Wrapped in the Coils of Love

Chapter 17- No More Games

Later That Night...

IVY'S P.O.V.

'It's time.', I think.

I have to make my move now.

I quietly slither over to the hotel room door, listening and waiting.

I can hear Robert's mom talking to someone out there while Robert is swimming down in the pool.

Robert's mom bids whoever she's talking to farewell, and then walks back into the hotel room.

As soon as she closes the door, I wrap my coils around her feet.

I yank her feet from out underneath her, causing her to hit her head on the floor hard.

She's momentarily stunned, and I quickly take my chance.

I wrap the rest of my coils around her neck, and squeeze.

She starts to struggle, trying to kick out, but can't, as I have her legs wrapped up tightly in my coils.

She chokes a little, and starts beating at me with her fists.

I bite her right hand hard, causing her to scream in pain.

Unfortunately for her, that's exactly what I wanted her to do.

So, before she can even get half of a scream out, I tighten my coils around her neck.

I can see the life draining from her eyes, and I smile.

I stare directly into her dying eyes, squeezing tighter on her neck.

Suddenly, my vision goes white for a split second, causing me to become momentarily stunned.

"You fucking monster!", I hear someone yell at me.

I quickly realize that it's Robert who's yelling at me.

Robert grabs my head, and slams it against the floor, causing me to see stars.

ROBERT'S P.O.V.

I quickly untangle my Mom from out of Ivy's coils.

She coughs and gags as I help her to her feet.

"Are you okay Mom?!", I ask her, my voice a little shakey.

She nods as she coughs some more, rubbing her now sore neck.

"We need to leave. Now.", my Mom coughs.

She starts to stumble over to her purse, but I stop her.

"Just get downstairs to the truck. I won't be far behind.", I say to my Mom as I hand her the keys.

My Mom looks me in my eyes.

"Robert, no. Let's just get away while we can.", my Mom says, her voice sounding very sore.

"I want to Mom, really, I do. But if I don't take care of Ivy now, she'll just come after us later on.", I say.

"I said NO Robert!", my Mom says in a firm tone.

I sigh, then look back over at Ivy.

She looks back at me.

"If you ever come after us, I'll kill you.", I warn her.

She frowns, and then lunges at me.

I quickly kick her in her head, stunning her once more.

I look back at my Mom, and nod.

We run.
