I'm sorry for the short chapter, however, I decided to split it into two parts so you shouldn't wait any longer.

6. Like Oil For Water - Part 1

Dinner was ready just in time.

Ally took one last glimpse in the mirror, nodding at her image clearly satisfied with what she saw. She has washed her hair and it was luscious and brushed straight, her make up was perfect. She was wearing her favorite sweater, a gift from Ivy from last Christmas.

It was part of her plan to get her life together.

Ivy was at the door at 9 for late dinner, she brought the red wine. Ally prepared a meal of pasta with her sauce.

After they had complemented each other, Ivy has asked what was the special occasion.

Ally told her that they were starting anew, and for one millisecond she really wanted to believe it.

Ivy was looking at her adoringly, the kind of stare when they were on their honeymoon. She studied her wife's comely, childlike face and remembered what it felt like when Ivy has kissed her lovingly with her soft mouth and how they had laid in bed together for so many nights making plans for the future; how they made a decision to have a child, her excitement of becoming a mom and how they were gonna raise Oz. Their family weekends, the late-night worries over their son being sick, and when he has had troubles at school. Now it all seemed like someone else's life to her. She had to remind herself what was the purpose of the dinner invitation.

For couple of weeks, even months now, Ally suspected Ivy was having an affair with the babysitter.

At first, she thought she imagined things and that she was the one that had a crush on the babysitter projecting her own feelings and desires on Ivy, which was a theory seeded into her by Dr. Vincent. After going through her wife's phone, she has found that Ivy called Winter on regular basis and read a few texts they had exchanged that were pretty explicit. The truth was ugly and had slapped Ally in the face, she could barely breathe.

Ivy wanted her dead, she was constantly mocking her fears, she knew it now. Calling her phobias stupid, using words like "weak" and "feeble minded" to describe Ally. The tears didn't manage to ease the pain inside her chest, her emotions got stuck into her throat and started choking her.

They were planning a set up to put her in a psych ward and then take Oz away and that of all things, Ally wouldn't allow, no matter how much the thought of what she was about to do scared her.

Ally didn't want to believe that Ivy was so cruel and full of hatred towards her, but after many nights spent in careful thinking she decided to put a camera in Oz's room. Soon she got the evidence she needed - Winter and Ivy have had sex on several occasions when she was absent.

Inside, she had been broken and hollow, she wanted to give in. She felt just as useless as her mother. Ally wanted to leave, get inside a hospital, follow her psychiatrist's advice. But then the tears had dried out and anger reared its ugly head.

Something deeper and darker inside her has awakened, it had branched out from the feelings of both pain and desolation she had experienced after learning that the one person you're supposed to trust and love had turned against you and threatened to take your life, and your son on some stupid whim. She had to fake a smile day after day, in order to deceit Ivy she was just as gullible as they thought she was. Until she decided it was time to get her pay back. No wonder that Kai tongue-fucking her under the table in her own restaurant felt so good - she felt powerful and wanted. And it was such a turn on that he seemed to be so damn into it.

The mere thought caused her skin to break into goosebumps. Fucking Ivy was great but it never made her want to die and live at the same time, never made her want to fall apart to pieces after she climaxed like Kai's relentless mouth did. Ally had to thank him for that, he made her realize what she was missing.

But first and foremost she had to think about Oz, he was everything she had. And getting rid of Ivy was the best decision.

As soon as the belladonna kicked in, Ivy's body started to get stiff and motionless. Ally could see the dread in the other woman's eyes, the fear on her face, but it was too late. Ivy's mouth could barely open yet she manged a few last words.

"Ally, why?"

"You damn well know why, Ivy," She started at her wife while tying her with a rope to the kitchen chair, she planned to dispose of the body later, but first she wanted to let her traitor of a wife know about everything. Ally was going to make Ivy listen without being able to respond with the belladonna coursing through her bloodstream, she was almost paralyzed now.

"This is for humiliating and betraying me. For mocking me and my fears, for fucking the babysitter behind my back while I tormented myself with guilt for having a ridiculous crush on her, when in fact I was being really lonely. All I have is Oz and you were planning to take him away. Yes, I know all about it," She hissed getting closer in her face. At the back of her mind, Ally could imagine her mom being proud of her finally standing up for herself.

"Isn't this what you wanted? You wanted me crazy, now you got me crazy.I hope it was really worth it, Ivy," She continued her monologue as if it were a nursery rhyme, while she put on a pair of latex gloves.

A sting in her leg made her look down immediately, terrified. Ally shrieked when the blood started gushing out on her jeans. Somehow even with great effort Ivy had managed to grab a fork and stab her in the thigh. The pain in her leg felt just as acute as a broken femur.

Grabbing the kitchen knife, she finished her wife by splitting her throat, nausea crept from her abdomen to her head and the world went black as someone was watching her tumble down on the kitchen floor.
