Fan Fiction ❯ The Unknown Riddle ❯ Coincidence? ( Chapter 1 )

She had dark red hair with silky soft curls, green eyes that within held so much pain and hate, but fear as well. She looked up the rain washing mud away from her beautiful face, those eyes widened.

 

"Where the hell are you, you litte bitch!"

 

A small sad, yet bitter smile caressed her red lips, she very quickly got up, noticing....them staring with annoyance and disgust all across their faces, about four of them.

 

"There you are!"

 

Green eyes met steely cold blue, then she wipped around, mud spraying, hair raising then falling in a beautiful circle, tasingly, inviting.

 

"Hmmhm. It looks you've met my associates." he said taking a step forward, she took one back.

 

"Peters, what the hell are you doing!" a voice behind her said, a voice so cold with hate.

 

"Teaching my little vixen a little lesson! Crucio!"

 

She squeezed her lids shut, the pain came without warning, how she despised pain! Her small body fell to the ground. She wouldn't scream! She wouldn't!

 

The pain intensified then stopped as it had come, her eyes shot open to meet the lifeless eyes of him. She was suddenly yanked up and the ground was gone, she couldn't breathe! Then her feet made contact with the ground so forcefully she would've fell, but the strong hand was still gripping her.

 

She then was draged and thrown merilessly on the ground.

 

She groaned and looked up, seeing something impossible! A man he looked like...like...a...a...snake! She quickly stood up, the curls bouncing ever so smoothly. She took a step backwards, her body was so tense and her skin crawled at his rasping voice.

 

"This is the one, is it Draco?"

 

"Yes, my lord."

 

Her head snapped in his direction, such a name seemed to fit him. Such coldness, she shivered, but then something happened. A sudden prescence, she relaxed, something she could sense...feel...she was safe, secure? The thought seemed strange, so foreign to her, but her body relaxed so much that she slumped down to the cold stone floor.

 

Her hands were holding her up with her knees on each side of her arms, her muddied clothes dripping the wet mud unto the ground, her head bowed with eyes closed. There she heard it, her eyes snapped open, it was slithering.

 

She slowly lifted her head.

 

"Massster, sshe issss one, did you not ssee how sshe relaxed? Can you not ssee her confussssion?"

 

The snake was big, nay, humungous!

 

The snake slithered over to the girl asking "What issss wrong, child?"

 

As the snake got closer, she tentavily held out her hand and felt the hard scales, picked up the snake, she folded her legs and held the snake with both her hands.

 

"Are you not afraid?"

 

"Mnht." her face saddened as the snake slowly wrapped around her body, the tail around her waist, ending with some soft curls under and over the snake as the head cmae around to face her.

 

"Why no ansswer?"

 

She looked down, avoiding the gaze and answered, "You're a ssnake, you sshouldn't be sspeaking."

 

"Hnhn..in that persssspective, you sshouldn't be able to sspeak back."

 

"Uhgh." she looked up.

 

"Look around you..."

 

She did.

 

"Ssee the fear? You are one of almost insstinct few who can ssspeak to any of my kin. My massssster iss one, jusst like you. The gift isss called parssseltongue."

 

"Parssseltongue, if I've had thissss gift all along, how come now it decidesss to come out?"

 

"Well..,"

 

"Nagini, later."

 

They both looked up at the Dark Lord.

 

"Yessss, masssster." Nagini slowly detached herself from the girl.

 

"What's your name?"

 

She knew it wasn't a question, but a threat and standing back up, licked her lips and answered in a....stronger? voice.

 

"Vivian Thera Riddle."

 

A collective of gasps rant the room.

 

"Impossible!" shreiked a hooded woman. "My Lord, she lies, the girl lies! How dare she!" the woman continued shreiking, taking off her hood, revealing long black hari and a fair face.

 

"But, I wasn't lieing." Vivian softly said.

 

Draco noticied how she said it, like she knew it would fall on deaf ears.

 

"More lies! You're nothing but a filthy muggle!"

 

The same sad/bitter smile fluttered across her lips. A sudden 'hiss' followed by slithering changed her attention "No, Nagini!" she said and grabbed the snake before anything else. "No." she murmured.

 

"But, misssstresss, sshe inssulted you!"

 

Vivian's eyes widened in surprise, but that smile yet again.

 

"Don't worry, Nagini, sshe wassn't the firssst, and won't be the lasst."

 

Nagini seemed to want to say somehting, but Vivian beat her to it.

 

"It'ss no usse, Nagini. No matter what, if you got rid of her, then ten would take her place, then after them twenty'd replace thosse ten. That'ss the cycle, it'll alwaysss be sso."

 

"My Lord!?" the woman shouted.

 

"Bell, settle down and don't call Vivian a muggle."

 

"But...but...she is!"

 

"Nagini dosen't seem to agree." Voldemort said, his eyes flickingto Nagini latched back around Vivian.

 

"Draco, I leave you in charge of her."

