Vengence

Torrance's POV

Nick walks down the stairs to the basement, holding my hand as he goes. We saw Parker tied with magical ropes to a steel pillar. He's sitting on the concrete floor. Nick walks up to him, pulls his wand and points it at his head* "How does it feel to have the tables turned, Parker? How does it feel to not know if you're going to see another day?" Parker looked up at him horrified. "What the hell are you talking about, Nick? You don't have the guts! Never have." He laughed. Nick flicked his wand sending the Cruciatus curse at Parker, making him writhe in pain. I stood there watching Parker, wincing slightly when he cried out. I never did like seeing anyone in pain, not even Parker. But I would deal with it just to see him suffer for what he done to me. My legs were stinging from standing on them so long, the whip marks still very raw.

Nick released the curse. "Don't ever assume I won't end you. It wouldn't bother me one bit to wipe you off this earth." He stil had his wand pointed at Parker. "First, I think you have some apologizing to do." Nick looked over at me letting Parker know what he meant. Hopefully Parker won't be stupid enough to try anything insane or say something that will cause him even more pain. I rolled my eyes at the thought. Of course, he would. He always does. He's to self absorbed not to.

He looked up at me. "For what? The bitch deserved what she got for teasing me all these years!" Nick cursed him again, this time for longer. I watched all of this, my eyes going wide. I said nothing. It was actually relieving that he was suffering. Where did this side of me come from? I've never felt that way.

Nick continued cursing him, not letting up...actually making Parker hurt more. I continued to watch beginning to shake from hate and anger but also knowing Parker deserves what he's getting and much much more.

Nick finally stopped. "The next words out of your mouth better be 'I'm sorry'."

Parker caught his breath and looked at me. "Sorry."

Nick cursed him again, briefly. "Say it like you mean it!" His voice was still calm, it was almost eerie. "Alright, alright! I'm sorry, Torrance." Parker was looking right at me. I hated it when he done that. It made me feel so small and worthless.

Nick crouched down next to Parker, their faces inches apart. "You're going to die today. Do you understand?" A look of horror crossed Parker's face. "You're mental, Nick!"

"You are pure evil. There isn't any good left inside your worthless body. You do nothing but hurt others.....and that stops today." His voice was calm and low making me shiver. "See I told you, you're fucking crazy Nick! You don't have it in you to kill anybody!" Nick was quiet for a moment like he was thinking, he tilted his head to the side slightly. "Oh...I'd kill you in a heartbeat." He stood up, taking my hand and leading me closer to where Parker is slumped over. "But I wasn't the one you continually hurt...over....and over......and over again." His voice was more harsh. His face calmed some and he looked at me. "Do you want him dead?"

I debated a moment then nodded. "Yes, I want him dead, gone, out of my life for good. You're finished Parker. You've hurt me one to many times." I hate Parker. I am still shocked I said that but would never take it back.

Nick looked back at Parker. "Time to make your peace with whatever God you believe in, Parker." He raised his wand to Parker's head, his hand steady, his face calm. He had this lingering darkness to his eyes. It was then I knew how much he hated Parker for what he has done to us...me. Something in me was shouting at me not to let Nick kill him, that I needed to. God would I be able to? That same feeling was telling me yes. So I spoke up. "Wait....I want to do it!" I said calmly staring right at Parker, my eyes filled with pure hatred.

Nick looked over at me, surprise evident in his eyes. "Can you?" I looked at Nick without hesitation I said. "Yes, I want to be the one to do it after what he done to me." Nick nodded and put his wand down. "Would you like to do it alone?"

"Yes." I continue to stare straight at Parker, my body filled with hate and afraid if I look away I might change my mind. Nick looked back at Parker one last time before walking out of the basement, shutting the door behind him.

I looked up at the door then back to Parker, pointing his own wand at his head. "Your time is done! AVADA KED..." Parker interrupted me. "Come on, Torrance. You don't want to kill me. Give me my wand and I'll do it for you. I don't deserve to live." I shook my head. "No, Parker. You'll trick me again." He sighed. "I knew you would say that. I just don't want you to carry this on your shoulders for the rest of your lives. Just give me my wand and I'll do it quickly." I stood there debating on it. I mean what could possibly happen? It's not like he could get away, right? "I'm not sure about that." He sat there silent staring me in the eyes. He was doing it again. He was persuading me with his gaze. It always worked. Shit. I quickly looked away then back again. "Here." I handed him his wand and stepped back looking at him.

He took his wand and he pointed it at his head and said a silent spell then slumped over not breathing. I gasped and backed away from him, against the wall. I was shaking and tears ran down my face as I slid down the wall looking at Parker's dead form. I pulled my legs up to my chest wrapping my arms around them, just staring.
