Peachy Reunion
Ivy Valentine thinks she is a freak among society, a bad family past no mother no father, just her and her twin brother. Crystal's dad took her in when they were seven, and grew up together, her twin brother carried on with the 'family business' whilst she was forced to move to England with Crystal.
Ivy tapped impatiently on her desk as she watched the clock tick and the hands move, she didn't think it was going fast enough and proceeded to day dream about home – America. She would picture the days and nights her and Crystal had spent together hunting, the amount of bitches they ganked with Crystal's father, and…the accident that forced them to move home – however she doesn't like to remember that time, the time her best friend and her were close to death. Thinking about it Ivy mentally shuddered and twisted her head to one side trying to focus on something else other than that horrible memory. Her short red hair glinting as the sun shone through the windows and filtered the room, she over heard a conversation that got her mind thinking.
"I can't believe it," a stunned girl said quietly, but Ivy was close enough to hear.
"We can't tell anyone," the other girl replied, Ivy recognised them, they were friends with Crystal.
"No, no I completely understand," the first one replied, Ivy recognised them as Michelle and Rachel. "I just can't believe that she's missing,"
"Yeah, I know," Rachel sighed swishing her blonde hair away from her face, Ivy smirked to herself – the amount of times Crystal did that unintentionally it would make the boys drool.
"Hey Ivy," the incredibly smart, posh, loaded, and gorgeous guy tapped Ivy on the back making her jump and swish around quickly.
"Yeah?" Ivy beamed politely.
"Can you tell Crystal I've got work at lunch for an hour or two, so I'll meet her back at you guys' place," Jack smiled his perfect set of polished teeth making his blue eyes sparkle.
"Yeah sure," she smiled, nodding at the same time. She still can't believe that Crystal was going out with this guy – well she could believe it, it was Crystal, but she couldn't believe that she found someone normal.
"Thanks," he smiled as he grabbed his bags together as the bell rang and he darted out of the room.
Ivy, sighing, picked up her bags slowly and walked out of the classroom, for some reason she had the small conversation about the missing girl ringing through her head.
Crystal was in her classroom opposite Ivy's room, she missed her…well she might as well be her sister, and she wanted her close so that she could feel safe. Visions of the accident suddenly poured into her brain, she shook her head and looked up blinking her gorgeous set of lashes.
"Crystal, how's Jack?" Peter asked her, he was in her friendship group and had asked her out on numerous occasions, she turned him down each time then Jack came along and she just started to ignore him.
"Still alive, still breathing, still drop dead handsome, and still my boyfriend! Sorry to disappoint," Crystal smiled unsympathetically and turned back to the notes infront of her.
"Sorry," Peter sighed putting his hands up in a defensive action.
"Where did she go?" Sarah, behind her, asked Georgina who was also behind Crystal.
Georgina hesitated for a moment, "we don't know, she's been missing for over twenty four hours so the police are involved,"
"What's this?" Crystal asked turning around to her friends.
Georgina swished her brown curls to the side, and leaned in closer to Crystal. "You know Melissa Sherry?"
Crystal giggled. "Oh…the French posh girl, yeah I know," Crystal sighed thinking of the annoying bitch she had an argument with just the other day.
"Yeah," Sarah laughed applying lip gloss onto her lips.
"It's pronounced She-rie not Sherry," The three of them giggled in unison.
Georgina and Sarah's faces dropped and Crystal wondered why the atmosphere had suddenly turned. "What happened?" she asked in a monotonous voice.
"She's…" Georgina started but couldn't bring herself to say, Crystal watched at her in awe at her over reactive tears.
"She's missing," Sarah sighed giving Georgina a sympathetic arm.
"Huh," Crystal breathed as the bell rang and she grabbed her things together. "So…when did she go missing? Could she have just gone on holiday on her own or something?" Crystal question instinctively.
"No," Sarah breathed shaking her head. "She just didn't come home from school," she carried on explaining as they walked through the dim halls of school.
"Well…" Crystal began to ask another question when Ivy caught her glance through the halls, Crystal thanked the fact that Ivy had bright red hair.
"Crystal!" Ivy called through the crowd, Ivy was thankful that Crystal's hair was a unique curly blonde that she could spot her out in a crowd a mile away.
