Just as his lips were about to collide with hers, she looked away, stepped back and gulped. Nah, not this time again. Absolutely not!She shook her head, looked back at him with doubt, seething rage and growing disappointed in her eyes."Ivy?" He asked then he smiled, as if he was just realizing something. "You like me but you need sometime to admit it to yourself," he chuckled. "It's okay, take all the time you need. I'm not in a hurry.""You are lying," she finally whispered."About what?""You are lying!" With that, she bolted out of the kitchen and ran up the stairs.She saw Jett on her way up but she knew she didn't have to worry about him knowing anything that happened in the kitchen or even being concerned about anything that was going on. He had his earphones plugged in, his eyes trained on the laptop he had in front of him. A mere argument in the kitchen couldn't shake his attention. Even if the world was ending, volcanoes erupting, hurricanes and tsunamis, Jett would still

Elsa eyes widened slighty in shock.That had unintentionally slipped. She looked around quickly at the murmuring crowd, then her gaze landed on that one person."Chris!"Chris didn't look happy, at all. He had stopped in his tracks when he heard her say that. "You lied to her? Amryelsa, you promised you'll help me.""This is all just a misunderstanding," she laughed nervously. "We are just playing, around. Scripts, acting and all for... a role? Right, Ivy?"She turned to Ivy for rescue but she wasn't having any of that."You lied to me. I was beating myself up for hurting you, everytime. I was working so hard to make you happy and you..." she paused, looking right at her. "You played me. You made us all your pawns and you played us.""I did for us. For peace. Can't you see?""You lied to me, Elsa. You USED me!""And you KEPT SECRETS from me!" She tackled right back."To protect you!" She threw a hand forward, pointing it to her. "All my life I've always done things, deprived myself

She kept on silently walking away.She wasn't worried about running into Jett, he was definitely busy doing something, somewhere.Finally she made it outside and slipped into the car. She would have just called Davies but it would have taken him too long to get a car here for her and by then the damage would have been done.After about thirty minutes since the ride began, her phone started ringing.She reached for it quickly.Could that be Els-- My Christopher?She didn't remember saving his contact that way. She didn't remember saving his contact at all or even requesting for it to begin with.She watched it ring till the call ended. She really didn't want to speak to him. Her phone dinged right after.A text message. It was from Chris and it read;"I know things are rocky between us..."Us? That was bold."But I need to know that you ran away and not that you were kidnapped."What a wierd question.Before she could even stop herself, she fired him back a text."Smartly avoided c

Ivy stilled to where was petrified, the laughter from the comedy she was watching a while ago now fading away into a distant noise."I'm listening.""Tell Chrslistopher to come and get his human."Just after that, she could hear Elsa shouting again."Don't listen to these crazy Fuckers, Ivy! They are not hu---" her voice cut short.Silence.Ivy's grip tightened around her phone, her breath hitched, her eyes watering with tears. "She doesn't have much time," the voice that had been speaking to her earlier said again, then line went dead.No, no, no, no, no!He didn't give her any information!She quickly tried to call back the number but it was impossible.Then she got a message.It was them.There was the address of where Elsa was, hopefully, and a warning for her not to tell anyone except Christopher. Then there was the time Elsa had left, ticking away.30 mins.***Ivy's shaky hands held the steering wheel in a death grip.She looked straight at the map on her phone, her eyes wate

"Tea might help."She heard a voice from behind and she jumped up in fear, her hand raised to her chest like as if to stop her heart from exploding out of her chest from how fast it was racing.She turned to see that there was a dark, tall man behind her, dressed like a butler. His eyes were warm, they had a glint of a brilliant red in them and they seemed to twinkle.How was it that she hadn't heard him coming?He stretched out a teacup to her."It is warm," she commented, nervously, taking the teacup from him with shaky hands. Something about his stare was absolutely unsettling."The Sire is an expert at what he does," he spoke, his voice sounding like someone who had seen too much of the world. "Your friend is safe."Safe, that sounded like a really interesting word because right now, she was starting to worry a lot about her whole safety. Then just as silently as the butler had appeared from nowhere, he disappeared.Wait, was this house hunted? She gasped, looking down at the t
