''Mornin River'' I said as I walked over to Rivers' room to find him still fast asleep. I looked over to my watch, it was eight in the morning and he missed breakfast with everyone else. That wasn't like him. Food usually came first to him.
''River!'' I walked over to him and nudged him.
''I'm up, I'm up!'' River muttered, opening his eyes.
''What are you doing here?'' River asked, rubbing his eyes.
''You missed breakfast and Octavius was wondering where you and Ivy were'' I said, smirking. ''I figured you were both still asleep.
''Yeah I overslept''. River said, placing his hands in his head and yawning.
''Yeah you both missed a nice brekkie''.
River removed his hands from his face looking terrified.
''Shit, where's Ivy? Was she sleeping in your room?!'' River asked, beginning to freak out.
''No, I thought she was in here considering you share a bedroom'' I informed him, still confused at his sudden reactions.
River began to walk to my bedroom and I followed behind him.
''River what is going on?'' I asked him as he opened the door to my bedroom.
''I never heard her come back last night, I went to bed early so I figured she slept in your room''.
''And you only thought to mention this now?!'' I yelled.
I ran down to the kitchen River hot on my tail. I burst in to see the head chef and Her assistant preparing lunch.
''Are you alright?'' The chef asked.
''Do you happen to know if Agent Ivy returned last night?''I asked.
''Yes, she went up to take a shower last night'' The assistant responded. I nodded my head and ran to Ivy's bathroom. It was locked. I pounded my fist on the door, but there was no response.
''Why would she have slept in the bathroom?'' River panted.
''Do I look like a fucking mind reader to you'' I snapped. For once in my life I didn't know what was happening and it was getting to me. I tried getting the door to open but it was jammed.
''Move over'' River said as he pushed me to the side. River backed up and ran into the door knocking it down.
''I didn't know you could do that'' I said shocked.
''Ivy taught me how to do it,"River said, rubbing his arm.
River walked in and I followed behind.
''What the hell happened to her?'' River muttered, frowning.
I went over to where River was standing and looked in the tub. Ivy was lying down in the bathtub hugging her sides, and a small puddle of blood had formed near her lower body.
