Ivy laid in Drake’s arms, he felt comforting to her, something about him was different. He didn’t feel dark like he did before. She wasn’t sure if it was because of the dark magic finally working or because she was accepting what she was becoming. The whispering was still around, she wasn’t sure if Drake could hear it, but he continued to stroke her arms, he was whispering something but she couldn’t focus on it. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, but the whispering started to get louder again.
Jerking her eyes opened, she tried covering her eyes, but Drake grabbed her arms. “What’s wrong?”
Ivy’s head started to spin, she didn’t want this to continue, she thought about running into a wall and knocking herself out to make them stop screaming. She thought she was going c
Ivy woke up, she was dazed and confused but she was relaxed and rested. Drake brought in some breakfast he smiled when she opened her eyes. “What happened last night, why do I feel so good?” she said rubbing her body, it tingled. “I gave you a nice massage, you don’t remember?” he said sitting next to her. “You were going crazy, you were scared.” He said touching her face. “But I am glad you were able to rest, you were whimpering in your sleep. I was here most of the night, I thought you were having nightmares.” “I don’t remember.” She said shaking her head. “I do know that I am starving.” She said looking at the food. “Good.” He said pu
“Ivy, you’re telling me you don’t want kids?” Drake asked. “Not right now I don’t,” Ivy said shaking her head. “I do when I am out of school and have a house and husband and all of that.” She said looking at him. “Are you telling me this whole thing is to get me pregnant and all of that?” “Yes.” He said looking at her. “I mean it could happen, but most times it takes a while.” “So, what happens during this ritual?” she said folding her arms across her chest. “Don’t tell me, because it’s not happening, you already told me you weren’t going to force me to do anything so.” She said walking away from him, this time he stood there and watched her try and find her way back to her room.  
Drake leaned in and kissed her, they kissed passionately, he wanted to fuck her, but she was still too weak to, so he would wait. He would before they went to school. Her sex drive will be in overdrive, so getting her pregnant wasn’t going to be a problem, he was going to get what he needed from her before she turned into the White Dweller. At the end of the three years, she would choose which phase she liked better, he hoped she would choose him, but the way she acted last night, he knew she wouldn’t. his baby would end up with him because her memory of being dark would fade so she wouldn’t remember their time or the baby. Pulling away from her, “how are you feeling now?” “Horny.” She giggled. “No, I feel better.” She said looking down at herself. “What am I wearing?”
Ivy wanted to see Nick again, the look in his eyes made her hurt inside. He wanted to touch her, she wanted to touch him, but she felt his energy. She could tell he wasn’t good for her anymore. She wondered why he mentioned a baby was she pregnant or was she supposed to have a baby with everything that was going on? “Am I pregnant Drake?” she said looking at him. “Not yet.” Drake half-smiled. “But before you leave my side you will have had a child, it’s how this works.” “I told you I don’t want children, at least not yet.” She said pacing in front of him. “I don’t want kids; you cannot force me to have children.” “But we Dwellers will ha
Monday morning came quicker than Ivy wanted, Drake taught her how to teleport in between realms, it was easier said than down, but she was able to understand it. They practiced all day, and she was able to do it quite easily after about two hours of doing it. “Are you ready to see your boyfriend?” Drake taunted. “No, he hates me.” Ivy snapped at him. “Don’t try and get friendly with him, remember he is going to try and kill you. If he touches you, he can send you to their prison.” Drake warned. “Don’t be stupid and get yourself caught because they will not be nice to you.” He said grabbing his bag. “Just meet me at lunch and I’ll introduce you to the rest of the crew.” He said kissing her chest. “
Ivy followed Drake out to his SUV, she wanted to walk, she had more thinking to do, but that had to wait until she was home alone. She looked out the window, she was glad Draven didn’t say anything the entire ride to her house. “Thanks for the ride.” She said getting out of the car. “Wait.” He said getting out of the car. “I have to make sure he isn’t here.” Ivy rolled her eyes. “He isn’t.” “Drakes orders, we don’t need to lose you.” He said opening the door before she could say no. “Wait here while I check the place out.” Ivy didn’t do what he said, she walked into the
They had a nice dinner, Drake kept Ivy calm for the evening. He didn’t talk anymore about the Council. Ivy was more nervous about seeing Nick tomorrow. He was afraid he would accidentally mention Ivy to his parents and they would mention her to the Council and things would go south from there. She couldn’t sleep, so she got out of bed and stood by the window and watched the stars and the moon. She wished she could get her answers from someone that she trusted, but there was no one, and that scared her. “Ivy come back to bed,” Drake said opening his eyes. “You’re thinking too much.” “If you were in my situation, I think you would be the same way.” She said without looking at him. “I don’t want to go with t
“Who is he?” Ivy whispered. “One of the Council members on our side, so they might already know.” “Yes, they do know.” He said glancing back. “They also know what you are planning or planned to do.” He said as they continued to walk. “Where are we going?” Drake asked. “To meet the Council.” He said stopping at a black limo. “We’ve known about you since you were born Ivy. Your parents thought it was fine for you to be protected and kept in the dark, and they also thought keeping us in the dark about you was safe. That was mainly the reason they were killed, had they come to us we would have been more prepared to protect you.” &nbs
