet but yet enraged. You still continue to impress me. You have a small void in you that you try to cover but I can see right through you. I can see how shattered your soul is, its almost like I can read your soul just by looking at your eyes. Your eyes demand me to explore you, but not quite yet." his words spilled out of his mouth with a confused expression.

His mouth corners twirled upwards, almost as a smile. "I want you to come to the astronomy tower and meet me there tomorrow . I can't explain the reason why but I want you to trust me." he almost pleaded.

"Why would I trust you Tom?" she jeered with a confusion on her face. "Because deep down, you want to." he ran his fingers on her red cheeks.

Care's soft and warm hand cupped his hand, stopping his fingers from moving. Her gentle touch made him mesmerised. His cold rings shivered her hand.

"You think that I want to believe you?" she questioned with a humiliating smirk.

"Tom believe me or not but I despise you." she finished. His expression turned all down. His mouth, eyebrows and eyes looked callous but his body reacted otherwise, his body reacted threatened and furious.

"Well its your decision after all, Coryn its about what you believe in, not me. Enjoy the rest of your night. You will need that." he grunted with an infuriated but controlled tone.

He walked past her while she just continued to stare forward to the brick wall. His footsteps slowly faded and she was finally able to think anything but loathing for Tom. She wanted to hate him but she knew something bringed her to him, maybe an emotional bond or something deeper, she thought to herself.

"Coryn? What are you doing here?" she was finally brought back to the reality by Leta's soft friendly voice. Care turned back and saw Leta's appearance.

"Oh hey Leta, I was just here to..." she tried to find an answer but she studdered.

"Think." she finished with an intimidating expression.

"You look a bit pale. Are you really okay or are you just trying to comfort yourself by saying that?" she speculated with a delicate tone. She got closer to Caroline. Her gorgeous brown skin shined with the torch's light. "Well I don't really know what to think you know. I don't quite function normally." she studdered.

She didn't want to drag anyone in her, she saw herself as a wormhole that consumes people, as a monster in the dark who disappeared when the sun rised. She certainly wasn't a fan of herself but she knew that she wasn't really lovable. No man in her life loved her, she always tried to avoid anything that she felt. But she knew that she wouldn't be able to run away from her feelings for too long.

"Well no one functions normally. We're witches and wizards, its in our blood to be not ordinary. We're supposed to be unique and thats how our nature works Care. Don't mind to feel like that because we all are supposed to think that way." she trilled for a moment but she sounded amiable.

"Mum! You're back!" Caroline cheered with a warm tone and ran to her mother's arms, walking through the hard wood floor with her bare foots. Her mother kneeled and hugged her as she grabbed her two years old daughter to her arms.

"Ugh my beautiful Caroline I missed you soo much dear." her mother whispered in Care's ear and made her giggle.

"Oh yes another day without Sybil Coryn not dead." Sybil heard her older daughter Reina's voice from the top of the stairs. Her gaze catched Reina and she smiled. She unwrapped her arms from Caroline and her gorgeous brown eyes watched Reina climb down from the stairs with quick steps. "Mum where is dad?" Sybil heard her little daughter Caroline's question and ignored it. Reina stopped a few inches away from her mother's sweet hug.

"Mum where the hell is dad!" Reina yelled and a cold expression appeared at Sybil's face. "He's serving for a great mighty purpose girls. He won't be at home soon. That means you both are free from your lessons. But remember, you girls have to know everything we've been teaching you since you both were born. But you both can have a week off for sure. When dad's back home our routine will still be the same." their mother ordered without trying to sound too irritating.

They had a few moments together with their mother Sybil but when the sun went down, everything changed that night...
