Thanks :3

I wrote a back story about her father, but it was a year ago, and I had the writing style of a begginer, so it failed even more than it would now XDDD

Awesome, I love the story. Now I'm curious about Ivey's father... sounds like an interesting character.

Good to know you're working on these again.

Spoiler:
	They have Ovaltine.

Chapter 6

My eyes flickered open, black turning to white as my eyes looked at the bright shining light on the ceiling. I didn’t know where I was. I had passed out outside, and now I was inside. Should I be worried? Should I be scared? Should I bolt out of here?

No. Not until I figure out where I am.

It was a pretty blank room. Blue walls, nothing on the walls, and nothing interesting around except… were those closed boxes? I looked at it closely. It WAS a closed box, it was a box from a moving van. This place was brand new to some family in my neighborhood, I just wondered who.

Then the door opened with a loud and obnoxious “WHAM!” and in came the person I was not to happy to see. Chris. He grumbled. “Oh, so princess finally woke up huh?” He said, his voice with question.

This was one of those people that did not keep me in a good mood. Instead of crying my little guts out I said, “Yeah, I am a princess, so get me some water you fool.” Growling, I put my hand on the back of my head. I shrugged as he growled.

“Oi, Mitsu, get the scoundrel some water will you?” He yelled out to her, his voice so loud it could probably tear through the thickest walls.

“HECK NO, GET IT YOURSELF!” She yelled back, even louder and harsher then her brothers. It was a tone that made me cringe. Chris rolled his eyes as a response and strutted out of the room muttering about something, most likely stupid. After what seemed like forever, you came back and shoved a glass of water at my hand, which willingly grabbed it.

“What the heck is your problem?” I asked, sneering and taking a drink of the cold water that felt good on my throat.

“You.” Was all he said. “Now get out of my bed, you can sleep in Mitsukai’s room until your mom gets back.”

Dumbfounded, I asked, “What?”

Chris snorted. “Your mom gets back. We know what happened. We heard it and I’m pretty sure my mom’s with her too. You know the whole “Angels must help Angels” thing?” I nodded. “Exactly, so get out.”

I shook my head. “I don’t think so. You should be kinder to your guests... Christopher.” I said, smiling cattily. He glared at me. “Anyway, I think maybe you need to get out of your… I mean… my room.”

He stood up and I knew he was going to go after he said something. “Fine, but not only am I never going to let you live this down, but do not call me by my full name.” He responded, a scowl on his pale face. I snickered and laid back in his bed, thinking that it was comfortable and… lumpy. He was hiding something under the mattress, but I was to afraid to look at it, or them or whatever.

I lay there for a while. I hadn’t hardly remembered what had happened and now I was in some jerk’s house. It was weird to me, and it must’ve been awkward for his family. I need to get out of here. I thought quickly.

Mitsukai then entered the room. She walked over to the bed and sat by the edge of it. From here I could see that she looked a lot like her brother, unkempt brown hair and red eyes that matched his. “Ivey, I have something to say to you.”

I sighed and looked away. “It’s probably something mean isn’t it?” I asked, my voice unintentionally sad.

I heard her laugh. “No, not at all!” She exclaimed. “It’s about my brother.” She said, placing a hand on the bed. “Listen, my brother is a total jerk, and I really liked how much you stuck it too him. You showed him who’s boss.” She smiled and held a thumb up. “So, thanks. If I need someone to boss him around, I’ll call you.”

I laughed. “Thanks, I’ll remember that.” I said as she smiled and left the room. Sitting back, I crossed my legs, put my arms comfortably behind my head and rested my eyes. Already it felt like it had been a really long day even though it had just started.

I decided that I needed to explore just then. I kicked my legs over the side of the bed, and carefully stood up. My leg muscles were sore from running, and I knew it would only help if I stood up and warmed them up. I looked around the room more. Just as it had been when I woke up, boring and blue. It was nothing unique but nothing out of the ordinary, just an angsty teenage boys’ room.

I walked over to the door and put my hand on the doorknob. I twisted it and the door swung open without me having to touch it. Chris’s face was inches away from mine. There was an awkward silence as we stared at each other.

