"One was me, and the other was Cale's devil. His name's Ferrell."

"Well, I assumed that it was you, just didn't think it was another man."

2015-09-11 02:26:22

🌀

He blushed a little. Oh. She'd guessed. "He actually...isn't very nice. I'm not sure why I ever liked him."

2015-09-11 02:27:43

"Well I said the same thing about all my exes. Raven says it all the time too."

2015-09-11 02:29:19

🌀

"It's good that you acknowledge their low quality as relationship partners. Didn't he say he wanted to meet me?"

2015-09-11 02:30:32

●

"He does."

"Well, what better time than --" His cheap phone rang in his pocket and he answered curiously. He didn't have caller ID, so Cale's voice came as a surprise. "Get back to the shop. Ivory's drunk and we need all eyes on board." "That statement is...confusing, but how did that happen?" "No clue, just hurry up." "Am I really required there?" "Yes, come, now, bye." Then he hung up. Kinsley looked over at her regretfully. "I'm afraid I'm being passive-aggressively threatened into returning early. Can you get home okay?"

2015-09-11 02:40:53

●

"Yes, of course. Good luck!" She waved Kinsley goodbye, and then headed home.

For the first time in a long time, Ivory finally had some alone time. Even if it was just a small walk. A small breeze blew through the air. Unfortunately, the colder temperatures were fading, which meant spring was coming. Spring coming meant more time the sun was out. More sun time meant less time spent taking walks.

She took a turn down a new road. Why not? She felt adventurous today. That, and she was mostly too lost in her own little world to even realize where she was going. It was nice to just relax a little bit.

However, that calm turned into a dull worry when she sensed another vampire behind her. She looked behind her. She only saw a blond woman. Who was that...? She seemed to be minding her own business, but something seemed off about her. Wait...Oh God...did /he/ send her?

Without thinking, she broke into a run. She heard the woman's footsteps. Oh God. Oh shit. She was following Ivory. She was after her. Think! Think!

She couldn't. Her mind was just a blur, relying on instinct. Sadly, that was her downfall, if Ivory had even once looked behind her, she would of noticed the woman was gaining speed, and eventually was able to tackle Ivory to the ground and pin her there.

The woman gave Ivory a firm punch to the face, causing her nose to bleed. Fuck. Fuck. She couldn't think. She started to hyperventilate. Ivory started to tremble. Not here. Not know. Oh Fuck. This woman was going to murder her.

"Remember the name Alice." She hissed before punching Ivory again, this time in the shoulder. Pain spread down her arm. "Because that's who you will deal with when you hurt my little Spyders."

Ren was prowling the streets of New York, chasing a lead on where Dameien had gone. They held grudges like a maniac held a gun, and what they had in their grip was just as lethal. Ivory had said he was in the wrong. So he was in the wrong. And he was going to pay. That was that. Their eyes darted about, though knowing Dameien, he was unlikely to be outside on a night like this, or any night, for that matter. Across the street, they saw two blurs of movement. That speed wasn't human. One virtually blended into the night. Must be. What was she doing here? And who was the other one? Further down, they both went sprawling to the ground. There was a blonde who appeared to have won the race, and she was....hitting her. Hard. Ren's fist closed on the small knife in their pocket and they charged the woman, flicking it open. They knew better than to scream a warcry. That would be stupid. It would wake up the whole neighborhood, not to mention alert her to their presence. And nobody wanted /that/. They pulled her hair as hard as they could to pull her head back, and pressed the knife to her throat. Once they were confident she couldn't slip away, they finally spoke. "Hellooooo~ Now, what's going on /here/? You wouldn't be /hurting/ Ivory, would you? See, you've been bad. I can't have that." You'd have never heard a friendlier voice come from anyone, but as the silver words slipped past her ears, the knife tickled closer.

Ivory saw that the woman had been pulled off of her by....Ren? Oh fuck. Oh fuck they were here. They were going to get hurt too. Her head ached. Her breathing became uncontrollable. She drew her knees close her, hiding her face in her hands.

"What shall a mere /human/ do to me, hmmm?" Alice chuckled, feeling the blade on her neck.

2015-09-11 06:26:39

🌀

"This. <3" The blade dug into her throat hard, leaving a deep cut.

2015-09-11 06:28:57

●

She felt the blade dig into her neck, and blood trickled down her neck. Oh. Well then. Alice put her hand to the wound. "Well then, I didn't know she had protection."

2015-09-11 06:33:14

🌀

"You're luckyyy, another street and I might've missed you. Of course she does. I won't let you hurt.....Ivory? Ivory, are you okay?" The confidence in their voice wavered for a moment, and they twisted the knife so the tip was digging into the cut.

2015-09-11 06:36:01

●

No response. Just a small whimper was all she could force out. No matter how hard she tried, the words couldn't come out. The trembling worsened.

"Awwwe, you didn't get the memo? She's crazy~" She choked out, a slight hint of blood dripped from her lips.

2015-09-11 06:39:26

🌀

"NO, /I'M/ CRAZY, AND I'M GOING TO KILL YOU FOR HURTING HER!" They dropped her, stomped on the back of her head, and stumbled over to Ivory, falling to their knees to pick her up and grasp her to their chest. "Ivory, Ivory please, it's okay, she's not gonna hurt you, she won't, shh, I'll get you home, 'kay, is that 'kay....?"

2015-09-11 06:43:31

●

While she had her chance, Alice took off running. Now she might be insane, but she wasn't stupid enough to stick around.

Ivory felt their arms around her. She clung to Ren, able to slowly nod through their gasped trembling. Don't leave. Please don't.

2015-09-11 06:46:27

🌀

They picked her up gently like a princess, knife already returned to their pocket, but when they saw that Alice had escaped, they shouted after her "I'LL FIND YOU!!! AND I'LL KILL YOU!! DON'T THINK YOU CAN HIDE FROM /ME/!!" Then they went quiet again, walking as quickly and carefully as they could back to the shop.

2015-09-11 06:49:31

●

As they walked, she was able to calm herself down. They were okay. She was okay. No one was going to hurt either of them. She breathing slowed. "...I'm...So sorry Ren..." She manged to speak out. "I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"

2015-09-11 06:52:53

🌀

"Stop it, stop it, you didn't do anything. Nothing at all. Not even a little. How could you blame yourself? She attacked you. Not you."

2015-09-11 06:54:53

●

"But I put you in danger! Oh God. You could of gotten hurt." She grasped their shirt tightly. "Please don't leave! I'm sorry if I worried you, but please don't go!"

2015-09-11 06:57:28

🌀

"No, /never/, I'd never go." They stroked her hair. "Satan herself couldn't drag me away, it's okay, I didn't get hurt, see? I won't abandon you...." They stopped walking and just hugged her tightly.

2015-09-11 07:00:22

●

"T-Thank you!" She stuttered out, finally able to stop shaking. "Thank you so much."

2015-09-11 07:03:52

🌀

She'd calmed down a little. That was good. "Don't. It's silly to think I'd ever go anywhere. Except home. We're going home now." Then they continued to the shop. When they got there, they hesitated for a second before pushing the door open. They really, really hoped Lance and Clarenz weren't going to keep yelling at them.

2015-09-11 07:08:16

●

Of course, everything had to go from bad to worse. Of course Lance sensed Ivory having an anxiety attack, but before he could do anything, Cale had stormed in with an injured Zane, as usual demanding what the Hell was going on. However, that question was answered when Ren walked into the shop with a shaken Ivory. "I should of known /you/ were behind this!" Lance snapped they second they saw Ren's face.
