~IVY~

For the first time I'm actually asleep by midnight. There's no nightmares, no sweating and abruptly jerking up from sleep.

Oh I wish it were true. I wish I was actually sleeping peacefully with no sweating and nightmares.

Instead, my eyes are wide open as though my blood was replaced with caffeine, my body already used to being awake by this time. 12:00am is like 1:00pm for me, it's normal.

Unlike previous times, I didn't mind staying awake at night, but tonight, I wanted to actually sleep. It's tiring having your mind work all day with little rest.

I've tried even my most effective method of falling asleep, reading my ethics and history textbook, but yet nothing. I'm wide awake, sitting on my bed, staring at the full moon that shines brightly in the star filled sky.

It's one of those nights where you look at the sky and understand why people love star gazing. It's a beautiful night. Too bad I don't have someone to share it with. Roxie must be fast asleep by now. How badly do I

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   046| The Theft Plan

    ~IVY~It's another day in the library and Roxie is pretending to read about the anatomy of werewolves while I think of the Ebon Testament.I eye the cover of the book warily. “You know, if you keep using that book cover for all your erotic novels, someone is bound to suspect something.”With her face entirely hidden by the book, Roxie asks, “And how will they notice?”“Won't it be strange that you've been reading one book for straight three weeks?” I ask. “A werewolf anatomy book nonetheless. You should change the covers.”“I would've taken your advice, but no one pays attention to me in here,” Roxie answers, still reading her book. “That's why eavesdropping is easy.”I shake my head even though she can't see me. “You constantly undermine yourself Roxie, you're as popular as an average student can get. You're involved in after school clubs, part of planning committee, attend slumber parties and you have multiple friends-”“Sorry to interrupt you here, but I have just four friends. The

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   045| Forced Choice

    ~IVY~With everything I've faced one would assume I'm invincible. Well, I do like to claim I am invincible, however being hit back to back with disappointment can make a dent on that invincibility.I've taken the risk of entering the archive countless times that I literally don't have to sneak in anymore. I've entered the academy forest, I've entered a secret passageway, I've gone to the outskirts of the academy and yet I've gotten nothing.Oh there's a time I tried to get information out of Miss Altman, to see if she knows about the Ebon Testament and it's location, but ended up in a two hour fifteen minutes lecture on the dangers of poking my nose into forbidden history.I had thought listening to Ethics class was boring, but that was the worst. I was literally fighting to keep my eyes open.All these efforts yet I can't find a single clue on the Ebon Testament or anything related to my family's lineage. It's like the Ebon Testament is a lie, as though there's nothing like the Lyovl

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   044| The Hunters Close In

    ~IVY~So… I didn't find anything from the secret passageway like I initially thought.The secret passageway was just a regular old secret passageway that held secrets, but not mine. Apparently mine is harder to find. It has been carefully hidden out of plain sight, unapproachable.It's almost like the Lyovles lineage didn't exist. Like we're just a fallacy. We're being wiped out. It's as though I'm the only Lyovles alive.But I know the Ebon Testament is out there, and they're clues about my lineage. I just haven't searched at the right place yet.That's why I decided to try out a different place tonight.The academy outskirts.It smells different. Not like the clean stone halls or the candle smoke that clings to my clothes no matter how much I air them out. Out here, the air carries damp earth, crushed leaves, and something sharp that makes the back of my throat itch.Metal.I got the idea of searching out here when I heard a few students talking about it in the library. Apparently

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   043| Precarious Alliance

    ~IVY~If there’s one thing I’ve learned since coming to this academy, it’s that nothing important ever stays on the surface.Not the truth. Not danger. And definitely not secrets.That’s why I’m crouched behind a tapestry at midnight, holding a torchlight, listening to my own heartbeat echo through stone walls older than common sense.The secret passage smells like dust and something faintly metallic. The kind of smell that sticks to your clothes and refuses to leave, no matter how many showers you take. The narrow corridor curves sharply, stones uneven beneath my boots, as if the academy itself has grown tired of being straight and proper centuries ago.I found the passage by accident.Well, “accident” is generous. I followed a draft I found behind one of the library shelves in the restricted archive. A cold breath of air where there shouldn’t be one. One loose stone later, and the wall had slid open like it had been waiting for me all along.That alone should’ve scared me enough to

  • I CHOOSE HIM, BUT HE'S MY ENEMY   042| Damon's Distrust

    ~IVY~The library has become our second classroom at this point. We go there almost everyday.The academy's purpose is for its students to have access to a wide range of knowledge through reading, not to confine the students to just it's regular curriculum. But almost every student I know is doing everything but reading.The library is more of a free period, to catch up on assignments, gist and for some, to make out. Me? I'm mostly in the library to find whatever I can on the Ebon Testament and so far, I've got nothing.My last hope is checking out the room of artifacts and even that is not guaranteed. But I'm not giving up till I find it. Wherever it is, I'll find it. I have no other hope but to find it.Sitting in Roxie's and my regular spot in the reading arena, I mindlessly pick a book from a few I selected earlier.The Divine Bond Of MateshipShould a book like this be in a school library? I read the synopsis and find out it's actually not bad, it seems pretty educational.I th
