I was rushed to Diamond Hospital where my dad worked as a doctor. Deaban and my mom were informed, and they rushed down to the hospital.
Ivy POV
I opened my eyes, to find myself in front of an ancient castle surrounded by dark clouds in the middle of nowhere. The castle was very tall, with windows high up, it felt so creepy as my hands were filled with goose pimples, I looked around trying to find an exit place, but I couldn't even figure out how I got there, "I should look around” I thought to myself as I walked towards the entrance. I saw a big wooden gate. "Finally, where is this place?” I couldn't stop thinking about it.
As I got closer to the gate I saw two weird-looking horses standing by it. What kind of a horse is that? I walked closer but froze in fear, it wasn't a normal horse but a creature with a half-human body and half-horse guiding the entrance. I was unable to scream, so they wouldn't hear me, I ran back to hide behind a massive wall, and as I ran I stumbled on a stone and fell hard, I screamed in pain but quickly closed my mouth with my hands, hot tears flowed down my cheeks I stood up In fear thinking the creatures were already near me, but then I noticed that they couldn't see me. I stood up, but strangely, I could walk perfectly. I looked down to check the injury, but it wasn't there.
"How can the big injury I saw just now disappear?” I asked myself. “I must be in a magical castle, but magic doesn't exist in real life”, I thought aloud. "I should find out more about this place", I said as I sneaked past the creatures into the castle, I opened the door and saw a massive passage with different rooms and huge, high stairs. It was dark, but I didn't have any trouble seeing it.
The first room I saw was filled with different creepy statues of dragons arranged in a circle with the largest at the center. It had long horns, pointed teeth, long sharp claws, massive wings, and big scary eyes. I immediately left the room, and as I had my heart in my mouth, I was so afraid that I didn't bother to see what was in the remaining rooms, I climbed the stairs filled with foul smells and had numerous cobwebs. I looked through the cracks in the wall and saw three muscular-looking men, but instead of human heads, they had the heads of a lion.
I ran upstairs and got to another large room which seemed like the throne room. A tall lady with very black long hair, long nails, and eyes like that of a wolf, who was wearing a long black laced gown came into the room followed by another fat woman. She was short unlike the First Lady, she also had long hair, nails, and long pointed ears that extended above her head, she appeared to be the first lady's maidservant because of the way she addressed her.
“That must be the magician,” I said quietly to myself. I was far from where they were, but could hear what they said clearly.” Mi lady it's time for your supper” she said. “Bring it in,” the first lady, who I think is the queen, answered. A creature that had huge eyes, a long pointed nose, and a long tongue that came out of its mouth brought a young human boy about the age of 10 into the room. The queen came close to the boy, and sniffed In the air around the boy “This one is fresh” she said, "of course your Highness, he was recently captured” the servant answered. The queen placed her hands on the boy's shoulder and pierced her nails down causing blood to gush out, the young boy screamed, and she transformed into a lady-like creature which instead of hair she had venomous terrifying snakes on her head and instead of legs she had long tail like that of a big black cobra, she then opened her mouth as though she wanted to inhale air, but then she was sapping away the soul of the boy, the boy held his neck as he gasped for air.
She dropped the dead body of the boy, who had turned black and hard like stone. When she finished and transformed back into her former self. I could hear the sound of my heartbeat, as fear gripped me and I couldn't move, she turned in my direction and looked me straight in the eyes, I screamed and immediately opened my eyes, and saw myself in the hospital with my Mom and Dad beside me, tears flowed down my eyes as I screamed in pain and panted furiously.
My body felt like I was in a volcano, and the molten lava pierced and burnt my skin, I couldn't alter any words but only screamed in pain. Mom held me and patted my head, "It was only a dream” she said with a sad tone. After a few minutes, which felt like an eternity to me, the pain subsided and started crying more “Mom she saw me, she is going to kill me Mom” I said in tears. “No one is ever going to kill you” Dad replied, “you… don't understand, the woman with snake hair and cobra-like tail saw me, she sapped the boy's soul and killed him,” I said, shivering in fear. “Dad is here. Nobody can harm my little angel, take this drug. It will calm you down” Dad said as he handed me the glass of water and the drug. I took the drug and soon later I began to feel drowsy and fell asleep.
Deaban POV
"Honey, what's wrong with Ivy? What's she talking about? My wife asked in tears. Don't worry, she will be fine” I replied. “That has… No, It must have been Linda Ivy saw, her demon self must be awakening”, I said to myself.
