Poison Ivy

Remembering

As soon as we left the library, it was really quiet. I waved to the others as I walked off.

Sigh...

I felt bad not telling him the reason I wear my hoodie, but I never told anyone. Only my family knows.

Flashback

"Come on Ivy, lets play tag!" shouted my younger sister Lily, who was laughing after a game of hide and seek. I was panting, but I laughed.

"Sure." I smiled.

Suddenly, our mother burst out the back door into the backyard, with a large plate of lemonade and cookies.

"Ivy, Lily! Come take a break and have a quick snack!" she shouted and left the plate on the little table on the patio.

I ran over and sat down to eat. Lily sat next to me.

"Hey, Ivy..." she looked over to me.

"Yes?" I looked back.

"Who's that?" she pointed to a dark figure, standing by the fence, staring at us.

I took one look at the figure.

"Lily, I think you should get inside." I whispered to her. She nodded, and quickly rushed into the house. But it was too late. I heard a loud shriek and rushed right after Lily to see mom sitting on the floor, crying. In front of her, was my father.

"W-wha..." a chill ran up my spine.

Lily slowly walked over to mom and sat down next to her. I ran over to my father.

"H-he... he can't be..." I trembled with fear. I stepped back.

Suddenly, Lily was grabbed in a choke hold, with a knife placed to her neck. It was that figure we saw earlier.

"No!" I screamed.

Suddenly, I dashed toward the man and grabbed his arm tightly.

"Let go!" I shouted at him.

He smirked and pulled the knife from Lily's neck. Lily fell to the ground. He stared at me.

With a quick slash of the small blade, a large gash emerged on my eye.

Falling to the ground in shock, I yelped in pain and covered my eye.

My mom quickly ran over to me and shook me.

But, I was already unconscious.

End of Flashback

I placed a hand over my right eye as I remembered the pain. I kept walking faster till I got home.
