So much peace and quite I thought as they began to play a game of exploding snap.

Chapter 29

I let out a content sign as I felt fingers gently running through my hair and occasionally scratching my sculp. It felt relaxing and I couldn't help but lean into the touch as the fingers continued to run through my hair. After some time though the sleepy fog that settled over my head began to disappear and my thoughts became much more clear . I could feel my breathing pick up and my brain racing to figure out who was the person that those hands belonged to.

I wasn't able to take it anymore and quickly pushed myself away from where the touch was coming from moved as far and fast as I could . My head spined with the quick movement but I quickly cleared my vision.

I ended up on the edge of the bed and looked up to the other person who I knew was there as well only to freeze mid panic as I saw the familiar features, familiar but also different.

There sitting by the headboard of the bed is a teenager who looked only two of three years older than me . Dark brown hair neatly parted and styled , broad shoulders leading to a muscular body ,the most shocking thing was the blue eyes that was flecked with red. Blue with red flecked eyes in the face of Marvolo . Perfectly shaped eyebrows,high cheekbones and pink lips . The thing is what caught my attention most though, eyes that were looking directly at me.

"Marvolo?" I ask hesitant. This person looked exactly like him but at the same time not . At the back of my mind I realised that I was no longer in the room that I fell asleep .

The blue-red eyes narrowed as soon as I spoke and some of the hope that was in me disappeared when I saw the look I was receiving.

In a flash that was to fast for me to comprehend I was forcefully grabbed and thrown into my back in the middle of the bed with this stranger over me ,his hand holding a tight grip on my neck but thankfully not squeezing.

"Well,it seems we're at an disadvantage here . You know me but I don't know you . Why don't we rectify that ." He hissed the words at me ,his face inches from mine as I stared directly into his eyes that looked to be slowly turning red .

Then the pain came .

It felt like my head is as being split into two and my memories flashing by ,all of them that had Marvolo in flashed by , sometimes slowing down on the moments that we were having a conversation or the moments of passionate sex.

Slowly the pain lessened until it was gone as well as the hand around my neck . Instead of the vice grip it was a gentle caress ,one that I couldn't help but lean into .

I blinked away the tears in my eyes and looked up at the man who looked so much like Marvolo. He was still leaning over me but his weight above me was not suffocating instead it was familiar and reassuring.

"Your not Marvolo ." I whisper not moving an inch as the Marvolo look alike continued to hover above me ,not seeming to move any time soon.

I got a vicious smirk in return but he stayed quiet as he ran his eyes over the features of my face , I let him do as he pleased , for their was no way I would be able to beat him ,one ,I did not have magic and second he was twice my size ,packed with muscle that I could see as his robes clung to his muscles .

"No and yes to answer your question. I am not Marvolo but instead a part of his soul . " he said and finally moved away from me and back to his original position against the headboard I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and rolled onto my stomach so that I was looking at him ,I folded my hands and placed my chin upon them. I couldn't help but feel comfortable and at ease with him .

".....a part of his soul.." I frown and recalled a text I once read.

To cut achieve immortality one my cut your soul through the act of a human sacrifice thus creating a horrcrux.

I looked over at the older teenager and took in the familiar features. The only difference was the eyes and age . " You are a horrcrux ?" I questioned. I wasn't sure, dark magic was a big branch and their could have been more than one type of magic to create something like this .

"Ah ,aren't you a smart little thing ." he said with a smirk as he looked down at me and I couldn't stop the blush spreading across my cheeks .

"But yes I am. One of many that my older self has created to insure immortality. " he said his eyes wondering around a bedroom I was not familiar with.

" Why are you telling me this. Who says that I won't give this locket to someone to destroy. " I question him ,Marvolo wouldn't be so trusting or revealing.

" Don't delude yourself, darling. We both know the felling you hold for my older self and you wouldn't even think of betraying him. I looked into your mind ,saw your memories. I must say though my older self does seems to have a deep affection for you ,its almost sickening. " he drawled .

A small smile littered my face as I thought of Marvolo. But technically this was also Marvolo just as younger version of himself.

" What do I call you ?" I questioned because I would become so confused calling them both Marvolo.

"You may call me Tom ."
