"I hate you," she thought to Zeke heatedly.
"Love you too, sugar," he sang.
"Ivy!" Raine called out quickly. "Please don't let anyone into your room unless it is your mother or me, understood?"
"Fine!" she growled, reaching her tipping point, "but I'm going to find Alexia right now and bringing her with me into the room. I refuse to be isolated!" With that she stormed off, ignoring Zeke's cheers of approval in her head. At this point she half thought she was going crazy; hearing voices in her head.
"You're not even close to crazy," Zeke reassured her, "Only marvelously adorable."
"Will you stop reading my thoughts!" Ivy snapped. After a moment she added mulishly, "and I am not adorable." Blocking out his annoying reply, Ivy quickly found Alexia, and motioned for her to follow her to her room.
"What's going on?" Alexia asked good-naturedly, following Ivy up to her room. Ivy quickly explained the situation to her, making sure to add how annoying Zeke was, knowing he could hear her.
"Dude, that really sucks," Alexia said sympathetically. I feel for you."
Ivy frowned and fell back on her bed with Alexia, "He's just so annoying."
Zeke scoffed and muttered something. "Listen, pumpkin, I'm heading out, but I'll see you soon, alright?" Ivy thought back a 'whatever' and focused her attention on Alexia. They talked about simple things around the estate, and Ivy announced that Adam had almost kissed her.
"Seriously!" Alexia squealed. "You lucky duck, and on your birthday too!" She grinned and nudged Ivy playfully. "Don't worry, Adam will be back to kiss you properly this time. You're so lucky."
Ivy laughed, "What are you talking about? You're dating Marcus and from the look of things are quite happy."
"Eh," Alexia replied with a nonchalant wave of her hand. "I guess, but he's not that exciting anymore. I don't know, he's a nice guy, but not 'the one' for me, you know?" Truth be told, Marcus was just a distraction...a filler for the guy Alexia really wanted, but would never want her back. She had to find happiness somehow.
They spent the rest of the night chatting and gossiping and eventually fell asleep in the early hours of the morning. Ivy woke up when Alexia abruptly sat up in bed at 10 am.
"Alexia? Are you okay?" Ivy asked worriedly, but she didn't answer. Instead, she got out of bed and made her way to the door. "Alexia?" Ivy asked again.
"Someone knocked," she answered in a monotone voice. Ivy heard someone knock on the door and jumped.
"Don't let them in Alexia, you know what my father said."
"Ivy?" a voice called out. "It's me, Adam. Please let me in, I just want to talk."
Alexia made her way to the door and began to turn the handle. "NO! Alexia don't open the door!" Ivy called out.
Alexia turned around to look at her and Ivy gasped. Her eyes were completely black and devoid of any emotion. "I have to," she said simply. With that she twisted the knob and threw open the door to reveal Adam. Without saying anything to him, she walked out of the room and down the hall.
"Adam you shouldn't be here right now," Ivy said hurriedly, moving to shut the door.
He looked at Ivy and grinned evilly, "Hello love."
Ivy paled and felt her entire body freeze. "Oh no," she whispered.
"Oh yes," Adam said, slowly materializing into his true form. Zeke.
"How...why...?" Ivy said flustered. "You said a week!"
Zeke smiled and leaned against the door, brushing his dark hair out of his eyes. "I did...and it has been a week. Time moves a lot faster in the demon realm."
"Bastard," Ivy hissed. "You lied."
He flinched slightly at her accusation, but otherwise didn't seem bothered. "Technically, I just didn't give you all the facts."
"I still hate you, and all of your kind!" she announced spitefully. "All you do is cause problems for everyone. You're a bunch of parasites, living off of everyone's misery and reveling in the pain. It's disgusting."
"You're so full of anger...you're perfect," Zeke said reverently, resisting the urge to reach out and cup her face in his palm.
"What...what are talking about?" Ivy asked, unconsciously tilting her body away from him.
Zeke shook his head as if to clear his thoughts and wrapped his hand around her wrist. "Come on, follow me."
"Hell no," Ivy snapped, pulling her arm back with a sharp tug. He didn't loosen his grip on her though and gave her an exasperated look.
"Either come calmly, or come kicking and screaming. It doesn't matter to me, either way we're going."
Ivy gave him a skeptical look, "Going where?"
"To fulfill your destiny, of course."
"Okay, Buddha, where am I really going?"
He smirked at her and wrapped an arm around her waist, "The demon realm."