 

"Yes, my Lord." Draco said with a swift bow.

 

The entire time his eyes had been on her, he couldn't help but think how natural it was with Nagini around her and if she wasn't so damned timid, kind, caring, hell, even hesitante!

 

He went back over to her and grabbed her wrist, then disapparted ot the Malfoy Mansion.

 

She gratefully gulped down some air and looked up at him.

 

"P-please don't do that anymore."

He smirked.

 

"What the bloody hell's the meaning of this boy?!"

 

"Lucius, stop calling a boy, he's a young man! Dear Lord, look at you! And who's this? She's in worst shape than you! Come along. Dear Lord! Is that?!"

 

"Yes."

 

Vivians eyes were wide.

 

1. This place was huge!

 

2. She was being fussed and worried about!

 

"Nagini." she said, taking a few steps backward.

 

"It'ss okay misssstresss."

 

"Why do you call me that?"

 

"My Lord!"

 

Vivian's head snapped back to the trio of blonds, her hands were shaking horribly, so she took Nagini's tail and ran her hands along the hard, yet smoot scales.

 

"Mother, Father, this is Vivian Riddle."

 

"What/But did/how you/could just/this say/be?"

 

"I'll explain later."

 

Draco looked over at her and with a little nod of his head, signalled for her to follow him.

 

 

 

Vivian sighed as the hot water caressed her body. Nagini was curled in a corner of the bathroom.

 

"Misssstressss is pleasssssed?"

 

"Yesss. Nagini you sstill haven't told me why you call me that."

 

"No, I haven't, but you'll learn sssoon enough."

 

"Here, dear, these are some new robes and Lord!" Narcissa's face got paler than it already was. Vivian looked down and realized what made Narcissa stop. It wasn't her body, but what was on her body. Vivian had all kinds of cuts, bruises, gashes and anything else. The worst was two deep gashes that went between her breast with another starting above her right and went clear down to her left, ending under it. She tried to hide her body with water as quickly as possible, but to no avail. What's done was done, the damage hung there, just above her head.

 

Narcissa quickly put the clothes down and ran over to Vivian. Sittingy on the tub's side, quickly gathered the younger woman into her arms as her eyes fill with unshed tears.

 

"No, no, it's okay, everything's fine. Sshh." Narcissa murmured, comforting her.

 

"If you want, we can heal those." At htat Vivian looked up.

 

"We can, besides the Dark Lord, Draco could easily heal you, but...I can understand if you don't..."

"No." Vivian answered. "I want them all gone, all the scars! I....don't want...to...remember." Tears streamed down her beautiful face, her eyes were.....Narcissa wasn't sure, but she just nodded and snapped her fingers, a house elf appeared.

 

"Get Draco and bring him here."

 

"Yes, mistress." with a pop he was gone.

 

 

 

"What do you want, Mother?" Draco asked her outside the lavitory.

 

"You'll see when you get in there." Narcissa answered.

 

Sighing Draco walkedin, he shut the door as quietly as possible. He turned to face Vivian, just like his mother, he froze at the sight. Her body was....perfect, it was just marred, and horribly so.

 

She looked up at him and gulped.

 

Draco didn't pay any attention to her body except waht he was healing.

 

Vivian was surprised he didn't do what the others did to her. His hand were gentle and smooth as he ran his hands over the heald par everytime, not caring where it was.

 

Then he fianlly got the last gashes healed. She looked up at him, tears in her eyes and all she could manage was a small, barely hearaable. "Thank you."

 

Draco gave that famous trademark smirk and left.

 

Some days later.....

 

The four were eating breakfast. It was a bit uncomfortable, and Vivian had not idea why that was until Narcissa said, "I thin kwe should bring her to Ollivanders and see if she qualifies for a want."

 

Lucius had answered, "The Dark Lord hasn't given any so so, woman, so drop it!" that started a glaring contest between the two. Vivian looked at Draco, who just looked bored as hell.

 

An owl suddenly came and dropped an envelope in front of a stunned Vivian.

 

"Go on, dear open it." Narcissa urged her.

 

Picking up the envelope she read:

 

Miss Riddle

 

Guest room Malfoy Mansion

 

She blinked, "Um, how do they know?"

 

"That's still a mistery, go on, open it." Narcissa urged yet again.

 

Vivian found what any Hogwarts student received. She read it, tehn the list when another owl swooped down to Draco. He took off the scroll, and read it.

 

"Well, boy?"

 

Draco smirked, "The Dark Lord wants her to attend Hogwarts, he says he requests it."

 

"Well that settles it! Dear, come along with me, we'll find you something appropriate to wear."

 

"Vivian," Draco said, she turned "What grade are you in?"

 

"Fifth." she answered, Draco nodded, he thought so. He got up and went to get dressed himself.

 

Diagon Alley....

 

"First and most important, Ollivander's wands, I'll be getting the other things such as books, and supplies. Draco'll be with you." with that Narcissa was gone.
