EVERYTHING WAS HAZY. Much like some day dream. She didn't remember anything after she had fell asleep from the exhausting task Tom had given her.
"Come on darling, just a bit more and we can start training." He held a forkful of pancakes with diced fruit and whipped cream. Encouraging her to take a bite once more.
Nagini had her suspicions on why he was so happy. Quite frankly she was upset about everything he had just done.
Yet she didn't even have the time to bring up her concerns as he continued to feed her relentlessly.
"I think that enough food. Anymore and she might not be able to stomach it." Anadora Black. She was old, walked around with a black cane and long robes but everyone's knows better than to mess with her.
She's a meticulous lady. Known world wide for her combat and curses. Not only did she hold a chair in the Elders council, she was also Nagini's mentor.
"Mistress Anador Black."
"Young Nagini Black. Lovely to see you again, I believe it's been a while."
"Yes, yes it has." Nagini had an odd relationship with this woman. She had a burning hatred for her, yet couldn't help but think of the last time memory in which Anador actually act like a mother towards her.
"Your clothes for today's training has been set in your chambers. I expect you to be ready in ten. Bring your wand." Anador didn't bother excusing herself. She didn't care about Tom and what he may have thought. She doesn't even care about his morals and ideologies.
She had a plan, and she's going to see it through.
"You haven't spoken to me far longer than usual. Is something wrong?" Nagini ignored his question. She couldn't be upset with him before but right now she has every right.
"Nagini don't ignore me." Anador had picked out an awfully revealing dress. It was black, a double slit nearly reaching her waist along with long sleeves and a steep cut to show a bit of cleavage. What was the gold belt even for?
What was this old woman thinking.
At least the cloak made it better.
"Nagini." This time Nagini froze. Clothes in hand as she stopped examining it. She didn't freeze because she understood the seriousness of situation but rather because he actually forced her to stay in place.
"Why are you upset."
Silence.
"I won't ask again." She has about ten more minutes left before Anador deems her late. If she continues this then she'll be at that wretched woman's mercy. Damn.
The odds weren't in her favored this time.
So she did what she did best and answered bluntly. Just to stop this nonsense.
"I'm upset because this ring isn't for me." Tom was caught off guard by this. He couldn't even read her mind to clarify.
This moment of weakness was enough for her to be free and quickly change in the washroom.
"Let's go." Tom hadn't said a word as he followed her down to Anador's special training grounds. What was before statutes of columns are now ruble and stone. Blood staining the white marble ground.
"Your late."
"I'm right on time actually."
"You know my expectations Nagini." Of course the old wench wanted her five minutes early.
"Well maybe I would have gotten there earlier if I wasn't so repulsed by the clothes you have given me." Anador took her time going around Nagini. Analyzing every detail of the custom dress.
"Yes, yes it's perfect." Did she take her meds today?
Seeing her puzzled face the old lady finally decided to elaborate.
"Tell me Nagini. Is a battle always fair."
"Never."
"Do you think your opponent will give you time to be comfortable? A young lady with your title is expected to attend many appearances. Many balls, galas, ceremonies, all of it. Do you honestly think you'll be wearing clothing suitable for a wizard duel? I expect you to get comfortable with this new teaching style."
Merlin she hated when the old woman had a point.
The rest of the day went by fine. Training wasn't even hard, Tom observed quietly on the sideline monitoring her health. The silly dress was easy to move in after a while. She even considered keeping it. Maybe.
Things where almost over until a heavy topic sprung.
"You don't use your wand I see."
"I haven't used since my first year. I have no need for it."
"A wizards wand and soul share a personal connection. You need your wand."
"I don't need anything. I'm not weak like all of you."
"You need to be stronger in order to handle what is to be expected out of you."
Strong enough? Was she calling her weak? After all this time was she still not ready for her fate? It's been years, countless days of hard work to achieve her strength and it's still not enough.
"I'm not weak Anador."
