Tom Riddle and Garden of the Primes
“Afternoon children.”
“Good Afternoon Miss Eliza!” The children called staring at the thirteen children who strange appearances.
“This is Pe-” Eliza was cut off by Prima remarked.
“My name is Prima Prime, you fleshing may only called that!”
Some sigh at Prima attitude towards the humans while others welcome Prima words towards to the humans. Hopefully growing up with the humanity will help them understand their ways.
The children admittedly listed Prima as a troublemaker who they could blame when they get in trouble. Who knows maybe he and the freak will try to kill each other.
Eliza their human names out over Prima, “This Peter, Victor, Adam, Safwana, Michael, Aariyeh, Nick, Omar, Axel, Qi, Luke, Marco and Orion. They don’t have a last name.”
“These are my younger siblings from oldest to youngest-” He finished telling the humans their real names pointing to each of them.
“You may only address us by those names! If you so much touch any of my brothers and sister I will beat your aft!” He declared.
“Actually I’ll prefer the new name given to me, Aariyeh. After all what is life without a new identify.” Alchemist spoke with smile. Prima squint at Alchemist for calling himself that.
“My new name is also Orion if that helps.” Optimus added while the most of the rest didn’t really care about the human names.
“No.” Prima stated “I refuse to call you by those fleshing names.”
Lucky the bell rang singling brunch as the children run off to the tables, she turn to see take the children to the dining tables. But they were gone, she sigh these thirteen will cause quite an impact on her.
When she arrived at the dining tables, the thirteen was sitting together. Peter-no Prima since the boy demand for him to be call that. He was disgusted by the bread in his mouth as Vector focus it into his mouth. The remaining ten was laughing at Prima being force feed by Vector. Vector must have said something for Prima to sallow the food down. Prima face turn grim with a scowl as he spat something out as he grabs the butter knife and stab it into his boil egg.
Solus raise her hand, fork in hand pointing at Prima with coyly smile, whatever she just said must of been horrible as Prima look like he was gonna jump over the table and trample her.
“Eliza! Tom took my bread!”
Eliza attention away from the strange group of children.
-----------\\\\\\\\\\\\------------------\\\\\\\\\\\\\------------
Three months has since they been introduced. Mrs Cole dislike them for their freaky hair and after learning their ‘human age’. Poor Eliza was fire from her job since she gave them ‘extra’ attention and favour them. Most of them was sad to see her go but Eliza promise that she’d be fine before leaving the grounds.
“So Peter-”
“It’s Prima stupid fleshing.”
“Yeah, whatever Peter why your hair white? It’s so weird and creepy.”
“Yeah no last name too. Did parents hate you too?”
More of the children starter to surround Prima called him names and said horrible things, at least in their mind.
“Only old people have white hair!”
“Freak!”
“Maybe that’s why their parents left them, didn’t want to freaky hair children!”
“Curse child!”
“A problem child.”
Prima didn’t really care human children calling them that. After all they’re just dumb children, it always like they could do any harm to them. Moving away from the group until Billy Stubbs said,
“I bet your father hated you cause so chaotic. A maniac child who never listen to him. That’s what you are a chaotic maniac!”
“Chaotic maniac!” the rest of the children chanted with glean.
Normally Tom would be their favourite to pick on but after the cave accident they needed a look target. Peter was the perfect one since Witch Safwana and Black Marco was always together.
Old man Victor, Snobby Adam, Nerdy Orion, Weird Aariyeh, Giant Nick, Lying Luke and Crazy Qi are was always together in the book section, Tiny Michael and Tall Omer were in the dead garden. Prima does spend time with them but every evening he alone which make it the perfect time to strike.
“Chaotic maniac!”
Prima stop moving away, Billy grin thinking Peter was about to cry. Until Peter turn around socked him in the nose. Billy starter to wail as Prima grab his collar and spoke in a low tone sending through the rest of the children.
“Call that me again and you never live passed the age of seven. Understand.” His ice eyes glaring into Billy’s. Billy felt small, very small. He feared Tom for killing his rabbit and for his freakishness. But something about Peter told him, if he wants to live pass seven, he should careful of what he’d say next.
Billy chocked out “I understand Pet-Prima!”
“Good” Prima drop Billy on the ground without care walking away as the group of children around him move away.
--------\\\\\\\\---------
Prima was pacing around in a circle of large dead tree that his siblings have chosen to claim as their base behind the Wool’s orphanage, a dead garden that the carers don’t bother to look after. This place was close off until Maximo stole the key to get away from the children.
Turns out Mrs Cole doesn’t even care that they were there, as long they didn’t leave the orphanage grounds. Mr Wools on the other hand didn’t care as long they didn’t break anything.
An idea struck him when he saw how Onyx blossom a flower. He quickly run away causing the other primes to glance at each other wondering what idea is going in the oldest head.
