2024-10-29 19:42:56Constant head splitting headaches, random joint pains, dizziness and lightheadedness. it was symptoms I know just too well. The blue rose illness. The vile disease that robbed me of my mother.
And now I think it's coming for my life too.
My name is Ivy and I have the blue rose illness.
Funny right? I can't believe I have less than thirty days to live.
But it's true. I am dying. The pain is getting worst everyday and there is no denying it any longer.
My days are numbered and there is nothing I can do about it. After all, the blue rose sickness has no cure.
It is a death sentence.
I am going to die. I don't really like my life that much but that doesn't means I would love to die. I am still so young, I am barely eighteen in less than a week!!
I DONT WANT TO DIE.
It is a desperate prayer. Still I know better than to believe that a wandering God might just hear my wish and make it come true.
So here I am, wide awake in my room (the basement) at 2 o'clock, trying to find the best way to live the rest, short while, of my life.
It sure sounds easy doesn't it?
Unfortunately my life just isn't the best.
I am the first child, and the only child of my father and his true mate. Lovely right? No.
My mother died when I was four, my father remarried. A typical romance story, but....
Out of all the women in the world he just had to pick the one that looked like Cinderella's step mother.
Fortunately Mrs step mom only has one son, and Rowan is a very nice and cute child. I like him a lot.
His cheeks are so plumpy and pink, makes you want to touch them.
If only Mr's step mom lets me spend more time with him. *sighs.*
So as I was saying....
Now to sum it all up. I am cinderella, if not worse. And my life is miserable.
As you see, I live in a basement. No windows, dark walls, and an eerie silence.
The air is thick and it's hard to see even in daytime, and right now, I can't even see my fingers.
Now, number one of my blue rose bucket list.
1. TRASH THE ENTIRE FAMILY (with the exception of my cutie Rowan.)
2. DUMP THIER ASS AND RUN AWAY.
3. FIND A NICE TO PLACE SETTLE DOWN.
4. GET A JOB AND LIVE COMFORTABLY.
5.MAKE A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN.
6.GET A CUTE PET.
7.FIND A CUTE BOYFRIEND. (To get down dirty with.) Okay maybe I should cancel that.
8. SAY ONE LAST GOOD BYE TO ROWAN. Definitely must do. And lastly.
9. PREPARE FOR MY BURIAL.
"Now that it is all done." I massage the aching muscles, from my shoulder down to the tip of my fingers. A pained groan slip past my lips when I press hard on those core spots, hoping it would dispell the pain.
"Ahh....let's go to bed." I sighed, blindly searching for my old cover. Muttering under my breath. "I feel like tomorrow is going to be troublesome."
★★★★★★★
"Wake up you." A nagging voice came from the door, followed by a furry of knocks.
'jeez.' Rubbing on my sleepy eyes, I throw the covers off and was met with a familiar darkness.
"Get up and get ready." Sensing the movement behind the door, the maid shouts loudly.
"I heard you." I yell back in irritation.
I feel around for my top, then put it on. Preparing to go to the staff quarters to take a bath.
The maids don't normally enter my room. Not because of the respect that should be shown to the alpha's daughter. Which I am. But because the room is just to stuffy and uncomfortable.
Well once you live in it for a long time, you will start getting used to it.
Pushing the door open, i immediately come face to face with the heated glare of Ana.
The lowest maid who deals with the household errands.
"Well hurry up. Do you want to keep the Alpha waiting?" She scowls.
Tell me, why should I, a dignified daughter suffer such insults from merely servants?
Hah— because the Alpha wouldn't care. No body will.
Fortunately, I am going to die soon. I should at least have some happy moments. Right?
"Huh.....I should have slept for a bit more." I sigh in regret.
"What nonsense are you saying?" Ana's face scrunch up in annoyance, as she curse. "Didn't you hear what I said or have you gone deaf or something?"
On normal days when I get scolded, I'd cower away, or maybe apologies immediately, because that's just who I am. And even now I can even feel my hands trembling, and my heartbeat pick up, threatening to jump out of my mouth.
However, when you think about it, the worst she could do is tattle out to the head servant who would then increase the chores I have to do. Or maybe withhold my meals for the next three days.
So—"Whether I am deaf or not, I don't see how it's any of your business."
Ana stood blank. Probably in shock that I talked back at her.
Lord!! This feels good.
"Why have you suddenly turned dumb?" I ask innocently. "Are you alright?"
Bitch?
"You—what did you just say?" Ana stutter both in anger and disbelief.
Look at her pointing a finger to my face.
"Should I just bite it off." I thought.
"Surely, you haven't gone mad, have you?" Ana unconsciously moved some feet's away.
Oh.....did I said that out loud. Hah....
Just look how scared she is.
"Forget about it." I shake my hair, proceeding down the hall to take a well needed wash. "You shouldn't bother yourself with trival things like this ivy."
Hah....today might be a good day after all.
Note: Mention of suicide, there's going to be some tragedy moment and blah...blah...blah....welcome.;-)