"I've got to go," she said to Sarah, not looking at her, just staring at something she noticed on a notice board.
"Ok," Sarah said oddly. "Can't wait for your party by the way," she shouted back as she took Georgina into the toilets as she was still sobbing.
Ivy came closer and reached Crystal in no time, her eyes where wide with excitement, like a small child being let loose in a sweet shop.
"Hey did you hear about the…?" she asked biting her lip to try and contain the excitement.
"French missing girl?" Crystal asked interrupting and simply pointed to the sign on the board.
"Damn!" Ivy cursed hoping she hadn't heard a thing about it yet.
"Plus Georgina and Sarah told me," Crystal shrugged and they started to walk down the hall.
"So do you think it's anything we need to be worried about?" Ivy asked carefully choosing her words.
Crystal grunted. "You mean is it anything that might mean hunting?"
Ivy pursed her lips. "Well when you put it that way," she shrugged.
"Come on it's nothing, just a coincidence, Dad purposely chose this school because of no demonic activity, no ghosts, no ghouls, no vampires, no werewolves, just people," Crystal watched her feet as they walked, she felt the usual uncomfortable itch to hunt but pushed it to one side.
"Maybe we should tell…"
"NO!" Crystal snapped before Ivy had a chance to finish her sentence. "We're not telling Henry, he will drive down immediately from London and stay with us! He won't leave until it has been dealt with! You know what he said; any deaths, missing people, or strange activity you call me and I'll sort it out," Crystal grimaced mimicking her brothers' words.
There was a sudden scream from the toilets they were passing, Georgina and Sarah rushed out in a panick and left everyone staring in awe at the toilets. Ivy and Crystal shared a quick glance before their instincts kicked in and they ran straight into the girls toilets. Crystal took the knife she hid, that was normally strapped to her leg, and held it up in the air defensively – ready for anything. Ivy grabbed the small revolver she kept in her pants and stood infront of Crystal protectively. They walked in slowly, Crystal looked around for any signs whilst Ivy watched the feet in the cubicle they were walking towards. A small snigger filled the air and the door swung open.
"WOAH!" a small boy gasped placing his hands up in the air.
Ivy and Crystal frowned and examined the fifteen year old infront of them.
"How did you get in here?" Ivy frowned glancing at the boy.
"I-I, jeez relax, I got lost," he panted and shrugged in response.
"Got lost?" Crystal asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah," the boy replied with a shrug.
"Really?" Ivy giggled placing the gun back in her hiding space, Crystal did the same with her knife.
"Yeah," the boy replied with another shrug, a little more relaxed now that the weapons were away.
Crystal simply raised an eyebrow at the child infront of them.
"Ok, ok," the boy rolled his eyes. "I just had a little peek of some girls that were changing, no biggy," he sighed budging passed them and making an exit.
"Kids," Crystal sighed looking up at the ceiling.
Ivy suddenly leant down on the floor looking at a stain on the tiled flooring. Crystal rolled her eyes bored; she wanted to catch the canteen before all the good stuff was gone.
"Look at this," Ivy ordered, with a sigh Crystal bent down next to Ivy.
Her eyes soon turned inward. "Is that…?"
"Blood," Ivy breathed examining it closely.
Crystal stood up sighing and checked that the knife wasn't visible in her reflection as she looked in the mirror. Ivy stood up contemplating the circumstances that the blood and Melissa were related. Crystal frowned and noticed a weird mark next to the mirror.
"Hey Ivy," Crystal called, Ivy quickly bounced to her side to see what Crystal had found.
A weird crack/mark was in the hard wall beside the mirror. "What is that?" Ivy gasped.
"I don't know," Crystal breathed.
After a couple of silent minutes Crystal stood up straight and shrugged, they left the toilets and saw the crowd gathered round Georgina and Sarah, mostly sympathetic boys offering to beat the boy up, little did they know he was already out of the toilets and long gone.
"I've been thinking," Ivy breathed as they reached the ground floor of the building.
"That's never a good sign," Crystal smirked cheekily.
Ivy just ignored her and carried on. "The missing girl, Melissa, isn't that the girl you had an argument with the other day?"
