This is the story of Ivy Black, daughter of Pitch Black and Leia a former human turned Light spirit who died moments after giving birth to Ivy, leaving Pitch to raise her alone. Pitch was a good father to Ivy and loved her very much but he was very protective and kept her away from the world all this time but Ivy's curiosity gets the better of her...

2. Chapter 1:Shadows

Chapter 1: Shadows

I'd learned how to use all of my powers from watching my dad work...not that he ever let me use them, dad is way overprotective and I'm not allowed to go anywhere outside without him. So that's why I'm sitting here in my room brushing my hair and reliving old memories.

For as long as I can remember I was never not with my dad, he took me everywhere with him. I never had a mother and even now dad won't tell about her and even though im curious, do I want to know?

Anyways, my father never really taught me how to use my powers, and truth be told I don't think he ever would have, so I taught myself, as I grew older I saw that my powers were different from fathers, instead of fear it was hatred, I can make anyone hate. I can also travel as a shadow like my father which was by far the easier of power to learn. I hear that there's a an called "Sandman" and that he goes around throwing magic dirt on sleeping kids and gives them good dreams and chases away their nightmares. I don't see why humans are so scared of nightmares, though my opinion probably doesn't count since I grew up playing with them.

I wish that my father would let me explore the world outside at least a little, I turn 16 soon anyways and he only just let me start not going with him to "work" 2 years ago! I'm almost grown in the human world and he leaves shadow guards outside my windowless bedroom door as if I'd up and run away. I won't stay locked up here forever dad. It's past time I step out of the shadows...
