~IVY~The presence of the Ebon Testament is not a relief I thought it would be, it's like a burden. Everytime my eyes flicker to it, I'm reminded of my fate, of the injustice I'm to face. The unsaid death sentence hanging over me.Its presence in my bedroom makes the place feel depressing. I think I should return it. I don't want the book near me anymore.And to think just a few days ago I was desperate to get my hands on it, putting my life at risk countless times. I have gone great lengths for it, involving even Damon and Karl.Going to school today feels off, there's a nagging instinct that screams danger and from countless experiences, I know that my instinct is always right.I brace myself for what today might hold. I already have a curse that demands my life, how worse can today be? The bell doesn’t ring.That’s the first sign something is wrong.Instead of the sharp clang that usually sends everyone rushing down the halls like startled birds, there’s a long, low hum that vibr

~IVY~I never really thought I'd come to like Blackthorn Academy. The plan was to find the Ebon Testament, gain insight on why we were attacked and my parents killed, then know how to fight back the hunters.Sure I've heard talks of the Lyovles bloodline being cursed. But I've always treated it as what it was, a rumor.Except it's not a rumor, it's real. It's actually true. We are actually cursed. It was written plainly in the Ebon Testament.The Lyovles are not born. They awaken.Their blood binds and breaks.Their presence unravels balance.Through them, the old world ends.Only to be saved, when their life is gone.All beings gone, only to be saved when a single generation who bears the curse is wiped out.I never prepared for this outcome. I'm in a dilemma as to what to do with this information.Do I surrender myself to the hunters? Do I struggle to survive? Do I pretend I never read those sentences and put the entire paranormal world in danger? Do I leave the academy? Why do I

~IVY~I know I should wait till morning to open the book,but I just can't seem to wait. It's like being desperate to open your gift except this isn't a gift. It was rightfully stolen and what's written in it, can make or break me.Karl and Damon made me assure that I won’t open the book without them. But it's literally right there staring at me. My curiosity is getting the better of me.I'll have to lie and pretend I didn't open it.I take the Ebon Testament.The book feels heavier than it should.Not in a this-is-old-and-full-of-knowledge way. In a this-thing-knows-my-name way.I sit on my bed with my legs crossed, the Ebon Testament resting on my lap like it owns the place. My dorm room is quiet except for the low hum of the academy at night. It's way past midnight, within an hour or two the sun will rise. Everyone was asleep apart from me. I can't have peace knowing that the Ebon Testament is beside me and I haven't opened it.My fingers hover over the cover. They’re shaking. Ac

~IVY~There are times when the consequence of your actions dawns on you too late.This is the one of those moments.When Damon, Karl and I made this plan, I was hyped, ready to face any challenge head on. I thought little about the consequences then.But now that I'm about to get caught, warning bells resound in my head. The plan isn't actually foolproof as we thought. We are going to get expelled. I won't get the Ebon Testaments. I'll fail in my mission. The hunters will find me.All thoughts rush through me at once. I'm too overwhelmed to actually think of another plan. Even if I tried, there's no escaping this room. There's no hiding space here, everything is laid out openly. There isn't even a door.Everybody goes still, holding their breath as the footsteps get closer. I close my eyes, biting down my lips.Oh heavens, please let us not be caught. Please let us go scot-free.My prayers are barely heard, but it won't be bad to try this one time. If we're caught, everything will g

~IVY~The Ebon Testament.It sits in a strong glass display casing, allowing clear viewing while protecting it from dust, handling and environmental changes. I can't help but notice that the light level is low, probably to prevent it from deteriorating and fading.Unlike the other artifacts I saw in the room of artifacts, these ones here don't have labels or any information. It's just carefully covered with strong glasses and widely spaced from each other.It's hidden from the world, like no one is meant to know that they even existed.It looks old and frail, like it's older than the school itself. It stands in the middle of the room, several other rare artifacts surrounding it.Just seeing it makes something deep in my chest hum. Not loud. Not painful. Just… aware.This is what I've endured a great deal for, the reason I'm in this academy. This Ebon Testament will clear all my confusions and finally answer my questions.I can't believe this is really it. While I entirely believed

~IVY~The moon is hidden within the clouds, giving a faint glow to the environment. It's like it knows that we're about to do one of the most reckless things we've ever done, and it's helping out in the way it can.I've always been ready to do anything to get my hands on the Ebon Testament, I just didn't think I'd be taking two rivals along.As much as I would've loved to do it alone, I can't. Their help is undeniably welcomed, even if it comes with constantly playing mediator between both of them.I can somewhat understand why Damon will want to help me, Karl however, the instant volunteering threw me off guard for a second. Why would he want to help me? Because he found out about my past and he feels pity? Because we're mates? Because he genuinely wants to?I can't seem to figure it out. Why take this huge risk for someone planning to reject you?Maybe I should accept help for once without thinking of any ulterior motives, after all I desperately need to get this Ebon Testament. Wi