Lydia is the queen of the demonic world, which comprises the water realms and Land realms. She has two mates, Lord Rayon, ruler of the water realms, and Lord Morgan, ruler of the land realm. She is the most powerful demon as she is a direct descendant of Lucifer, leader of the fallen angels, she is prominent for her ability to bring chaos and wreak havoc on both the demonic world and the human world. Witches are weaker creatures than demons, they could foresee the future of humans and demons, and they are mostly servants to powerful demons.“Your Highness, you look worried, is anything the matter? Perry, my maidservant asked. "I saw someone strange when we were in the throne room” I answered. "Who did you see? Perry asked, "I saw someone who looked exactly like Deaban, but it was a girl", I said almost in thought. "It must be because today is the seven hundred thousand years of the merging of both realms which coincides with the two hundredth anniversary of Deaban's banis
Moms' POV The past few days have been horrible as Ivy has been unconscious since we returned from the hospital. Her doctor said nothing was wrong with her.”Honey what's wrong with Ivy?, she has been unconscious for two days, am terrified" I told Deaban looking dejected.”Don't worry, she will be fine, let's be optimistic” Deaban replied. I let out a faint smile as I watched Ivy lying on her bed. Ivy moved a little on her bed, and opened her eyes, ”Ouch my head hurts badly,” she said, placing her hand on her head. ”What's wrong sweetie?” I asked, “My head is spinning very fast, my body feels so weak, and I'm freezing” she answered still holding her head and shivering.”Honey do something you are a doctor" I shouted to Deaban who quickly rushed upstairs into Ivy's room, with drugs, which he gave to Ivy. ”Bring me more blanket honey, sweetie don't worry you will be fine I promise,” he said to Ivy.Deaban's POV Ivy's demon self has been awakened since she is a half-demon a
After breakfast, I entered Mom's Lexus 350 as we both drove to school quietly,” what did you do to your hair? Mom said, “nothing Mom” I replied, "it's pretty” she said with a bright smile, I pulled down the mirror” wow mom it isn't pretty”. “Sweetie you look pretty in anything” she answered. I know mom was just trying to lift the mood, "mom, can't I just continue going to school with dad? I asked, “No dear, you are grounded. I will drop and pick you up from school and that's final if you continue going with your dad, he will always give in to whatever you say” Mom answered with a serious look. I put on my earphones, so I won't hear whatever she was going to say."Bye sweetie, see you after school” she said, “biomom I answered with a frown on my face. Mom can be annoying sometimes, I thought to myself as I entered the school compound.Lisa waits up” I shouted to Lisa who was ahead of me, “Ivy!!!!!” Lisa shouted as she ran and hugged me," What happened to you? I called you, but your mom
Ivy's' POVI managed to get to the laboratory on time, Ryan saw me and smiled.” wow!!! So, he knew what he did” I said, shaking my head “Ivy have you seen your partners? Lisa asked, “no I haven't” I replied, "check the notice board,” she said to me, I walked towards the notice board “gosh!! Not Jira, I checked for the rest of the members “Ohhh, Ryan” I smirked and walked towards him. “Hey we are in the same group,” I told him, “I Know” he answered coldly. “ What's wrong with this one, anyway, nobody can resist my charm,” I said to myself. “Okay class, since you all have been divided into your various groups, you guys are going to carry out a titration” Our chemistry teacher Miss Rita, a fat, short lady with a small nose and small eyes, short brown hair had bangs. Why did she even put Jira in my group” I wondered. "Hi Ryan, I am Jira” she said, tucking her hair behind her ear and smiling, "nice to meet you", Ryan said as he extended his hands for a shake. “You are handsome,” she sai
Ivy's POV “They must be mistaken, " I said to myself. I lay on my bed and began to cry. I could hear what the ad and mom were saying in the sitting room. "You shouldn't have told her,” Mom said “She would have found out eventually,” Dad replied. “It can't be true, I cried harder, but then, it explained why I found the blood sweet, and the changes in my hair. “How am I going to go to college, everyone will run away from me, Ryan won't even look at me and maybe one day I will end up killing my mom and my friends” Different scary thoughts kept coming to me, and fear grew within me, "No...no I won't kill anyone like that lady in my dream, I should better end my life,” I said ad mist tears. I brought out a long scarf from my wardrobe, I climbed a chair in my room and hung the scarf on my ceiling fan, placed my neck on it and kicked the chair. “Arghhh” I couldn't breathe, I gasped for air, and I pulled the scarf “Bang!!!” and to my surprise, both the scarf and the ceiling fan, a
Lydia's POV“I must find that blue-eyed demon,” I mumbled to myself in anger.” "Perry sent a message to all our warriors in both land and water realms, I want to have a meeting with them now” I shouted. “Yes milady” she answered, “Wait, inform the old witch that I need to see her now,” I added. I couldn't sit, I walked to and fro, lost in thought. “I have searched all through the underworld but to no avail, a blue-eyed demon was never found, and so I believed that the prophecy was just to scare me but seeing that it has been repeated after a space of 200 years means it must be real. “Milady, you sent for me,” the old witch said, bringing me back. “Yes," I said, trying not to act surprised, “I want you to find how and where the demon is located,” I continued. “But your Highness we have done that before” the old witch answered, “I don't care, do it again we might get a clue, I want to avoid leaving any stone unturned” I answered. “Yes, your highness,” she said as she left. “Milady, the
Deaban's POVI left ivy's room and went into my study. “I need to train ivy for our mission” I thought aloud, it felt like yesterday when I was banished. I strayed in thought as I remembered our encounter. “Lord Maximus, everything is set, the soldiers are already in their position, we just need to wait for the right time to strike” I said to Lord Maximus who was King Tagon elder brother and Lydia's uncle. "Assemble all our supporters in the secret chamber, we have to discuss how we will start the attack” he replied. “Yes sir” I answered.The secret chamber was in a hidden cave, far into the dark woods close to a volcano, demons dread going there because sunlight reaches the top of the mountain, which could cause them to die. Lord Maximus and other lords entered and sat round the massive table. “You all know that Tagon stole my right to be king, as he is my younger brother, and so I must get it back. Deaban give us the details of how we should go about it,”Lord Maximus said. I stood u
Beep, beep!!! The sound of the alarm clock could be heard everywhere in the house. "Ivy, you had better wake up, or you will be late for school” A beautiful young woman wearing a blue silk gown climbs the stairs and reaches a door. Knock, knock!! Wake up sleepyhead, you're going to be late for school” she shouted. I opened my eyes, still feeling sleepy “Mom I'm not going to be late for school” I said as I staggered out of the bed, to the bathroom where I took my bath and prepared for school. I came downstairs as the sweet smell of early morning freshly ground coffee, mixed with tomato sauce, filled the air. ”Hmmm!!! Good morning Mom, I love the smell of the tomato sauce Mom" I said, going to the dining table. "You should try and get up much earlier, so you won't get to school late,” Mom said. “Don't worry Mom I won't be late, and Mom I won't be coming back home early as I will be going to the library with Lisa after school. you know, as a 12th grader our college entrance
