Constant head splitting headaches, random joint pains, dizziness and lightheadedness. it was symptoms I know just too well. The blue rose illness. The vile disease that robbed me of my mother.
And now I think it's coming for my life too.
My name is Ivy and I have the blue rose illness.
Funny right? I can't believe I have less than thirty days to live.
But it's true. I am dying. The pain is getting worst everyday and there is no denying it any longer.
My days are numbered and there is nothing I can do about it. After all, the blue rose sickness has no cure.
It is a death sentence.
I am going to die. I don't really like my life that much but that doesn't means I would love to die. I am still so young, I am barely eighteen in less than a week!!
I DONT WANT TO DIE.
It is a desperate prayer. Still I know better than to believe that a wandering God might just hear my wish and make it come true.
So here I am, wide awake in my room (the basement) at 2 o'clock, trying to find the best way to live the rest, short while, of my life.
It sure sounds easy doesn't it?
Unfortunately my life just isn't the best.
I am the first child, and the only child of my father and his true mate. Lovely right? No.
My mother died when I was four, my father remarried. A typical romance story, but....
Out of all the women in the world he just had to pick the one that looked like Cinderella's step mother.
Fortunately Mrs step mom only has one son, and Rowan is a very nice and cute child. I like him a lot.
His cheeks are so plumpy and pink, makes you want to touch them.
If only Mr's step mom lets me spend more time with him. *sighs.*
So as I was saying....
Now to sum it all up. I am cinderella, if not worse. And my life is miserable.
As you see, I live in a basement. No windows, dark walls, and an eerie silence.
The air is thick and it's hard to see even in daytime, and right now, I can't even see my fingers.
Now, number one of my blue rose bucket list.
1. TRASH THE ENTIRE FAMILY (with the exception of my cutie Rowan.)
2. DUMP THIER ASS AND RUN AWAY.
3. FIND A NICE TO PLACE SETTLE DOWN.
4. GET A JOB AND LIVE COMFORTABLY.
5.MAKE A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN.
6.GET A CUTE PET.
7.FIND A CUTE BOYFRIEND. (To get down dirty with.) Okay maybe I should cancel that.
8. SAY ONE LAST GOOD BYE TO ROWAN. Definitely must do. And lastly.
9. PREPARE FOR MY BURIAL.
"Now that it is all done." I massage the aching muscles, from my shoulder down to the tip of my fingers. A pained groan slip past my lips when I press hard on those core spots, hoping it would dispell the pain.
"Ahh....let's go to bed." I sighed, blindly searching for my old cover. Muttering under my breath. "I feel like tomorrow is going to be troublesome."
★★★★★★★
"Wake up you." A nagging voice came from the door, followed by a furry of knocks.
'jeez.' Rubbing on my sleepy eyes, I throw the covers off and was met with a familiar darkness.
"Get up and get ready." Sensing the movement behind the door, the maid shouts loudly.
"I heard you." I yell back in irritation.
I feel around for my top, then put it on. Preparing to go to the staff quarters to take a bath.
The maids don't normally enter my room. Not because of the respect that should be shown to the alpha's daughter. Which I am. But because the room is just to stuffy and uncomfortable.
Well once you live in it for a long time, you will start getting used to it.
Pushing the door open, i immediately come face to face with the heated glare of Ana.
The lowest maid who deals with the household errands.
"Well hurry up. Do you want to keep the Alpha waiting?" She scowls.
Tell me, why should I, a dignified daughter suffer such insults from merely servants?
Hah— because the Alpha wouldn't care. No body will.
Fortunately, I am going to die soon. I should at least have some happy moments. Right?
"Huh.....I should have slept for a bit more." I sigh in regret.
"What nonsense are you saying?" Ana's face scrunch up in annoyance, as she curse. "Didn't you hear what I said or have you gone deaf or something?"
On normal days when I get scolded, I'd cower away, or maybe apologies immediately, because that's just who I am. And even now I can even feel my hands trembling, and my heartbeat pick up, threatening to jump out of my mouth.
