Chapter 3: Pure White Jackhammer

Ivy ran out of her mansion. Surely the person who peered out from the curtain across the way had to be her admirer. She frantically searched the area with her eyes. Her silver hair obscured her vision as the wind howled. It may have only seemed for a split second, maybe even smaller, when she saw a face. It was a sad, tired, scared face. Its eyes were the purest of pure white. Like a mask. She wanted to run up to the mask. She wanted to clutch it in her hands…but something told her not to.

Wait.

Patience was not one of Ivy's virtues, but she had to obey this one. In time will they meet…not now…

Ivy went back inside…

Voldo's heart had gone off like a jackhammer when Ivy ran outside. It only seemed like for a split second that their hearts met. He knew that he couldn't hide forever…

"Le Madri gentili nel cielo proteggono l'Edera la protegge dalla guida di aiuto di danno me a lei... le Madri

per favore, Gentili," he whispered in a desperate feverish voice…

(A/N: this chapter's short, i know. i'm listening to a lot of hellogoodbye's stuff to give me more ideas...blargg. oh! and here's the translation of what Voldo says in english:

Gentle Mothers in heaven
protect Ivy
protect her from harm
help guide me to her...
please, Gentle Mothers

i'm cheesy...gets maimed...again)