Only for Prima to return with rusty metal bat stab into the ground, “Okay listen up, we know Fleshing Cole doesn’t give a shit about the garden and Fleshing Wool doesn’t mind since we’re in it. We’re gonna use it, this gonna will our garden, the Garden of the Primes. Our base!”
Onyx let out a smile on his face, “So you’re finally granting me my organic garden, my birthday wish present after all this time.”
“If want to call it that then yes.” Prima stated before adding “Don’t work too hard on it, remember we’re be leaving this place as soon I turn eighteen.”
Onyx pouted “Fine but my new garden better be bigger than this one.”
Prima sigh as place pinch his forehead, “For Primus sakes Onyx, when Father take us back. I get you a whole planet for your garden.”
“Okay! Now that I like!” Onyx smile with glean as picked the blossom flower, placing it in Micronus hair.
“That reminds me Vector,” Solus directed their attention him. “What do you mean by ‘not interfacing another fifteen stellar cycle’, what does that term mean?”
Alpha Trion snorted at Solus’ words while Optimus splutter with a red face, Vector exhale knowing Solus won’t stop until she gets her answer.
Alchemist had grin on his face as he sips on the stolen wine from the Mr Wool. Normally stealing is wrong but he needs his drink damn it. This is gonna get good, very good.
Vector cough trying to explain, “Interfacing is a, well….a new type of bonding for our people…one where its use to transfer pleasure to another...only used with Amica Endura, an Amica Endura is a long-term best friend or a Conjunx Endura are the equivalent of a spouse in human term.”
“Pleasure how so?”
“Kind of like how human reproduce but less messy.” Vector answer with flushed face. The rest made a disgusted face, remember how one of the older children explain how humans mated to make a new generation. Some had nightmare for weeks while others *quicoughntus* found it interesting and research it even further.
“Oh my dear Megatronus, we have to be careful or I end up carrying children!” Solus exclaim with fake fear as she drops her head into his laps. Megatronus glance at her face before picturing older Solus with a big stomach holding it before it faded into her holding a small bundle child with lighten skin of his own, her eyes and hair with his violet tips.
Unknowingly he let out a large smile on his face as the rest stare at his face, Solus calling trying to call him back from his dream world.
“Megatronus!” He shook at his dear Solus’ voice,
“What?”
“You we’re picturing me fat with large stomach won’t you!”
“No! I picturing you with our child!”
“Oh~ Sweetheart!” Solus jump on him with a smile on her face while Prima and Nexus made an “itch” or gargle sound in disgust.
“That is highly unacceptable! You’re too young to think like that!” Prima screeched.
“Not to mention the child will have a fleshing body! Have you not seen what happens when they go hungry?!” Solus bright smile turn grim, remembering how the adorable babies starter to cry when she picks them up, taking their hand out of their mouth, Nexus and Maximo almost threw them out cause of the screams.
“And let’s not forget about the aging and periods their femme has to go through.” He added on, “Along with the fact, they scream in pain when giving birth.”
Maximo blink before stating “Prima are you worry for Megatronus and Solus?”
Prima stop speaking as they look at him. He turns flushed before shouting out “NO! DON’T BE RIDICULOUS?! SHUT YOU’RE MOUTH MAXIMO!”
“You do care about us!” Amalgamous tease.
“Tsundere” Alchemist added with a laugh.
“A what?”
“Tsundere is someone initially cold and even hostile towards their love ones, before gradually showing a warmer side over time, and keeps switching back and forth between the two. They are also passionate, wild, and aggressive too.”
They all nodded at Vector’s explanation and agree, “Yup Prima is definitely that.”
“No I’m not!”
“Yes are you!” They shouted back to him.
“Vector!”
“You are brother.”
Prima felt his spark broke, falling on his knees as Alpha Trion pat his back.
“Cheer up brother, at least we know that all your angry action means you just love us.”
“I’m not-”
“Sshhhh, it’s okay.”
Prima itch and sigh and got back up.
“Okay, now it’s time to make this garden a perfect temporally base!”
“Yes sir~” They replied.
Vector place the garden into a bubble to make sure that no large sounds could escape outside to catch the humans’ attention. Onyx kick the small dead trees, removing all their roots but left the old dead big one in its place. Nexus carried the broke dead trees into a fire pit of the unwanted dead greens, which is lit into flames by Alchemist, Vector drop the melted metal from last time into the fire pit.
Solus with her hammer hit the melted wood and fire turning it into a forge house with noise proof walls. Alchemist began another fire as Vector drop the metal into again, Souls turn that into a sewing room.
“Perfect now we can get out of these rugs!” Prima grin.
Onyx hum as he changes the landscape and outline of the garden. Old tree into back centre, forge house and sewing room near at the front of the gate.
Alchemist fill up the handmade streams up with water as Onyx brought the tree back to life. They work all day to get the garden done, Quintus and Solus work on making the new clothes for them.