However, when you think about it, the worst she could do is tattle out to the head servant who would then increase the chores I have to do. Or maybe withhold my meals for the next three days.
So—"Whether I am deaf or not, I don't see how it's any of your business."
Ana stood blank. Probably in shock that I talked back at her.
Lord!! This feels good.
"Why have you suddenly turned dumb?" I ask innocently. "Are you alright?"
Bitch?
"You—what did you just say?" Ana stutter both in anger and disbelief.
Look at her pointing a finger to my face.
"Should I just bite it off." I thought.
"Surely, you haven't gone mad, have you?" Ana unconsciously moved some feet's away.
Oh.....did I said that out loud. Hah....
Just look how scared she is.
"Forget about it." I shake my hair, proceeding down the hall to take a well needed wash. "You shouldn't bother yourself with trival things like this ivy."
Hah....today might be a good day after all.
Note: Mention of suicide, there's going to be some tragedy moment and blah...blah...blah....welcome.;-)
After I finished with my bath, I return back to my room (mind me, the basement) under the watchful eyes of the servants.They must have gotten the gist and wondering what has gotten into me.I try not to roll my eyes. If it's a show you want, I will give it to you all. Let me show you what death has taught me.I gingerly pick a dress to wear. A little sad that I won't be able to admire myself since my only mirror broke a long time ago.Running my fingers down my black hair, I am once again amazed by the soft locks. I won't say it's silky, but the charcoal black hair is what I like about me the most.It's also the only thing I inherited from my mother.'mom' I guess I will be seeing her soon.Hah......I must be late. I can already imagine what's going to happen.And sure. It played out just right.Dad is sitting on the head chair. His dear wife to his right, and my dear Rowan to his left.As always, I sit on the left, leaving two chairs between me and Rowan, since that's how Mr's step
"You didn't think it would end up like this, you." A sharp pain, erupts in my stomach causing me to wince."Running your foul mouth." The kicks continue to rain down on me until a voice calls out. Stopping the proprietor."Enough." The guard spat in disgust. "I need to lock the door."Anna sent me a sneer then turn away with a huff. The door clank shut with a metallic bang sealing my fate. It hurts. It really hurts so badly. I lay on the ground unable to get up. It isn't the first time that I have been beaten this bad. Actually, I get beaten alot. I've been beaten to an even worse state than this. But this will certainly be the last. I should mark number one off the list now. There is still a lot on my mind that I want to say to those two, but I don't think I was pretty lucky to get away alive this time. I will really love to live up the thirty or so of my remaining days .So that's it for number 1 on the list. As for number two, we have to take a nap and recover first. Jeez,
Huff.less than thirty minutes later. I swipe the lingering hot sweat off my forehead with the back of my palm, drawing in a deep breath.It's done. There is no going back now.Staring at the secret door that has now been uncovered, I clench my trembling hand.The fear has my heart violently pounding against my rib cage until I can feel the blood rush up my ears.But something—just something about it—seems to wake up a part of me I never knew about.I run my tongue over my parched lips, feeling excited.It's now or never.I walk over to a secluded corner of the room. Covered with an old black cloth is a small box that contained all of my most prized possessions.Grabbing a bag, I shove the items inside, one after the other.Most things here belong to my mother, or were mine before she died.There are expensive jewelry and accessories that I plan on selling once I am out of here.There are some clothes that are decent enough to be worn outside. And.....The map.I don't know if it's r
