Anna watched as the doors opened for the two, the darkness from within reaching out towards her, beckoning them closer.

Anna hesitated for a brief moment before she was shoved forward, making her grit her teeth in anger, she needed to find a way out of this, but without her wand, she was useless.

Victoria continues to stride forward, her head held high as she passes death eaters, ignoring their gazes, and their glares.

The hall was filled with mirrors, none reflecting those of the guards or Victoria, just of her. Anna looks around, restless and terrified. She stops just before a set of double doors, feeling the darkness from within, reaching out toward her.

Victoria watches her before she steps forward and she pushes open the doors. Anna's breath catches in her throat as she sees the dark eyes of her first love. Those eyes watched her closely, he stood and he made his way over, motioning towards Victoria, ordering her silently to leave.

Anna watches with a batted breath as he steps closer, her heart jumping as she hears the doors close behind her. "My lovely Belle," Tom whispers, his lips pulling up in a crooked smirk, his green eyes focused on her violet ones. His hands firmly interlinked behind his back. His fist clenched, avoiding reaching out. His silver rings whiten his knuckles. He wore a long coat, black and open with a warm black cashmere sweater underneath.

His steel-tipped shoes silently moved across the marble floor.

Tom tilts his head, his green eyes watching her pale face, smirking as she looks down to avoid his gaze.

Tom reaches over and he grasps delicately at her chin, lifting her gaze.

"You don't understand how long I've waited for you," Tom whispers

Tom leans forward and he kisses her parted lips. His dark eyes closing as he presses himself closer. Anna feels a silent tear slip down her cheek, leaning into his touch, just barely.

Tom lowers a hand from her chin and towards her chest, spreading his palm to feel her heartbeat. He hums, amused, before pushing her against the door. He watches her silently.

"You don't miss me?" Tom asks

Anna doesn't answer him. "You seem to forget that when I speak you answer. Has sleeping for so long messed with your memory, must I remind you who you belong to?" Tom asks, a darkness that wasn't there just minutes ago, appearing behind his green eyes.

"Tom," Anna whispers, she slowly reaches forward and she cups his sculpted cheek, her eyes taking in his familiar face. A face she had dreamed of every night. 

She let herself a moment of weakness.

Anna knew Tom was bad for her, and she knew she had Remus. But Tom was her first love, and she had lost him so quickly. She never had a chance to say goodbye. "How is it that you're even more beautiful than I last saw you," Anna whispers, her eyes filling with tears.

Her admission shocked Tom into silence, his eyes watching her with interest and longing.

"The years have been good to you as it seems," Anna says

There were many things she wanted to say to him, but she just wanted to hold him, keeping her lips shut. The guilt eating at her chest, she shouldn't be indulging herself.

Tom steps away from her hold, rounding his desk, his heart pounding in his chest. He briefly closed his eyes, he hated how weak he felt when he was around her.

"Enough with the pleasantries Annabelle," Tom states seriously, turning and leaning against his desk, his hands resting along the rim of the wood. He watched her, taking in her legs as they shifted, her skin was still as beautiful and soft as he remembered. His eyes then shifted towards her chest as it rose and fell with anxiety. He hums, lifting his chin.

"Tom....." Anna whispers, stepping closer.

"I-I need to go back," Anna says

Tom doesn't let his gaze waver from hers. He softly shakes his head. "No," Tom says

"What do you want from me if it isn't me touching you? I could be home with someone who loves me unconditionally and loyally. Why am I here, why did you create Mattheo? What is the reason for all of this?" Anna asks, suddenly her wrists are grabbed and she's roughly slammed into the wooden desk.

Tom hovers over her, eyes dark, taking in her bewildered expression.

"I've been watching you closely Annabelle, I've seen you with that boy. I've seen the way you let him touch you, kiss you. But he can never truly satisfy you the way I have, with every kiss, every caress. No one knows your body the way I do." Tom whispers, leaning down and grazing his sharp nose against the softness of her neck, inhaling her intoxicating scent.

He slowly drags his hand down the side of her body, caressing her leg.

Anna gasps softly, leaning into his touch before she pushes him away. Tom looked startled and confused, his hair disheveled so he pushed it away from his face.

"I'm not yours anymore Tom." Anna hisses

Tom chuckles darkly, smoothing down his sweater, and licking his lips. "You will always be mine, no matter how many werewolves you let fuck you." Tom hisses

"Werewolves?" Anna asks with a breathy whisper, he knows. A flash of worry flickers over her face. Tom smirks, taking that as an answer.

"So you don't know, let's hope he used the proper protection. I wouldn't want my dear Belle getting pregnant by that mongrel." Tom sneers, pulling away and walking around the table. Anna stayed still on the table, stiff and afraid. Anna closes her eyes, biting her lip.

She needed to go home, to Remus, she needed to hold him, to apologize. "You've certainly changed," Anna whispers, her voice rough and filled with emotion.

"No Anna, this has always been me, you were just a blind naïve girl." Tom hisses, close to her pink ear, his eyes watching the side of her face, smirking.