After I finished with my bath, I return back to my room (mind me, the basement) under the watchful eyes of the servants.They must have gotten the gist and wondering what has gotten into me.I try not to roll my eyes.

"You didn't think it would end up like this, you." A sharp pain, erupts in my stomach causing me to wince."Running your foul mouth." The kicks continue to rain down on me until a voice calls out. Stopping the proprietor."Enough." The guard spat in disgust. "I need to lock the door."Anna sent me a sneer then turn away with a huff. The door clank shut with a metallic bang sealing my fate. It hurts. It really hurts so badly. I lay on the ground unable to get up. It isn't the first time that I have been beaten this bad. Actually, I get beaten alot. I've been beaten to an even worse state than this. But this will certainly be the last. I should mark number one off the list now. There is still a lot on my mind that I want to say to those two, but I don't think I was pretty lucky to get away alive this time. I will really love to live up the thirty or so of my remaining days .So that's it for number 1 on the list. As for number two, we have to take a nap and recover first. Jeez,

Huff.less than thirty minutes later. I swipe the lingering hot sweat off my forehead with the back of my palm, drawing in a deep breath.It's done. There is no going back now.Staring at the secret door that has now been uncovered, I clench my trembling hand.The fear has my heart violently pounding against my rib cage until I can feel the blood rush up my ears.But something—just something about it—seems to wake up a part of me I never knew about.I run my tongue over my parched lips, feeling excited.It's now or never.I walk over to a secluded corner of the room. Covered with an old black cloth is a small box that contained all of my most prized possessions.Grabbing a bag, I shove the items inside, one after the other.Most things here belong to my mother, or were mine before she died.There are expensive jewelry and accessories that I plan on selling once I am out of here.There are some clothes that are decent enough to be worn outside.

The intense pain has me biting hard on my tongue to stifle the groans threatening to spill over my lips.Damn it. It's a lot worse than the last.I roll on my back, wrapping my arms around my stomach.Hah....it hurts. It hurts too much.Lying on the bare snow, the cold drilled into my bones, numbing some part of the pain.Hah—exactly how long will I have to bear this?Will I even be able to last the thirty days like this?The pain subsides after some minutes, leaving me with ragged breaths.I drag my weak body into the woods.I am still not out of the Dark Moon Pack's territory.

I am caught. And trapped.I am held in a place where I have no hope of escaping. At least not with my own strength.I glance around the room I am kept in.

A huge girl with short brown hair says to my capturer.She is so tall. I have never seen a lady this tall. standing from height to height with the other man.The little tiger, who was dragged along with me, lies on my lap. Fast asleep and without a care."I told you. She was standing right outside when I saw her." Dressed in light clothing, his gaze moves to me, and I tense up.Werewolves. The recognition was instinctual.What are they going to do with me?"Enough.

The two didn't come back until the moon was up. Reeking of sweat and blood."What happened?" Leona narrows her eye at the two."We ran into a rouge den." Royce sweeps a hand through his hair.A rouge den?"Is that why you are late?" Ruby scowls, not a single shred of worry on her face. "Hurry. Bring the meat over."She then turns to me. "Ivy. Cook.""Ah....okay.""If you need help," Darius says, but Leona cuts in."I will help.""Th—thanks." I think I should reject her, but I am scared.Don't blame me. Werewolves are very scary creatures.So the rest goes in, leaving just me and her.Uhhhh...is she going to keep staring at me?I cough awkwardly. "I will start now." Lord, she is still staring. I look around, and then an idea pops up in my head after seeing the burned-out fire. "Can you help me, please? Create another fire. To cook it."It takes almost half a minute before she gives a response. "I can.""Okay. Thanks." I use my hand to blow myself.I am sweating. Is it because of the co