"Silly child. It's not that your weak it's that your uncontrollable in that form. Riddle here managed to survive because of your connection but what if one day you snap and kill your own husband."
Tom sighed in disappointment as he realized he couldn't keep it a secret anymore. What a shame.
"Thomas and I are not in a union. I may have this ring but I assure you that I plan on taking it off." Anador looked at her in pity. Nagini recognized that look from her.
"Silly girl. The council had confirmed it. You'll be a riddle soon."
She can't have a regular life, happiness is out of question for her, and she is just finding out about her own marriage. They keep treating her like some weapon. Like a doll. Nagini didn't exactly know what went through her head at that moment. A moment of sheer will as she did the unexpected. Hatred really does speak creative thoughts.
She's not and idiot. She knows exactly what they want from her. Why she was chosen. Why she was a prodigy.
It's because she can turn.
Green scales never felt more familiar. Her dress slipped off as she tried slithering. Tom was sure surprised to see this. Yet Anador look concerned, Nagini isn't ready.
The beast isn't tame, it's eyes shut as it struggled to control itself. The sudden action of fangs coming out ready to bite was stopped when Tom drew the line. Arm stretched, pointed and aimed as it moved. His hand moving as if he controlled a puppet.
Moving just in time to stop Nagini from giving herself a fatal bite.
"Turn back." Nagini tried, she really tried breaking the connection for a single bite.
Just one bite.
It's enough to end her immediately. End this life that was forced upon her. She didn't want it. She doesn't need it.
"Nagini I said turn back! Your going mad!" Tom thought to himself, if he could control her, then maybe he could change her form.
Nagini could feel this. He was really trying to push her back. And because of the training and the focus it took to hold back this beast, Nagini was exhausted. She couldn't fight back and tame a beast while someone tried pushing her back into a human.
She had to give in.
She had to be a doll again.
A frown etched onto Tom's face as he finally turned her back. He caught her just in time before she hit the ground. She laid in his arms bare as he grabbed her cloak.
Silly little snake. How could you think that death is the answer. I've been to hard on you again haven't I. Have you been feeling neglected? How horrible of me. I know your upset about the wedding, but I assure you that you'll be happy. You'll live so happily. With me.
"I'm not marrying you. I want my own life already!" Tom didn't even feel surprised by her outburst. Just cuddling her closer as he walked back to their room.
"Shh, it's okay Geni just sleep. We'll talk more later. Thank you Anador we'll be back again soon."
"No, no let me go! I don't want this." Tom continued to walk with a small smile.
Of course she want this. She's just confused, it's always hard for her to be back in this hellhole, surely that's why she's behaving so strange.
"Not another word love, we've done this before remember. I'm going to help you."
"H-help?"
"Yes love, help. Just do me the favor of going to sleep."
Nagini couldn't fight the daunting sensation of overwhelming exhaustion. Her last word being whispered as a meek 'help'.
Anador couldn't help but feel the familiar heaviness in her heart. Once again Nagini had been given a bad deck of cards. And once again Anador has to deal them to her.
"I am sorry, dear child."
When Tom arrived to their room he gently set her down the bed, quickly taking off some clothes and sliding right in to hold her once more. Even if she was bare naked Nagini didn't fight for some clothes. It was just a human body, a body he had well memorized.
"Come here love." Moving her closer he made sure they where having lots of skin to skin contact.
"You did so great Nagini. So, so good. You've grown since the last time I've seen you in the state. Tell me Nagini did you enjoy shedding your scales? Hm? Did you get everything out of your system." Nagini gave a weak nod. Tom taking it to further his point.
"Lately I feel as if you've been drifting away. So many times that I had to punish you over such small matters. This marriage will help us okay."
"Your delusional." She could barely whisper out any words. His grip around her body only got tighter as he laughed and snuggled her closer.
"Maybe so, but you know well enough I wouldn't just let you go. Soon we'll be together for eternity taking over the world of magic. It's obviously too early for heirs but I can't wait see you carrying one after our time in the red room."