I decided to speak. “Well, um this… this is awkward.” I was at a loss for words and I really had nothing to say.

Chris looked at me then said, “I uh…” he looked at the ceiling, almost like he forgot his tough side. He frowned and continued. “I uh, I mean… Hey, move it! I wanna get into my room!” He exclaimed rudely.

I laughed and stepped aside allowing him to get into his room. Chris rolled his eyes and shut the door. Taking a few steps foreword, I could see that Mitsukai’s room was right across the way. Her door was closed and she already had a sign on her door that said ‘Mitsukai’s room: Do not disturb unless door is opened.’ I let her be and looked to the left. There was a set of double doors that must’ve led to the master bedroom.

There was a staircase to the right of where I was looking and I decided to walk down it. I heard a door from either Mitsukai or Chris’s room, and I knew that it wasn’t unusual, but the sudden noise scared me and I flew down the staircase and into what looked like a kitchen.

In the kitchen there was a woman who was looking at me like I was crazy or something. She had soft blonde hair, but I could see by her roots it had been dyed to that from brown. Her eyes were a soft yet eye catching blue. She stared at me like I was an alien from another planet. Immediately I freaked out.

“Oh my god,” I whispered looking at her. “I’m so sorry,” I said louder this time, looking right at her. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”

There was laughter behind me and I immediately knew that it belonged to Chris. I turned around and looked at him. “Wow, Ivey, way to scare my mom!” He exclaimed, then walked over to his mom. “Mom, this is Ivey. Ivey, this is my mom.”

Chris’s mom laughed. “Oh goodness!” She exclaimed. “I thought you were a teenage burglar or something!” She laughed again, walked over to me and took my hand kindly. “It’s nice to meet you Ivey. I suppose I wasn’t expecting you to be up and functioning yet.” She smiled.

I shook her hand. “I guess I recover quite fast?” I said. It came out more like a question. “Are you guys new around here Mrs… um…” I didn’t know what to call her.

She smiled. “You can call me Heather. And yes, we are new here.” She said politely, then looked at the clock. “Well, I mustn’t be late for my first day of work. Chris, Devon is at work too. Be nice to Ivey. Her mother was my best friend in high school.” She grabbed her purse and walked out the door.

Chris pursed his lips. “Right, right. Like that changes anything.” He looked at me and rolled his eyes. “Alright blondie, let’s get some meat on those bones.” He chuckled.

I rolled my eyes and then looked in his refridgerator. I was amazed. “Wow, you’ve only been here a day and your fridge is already full of food. That’s quite interesting.” I pretended to stroke a fake beard.

“That’s not all!” Chris exclaimed, sounding like a TV announcer talking to someone who just won the grand prize of something. “In this lovely cabinet, we have an assorted variety of snack food, soups, canned rice, canned vegetables and other goodies!” He opened the cabinet.

I giggled and smiled. “Well thank you Vanna White, I think I’ll have a poptart or something to snack on.” With that, he stepped away and let me grab a poptart. I ate it without warming it up.

The day went on without much happening. I was living with them like there was my family. It was almost like I was an older sister to Mitsukai and a little sister to Chris. Everything was totally different from my life. It seemed so… so perfect. The time I was with them, they never fought once, and the evening was full of laughter, kindness and fun.

That night, I went to bed at the same time as Chris, realizing then that I didn’t have a room to sleep in. Mitsukai kindly offered to share her room with me. The day, though as short as it was, felt way too overwhelming, tiring and just too much happy for my life. But, I went to bed feeling happy, and I normally go to bed feeling sad.

Worst. Chapter. Ever. I know, I know.

I was listening to these songs while writing the last two pages:

Milkshake (Screamo Remix)

Fly on the Wings of Love

Code Lyoko Theme Song

Code Lyoko Theme Song (French)

Christopher raised an eyebrow rather confused at me. “Mitsukai, you became friends with her when mom specifically told you to be careful?” He asked his sister, the known well known Mitsukai.

Mitsukai sighed. “I have not become friends with Ivey Christopher dear. We just get off at the same bus stop; it’s as simple as something like that.” She told him, like I wasn’t even there.

