Zeke snarled something in a different language, sending what felt like little electric shocks throughout her brain. "I am no a coward," he said in a low voice. He seemed to compose himself before continuing in a flip tone. "Now is not the right time to see you face to face. However, since I know you can't resist me for long, I'll be there soon and we can greet each other the same way we said goodbye."
Ivy gasped in outrage and did everything in her power to not think about their last meeting. However, with a couple words, he was able to bring that dreadful-glorious-memory up to the surface.
"Ah I see you do remember our farewell," he teased lightly.
"What, you can read my thoughts now?" she hissed, trying to find a way to block her thoughts. Which is relatively hard to do. WHenver she would attempt to not think of something, it would become the thing she thought about the most.
Zeke chuckled darkly, "I'm in you're head, love, of course I can read your thoughts."
Ivy snarled and felt her claws ache to break through her skin, but she pushed down on the urge. "Well get the hell out of my head," she said snarkily.
"I can't," he replied happily. "By the way, you don't have to talk out loud for me to hear you. Remember I can read your thoughts. But, if you want your daddy to keep staring at you like you're insane, by all means continue having a conversation with yourself."
"What?" Ivy gasped, before focusing on her surroundings again. Raine was standing a couple feet away from her, staring at her like she had two heads. Noelle and Theo were next to him, watching her with worry on their faces.
"Ivy?" Raine asked carefully.
She nodded and felt tears form in her eyes. "He's back daddy," she said, hating the way she was reduced back to feeling like a helpless twelve-year old.
Raine cursed, earning a reproving look from Noelle, before walking closer to Ivy. "What has he said, sweetie?"
"Um..." she bit her lip. "Nothing too important, although he did say he was going to come meet me soon. Soon could be any amount of time with him though."
"A week," she heard Zeke said in her head.
"Oh...erm, a week," she added uncomfortably. When they gave her strange looks she flushed and said, "He just told me."
Raine's features tightened and Noelle turned pale, no doubt remembering her own experience being visited by a demon. "Can he hear everything we're saying?" Raine asked Ivy, worried about his daughter's safety. He needed to come up with some sort of plan to capture the demon before the demon got to his daughter. He was tired of having his family constantly threatened and was more than ready to put an end to it.
Ivy scrunched her brow as she mentally asked Zeke if he could hear anything everyone else was saying. He paused for a moment, as if he was going to lie, and then sighed. "Only if you think about what they say." She repeated what Zeke said to her family and waited for her father to announce the plan.
"I'm sorry Ivy," he said carefully, "but we're going to have to plan without you, and keep you in the dark. We can't risk Zeke finding out about it. It's for your own safety."
Pouting, Ivy nodded and motioned that she was going to go to her room. Her room was the only place she felt relatively safe in because it was her escape.
"Ivy dear," Noelle said softly. "Please don't leave your room unless asked by your father or I, okay?"
Ivy resisted the urge to roll her eyes, "Yes mother." For goodness sakes, she was eighteen years old, she didn't need to be put in isolation. But, if it would make her mother less worried, then she would put up with it.