Crystal stopped walking and blinked her blue jewel like eyes at Ivy all Crystal could think at this time was; was Ivy seriously considering that I had something to do with the disappearance? Crystal shrugged and walked off down the hallway.
After school Ivy and Crystal were hanging out in their apartment. It had two bedrooms on opposite sides of the main room which was an open planned living room, office, dinning room, and kitchen. The main bathroom was next to Crystal's room.
Ivy was sat on the sofa, a glass of wine infront of her, a lamp beside her as she read a set text book for her exams. Crystal was stuck into her Ben and Jerry's ice cream as she roamed the internet and Facebook.
"Oh yeah," Ivy called still reading her book. "Jack said he would meet you here tonight, said he had work that's why he couldn't meet you at lunch,"
Crystal finished her mouthful and leant back on her chair at the dining table. "Ok," she nodded. "Thanks,"
"No probs," Ivy breathed slouching deeper into the soft marshmallow of a chair.
Crystal browsed Facebook for twenty minutes when a small notification for Skype showed up. She clicked on it and couldn't help but have an elongated smile as she clicked the accept button.
"Yo, yo, yo!" the familiar voice called to her as the picture loaded.
"Yo my bro, my hommie," Crystal giggled taking another spoonful of ice cream, the picture loaded and Crystal beamed. "You remembered!"
"How could I forget?" Henry, her brother, replied with a perfect smile. "Tonight is Ben and Jerry's night,"
Crystal smiled taking another spoonful.
"So what you been at today sis? How's Ivy?" he asked, Ivy hid the smile she wanted to show well, she liked it when Crystal's family asked about her.
"Ivy's reading a book, she's awesome, I have had…an interesting day," Crystal thought it best to leave out the missing girl. "Enough about me what about my favourite brother? How's being a top notch lawyer in London doing?" Crystal beamed as she watched her brothers smile increase.
"Good, and being a top notch lawyer, is super fun! Now what did you mean by…interesting day?" Henry asked raising an eyebrow.
Crystal rolled her eyes and wished she hadn't opened her mouth. "It was just interesting," she shrugged looking at the nearly empty ice cream pot.
Henry just stared at her raising one of his blond eyebrows.
Ivy stopped reading her book to turn around and grab Crystal's attention. "Just tell him!" she shouted in a whisper.
Crystal rolled her eyes and looked to her brother. "Just…promise not to freak out," she sighed.
Henry rose an eyebrow but nodded.
"So this girls gone missing, we found blood in the bathroom with this mark on the wall, but that's it! Just coincidences no link found!" Crystal urged already seeing the panick in her brothers eyes.
"Actually," Ivy spoke up, she gave up reading her book properly since Henry had said her name. "I spoke to some girls, and that bathroom was the last place Melissa was seen,"
Crystal gave Ivy the look that told Ivy she should have kept her mouth shut.
"Right!" Henry growled grabbing his phone from the side. "This calls for action,"
"It's nothing!" Crystal protested.
"Hello," Henry called down his phone exiting the room and leaving his laptop to look at the empty space.
"Great!" Crystal muttered sulking back in her chair.
After twenty minutes, Crystal had finished her ice cream and Henry's webcam was still showing an empty room, Crystal had indulged herself into a light reading book when the phone rang. Ivy leaped up and swooped the phone to her ear.
"Hello Valentine and Blue residence how can I help you?" she answered posh.
Crystal sat forward as her brother came back to the webcam.
"Oh hello Bobby!" Ivy said her eyes wide as she practically shouted Bobby's name for Crystal to hear.
"Bobby is coming down," Henry smirked at Crystal.
"What! Why can't you?" Crystal protested her blue eyes fierce with anger.
"I can't…let you go through that again, either of you," Henry shrugged and disconnected the call.
"What you shouting at you idjut? I know you're in England now but there's no darn reason for all that shouting!" Bobby protested down the phone.
"Sorry," Ivy mumbled.
"Anyway, I'd thought I'd ring to let you know I'm coming down! I got to rearrange a few things but then I'm on the first flight!" Bobby urged grabbing his passport as he walked to the kitchen to check his supplies.
"Ok but what about Crystal's dad…why can't he get here?" Ivy frowned and Crystal's head perked up.
