Discovering the truth in the darkness
Lucy
I was dead by the next morning. Merwin groaned as the alarm clock went off. She was about to throw her pillow at it when mom slammed the door open.
"Don't you dare break another alarm clock," she spoke as she turned on the light.
"So mean," Merwin grumbled.
"Ladies, go get ready, Js already up and eating breakfast," mom told us.
"Well J actually likes school," I say "he likes everything,"
"Maybe you need to think that way to," mom spoke and I simply grinned then got up.
I didn't realize yesterday but Drake was in my history class. Since he transferred this year, he hadn't taken the class last year so he had to take it this year.
"What do you think Lucy?" The teacher spoke, his voice hoarse for he had been smoking during the break in between classes.
"Um...." I try to act like I was thinking but I think everyone knew I was faking. Half the class was asleep anyway, but I needed to pass this class, so I flipped my book open trying to find the answer to a question I couldn't remember. The teacher sighed.
"You there, what do you think?" I looked behind me to see he was pointing at Drake.
He shrugged.
"I don't know," he began "the government maybe,"
"Why do you say that?" He asked.
"Just a guess," Drake replies.
"Well guesses aren't good enough for my class," his hoarse voice scolded.
"Nothing good enough for your class," I mutter, Drake heard me and I saw a grin form on his face.
"I'm glad you're in here," I mouth.
"Me to," he responded.
Lunch was next and I was starved and my head hurt from looking in the history book for so long. Drake followed behind me, since we were going to the same place.
"History is the worst," I complain and he nodded in agreement.
"It sucks," he spoke on agreement.
"Hey Drake," I begin, he looked at me in the eyes showing me that he was focused on me. Only making me more nervous. "Do you want to maybe...like...go out some-"
"I'm busy during the nights," he interrupted. A look of regret passed his face. "Not that you're not pretty, you're gorgeous and I'd love to go out with you but-"
"You don't have time for me," I mutter, he sighed and was about to defend himself. "Don't pity me," I spat then I stormed in front of him. At a quick pace so he couldn't catch up with me.
I took my seat next to Jermone and made Amber sit on my other side.
Drake came to sit down, but noticing his seat was taken he sat beside James.
"What's wrong?" Jermone asks me, his face sincere. I said nothing. Nothing was wrong I was just rejected. But it doesn't matter, it was only based on attraction anyway, besides Drake and I probably wouldn't work out anyway. That's the excuse I keep telling myself. Jermone wasn't buying it, I whispered to him that I'd tell him later. He simply nodded. He then glanced at Drake and I could swear for a split second I saw malice in his eyes.
Dad came over earlier than he ever had. He said he needed me and had to come early to see me this month.
"I....n..need ya kiddo," he began. What he told me next was something I never thought I'd do, but I'd do anything to help him.
When I went to go tell Merwin that I was going out with dad, I saw her sitting in her bed talking to Daniel.
"We're just face timing about homework," she spoke with a shrug, even though there was no books or paper around her.
"Ok, I'll be back later ok?"
"Where you going?" She asks.
"I'm not going anywhere I'm still here, String Bean," Daniel spoke but Merwin told him to shut up for a minute.
"Just,...helping out dad ok? Please let me do this," she sighed but nodded.
"I don't see why I need to shut up," Daniel began and I simply laughed and winked at Merwin, who turned crimson.
Ianthe
I felt as if I was going to die. As if, something was moving,changing inside me and I couldn't stop it. I lay panting as I couldn't stop squirming I'm my bed. I held back my screams, but couldn't help it when I let out a gasp.
This was no hangover, something was happening to me. I just didn't know what yet. I sucked for air, then I couldn't keep it in any longer, I allowed myself to scream.
Lucy
The Joker needed me against Batman, for he had a new sidekick who was around my age. Jermone insisted on coming with us.
Dad made me dress in his signature colors. They suited me but I felt like it wasn't me I saw. Just a part of me trying to take over my body.
Jermone Having clown makeup on looked viscous as if he could be Pennywises twin who didn't have busy hair.
I heard a scream and then another. I looked at dad but he simply shrugged and told us to hurry on. I followed and grasped a mask on my way out.
Ianthe
Harley came as soon as I yelled.
"What's wrong?" Lydia asks, as she sat beside me on the bed. "Ianthe, stop moving so much,"
I shook my head. My body was not in control of itself.
"Ianthe, what? What have you done?"
"Nothing unusual," I gasp out.
"Don't lie to us," Lydia began.
"I made love again," I confessed. Harley sighed.
"I thought you stopped doing that Ianthe," she spoke.
"It...this was different I like went on dates with him first and stuff," I say.
"Was it Will?" Lydia asks and I simply nodded. After I saw him at the bar that day, I had to be around him again. I feared telling my sisters for they would think I was addicted to sex again so I kept it to myself. Besides it was only once. It's hard to battle your old self, to change your habits, they either end up haunting you or coming back and consuming you. "Are you...pregnant?" She asks.
