I'm back!

Chapter 1: Finding Out the Past

Ivy

I woke up screaming. It had been a couple nights after my 13th birthday. My parents came running in with bandages. This had happened a couple times before so they knew what to do. I looked down and sure enough there were claw marks with blood running down my chest and staining my black tank top. This had happened before yet we had no idea why it was happening. Whenever I had I dream about the pack of wolves running after something, I would start screaming and clawing at my chest like something hurt. It was six o'clock in the morning so I took the bandages and went to the bathroom. It was late enough in the morning for me to get up and stay up. I took off my shirt and wrapped my chest up. After I was done I walked downstairs and stopped when I heard my parents talking to someone on the phone.

"She keeps clawing at her chest and screaming." I heard my mom say. There was silence. "When she was 10 that was when it started. Except it only happened on her birthdays but after her 13th it's starting to happen every day." More silence. "So we wait until she gets suspicious?" she asked. More silence. "Ok, I'll call you if it gets worse." Then I heard my mom hang up. I walked down the rest of the stairs and into the kitchen where I found breakfast being cooked.

Almost a year later on Ivy's 14th birthday at night.

When I woke up screaming my chest was drenched in blood this time. My parents were already in the room but they were gaping at me. They grabbed my arms and helped me to the car. We drove off to the hospital where I got stiches. Colorado had a lot of good doctors but it took two of the doctors to get my chest stitched up fast enough. By now I had scars from scratching my chest almost every night. After they finished stitching my parents came in and sat with me on my bed. After a while I pretended to fall asleep. That when my parents started talking.

"Tim, I think we should call them again. Tell them what happened this time." My mom said

"Yeah, I think your right Caroline, they need to know."

I heard my mom takeout her cell and dial a number. She started talking.

"Um, hi, it's Caroline. It got a whole lot worse this time. It was her 14th birthday." Silence. "We got in there before she woke up and she was twisting and turning. She was clawing at her chest like crazy. Plus this wasn't her normal screaming. She was crying and calling out a name." more silence. "I think she was calling out Seth." I heard a long pause. Then she said "Tim, wake up Ivy slowly, someone wants to talk to her." I felt my dad's arms slowly shake me. I pretended to wake up and be drowsy.

"Ivy, a professional doctor wants to talk to you about what's been going on." My mom said. She handed me the phone and then I took it and put it up to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked

"Hello, I am Dr. Cullen, is this Ivy speaking?" a smooth voice said.

"Um…yes this is Ivy speaking." I said

"Can you tell what's been going on?"

"Um…yeah, almost every night I have a dream about these huge wolves running through a clearing. Apparently while this is happening I scream and claw at my chest." I said confused

"Can you tell me about the scratching?'

"When I wake up my hands have blood under the fingernails. It feels like there's a pull or something and it hurts."

"Can you tell me what kind of pull Ms. Ivy?"

"It feels like a strings attached to my heart. Maybe I scratch myself to try and break the string so it doesn't hurt."

There was silence for a moment. "I'm going to put another doctor on."

"Ok."

Then I heard a new voice. "Um…this is Dr. Clearwater. Can you tell me more about your dream and the screaming?"

"Well, in the dream I'm in a clearing under what I think is a tree, then eight huge wolves come running by, it's just the same dream over and over. Then the screaming, I have no idea, you would have to talk to my parents about that. They're the ones that hear it."

"Ok, can you pass the phone to them?"

I passed the phone over to my parents. And thought for a moment. That voice sounded so familiar. It made the pulling go away a little, but why?

I was in the clearing again. Except this time there were people with blood red eye's staring at me. The wolves came by and chased them off. A girl carrying me. I ran into two peoples arms.

I woke up, it was eight in the morning. I remembered now, my parents, my aunt Leah, and all my uncles. I stormed downstairs I met my parents gaze.

"Why didn't you tell me I was adopted?" I almost yelled. They looked dumbstruck at my words. Then my mom spoke.

"Ivy, we didn't tell you because your real parents didn't want us to."

"Why did they send me away in the first place?" I said crying

"All they told us was that you were in danger with them, they did it to protect you Ivy." She reached for the phone and dialed a number.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

"I'm calling your parents so you can speak with them." Just then I saw her focus on what someone was saying "Crystal, she found out she was adopted. She here with us in the kitchen right now." Silence. Then she passed the phone to me. "Your mom's on the phone right now, she said your dad's out." I took the phone and put it to my ear. "Hello?" I asked

"Ivy?" a voice said. I remembered it as clear as a bell. After 10 years I still remembered.

"Mom?" I asked just to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

"Yes, I'm your biological mother." My mom said. I could feel silent tears rolling down my cheeks.