"He's on business with a friend," Bobby paused as two young men entered the room. "Gotta go, see you in a few hours," he said quickly and hung up.
Ivy looked at the phone stunned before looking at Crystal.
"Great! Just Great!" Crystal sighed standing up and stomping to her room.
"Why is everyone staring at me?" Crystal groaned as she slammed her locker door shut.
"I don't know," Georgina shrugged beside her looking to the side. They had been avoiding eye contact with her since school started. They were all in their twenties for pete's sake they shouldn't be acting like immature idiots!
"Urgh! Just tell me!" Crystal groaned and slumped as she walked.
Sarah sighed and stood infront of Crystal to stop her from walking. "Promise not to get mad?" she asked.
Crystal rose an eyebrow. "I ain't promising anything!"
"They think you did it," Sarah said staring Crystal in the eyes to read every emotion that followed.
"What?" Crystal replied in horror. "How could I…I didn't…why?" She asked her emotion now one of anger.
"Everyone knows you had an argument with her the other day, they think you beat her up and left her to die!" Georgina said like a true drama queen.
"Well I didn't so they can stuff it!" Crystal frowned and stormed off.
Meanwhile Ivy was washing her hands in the basin. She had investigated every single patch of the toilets and nothing! The blood was gone, but the weird mark wasn't. She looked in the mirror and gasped as something flittered behind her. She turned around slowly and cautiously as she heard the sound of metal pinging on the floor – whatever it was, it was heavy. She moved towards the noise and bent down. A long silver chain had dropped to the floor, attached to it was a locket. She gasped and picked it up as she stood up straight. It was her locket, someone had stolen it – one of the popular's – a couple of days ago and she never got it back. She examined it closer and opened it, all the photographs were still in there, she shut it quickly not wanting to look at any of the photos that would bring back memories.
The door to the toilets swung open, Ivy shoved the locket in her back pocket in case it was the thief coming back for it, she brushed passed the girl and made it out safely. Ivy ran through the halls and got to the cafeteria, Crystal had a tray full of food and was about to sit down on an empty table, Ivy ran too her and sat opposite her.
"Guess what I got back," Ivy beamed.
Crystal frowned. "You lost something?"
Ivy nodded and placed the locket on the table. "But it's back,"
Crystal gasped and pointed to the locket. "You lost this! How? You carry it around with you every where!"
"It…well I think someone stole it, and I have an idea as to who!" Ivy shrugged, Crystal rose another eyebrow. "Melissa, I think…she's dead, and I think this was her way of returning it to me,"
Crystal laughed, a little too loud, and Ivy just playfully hit her. "I'm sorry, but aren't you jumping the guns just a tad?" Crystal sighed shaking her head.
"Seriously!" Ivy urged. "Come on, there is something really weird going on!"
"No!" Crystal snapped. "No there isn't! Now we are going to sit here, eat pie, go home and live normal lives!"
"Sheesh! Fine! Talk to me again once you have gotten over your mood swings!" Ivy huffed and left the canteen.
Ivy had work anyway, she didn't want to stay with her lame best friend (well she did but she didn't want to admit it). Ivy loved the punters, the crowd, she likes observing it! She felt like it was watching animals in their natural habitat.
"Sorry fella's what can I get you?" she beamed to a crowd of lads. They beamed eyeing her up and down before they made their orders. It was lunch hour, and so it was busy, that's why work got her to work from lunch through to the end of school; she had finished her timetable for the day anyway so school didn't care.
"No! I'm not going!" A woman screamed to Ivy's manager.
Ivy walked up casually and examined the strangers face, she didn't normally come in here, but she looked familiar…exactly like…Melissa.
"Listen," she said soothingly to the woman. "I think you've had enough you need to go home,"
"I can't!" The woman spat tears streaming down her smeared face. "It's too quiet, she's not there!" the woman balled.
"I know," Ivy sighed looking at the floor. "I knew Melissa, she was a…good person," Ivy bit her tongue at the last part, but remembered that Melissa did give her the locket back.
Melissa's mum nodded and sniffed, wiping her nose with the back of her hand, and downing her last order.
"Go home," Ivy urged and looked up to her managers and some men standing around the poor woman. "Someone call her a cab?" Ivy asked and the boys nodded.