Samuel didn’t want to answer him on that one, but he was right. If the dark dwellers surrendered to the white dwellers then it would be over for everyone. But hell he didn’t care; he was tired of this game. Ivy listened to the fighting; it was dying down so she knew it was almost time for her to die. She didn’t want to, but she wasn’t going to have a choice in the matter. “Quinn?” she whispered, hoping he was still alive. “I’m still alive, are you okay?” “I’m dying slowly still but something is coming and I don’t know what it is.” She said wanting to touch him but h
Ivy wanted to get up and kill him; if it wasn’t for him she would have had a safe life. Well, it was her fault since she wanted to go out and take a walk. But she only was out for a little while. She didn’t do anything wrong that night, and he just happened to be there. “So your greed is what made you kill my life.” She said getting to her knees again. “So I am going to give you a little reminder of what you’re not getting.” She said sitting up. “You see my son bound my powers.” She said almost wanting to stand but her body was gone. “Oh look she might have some fight in her.” He laughed. “Don’t bother, because they are coming now.&
“You seem so sure for yourself.” Elder John growled. “But yet no one has come around to try and stop me from doing what I have done to you.” He said looking down at her. “You are almost ready to go outside, once there the war will start. Everyone will come and try and take you this is going to become a fun and entertaining game.” Ivy wanted to show him that she was stronger than he gave her credit for, but she was still strapped down to the table, and he wasn’t about to let her try and get up. Her body burned from all the torture and she was already coughing up blood. She knew her time was limited. She wanted to reach out to Quinn to tell him this was all a trap and that he would die if he came to her. She didn’t want to see another one die for her. She felt powerless but she didn’t want a
Ivy tried fighting Samuel when he strapped her down to the table but he was stronger than she was. Ivy tried biting him, but Samuel was a lot faster than he was and he was able to finish strapping her down before Elder John came downstairs. “She strapped down?” Elder John asked coming down with a few more people. “Yeah,” Samuel said moving away from Ivy. “She awake?” he asked touching her face. “Good I want her to experience every painful moment.” He said checking her eyes. “Stay with us, Ivy.” He said putting the dagger next to her head. “I want Quinn to feel this too; you said he bound himself to her correct?”&nb
Ivy still was afraid about what was coming; she wasn’t sure where they were going to do this ritual and who was going to be there. She wanted to be strong, but she was alone in all of this, she wish she had the strength to run but she couldn’t. Samuel touched her face, he wanted to kiss her, something about her made him attracted to her. Closing his eyes, he had to stay focused; he knew Elder John wouldn’t allow him to feel for her. “Are you ready to go and see Elder John?” Samuel said moving away from her. Ivy looked down at her hands, she didn’t want to face the beast, but she knew he wouldn’t wait for her all day. She had to go through this whether she was willing or not. Closing her eyes she thought about her life before this. She
Ivy jerked her eyes open, the sun was shining through the window. She wasn’t sure what time it was. She sat up, the room was still spinning so she didn’t bother to try and get out of bed until Samuel came into the room with the tea. He didn’t come for a few hours and when he did he didn’t say anything. She drank the tea without much effort; Samuel helped her out of bed. She managed to walk down the stairs with help, but she still felt like crap. She tried to reach Quinn but he didn’t respond to her. The house was a lot less noisy today, she didn’t mind that. She wanted to go outside and see if she could get some air, but she knew she wouldn’t get that, so she didn’t bother to ask. 
Ivy’s hands trembled; she didn’t want to do what they wanted. She wanted to get up and show them that they had no control over her. But her body was weak, she was weak. She was barely able to drink the tea without help from Marcie. Marcie hugged Ivy, “I’m sorry they are doing this to you.” She whispered. “Then help me get out of here, help me get to your son,” Ivy whispered. “Get up.” Samuel grabbed Ivy pulling her to her feet. “You need to eat something and you need a bath.” He said pulling her out of the room. “We’re going to the kitchen; today you are going to eat something more than the soup.” He said impatiently. “I
Ivy opened her eyes; the room was bright, meaning the sun was up. She was still weak but she was able to sit up on her own. “Quinn?” she quizzed to see if she could hear him. “Yeah love, are you okay?” he questioned. “I feel weird still, but was I dreaming?” she said looking around. “No, I don’t know what they have planned for you, but you need to get away from them as soon as you can. I will let Nick go, but you have to come back to me.” “I still don’t trust you either,” Ivy said pushing the covers off o
Ivy opened her eyes; she wanted everything to be a dream. She wanted to be lying next to Nick and everything to be back to normal, but she was in a dark room. She wasn’t sure if she would have enough strength to get out of bed, but she needed to find out if they found out any more information on the whereabouts of Nick and if Quinn had tried to attack them again. Getting out of bed, the room started to spin, so Ivy sat down for a moment to regain her ground. She wasn’t sure why she felt drugged but it didn’t matter. Getting to her feet she felt for the wall, and then for the doorknob. Slowly pulling open the door, the house was dark and she didn’t hear anyone moving around or talking. She still felt very weak, but she continued along the wall in hopes