Near dinner time, the garden was finish, the dead tree was turn into a cherry blossom, fence of yellow and white roses lines up behind it, water fountain in the centre with the statue of Primus. Green grass with a stream of clean warm water to play in without worry. Small wild flowers in patches around the near the cherry blossom tree. Stone path leading to the tree too.
They were dirty and washing themselves inside of clean water which both as a hot spring thanks the Alchemist building a tunnel way from the forge so the fire from there heats the water up. They were also now wearing better outfits to protect themselves from the cold. They return to their room to sleep after eating the fruits that Onyx had grown for them.
Prima, Trion, Nexus, Liege, Solus and Megatronus had refuse to call themselves their human names. Solus wanted to keep her human name but realise she couldn’t pronoun it properly, so she just stuck to her original name. Vector, Micronus, Onyx and Orion didn’t mind about the names. Alchemist insisted calling him Aariyeh for their new life along with Quintus calling himself Qi.
After a week, Vector ran into Tom Riddle in the book section at the back. When he saw him, he knew he was different. He could sense magic inside of him, not all their own one. But very similar but difference from their own magic, not doubt Unicorn’s work in this world. He softly spoke to him.
“Hello.”
Tom turn his head as he glares at him, he was nine years old so he was older than all of the thirteen. As all of them was eight and younger, he waves slowly at him. Tom glare at him before turning to his book, trying to read the word.
“The word is ablation; it means the surgical removal of body tissue.” He said to Tom as he looks at the word. Tom snap at him as he tried to scare the younger boy.
“Shut up, I don’t need help to speak a single word from someone younger than me.”
Vector smirker at him for being call younger than him. If the young boy learns how old he and his siblings were. He wouldn’t believe it and call him a liar, but he knows young Riddle personality very well. He knows that he shouldn’t be messing around with fate’s design but turning away his breathed, even if he was created by his chaotic uncle wouldn’t sit well with him. Plus, his siblings can also tell that he’d one of them regardless of his origin.
He just pats Tom’s head before leaving him alone, Tom was in shock before he’d starter cursing silently in his head to end Vector. However, after meeting Vector, he was daily kidnapped by the Primes to hang out with them. Vector and Trion help him with reading and writing, Alchemist, Quintus and Onyx help him control some of his magic and his abilities to speak to snakes. When his magic was revealed to him, he acted superior before realising that all of the thirteen had magic too. He demanded to know more about magic but Prima simply pet his head like child.
“Stop that! I’m not a child, I’m older than all of you!” He hissed out as the rest just laugh and chuckle at him.
Every day after his magic was reveal, he spends time with them then join them in the Garden of the Prime. He had to say, he wouldn’t admit it but he really enjoys their company and enjoy the garden a lot. It was peacefully and lovely, he took a clean bath in warm water. He loves it, this is what he like. But…. He was jealous of them as they treated each other as family with exotic names. He knows that he’d pretty and smart at a young age but they out shine him. He felt angry at this but Orion’s kind smile to him, Solus’ gentle touch that reminds him of a mother, Victor voice the comfort him when he was angry, Trion’s wisdom and Prima’s leadership.
He wanted and long to be a part of them but he knows that he’d too different. He doesn’t have colour hair like them, he’s doesn’t have red eyes like Victor and Liege. He adores those ruby red amber eyes. He hates his boring brown eyes and his name, Tom Riddle. To simple, to normal. Not worthy to be with them.
Then one day, a rich couple came wanting Victor and Adam or Trion as he calls himself. But they refuse to go unless the rest and him, freakishness Tom came with them. Tom would never admit it but when they were in the, no their garden, he was crying as they minus Prima hug him. It only been a whole month since they met and yet. He couldn’t bring himself to care about it.
“Stop crying Tobias Prime,” Prima grumble out as he pats his back, “Your one of us now, as if we’ll let those fleshing takes us without you.”
Tom blink at his replied, “T-Tobias?”
Prima nodded his head as he glances down at him, “But of course. You’re a Prime now so you need a new name. Tom was always to plain and boring for you anyways.” He wanted to go with Thomas but Vector told him that he wouldn’t be a good idea. Turns out their new brother father’s name was Thomas. Yeah he throw that name off his list once he learn about that.
Tom smile, Tobias Prime. Yes that’s very unique and dashing, he felt giggly but hold it in. He finally had a special name, he’d not freakishness Tom. He was going to become something great when he grows older. He gonna make the world remember and be at awe at his name.
“You have that I’m gonna conquer the world look on your face.” Liege snicker softly as he read his expression. Tom - no Tobias flushed out softly as he shook his head.
“No I’m am not.”
They all deadpanned at him, “Yes you are, we can tell.” They were conquerors themselves Tobias, they are not that young. It too earlier for him to tried and trick them, many later in life if he lives long enough. They hope he does, they have grown quite close to him in the last month.
