EMPYREAN || T.M.R.

•EIGHTEEN•

Tom stared at Conscious blankly, her words echoed throughout his ears. "What?"

"You really have no idea do you?" She said with a sigh. "Harry Potter is your Horcrux, when he destroyed your body all those years ago, you latched on to the only living thing- him."

Tom blinked, he couldn't believe it, it wasn't possible. He would've know if the boy was his, he should've felt it.. how could she know this?

"How?"

"I can feel you inside of him, he has a piece of you living inside of him, could you really not sense it?" She explained.

His silence answered her. 

"I have to protect him to protect you, if you kill him you will die."

"I have other Horcruxes he doesn't need to live." Tom argued as he stepped away from her, releasing his touch. "I swore to seek my revenge and I will not back down. I cannot allow such a pathetic boy to live on, I can always make more Horcruxes if need be. I don't need him."

"So stubborn." She murmured. "Can your body even handle another one?"

"I'll force it to."

"Your being unreasonable."

"I'm not." He fought back.

"So you will never stop going after him?" She asked.

"Not until I see him lifeless." He answered.

She frowned, was he really driven this far by revenge and hate?

"What if I can turn him to your side? Boy wonder gone dark.. that'd destroy Albus- another man you wish dead. But i think snatching his prize right under his nose would be worth wild." She said.

"He would never." Tom rejected.

"Would you take him in if I convinced him too?"

"No."

"Tom." She sighed. "Why did you want to meet here then if your going to reject everything I say. You cannot kill him- especially if I continue to protect him. The only reasonable answer here is to take him in, mold him into a master piece. He's strong, but your pieces inside of him is taking control of him, soon he'll fall into complete submission."

He pondered the thought of Harry Potter aligning himself with him, was it really worth pushing away his burning passion to take the boy in? It would completely destroy the light side, and he would have valuable Horcrux by his side- though he'd never say it to her that parts of him agreed.

"You truly believe he would leave the light for you, for me even?" He asked.

"Once your soul devours his, he's all yours." She smirked. "Some food for thought, but I will not allow you to kill him."

"And I cannot win against you can I?"

"Never Tom."

He watched her closely as she took a step towards him wrapping herself around his neck, but his arms remained at his side. He could feel her hot breathe as she brought her lips to the side of his face, placing a light kiss on his check before moving close to his ear.

"Trust in me again Tom." She whispered. "Let me make you stronger, let me protect you and the boy."

He closed his eyes, body still stiff at the touch, it's been years, no decades since he had been touched by anyone since her. His body couldn't help but react, bring his hands to her waist he fell into her like he had once did all those years ago. He allowed himself to trust in her again, their connection just as strong like all those years ago.

"Okay darling, I'll entrust myself with you." He whispered into her hair, finally accepting that fate was with her.

He could feel her lips on his neck, light feathery kisses marked his neck. Her cold hands on his even colder body sent shivers down his spine, he wanted to cringe at how naive and weak he fell around her yet he couldn't push he away anymore. He leaned back to face her, both hands now on her cheeks as he closed his eyes.

"I've missed you too." He breathed out.

He felt on fire, he felt all those buried emotions again, having her in his arms again felt too good that it also felt wrong for him to have.

"Tom." She called out lowly, pulling him closer to her, their lips so close it almost felt like a sick dream to him.

He closed the gap quickly, pressing his cool lips onto hers, slow passion filling the air.  He held her face close, scared he would awake and she would be gone like all those endless dreams he use to have of her. She raised herself onto the tips of her toes, slowly moving her lips to match his pace.

They moved in sync, like time never separated them, that they were still one. His tongue ran over hers, begging to be let in to which she opened her mouth for him, allowing his tongue to meet hers, a low lewd moan escaped her mouth. He felt a wave of pleasure flush over him hearing her a vulnerable again, he couldn't help but pick up the pace, moving his hands down her sides to her waist to squeeze it lightly as her hands moved to his cheeks.

Her thumb ran over his cheek as they continued their violent moment, their teeth and tongues clashing, lewd sounds could be heard from both. Desire burned them both, they wanted more again, to feel each other again after years and years of waiting they were once one again. She pulled away, a shallow breath left her plumped lips as he looked down at her, his eyes darkened by desire.

"Don't go." He muttered.

"We will meet soon my love." She smiled at him, and for the first time in years the corner of his lips turned up.

"I can't lose you again."

"And you won't, trust in me again and you'll never be alone." She said.

And something in him believed the same words she echoed to Harry, but he would never know.
