My darkness
"Beware the dark pool at the bottom of our hearts. In its icy, black depths dwell strange and twisted creatures it is best not to disturb."
― Sue Grafton, I is for Innocent
Ivy went on taking a walk back to her dorm after many month of hard work and studying. It was finally summer vacation. But there was one more thing she had to do. Since tins wasnt any sort of normal paced school says before he had to be present at a current crime scene murder. For detective training. She took out her dorm room keys and unlocked the door. she went inside and fell asleep.
Most people spend thier whole life running away from monsters others spend it fighting them, and there are some who believe they have nothing to do with them until its too late and they discover that they are monsters.
All children have once in their life believed the existence of monsters in our closets or under our beds. Monsters hidden within the darkness of the world. Taking up every corner of this planet. As we get older we find new names for those monsters: bugs, cats, dogs, wolfs, lions, burgers, murderers, our teachers. We dont ever relize the possibility of us being the biggest threat to ourselves, thas why we blame others, that is why when we all were children in preschool and we would do something wrong we point the finger at others. Why? Because we are monsters.
When Ivy was 6 years old someone pushed her, an attempt to making her fall down the stairs. Luckilly enough she grabbed on the banister and held herself form falling. She got up turned and saw the child who pushed her, she took the child and punched him. He went off crying to the teacher and said Ivy punched him for no reason. She toried to explain what really happened and how she punched him for his own good so that he dosent push anyone down the stairs again, but the teacher didnt believe her. The boys mother called her a monster. From that day on she realized how cruel the world was, how one child can do such a shameful thing so shamelesly and she vowed she wont let another crime pass her without setting things straight when she gets older. She respected her father for that reason.

Ivy woke up and dressed herself in appropriate attire for a murder scene as a detective investigator. She locked her dorm room door behind her and walked to the headmaster's office. She opened the door and stepped inide to find that guy that she saw... that dude with the gun "AHH" she shouted pointing at him "ITS YOU". the headmaster looked up at her. "oh ivy so youve met my dear friend Yagari" "Not really, we just ran into eachother thats all. anyways im goining to the murder thing. goodbye now". "wait ivy there goinig with you" the head master pionted at yagari nd zero and hanabousa who entered shortly after. "Why..." she whispered. "Oh and Ivy if you start feeling sick or anything please come back ok?" said . "Oh. Dont worry about it im actually really into violence and dead things so i should be fine." she smiled. Zero glanced at her "What" she said. "nothing, your just a wierd girl thats all." he rplied to her.
When they reached their destination there weren't very much people just 2 cops and that was all, except for the ambulance at the corner of the street. "its so empty", ivy whispered. "Oh detective Yagari-san. You made it and these are the students who are future detectives?," said one of the cop people. " yes," he replied "and they all know about vampires so don't worry about anything." Ivy looked at the guy " you're a vampire?" she asked. " Oh no no I'm a vampire hunter and so is Yagari. Whats your name?" he said. "Oh, I'm Ivy Knight" she replid. "Oh! Your Minorou Knight's daughter. AWWW This brings back memories. We used to hunt vampires all the time ….." the guy went on talking but ivy didn't hear a thing. She was mesmerized by the sight of blood.
"Hey! Ivy!" shouted Zero snapping her back to reality. "Are you ok…. Just now you looked –" "EHHEM!", Hanabousa nugged him. " shhhh. He whisperd to him Don't make her relize what she was thinking about. She cant know yet remember. "common Ivy me you and zero should go back". "Hey Ivy said to hanabousa and zero, " I don't know why but just now I felt like – I felt like- I felt like I was about to drink the blood of the dead corpse."
In the headmasters office Ivy was laying down on a couch Adio, Zero, and Kaien sat facing eachother as Adio and Zero explained to Kaien what happened. " I see. So I suppose I should tell her now, before something horrible happens to her." He gently walked to Ivy in a fatherly way and said, "Ivy, you should sit up when you listen to this." She sat up looking strangely at him. " Have you ever felt like that before at all?". She looked around at the room as if she was trying to avoid something. "Ivy! You have to answer this question its very important." She looked up at him then at Zero and Adio, finally she spoke up. "Its happened to me several times before the amount of times it happens per year has increased. At first it was never, then one day it happened and I tought I was just imagining it because I watched a lot of vampire and warewolfs and other things shows and movies with my friend. Then a year later after I forgot about it it happened again. Six months later it happened to me again. After that in four months it happened four months after that it happened again, only that time pain struck me so hard I didn't leave my room that day and my dad wasn't home so he never found out. Two months later the same thing happened only for some reason I endred the pain and it came back after two weeks, then one, and after that time it came to me two times in a row. It disappeared for a year and a half and it happened again today. That's why I thought Adio and Zero were crazy when they talked about Vampires were real and they were vampires or whatever. I started getting worried." She said. "You didn't tell your father?" asked the headmaster. "No. what would he have done about it." She held back her tears. "If there is someone who can be called almost as experienced as me in this it would be your father. He's a vampire hunter and so was your mother ,"said the Headmaster. "My mother .." ivy looked up , "You knew her?". The headmaster noded his head "She was a great strong Vampire Hunter. She refused to be called a Vampire huntress. Said it would make her feel weak and wimpy. She even continued to hunt Level E vampires when she was pregnant with you…. And she was soon brought to her death because of that."
Ivy walked out of the office and sat in the dark night breeze. However back in the office zero talked to the headmaster as hanabousa returned to his dorm." Your not telling her the rest?" asked zero. The headmaster smiled at zero. "would you do that for me".