The intense pain has me biting hard on my tongue to stifle the groans threatening to spill over my lips.Damn it. It's a lot worse than the last.I roll on my back, wrapping my arms around my stomach.Hah....it hurts. It hurts too much.Lying on the bare snow, the cold drilled into my bones, numbing some part of the pain.Hah—exactly how long will I have to bear this?Will I even be able to last the thirty days like this?The pain subsides after some minutes, leaving me with ragged breaths.I drag my weak body into the woods.I am still not out of the Dark Moon Pack's territory. There is no time for rest.But unfortunately, it seems I underestimated no man's land.It's all snow.I am freezing cold. No matter how many layers of cold I put on, the cold still clings to me unyielding.I rub my hands on my shoulders to warm myself up. It has been hours already, and although I have successfully crossed the Dark Moon Pack's border,I still haven't gone far.Have they noticed my absence?Alpha
I am caught. And trapped.I am held in a place where I have no hope of escaping. At least not with my own strength.I glance around the room I am kept in. Memorizing each detail and craving them in my head in preparation for my escape.I have done it once and can do it again."So you said you found her outside the hut?" A huge girl with short brown hair says to my capturer.She is so tall. I have never seen a lady this tall. standing from height to height with the other man.The little tiger, who was dragged along with me, lies on my lap. Fast asleep and without a care."I told you. She was standing right outside when I saw her." Dressed in light clothing, his gaze moves to me, and I tense up.Werewolves. The recognition was instinctual.What are they going to do with me?"Enough. You are scaring her." A man with white, no. Silver-long locks says. With a fair face and slightly curved eyes. He looks almost like a fairy."What do you mean? I didn't even do anything." My capturer complai
The two didn't come back until the moon was up. Reeking of sweat and blood."What happened?" Leona narrows her eye at the two."We ran into a rouge den." Royce sweeps a hand through his hair.A rouge den?"Is that why you are late?" Ruby scowls, not a single shred of worry on her face. "Hurry. Bring the meat over."She then turns to me. "Ivy. Cook.""Ah....okay.""If you need help," Darius says, but Leona cuts in."I will help.""Th—thanks." I think I should reject her, but I am scared.Don't blame me. Werewolves are very scary creatures.So the rest goes in, leaving just me and her.Uhhhh...is she going to keep staring at me?I cough awkwardly. "I will start now." Lord, she is still staring. I look around, and then an idea pops up in my head after seeing the burned-out fire. "Can you help me, please? Create another fire. To cook it."It takes almost half a minute before she gives a response. "I can.""Okay. Thanks." I use my hand to blow myself.I am sweating. Is it because of the co
My head. I rub my eyes open, blinking at the unfamiliar ceiling.Where am I?"You're awake." A sharp pain hits me when I turn my head to look at the owner of the voice.It's him!! The red-eyed guy."Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't do anything to you." He says.Huh. It feels horrible. It's like being run over by a train. Or, should I say, hit by a helicopter?I close my eyes. I don't really remember what happened. One time it was white, and then it became black, and I just switched off.Could it be the blue rose sickness? No. It can't be enough for me to pass out like that."It's the mate bond." My savior slashes the red eyes guy says.I try not to stare at his face with strands of black hair falling over his forehead, slightly opened my eyes and upturned my lips.He looks just like the devil. Undeniably handsone."You tried to break the mate-bond by rejecting me. Didn't you know that it would hurt?"I almost forgot about that. But the most important issue right now is, "
I climb down the stairs of the plane with shaky legs. The strong wind smacks my hair into my face, and a strand finds its way into my mouth.There goes my first experience ever taking a flight.And I am never doing it again."Are you okay?" Ruby asks upon seeing my blue face, and I look up.Everyone is in good shape, staring at me like I am a weird species that fell out of nowhere."I am alright." I sniff, straightening up. "I am just a little disoriented, but I am fine."It's cold. I wrap my arms around my shoulders, shivering slightly.We are here. In Russia. Where the royal Lycan's are settled.It's my first time traveling so far, and even with the nerve-wracking plane flight, it's hard not to feel excited.Now, I can really embrace the feeling that I have escaped from Alpha Luke's clutches.I am so far away from home.Emiliano grabs my hand, then frowns. "You are freezing." Looking straight at me. "At this rate, you may even die before we arrive."I snatch my hand back, my eyes tw
