"All hail Lord Voldemort heir to Salazar Slytherin!" Voices rung out of a classroom

"All hail Lord Voldemort heir to Salazar Slytherin!" Again, the voices ricocheted

Soon the unknown voices swooned around Avella chanting

"Lord Voldemort heir to Salazar Slytherin!"

As the voices lingered within her ears and made her cower in. The echoing voices made her terrified.

Avella screamed but realised she was in her dorm room, drenched in sweat. It's was just a dream, dreams were far from reality, right?

Avella went to the bathroom to wash her face. Soon in the mirror a snake like man popped out, Avella was mortified and inched away. She ran out the bathroom, what was happening to her?

Was it getting in her head? What was Tom infiltrating on her?

She went to the heart of the common room, slumped down on the sofa and dozed off.

"Avella." The same snake like man called out

"You know your true self, Avella." His hissing voice slithered in her ears

"Come on, unleash your inner ambition. You can do great." He smirked

Avella didn't know she was tossing and turning

"No!" She cried out

"No? Is that so?" It laughed it's hideous laugh

The thing was hardly human.

"Do you know who I am?" He hissed once more

"No! Get away" Avella tried to run

"You can't outrun Lord Voldemort forever!" It rained her back to her place

"Join me." It's wand traced her pretty jaw

"You'd have to kill me." She retaliated

"See you in hell, avada kedavra!" The green spell casted upon her

Soon she woke up in a cold shock, herself doused in sweat. She screamed when she saw the daunting strong featured Tom staring down at her.

"Avella? You missed breakfast, and what are you doing on the sofa?" He asked

Avella got up with no explanation. And ran to her dorm room. These were not dreams, these were nightmares.

Soon she came out in her attire, and walked down the halls. Tom by her side.

"You haven't said a single word, what is wrong with you?" He turned to her

"Bad sleep, end of." She hastily covered up

"It didn't look like just a bad sleep. Anyways, I wanted to invite you to one of our meetings, in the room of requirement. Six pm. Don't be late" he ordered

She knew what meeting it was, the Knights of Walpurgis. This made her feel more sick. Once lessons had finished, she plucked up the courage to go to the Room of Requirement. She didn't even know if it was real, or legend. But apparently Tom had discovered it.

She entered, there was a long black table with everyone at their seats, Tom had the very top.

"Ah! My dear Vella, we didn't think you'd come" Tom embraced her by kissing her cheek

"Welcome to the first official meeting of the Knight's of Walpurgis" he said triumphantly

He guided her to her seat, right next to him.

"Listen up you fools, my wife if your mistress too, other than me. Do what she says, and if not, you die. Understood?" He shouted at his followers, their faces, stale.

They all nodded with fear.

"Now my loyal Knight's. We need to recruit more people after we finish, get everyone you know, that are Purebloods and believe in our supremacy." He demanded pointing at every of his followers faces.

Avella was uptight, Tom had never frightened her like this. He was so demanding, and she knew he was willing to kill anyone, even her, to get what he wants

Avella had an idea, but would she keep it to herself? As time went on, Tom talked to his 'loyal' followers about his future plans, and how he will take over the world, as also apart of Grindelwald's legacy if he gets defeated.

Apparently Tom Riddle is the chosen one on the dark side.

What made Avella more uneasy, is that his followers started to address him as 'Lord Voldemort'. Which made the girl feel more uneasy than ever. Once the meeting was finished they chanted

"All hail Lord Voldemort! Whom we pledge our allegiance to until we perish!" They all stood up as Tom smirked

But to their shock, Avella had fell dizzy and fainted. Her dream, was nearer to real than she had anticipated.

Later she woke up, oblivious to Tom looking down on her again.

"How long?" Avella gasped

"How long what?" He asked

"How long have I been out for?" She asked

"Let's say, some time" he sat down

"What happened, all I remember was a meeting" she rubbed her head

"You interrupted my meeting, are you even worthy of being the mistress to my Knights" he looked at her with disgust

"I couldn't help that I'd fainted. If you had respect and a bit of decency you would of asked me how I'm feeling rather than think about your selfish self!" Avella told him off

He stayed silent and thought for a moment.

"Fine, I'm...sorry. How...how are you?" He looked into her eyes solemnly

"No use for that now, Tom. Do I look fine?" She sarcastically replied

He pursed his lips. He came closer and kissed her forehead.

"You'll always be fine, when you're with me." He sat next to her and, for the first time, he hugged her out of love, he put his chin on her head and they stayed there.

Tom didn't know what he was doing, but he felt warm. Like the light had put out the darkness.
