Set right when Rita and Roddy where about to get frozen. Only they see something… or someone.
Disclaimer. It only takes one word. Disclaimer.
We are heading for the freezer. Why? I have no idea.
The door opens. Mr. Toad says something, but I'm not listening.
I see many people, they are frozen. Their eyes are blinking. I realize that only the ones in the front are blinking. The ones in the back are long gone, not even ever going to blink again.
I see a girl. She is in the front. She is not blinking like the others. I worry for her.
Mr. Toad sees me looking at her.
"Her name was Ivy, she was a sweet girl, really. She came to my front porch, looking for help. Some wacko told her I was a therapist. I was about to let her go, but she saw one of my…collections. I had no choice. She simply sat there and glared at me. She died young, she did. Around only thirteen. It's sad."
I looked at Ivy. She is sitting. And glaring. But the glare didn't reach her eyes. Like she knew something, some dark secret. And pain. Like she had the world and everyone's worries all on her shoulders. This girl, Ivy, has hurt.
She is rather small for thirteen, and her hair was a deep, dark black. Her eyes are a beautiful sapphire blue, seeming to glow.
She is familiar.
"Ivy! Oh! Ivy Milton! Oh no! My, god. Sid has been looking up top and down low for you! Oh no, Ivy. Ivan Rachelle Milton! You can't die! Think of your big brother! Think of Sid! Please, Ivy! Please don't die!" Rita starts shouting out at Ivy. I realize, now. That Rita has a heart.
Wait, did she say Sid? The guy that got me into this mess. Yes, it must be.
Poor Sid.
Poor Ivan.
Sid must be her brother. I'll right next to her. How ironic. I start to laugh. Not in the happy or humor sense, but because it seems, that's all I can do.