That sure woke her up.
"This isn't right Thomas, do the right thing at let me have a life. I'll continue to stay by your side in whatever goal it is you wish to accomplish in the world of magic just please!"
"The right thing? When have I ever done so. You have a life and it's with me darling. However, I love it when you beg. Sadly it won't save you this time."
"I don't want to enter that room. I don't. Want. This. Ring."
"Is it because you don't want a child so soon? Think of how nice it would be to have a visual representation of us both. The ring in the other hand, is not coming off. It's meant to be passed down when the time is right. Until then it is stuck on you."
"What about my education? Didn't you always say it was important. It would be a horrible example for the 'baby'."
Tom chuckled, his dark messy hair swaying as he moved a closer.
"The council has it all figured out. Just rest little snake."
She could feel him willing her to sleep as the tattoos lightly glowed and soothed her skin.
She didn't know what was worse. Tom being upset or Tom being delusional.
No matter what, she'll be caught in the crossfire.
When morning came, Nagini had woken up alone. The cold bed was empty with nothing but pillows and blankets. Just as she realized the doors had opened to Tom holding a tray of warm food.
A lovely aroma swiveled through the air as he laid the stack of pancakes with berries, chocolate, and whip cream. Sunny side up eggs and perfectly cooked bacon on the side. Fresh flowers placed neatly in a vase right besides it along with a cup of fresh tea.
"Morning my love, I see your up bright and early as usual. I got you breakfast. Do you like it?" He look at her smiling ear to ear as if he was insane.
"Im not hungry."
"Not very well mannered of you Geni dear. I know your hungry. Do you think I did something with it? Starting to not trust me? That won't do, it's regular food you know. You should try the pancakes, I know you still have a sweet tooth." Nagini lifted the fork an cut out a small piece hesitantly.
"Just flour, eggs, milk, vanilla."
It was soft, fluffy with an amazing taste accompanied with a berry sauce.
"Just a teaspoon of something I found in the elders old cabinet."
It was to late spit out anything as she had already eat a couple more bites. The pancakes where so irresistible that she didn't realize what he had said until he took away her tray.
Why was her body so warm..
"Silly snake. You ate too much, now look at you. So warm and afraid." She was getting so hot it was unbearable.
He gently grabbed her hands, raising them above her to swiftly tie them.
"The funny thing about that cabinet, is that it's filled with modified muggle drugs. The one running through your sweet sweet blood my dear is really popular."
Slowly he grabbed her thighs, spreading them nicely as she weakly fought back to push him out.
"It gets you hot doesn't it? Hot and needy with no cure other than getting someone to fuck it out of you."
"No, Thomas let go of me!"
"Shhh, you need this. You need me." He started of with small kitten licks on her hot cunt. Tiny kisses everywhere, easing his tongue into her slowly as she whined.
"It-it's so h-hot"
"I know baby, I know. I'm going to help you relive it okay. I'm going to make you feel all better."
This slow pace gradually went faster, tongue sliding in and out to lick every surface. Taking his time in prepping her.
"Tom s-stop it. Make it stop."
"The only way to relive it is for me to fuck you till you can't breathe. But if I remember correctly, you where so willing to die yesterday just to get away? Guess you don't need me as much as you beg."
Getting up he caressed her face, looking at her sentually as her once pale became rosier by the second. Teasing her by leaning in only to swipe her lips and whisper vengeful words.
"Win me back." Backing away he looked her straight in the eyes as she looked so helpless. Her eyes looking crazed as she had felt as if this already happened.
Did it?
"Thomas-"
"I want you to beg Nagini. Beg for forgiveness, how much you want me to relieve you from this torture. Scream how much you love me."
His soft hair falling gracefully as he smiled. The craze in his intensifying horrifyingly.
"Well? Come on now, I know you can't handle the pain. Not after the strain you put yourself in yesterday. What where thinking trying to fight our bond?"
He glided his hands around her breast, her waist, soft thighs, all until he leaned in to suck more love bites everywhere.
