George started pulling Donald off the couch.
"Come on dude let's go already" George said.
Donald was about to retort when they heard the sound of something break
"What was that? Let me go already" Donald said
Ivy stared at the broken mirror while moving backward till she hit the wall with her back.
'Must I always have to experience this?' she thought as tears filled her eyes and she sat on the bathroom floor not minding the wound on her hand.
*RIIINNGGG
"Come in if you're not a demon" George yelled moving towards the room where Ivy was
"Boss" Albert walked in
"He's that way" Donald said pointing to the direction George went to and Albert followed.
"Ivy? Are you okay?" George asked knocking on the door
"What's wrong?" Albert asked
"I don't know. Just heard a sound and decided to check on her"
"Ivy? Ivy is something wrong? Ivy..." Albert stopped, remembering something and his expression instantly changed to worry
"What is it?" George asked him
"Ivy open up" Albert knocked and when no one answered he snapped his fingers and disappeared.
Soon the door opened and George walked in to know what was wrong. He met Albert sitting on the bathroom floor trying to calm Ivy down.
"It's okay. You're nothing like them" Albert said and took her wounded hand
"You really have to stop doing this to yourself. You don't expect me to always appear beside you missy. Let me see" He lifted her head but she instantly closed her eyes
"Hey stop this. Open your eyes. We need to get you ready for the tests." seeing how persistent she was "Ivy!" he doesn't like yelling at her but she really is something else.
She slowly opened her eyes but didn't look at him. He just sighed and stood up
"Let's go. At least it didn't consume you today, that's an improvement" he said and pulled her up
"Boss she's fine now. She's just sturburn" Albert said to which George just nodded and left.
"Where are your things? I think I left my detector with you" Ivy just sat on the bed and took a hand mirror to stare at herself
"Lady I am saying words here. *Sigh* I'll just wait for you while I talk to boss" Albert said and left.
DISTRICT 101, DEMON WORLD. PALACE
"Master. We just detected her again. And this time we can actually get to her..that is if she does not eliminate us before we speak up Dear Master"
A man was sitting on a throne looking at a picture. The other who just entered was a demon. He wasn't as disgusting as the other one. Infact, he looks like a human with different complexion.
The one on the throne looked at him and walked away from the room.
HUMAN REALM
"Settle down students. I know you all are still shocked concerning the attack on the new student Ivy Da Vinci. But word was sent that she's fine and is actually planning on continuing with her training today. And I expect you to do same" the teacher said and prepared to begin with his lessons
Just saying Ivy, some students started gossiping about her. Some were praising, others were insulting
"Did you notice the way she moved Donald? It's like she doesn't know he can't get hurt"
"She's so courageous. I'd like to make her my BFF you know"
"Last thing I need is another competition. But she's still no match for me ofcourse"
Nora was listening to what some of them said just sighed.
"Sometimes, it's nice to actually know someone before judging that person" Nora told the girl infront of her
"Excuse me?" the girl asked
"You heard me. You're not even up to a quarter of her strength" Nora said not looking at the girl "So quite boiling already and keep quiet. I'm trying to study here" she added and concerntrated on her book
The girl was so angry a lightning bolt threatened to come out of her hand that was now in a fist
"Calm down Chloe. She's no match for you" her friend tried to calm her
"Why_" Chloe was interupted by her friend who kept tapping her
"What is it?" Chloe asked in gritted teeth
Her friend pointed to the door where George, Donald and Albert were trying to sneak in without the teacher noticing. But it was rather unfortunate that the teacher still noticed without looking
"You do know I can feel your presence, right?" he asked still without looking
"Uhm... how are you doing sir. It's really been a long time since we saw each other. Well that's nothing to worry about. We'll just go to our seats and think about a way to make it up to you. Thanks for listening" Donald said
Donald was always the one to come up with excuses. He doesn't talk much but if someone was to be awarded for lying, it would be Donald.
"Rodriguez, De Relro and De Guzman. If you don't give me a valid excuse to why you are late, then I suppose you know the way to the detention room"
"UUUUHHH" the class immediately exclaimed
Just then someone walked in. "Seriously?" Nora face palmed herself
"And you are? That's not part of the dressing code here" he said finally lifting his head up
"Ivy Da Vinci. They came late trying to help me and you would not like to see my eyes. They've scared a lot of people"
"Ow Ivy. Sorry but you need a mentor to approve. Just take it off and if it's as scary as you said then I'll approve. Okay?"
"Humans" she absentmindedly said and removed her hood. Her hair usually has three red stripes, but now it was was almost a complete red hair. What really made people talk was the fact that she blind folded herself. With some hesitation, she removed the cloth leaving everyone in shock as some girls even screamed after seeing her eye.
It was completely red and was like a tiny skull was to form in it.
Even George and Donald were shocked. They didn't see it when leaving the apartment
"Wow. You girls sure know how to render one deft" Ivy said rubbing her ears "So? Am I approved?"
"Ye..yea.. yeah. You can put it back on" the teacher said while searching for his seat behind him. Ivy quickly moved to support him seat down
"I told you earlier that it's scary"
"Thanks"
That's not actually why he was scared. That mark of hers.
How come?
Why would a girl as young as her be cursed with such?
How is it even real?
'But for her to still be that calm.. what is she?' he thought still looking at Ivy as she moved to her seat wearing back her hood
