I am a Riddle | Draco Malfoy, 18+

T w e n t y - f o u r,

I rolled my eyes away from him, giving his mother a humbled smile, '' I don't know why Draco felt the need to bring-,'' I rose, but the instant he caught on to my words, he cleared his throat sternly, hewing me off, making me bite my lip in hesitation,

'' She harmed someone, mother.'' He revealed, gawking intensely into his mother's eyes, his fists clenched around the edges of the wooden table, '' She fucking harmed someone,'' He spoke once more. I felt the rim of my mouth twist in disbelief as I shot him an evil glare -

My sights lowered to the table again before I sealed them - my arteries iced by the thought of Adrian - still feeling his hands keeping me down with force - still tasting his lips aggressively forced against mine - still hearing the sound of his belt clinking to the ground,

I zoned out of reality, striving to do everything imaginable not to cry - don't you dare start crying right now - he doesn't deserve your tears.

I caught the blonde-haired boy and his mother arguing - shouting - blasting back and forth, but my mind was too clouded by everything else to pay them any attention - I didn't want Narcissa to know about this - I didn't want to bother her, she had too much to deal with already,

My mind clocked back to the present when I felt Draco's hand is seeking for mine - thrusting his fingers in between mine as he shot me a hurtful frown.

'' I want him gone, mother.'' Draco steamed, hewing his mother off, causing me to wince by the sound of his loud voice as his hold found its way down to my thigh, clasping it roughly,

'' I want him gone, for good.'' I sensed his fingers biting deeper into my flesh as his temper flunked - I immediately freed my nails from my palms, settling my hand on top of his to calm him down, '' Draco, please,'' I begged as my eyes pooled,

'' No,'' He roared at my trembling form, causing me to let out a shaky breath, '' He touched you, and I thought I made myself clear when I said that no one touches you.'' His broad, furious eyes narrowed in mine as his breaths once again hitched, '' I want him gone.''

'' I know, Draco.'' His mother cleared, bursting through the heated tension between us, as her eyes darted between our blue ones, '' He will be. I will see to it, myself,''

She let out a heavy huff as she brushed the textile of her shoulders off, '' But for the other part, Leiah.'' Her centers stared deeply into mine, '' We haven't been honest with you.''

I instantly felt weak - anxious - worried, not prizing what they held from me this time.

'' The reason your father wanted you home, that night, was in order to-,''

'' Split my soul in two - I know.'' I spoke silently, scoring Narcissa off, a feeling of relief pouring throughout me- striving to gather myself, " Lucius told me, "

" Yes, dear. But there is a reason why the dark lord needed to split your soul," She stretched, watching me with pleading eyes.

" What?" My eyes darted between her and her son's - my breaths ragged and the feeling of relief faded away in a heartbeat, " What is it?" I sought to clench my fists together again - to ease everything - but he didn't let me; he gently planted his hand on mine,

Narcissa inhaled sharply through her nose, tensely sweeping the table in front of her, " He wants you to be a death eater - and that can only be done if you caused someone harm," She holds,

No,

" You caused Adrian harm, Leiah."

My heart stopped pounding, causing my skin to drain of color.