"I remember your voice." My voice cracked a little at the end. I fell to my knees in joy

"So how have you been?" she asked.

"I've been ok I guess, except for the nights."

"Oh yeah, Tim and Caroline told us about that, how is your chest doing?"

"It's been healing and I've been scratching less ever since I talked to the doctors for some reason."

"Hmmm, that's strange." My mom said. I heard talking in the background. "Daniel says you should come back, would you like that?" she asked

"Are you talking about my brother Daniel?" I asked starting to get excited

"Yes, would you like to come?"

"I would love to! When can I come?" I asked

"As soon as you want, just makes sure you tell us first."

"Can I start packing now?"

"If you want, check with Caroline and Tim first though."

"Okay," I put the phone to my shoulder "Mom, dad, can I move back to La Push?" I asked

"Yes you can Ivy, just promise to come and visit at least once a year." Caroline said smiling

I put the phone back up to my ear, "They say I can go as long as I come to visit at least once a year."

"That's great! How about you come up here in about a month? That should give us enough time to get your room set up."

"Wow, thanks. I'll give you a call when I get the ticket."

"Can I just ask one question?"

"Shoot."

"What do you want your color scheme to be?"

"Base it around black and dark purple, those are my two favorite colors."

"You're a lot like me, one more question, are you Goth?"

"Yeah, mostly. My adoptive parents won't let me get in too deep with that."

"Well I won't, I'm a Goth to, well at least I used to."

"Oh wow, we'll have a lot to talk about then."

"I bet we will."

"Well, I'll call another time, see you later."

"Bye."

I hung up the phone and looked at my adoptive mother. "Do you want to help me pack?" I asked

We went to my room and started packing.

I dialed my mom's number. "Hello?" She said

"Hey, it's Ivy."

"Oh, hi honey." She said. She sounded on edge

"Mom, what's wrong?"

"Your dads late to come home from work, well anyway what's up?"

"I kind of wanted to talk to dad."

"Oh, we can't have that. Your brother and I promised each other that we would surprise your dad."

"Oh, that's a great idea. Can I talk to Daniel than?"

"Why do you want to talk to the guys?" she asked suspiciously

"I need to ask someone for advice."

"Well ok, one sec." I waited for a moment

"Ivy?" Daniel asked

"The one and only. Listen I need to ask you something."

"Go ahead."

"What are the guys like there?"

"Ivy! Are you looking for someone or something?"

I laughed "I just want to know, I'm probably going to meet my first boyfriend in La Push, and so I want to be prepared."

"Well you'll have to find out yourself because I won't answer that."

"Fine, than answer this, what I s the weather like there. I need to know if I need knew cloths."

"It's chilly most of the time, but during the winter it's freezing. So bring warm cloths. But also bring warm weather ones because there are the few rare occasions where it's warm and sunny. I'm surprised you don't remember."

"Danni! The last time I was in La Push I was four! How am I supposed to remember the weather when I forgot that I even lived there?" I said

"I guess you have a point, do you want me to put mom back on?"

"Yeah, that would be great, thanks!"

I was almost done packing my room. I just had to put all the stuff on my bed away, tonight I was on my way to the Seattle where I would meet my mom and my brother in person so we could drive to La Push. I heard a knocking at my door. I turned around to see Caroline standing there. She had told me to call her Caroline so I wouldn't get confused between her and my real mom.

"Are you almost ready?" she asked

"Yeah, just need to pack up my bed get all my important stuff into a suitcase and backpack."

She came over and began helping me finish packing. I put some books, my laptop, my 3DS, and some other random stuff. Then in my suitcase I put my toothbrush, some cloths, a pair of shoes, and a couple other things. We finished everything when the moving truck arrived. I helped load everything up into the truck, then I grabbed my black and purple back pack and my black suitcase and loaded them into the car. I got in the backseat so my adoptive parents could both drive me. When we arrived at the airport, they escorted me to security and then watched me head down to where I could wait for my flight. I waited for about a half hour listening to my mp3 when my flight was called up. I saw a guy who looked my age looking at me. This was going to be just a fabulous flight. If you were standing next to me you could have felt the sarcasm flowing out of my mind.

After I got on the flight and the people did the safety procedure. I had no one sitting next to me which made me so happy. After we took off and were at a solid altitude a flight attendant came and asked me if I wanted anything. I asked for a glass of water which when the person came back I took gratefully. I drank the water semi quick then I put my earphones in and fell asleep. Shortly after, I felt someone shaking me. I woke up to the flight attendant.

"You need to put on your seat belt and turn off your mp3. We're landing." She said. I took out my ear buds and turned off my mp3 and buckled in. we landed shortly after which I was grateful for. I wasn't super big on planes.