My head. I rub my eyes open, blinking at the unfamiliar ceiling.Where am I?"You're awake." A sharp pain hits me when I turn my head to look at the owner of the voice.It's him!! The red-eyed guy."Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't do anything to you." He says.Huh. It feels horrible. It's like being run over by a train. Or, should I say, hit by a helicopter?I close my eyes. I don't really remember what happened. One time it was white, and then it became black, and I just switched off.Could it be the blue rose sickness? No. It can't be enough for me to pass out like that."It's the mate bond." My savior slashes the red eyes guy says.I try not to stare at his face with strands of black hair falling over his forehead, slightly opened my eyes and upturned my lips.He looks just like the devil. Undeniably handsone."You tried to break the mate-bond by rejecting me. Didn't you know that it would hurt?"I almost forgot about that. But the most important issue right now is, "

I climb down the stairs of the plane with shaky legs. The strong wind smacks my hair into my face, and a strand finds its way into my mouth.There goes my first experience ever taking a flight.And I am never doing it again."Are you okay?" Ruby asks upon seeing my blue face, and I look up.Everyone is in good shape, staring at me like I am a weird species that fell out of nowhere."I am alright." I sniff, straightening up.

Time for what?He steps out of the building and I start to smell the distinct smell of fuel.He—he wants to set the place on fire!!Before I can think, a fire starts to pick up from a far head, advancing with an alarming speed."Rowan, wake up Rowan." I try to wake Rowan awake, the smoke slipping into my lungs. "Rowan. Rowan. Please Rowan. Wake up we need to leave this place."I try to drag him, hoping to get far away from the fire as I can, but my strength falls behind.I look around. The fire has managed to surround us in such short time and is closing in, leaving us no way to escape."Help." I hug Rowan to my chest, screaming.

I open my eyes at the sound of the noisy creaking of the door.Gaze darting around in a daze.Huh—I wipe my sore eyes, sitting up. I must have fallen asleep while crying."My lady are you awake?" I hear Athena's father's voice from outside the door.I stay still, hesitating on what to do."If you dont come out, I will have no choice but to come in myself my lady." He says as if knowing I am awake.Right. With his werewolf senses I am sure he can tell.Reluctantly, I drag my weak body down the bed and slowly move to the door.He was standing there, a blank expression on his face as he says.

It's been two days that I have been locked here.Everything feels like a dream.It's hard to believe what Athena's father said about the blue rose illness and it's relation with the sirens.If it is true, then did Alpha Luke know?He said he couldn't save her, that there was no cure to the blue rose illness—or he just lied.If letting my mom go back to the sea would save her why didn't he?Why did he let her die that son of a bitch!!He must have known. He did know.He killed her.I close my eyes pressing down on the swirling thoughts in my head.Those doesn't matter for now.I need to get out here first, and then—i will drag that bitch to death with me.Knowing that there will be no one coming to my rescue dims my chances of ever leaving here alive.Since I packed my things with me everyone must be thinking I ran away. Well I did. But see where it landed me.Maybe I shouldn't have run away. I should have just told Emilliano and—"Huh—forget about it. It is too late to show regrets."

My vision is met by a bland darkness when I open my eyes.The rough feeling of the hard, uneven ground against my back inflicts a sharp pain on my spine, and I shuffle for a while before been able to sit upright.It takes about a minute for my eye sight to adjust to the blinding dimness in the room I am in.The ceiling goes high, a natural curved surface without any colour. Looking around the tomb like space gives me the same feeling as when I was in my basement room at Alpha Luke's pack.I drag myself to my feet, the light dizziness weighing on my shoulder.The last thing I remember is that I was on my way to my escape from Emilliano. And then—i scrunch my brows, racking my head.And then—footsteps—Someone came from behind me and that is where it stopped.The air has a messy smell of dust and age, from the corner I am, I can faintly make out the shape of a square shape—chamber like thing in the middle of the room.It gives off a weird feeling and I wouldn't be needing the alarms g

The moment I am out of the queen's palace, I quickly rush back to my room.I can't let her arrangements ruin my plan of escaping. I need to leave today!I sit on the bed, hugging the small bag back in my arms.Time tick by slowly, and I keep glancing at the small, pink clock next to the bed.The moment the small hand is on the number nine and it is just twenty minutes before the count of ten, I stand up. Taking a survey glance around the room.This will be my last time here.I place the letter I wrote inside the closet, which is not easy, and also not hard to find.I strap the bag on my back, walk out of the door with tensed nerves, and proceed to walk towards the direction of Ruby's room, hoping I can fool whoever I don't know is watching.Taking in a deep breath, I glance around secretly from the side of my eyes before swerving into a dark corner.I enter into the utility room Emilliano took me to last time, change out of my outfit and into a different one, put my bag into a already
