The next morning went by like it never even happened. Alois was gone for the whole day, me and Claude trained for a few hours, he won of course. I spoke with the twins, had a minor battle with Hannah that I enjoyed greatly and that was pretty much my whole day. With every second that passed by, Ivy would flash into my mind like a plaque. I wanted to…no, needed to see her. I waited impatiently for night to fall and finally set off to the Mecacci estate, eager.
The night wasn't gentle but it wasn't hard either. My hair bothered me enough to where I had to tie it back so it wouldn't get in my face as I scurried towards the house. I was wearing a knee length white dress with thin straps over my shoulders. There was a bow in the back and the bottom was frilly, not too much though, Alois knew my taste in clothes. I decided to dress nicely for no reason whatsoever. Or for her at least; I wanted to look nice for her.
I found the mansion easily within a few minutes, finding the same window again. I jumped into the air and caught the window pane, landed skillfully on it without a problem. I pushed open the glass doors and moved agilely into Ivy's room. She was sitting at her desk, humming an unfamiliar tune while brushing her hair happily. I loved seeing her with a positive attitude. She looked up to me through the mirror and gasped in excitement, running to hug me. I embraced her back.
"I knew you'd come." She said and snuggled into my body. I chuckled and pick her up into my arms like a child. I put her head under my chin, walking to her bed. She was already in her night gown.
"Were you waiting long for me?" I asked her while laying her down.
"All day, I've been wanting to see you." She said and rested her hand on my cheek.
"Really now?" I said and she nodded bashfully. How cute. I laughed. She snuggled into her blanket on her side, looking at me
"I'm sorry." She covered half her face with the blanket.
"For?" I brushed her hair to the side to see her face better. She was so beautiful.
"I don't know, I barely know you but I like you already." Ivy blushed and hid her whole face in the blanket. I leaned closer to her and pulled the covers away from her face. I couldn't stand not looking at her. Why was that?
"There's no need to apologize." I smiled and skimmed her cheek with my thumb.
"Ok. Can I ask you something?" She was so quiet but in her own way, anticipated whenever she said anything at all to me.
"Are you a demon?" My eyes widened quickly and then she freaked out.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ask, I mean the way you beat up those men yesterday was unusual." She said quietly. I relaxed and nodded. She was a good guesser.
"Yes, I am." I came in the open with a serious aspect. I was surprised that she knew what I was. In a way it intrigued me even more than ever. I crossed my arms and she suddenly looked at me like she had committed a crime that she was ashamed off. I didn't like it. My body softened. "You are not afraid?" I asked her and continued to stroke her hair.
"I was at first…but now, I'm not." I was shocked to hear such words coming out of a mere human, let alone someone who was so young. When I was a human I thought something was…off about Sebastian but when I asked Ciel about it, he would just say that he was a super human. Take in consideration that I was still a young and naïve girl who didn't know that demons existed in our world. Ivy probably did know about demons and reapers before I did. I was around her age when I found out that Sebastian was a demon. Close to it at least. But this girl…seemed to be very similar to me in many ways but had her own special characteristics that I wish I had when I was a human.
She took a very long pause that I did not like at all. Seeing her bite her lip like I did when I knew about Sebastian, didn't help much either. She acted just like me in a lot of cases. The atmosphere was silent but there wasn't any tension that I could feel uncomfortable in. What was she thinking?
"It is time for me to go." I finally said, breaking the silence and heading for the window. She ran to me and took my arm. Her eyes held a significant amount of sadness that I was going to kill myself for. I didn't like her afraid so why would I like her being sad? I sighed and rested my hand on her head. "Don't worry I'll see you tomorrow." She pushed herself into my arms and I hugged her to my chest. Her whole frame was so delicate in my hands.
I lifted her chin to me to see those gleaming green filled eyes, sad and lonely. I leaned down to her lips and brushed mine against hers. I heard a meek gasp coming from her cavern; her breath smelled sweet and warm. I pressed my lips to her, cautious if she didn't like it. Instead of retreating, she kissed back with the same gentleness I gave her. I let go slowly, torturing myself in wanting more of her. She was so…addicting. Her eyes were glazed with red painted on her cheeks. I chuckled.
"I will see you tomorrow Ivy." I said and saw her nod shyly. I tapped her forehead with my lips then jumped off of the window pane cleverly. I looked up to the window and didn't see her; it kind of disappointed me but, I still continued back home, knowing that I'd be anxious to see her again.
