*Ivy*
I groaned and rubbed my eyes hoping I was fully awake and not dead. The silver is probably in my heart now, but I'm praying that because I'm a vampire, it didn't work. I heard someone muttering what sounded like a lullaby. Gramma Lucy, was rocking back and forth, mumbling a song in Italian.
Bye-bye, bye-bye
Rapidamente morire,
La mattina sarà gelo,
E andrai alla tomba-giardino.
Nonno verrà
E porterà la bara.
Nonna verrà
E porterà i vestiti gravi.
Madre arriverà
E canterà la canzone di preghiera.
Padre arriverà
E vi porterà al cimitero.
"Gramma, what's wrong? Why are you singing about death?" I asked scared. I couldn't comprehend why my gramma was singing a depressing song. I can't be dead! She can't be singing about me!
"You are afraid of death, no?" she asked.
"Of course I'm scared of death! I don't like to think about dying!" I yelled.
"Do not be afraid of death, rejoice it. Death is attracted to those that fear it and try to hide from it, but death will protect those who embrace it. Don't be afraid of death Ivy." she said.
"Am I dead?" I whispered.
"No. It's time for you to wake up. Take heed to what I said." Gramma Lucy's voice started fading, causing me to wake up with a gasp. Uriah jumped, but breathed a sigh of relief when she realized I was safe.
"Don't scare me like that again! I thought you were dead!" Uriah yelled. She gave me a tight hug, and it felt soothing.
"I thought I was too. Where is Uriel?"
As if on cue, Uriel walked in holding a tray full of food. He sat the tray down and ran to me.
"I thought I lost you." Uriel mumbled.
"Trying to get rid of me already?" I asked jokingly. Uriel smirked and kissed me. I think this might be my first kiss with him, but who cares?! It feels amazing!
"Of course not princess." Uriel mumbled.
"So uh, this is too much PDA for me so I'm going downstairs." Uriah said. After she left, it was a peaceful silence between us.
"Uriel?"
"Yes princess?"
"Where's my dad? I want to make sure he's ok." I said.
"He's currently in the clinic. We can go visit him right now if you want to." he said. I nodded happily which made Uriel laugh.
We eventually reached the clinic, and to be honest, the clinic looked like a house rather than a clinic. It had that home feeling to it and it didn't smell mediciney, if that's even a word. Dad was currently screaming and he sounded pretty upset.
"Dad, what's wrong?" I asked. I hope no one bothered him. I really don't want to hurt anyone right now.
"It's these stupid kids in this scary movie. I tell them to get out the house, they run to the most obvious place: a bathroom! Everyone knows the bathroom is the first place the killer looks at!" he yelled. Really? I thought it was a life threatening emergency!
"I thought it was a closet." Uriel said.
"Well it could be that too, but it's mainly the bathroom." dad said.
"When did you two start bonding?" I asked.
"We haven't. But now that you mention it, who are you and what the hell are you doing with my daughter?" he asked with a cold stare. This was so like my dad. Even though I've never had a boyfriend, he would threaten any boy that glanced my way. One time, a boy bumped into me. It was an accident, and of course the boy apologized quickly for bumping into me, but because I'm a runt, I got bruised. When dad saw it, he literally hung the boy over a cliff for 2 hours by a branch. The boy never spoke to me again and I think dad liked it that way.
"Dad, this is Uriel. He's my mate." I said while giving him the 'look.' The 'look' is basically me staring at dad with a cold stare. It lets him know that he better not embarrass me. Dad saw my glare and crossed his arms.
"I'm sorry we've never met sir. I've been protecting Ivy ever since the first attack." Uriel said. Smart move.... Uriel knew my dad would be accepting of him if he said he's been protecting me, which he has.
"Protecting her. Well I can't say that you haven't been doing a good job. Thank you." dad said. I smiled brightly knowing he just approved.
We talked for hours about everything. It was funny and one of the best moments of my life....so far.

As we were walking home, Ashely came up to me. I hissed and stepped in front of Uriel.
"What the hell do you want?"
"Don't worry Ivy. I don't want to fight. I want to talk." she said calmly.
"Why should I talk to you? You tried to kill me and dad. If anything, I should exile you." I said through clenched teeth. I can admit, now that I've become a werewolf/vampire, I've gained more confidence. So yes, I would definitely exile this bitch for trying to kill me.
"Just let me explain." she said. I glared at her and motioned her to follow me. We walked to a secluded area and I leaned against a tree.
"I know that you probably hate me right now. I'm probably the last one you want to see, but I honestly thought this idea was good. I was confused at first when mom said me killing dad wouldn't hurt her, but I let it go. I didn't know Ivy. If I had known, this wouldn't have happened. I was just upset that I lost the alpha title." she explained.
"Quick question: why do you hate me? What have I ever done to you?" I asked.
"I was always jealous of you Ivy. You were a runt and dad paid more attention to you than me."
"But you're popular Ashley. You got all the boys and invited to all the parties." I said.
"I would trade all that in for attention from dad. I would rather be at home spending time with dad, then partying with fake hoes." Ashley said. I gave her that 'really' look and she rolled her eyes.
"Ok so I would rather be at a party, but still! I just wanted to know that he still cared for me...like he did for you." Ashley said. My sisterly instincts kicked in, and I instantly felt bad. I never would've thought Ashley, of all people, would feel like that.
"I'm sorry Ashley. I wish I knew that." I said whole-heartedly.
"You? I'm the one that should be apologizing. I tried to kill you." Ashely said.
"It's ok... I don't hate you. It's just going to take a while for me to forgive you." I said. Ashley nodded in understand meant.
"I understand. Thanks for talking with me Ivy." I started to smile, but a sharp pain stabbed me before I could. I gasped in pain while bending over. My chest was killing me!
"What's wrong?" Ashley asked.
"Uriel...hurt...pack." I breathed out. Ashley helped me towards the pack clearing and pushed me in the house.
Uriel was on the floor clutching his chest. Donald was yelling at John about something, and Ashton was comforting a crying Uriah.
"What's going on with him?!" I yelled out.
"Marissa gave him a serum that causes pain to the body and paralyzation to the heart." Donald said.
"Can't you fix him?" Ashley asked while trying to calm me down.
"I can't. I would need an antidote to heal him and I have no idea what she gave him." John said. Of course it would be Marissa to give him something a pack doctor doesn't know. Uriel groaned before sitting up.
"That was even worse the second time." he commented.
"Don't worry alpha. I'll do some research and get you an antidote." John said. Uriel nodded and walked upstairs, with me following close behind him.
"Someone has to kill her." I said.
"I know, but she always manages to get away."
"Not anymore. The next time I see her, I'm going to kill her without hesitation. I promise." And with that I walked out.