The woman disappeared out of the pub, leaving a crowd full of new gossip. Ivy shook her head and noticed a weird book on the bar, she frowned and picked it up, it read; Alice Day on the front. She looked up to see the woman driving off in the cab; it was too late to give it back to her. She took off her apron and put it on the shelf under the bar.
"Kurt, I'll be back in twenty," she called as she grabbed her car keys and exited the bar.
Back at school Crystal sighed as she walked out onto Campus with her friends. Some construction trucks were going over the grass like army tanks, they were building a new building for the mature students, and suddenly they all stopped and black thick smoke rose from them. Crystal looked down at her phone and gasped as she saw the time.
"Hey, guys, Jack," she called and they all looked up at her. "I've got work, I'll see you later," she smiled and Jack gave her an elongated kiss.
Crystal giggled and ran off into the toilets, she changed into her black skirt and white shirt and ran out of the school entrance, all under ten minutes. She smiled proud of herself until two tall dark shadows stood in the way of the sun and she squinted as she looked up to a really tall guy, and an average height guy – well he was just taller than her anyway.
"Hey there," the smaller one said. They moved out of the way of the sun and she could see them properly. The smaller one had short dirty blonde hair, the same colour as her own, and light green eyes. The other incredibly tall one, had a mop head for hair, that was brown, and also the same eye colour as the other one.
"Can I help you?" Crystal huffed crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow as she looked at them.
"Crystal!" Ivy bellowed, Crystal looked behind the two men to see Ivy getting out of her car and rushing towards her.
The blonde man was still examining Crystals amazing figure, and seemed overwhelmed when Ivy bounced over; two for the price of one was his thoughts. The taller one frowned as he examined Ivy.
"You never guess what I found," Ivy spoke fast speaking only to Crystal, she hadn't acknowledged the two men infront of Crystal.
"Ivy," Crystal pointed to the men and Ivy immediately apologised.
"Ah, sorry, who are you?" she frowned narrowing her eyes at them both.
The smaller one coughed and nudged the taller one as they both reached into their jackets and pulled out their police I.D. "We're with the local police, we have some questions on the missing girl, perhaps you could help us?" the smaller one grinned cheekily nodding at them both.
"Can I have another look at your badge?" Crystal fluttered her eyelashes to the smaller one, he grinned thinking his charm was working and passed it too her. "Ah, Blake Summers?" Crystal asked raising an eyebrow and examined the blonde short one.
"Yep, and this is my partner Brian Newman," Blondie responded.
"So I'm guessing you guys are from America? Judging by your accents?" Crystal asked looking at his I.D long and hard.
The two men glanced at each other.
The blonde one responded with "Yep sweet cheeks, and your point is?"
"So how long have you been in England?" Ivy asked catching on to what Crystal was getting at as she peered over her shoulder.
The tall one frowned and Blondie replied with; "A couple of months," followed by a shrug.
Crystal nodded "Yeah that's interesting considering you've supposedly been
in this country all your life," and showed him his own I.D.
They both became wide eyed, and frustrated with themselves. "Well it seems like months to us, anyway aren't there months in years?" Blondie grinned winking.
"Bull crap, my dad makes better I.D than this and he gets the shakes," Crystal smirked.
Ivy giggled and said "Imagine that happening to a real police officer, imagine how screwed they'd be,"
"Ok so you got us," the taller one sighed flinging his hands in the air.
The small one looked offended by the tall man, he couldn't believe he gave up that easily.
"My name is actually Sam and this is Dean," Sam said pointing to Dean.
"Yeah and we're actually looking for an Ivy Valentine and a Crystal Blue?" Dean pondered as Ivy and Crystals face screwed up.
"Wait!" Ivy shouted and beamed a smile. "Is your last name Winchester?" she smirked and the two boys frowned. "Sam! Do you not remember me? We stayed at Bobby's one weekend, Dean was old enough to go on a hunt but you had to stay at Bobby's!" Ivy smiled at the distant memory. Sam beamed suddenly remembering it too.
"O-of course!" he chuckled. "IVY!" he beamed grabbing her in a tight bear hug and quickly getting off.
Crystal stood there completely confused.
"Well ain't this just a peachy reunion," Dean muttered.