"I...don't think so," I told her.
"I can't find Lucy? What's wrong?" Rowan spoke as he entered the room.
"Ianthes been acting strange," Lydia told him.
"I don't think I'm...normal I...it's like I'm dying but not I-" I felt a sharp pain and let out a slight moan of pain.
"Ianthe,have you..:" Rowan began but Harley just whispered at him "will" "did he bite you?" Rowan continued.
"Do I have a hickey?" I asked clutching my neck. Rowan cussed at my answer.
"Wills not human is he?" He asks, I shook my head.
"I thought he was," I respond.
"Rowan what are you thinking?" Harley ask.
"If she was bitten by a Fae then his powers would have been transferred to her, she..She's turning," he spoke, a look of sorrow formed his face.
"Turning into what?" Lydia asks.
"An immortal," a voice spoke from the doorway, Aedion, "like me." Aedion paused as he ran his fingers through his blonde hair. "It's in our family, I got it in our genes and Since Lydia was a shadow hunter, the Fae blood doesn't affect her, Rowan I assume was born a Fae so he'd know more than any of us, and you and Harley simply skipped it. But you still have Fae blood and yours was activated when this guy was with you so...now your turning," I simply nodded. There was nothing I could do about it now.
"It um..." Harley paused "didn't skip me,"
"What?!" Aedion began looking crushed, like he wished Harley had told him this before. She didn't even tell me or Lydia, she should have.
"Rowan's helped me control it and Aedion I...I let Rowan take my blood oath," she spoke.
"Blood oath?" Lydia questioned.
"Whoever has the blood oath is the most loyal, the chosen of the Fae it's taken from," Rowan explained. Aedion looked as if he was about to break.
"I know he's your lover but,..." he forced back his tears "ever since we were kids you promised me your blood oath, you said....that I was your bodyguard and I was...you promised me," he choked out, Harley was about to speak but he ignored her. He looked at me. "Are you alright ianthe?" I simply nodded as I sat up.
And then I felt as if everything looked clearer.
"Ianthe," Harley began but I already knew, my eyes was different. My body was different. My teeth was different. I was different.
Lucy
Having dad lead us into a dark alley seemed to much like a bad situation.
"Joker, I really don't want to do this in front of your daughter," Batman spoke. Dad simply laughed and gestured is to go fight the boy then attacked.
"Cmon Lu," Jermone spoke as he lead me toward Robin. I don't see why Jermone was so eager.
Robin was about a head taller than me, his hair was black like a Ravens, and his mask his his face but his lips were plump. They were huge almost as huge as-
Jermone got my attention and I snapped out of my fantasy. The Jokers daughter and Batman's sidekick yeah like that was going to happen anyway!
Robin simply examined us as I was examining him.
"I knew there was something about you," he spoke looking at Jermone, then he looked at me "I'm sorry," he began but before he could say anything else, Jermone punched him. And kept punching him and he didn't stop. Robin tried to struggle out of his grip but couldn't. Jermone was smiling as he did so, a simply laugh leaving his throat. He was enjoying this. But how?
"Jermone," I begin but her ignored me. The boys face was becoming a color of darkness and aching. "Jermone that's enough or you're going to beat him to death,"
"That's the point," he muttered. But I didn't want someone to die tonight and I just be a witness and not do anything about it. Mom was right, this is wrong. I never should have came.
"Jermone," I plea again, he stopped for a second aggravated as he glanced at me. "Please," I whispered. He held my stare for a moment. Then he sighed and threw Robin onto the ground and stormed away. I grasped his arm. "Thank you," I tell him. He says nothing as he leaves.
Robin lay there panting.
"That was pathetic," I tell him "that you couldn't even fight for yourself, why are you even out on the battlefield?"
"I didn't see you fighting either," he muttered.
"I don't like to fight innocent people," I tell him. He says nothing, he seemed to be lost in his own world, in his own thoughts.
He cursed. "What?" I ask him.
"Nothing its a stupid concern," I looked at him till he told me. "I've got a stupid history test tomorrow," he then sat up. Aware that he could have given away his identity but I really didn't care.
"I don't care who you are, and I wouldn't tell even if I did know," he let out a weak laugh.
Batman then came and shoved past me and helped Robin up.
"Let's go," he spoke.
"Thanks," Robin told me I simply smiled. He then laughed "I guess you're busy during the nights to huh?" Then it hit me. Before I could say anything he was gone. Drake.
A/N: thanks so much for reading! I thought I left a plot hole from previous chapters about Ianthe and Will so I hoped this helped fill it. What's your thoughts on having Ianthe become Fae? Or about Lucy and Drake and Jermone? Let me know your thoughts and predictions in the comments? Thanks so much! Have a great day and be happy! Love you all! :)