Christopher growled at his sister angrily. “One, don’t call me Christopher, call me Chris. Damn girl, you know better.” His scowl softened into a frown. “Alright, as long as you two didn’t become Soul sista’s.” He snapped his fingers, making a wacky pose.

This gesture of his made me laugh. He glared at me. “Hey! Nobody asked you blonde menace!” He snapped, making me back away a little bit. He sneered. “Come on Mitsukai, let’s make our way home.”

The young blonde stepped on her brother’s toes. “Well, even if mother told us to not to befriend her, we can still be kind new neighbors and introduce ourselves.” I smiled. I was beginning to like this girl.

“Oh, I’m soooo sorry,” Chris said, sarcastically. “My name is Chris.” He told me.

I nodded. “My name is Ivey.” He looked as if he were about to break out into hysterical laughter. I sighed. “Before you say anything stupid, no, not like Poison Ivey or any other plant with the name Ivey in it.”

He laughed anyway and rather rudely if I may add. “Ivey? I wasn’t even thinking about plants, but thanks!” He exclaimed, wiping a tear of his away.

“Then what were you thinking?” I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.

“Ivey’s a stripper name.”

WHACK!Mitsukai and I both hit him harshly on the head.

“OW!” He whined. “Why must you beat on the only boy here on the head?”

“Because, you’re being a pervert.” I said, growling. Mitsukai nodded in agreement.

Chris growled. “I’m leaving! Mitsukai, don’t you dare befriend her!” He exclaimed, sneering and speeding away. Mitsukai sighed and followed him like I wasn’t even there. I sadly shuffled my way home. Why didn’t they like me? What did I ever do to them?

I sighed and opened up my front door and stepped inside, feeling the cool air come over me like a blanket. All I could hear was my mother watching some random show that has been on every night called “When Love Dies” or something cheesy along those lines. She looked over at me and smiled. “Welcome home kid.”

I made my way over to her and sat next to her. I sighed and looked into her eyes. “Mom, why did you like dad?” I asked.

My mom frowned and looked up. “I was attracted to him. My mistake.” She said, frowning and then looked at me.

I could feel myself frowning. I felt very hurt. “Does that mean I’m a mistake?” I asked rather sharply.

She cringed a little bit then looked at me sadly. “Ivey don’t start with that…”

“Don’t start with what!?” I yelled. “That I’m a mistake? I wasn’t wanted? I was a mistake of nature created by you and dad?!”

My mom flinched. “Ivey, please control yourself. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.” She said to me.

I sneered. “Yeah right, sure.” I said, then started my way to my room.

“Ivey! Listen to me!” She called out, her voice almost trembling. I started to feel bad so I gave her a chance and turned around. “You were a mistake yes. But I have to say, I made the best mistake in my life.” She smiled a small smile and walked over to be, pulling me into a warm embrace that just makes you think “Family”.

That was what I could remember before it all started.

It was just that same exact moment when some well dressed people burst into the house and held up their guns. My mom and I pulled away and looked at them before saying in unison, “What the hell?”

“You have the right to remain standing. All things said and done will be used against you in court.” A female said.

“Are you like, cops or something?” I asked then thought, Oops, all things said will be used against me.

“Ivey, we are officials for the Angel Academy and the Court of Angels. Don’t think we don’t know what you did. You will be sent to the Purgatory to be taught the proper ways of an angel.” She said, her tone sounding unmaused.

“So, we have the right to remain standing?” My mom asked. “Well, I have the right but you know? I don’t care!” She exclaimed throwing a punch right into her face. “Ivey run, I’ll catch up with you!” She exclaimed, fighting off the well-dressed people.

Listening to her, I ran as fast I could out of the house and down the street, not knowing quite what I was in for. As I ran, I could feel the air escaping me faster then it was coming in, and in an instant, I wasn’t breathing right at all and I needed to stop. Come on Ivey, just a little farther. I told myself, trying to keep tears falling from my eyes. I opened up my eyes and stooped. I realized I didn’t know where I was in my neighborhood. Closing my eyes I collapsed to the ground and let out a scream of pain and fear. I was alone, I couldn’t do anything.

Then, as I did this, I blanked out and fell to the ground.