He even felt her body hot. Everything she felt Tom could also feel. The pain and pleasure, all of it making it ten times more enjoyable for him. The heat didn't bother him as much as it did to her.
Nagini can't stand the heat. She not really warm blooded per say.
"...please."
"Not good enough. I know you can do better. Tell me, I want you to tell me how bad you want me to ruin this body you have! How much you crave for me to forgive you and succumb to your needs. I want you say how much you love me! That you'll never try leaving again."
He added a small push this time, gripping her hair to land gently kisses. Ordering her body to feel intense pleasure in her markings.
"Please. Please, please, please make it go away! It hurts, it burns so bad just please help me! I won't leave! I'll stay with you forever, I love you so much I'll never want to leave again! Your the one I'll ever only love. I accept the marriage!"
Small chuckles escaped his breath as he took of his shirt. Caressing her neck lovingly as he gripped it. Mood switching quickly as he harshly pounded into her. Her gasps and moans being cut off each time due to the speed and harshness. She found it hard to even breathe as he did exactly as told.
"Good girl. Yesterday really, just reallyy hurt my feelings you know." He let go, letting Nagini struggle to catch her breath. Hands opening her legs more as it was clear she couldn't handle it this time.
"It really had me upset on how determined you where to just leave me. I care for you little snake. Took my time looking after you. Protecting you from any imperfections and this is how I get thanked? Sorry baby that's just not going to cut it!"
Slamming in to her at a slow pace he slapped her breast roughly. Her yelps bringing him joy as he felt her pain. Her pleasure, thoughts, cravings, desires. Everything.
"So good. Your doing so good little doll. Merlin you feel amazing. So, so amazing. Come on doll a can feel you on the brink! Cry all you want but you begged love. You said you love me now! So take in all my love."
The moment he felt her orgasm he couldn't help but make her bit his shoulder. A deep groan rolling out as he he held her legs apart again. She struggled pushing up him out, desperately trying to close her legs to calm down the intense high but he wasn't having it.
"Doesn't matter if you cute legs are trembling, I'm not finished with you. Don't make me pull on your strings." Dive back in he set a calm hard pace. The drug still wasn't out her system.
"We're perfect together doll. Meant for each other!"
"This ring was made for you to wear! I'm so glad you realized how much you love me doll. It makes the ceremony and wedding so much easier. We'll be bound for eternity. With or without your snake."
"T-Thomas."
"I know doll, I know. Go ahead and come for me. Good girl, already reverting back to the perfect doll I made you. Ah- what did I say about those legs." As if scolding her he lifted only one leg to his shoulder and landed a hard spank.
"What did I say Nagini."
"To keep them open." She weakly whispered back.
"That right doll. Keep them nice and open for me to properly fuck you nice and sensual." A few whimpers escaped as his attack continued for a while longer until he slammed her legs down to bed and chased after his relief.
"Your never going to leave me, understand. But don't worry my dear, I won't have you chained up to some tower. No, no my sweet, I'll let you run as many times as you want. Give you time to think your getting closer to whatever you think freedom might be each time just before I capture you once again and destroy that fake dream."
"You where doing good, so so good. But then that boy came and ruined everything for us. It's been such a long time since you had a tantrum, I thought you where finally getting better."
Tiny tears prickled down her eyes as she felt everything. Every stroke of pleasure, each touch of pain, while she struggled to push it away Thomas basked in it. Accepted it, had it full emerge and take over his body as it made it all feel so good.
"But you'll get much better soon, this marriage is the key to fixing things okay. Don't cry my little doll. I'll teach you. Guide you to the right path." One more gentle kiss before he pulled out completely and came right onto her abdomen.
Licking his lips as he saw her fighting for sleep. Untying her he carried her dozing body to nice bath with rose petals and bath salts. Cooing and praising her on the new life she accepted.
"I'll take care of everything. You just focus on two things love. Controlling your gift, and me."
