I've created a paradox.

Each day I wake up, a new reality unfolds in front of me. Each day is very different from the previous one and it seems as if it's a string of nightmares which never ends but only takes a different spin each time I open my eyes.

I don't know if I'm even awake or if I've just been put to a thousand years sleep. Like Sleeping Beauty.

But unlike Sleeping Beauty, there's no prince that would come to wake me up from my painful slumber.

Because I killed that prince the day I spun my time turner for the last time.

EPIGRAPH

Time is truly a dangerous device
It can do wonders and it can ruin lives
So beware; handle it with care
Or else it will leave you in despair

CAST

Katie McGrath as Eleanor Troy

"I thought I was the only one who could do the task right, the only one who could kill him. I thought wrong. I failed terribly."

"To kill someone, you really have to mean it for the curse to work, love. Could you hate me enough to actually succeed in killing me? Would you?"

TRIGGER WARNINGS: This fanfic is a lot darker than the rest of my works and contains mature themes such as assault, self-harm, murder, violence, and the list could go on. The point to be noted is that this is not a love story and Tom Riddle has been written as the heartless psycho he is, without the author sugarcoating any of his deeds. Therefore, it is advised to proceed with this story at your own discretion. Readers under 18 are specially requested not to read this story.
