1 001 - A Promise

Ivory. Just Ivory, that's how everyone knew them.

Sure Ivory had a last name, a middle name too, but nobody actually knew that. Ivory was a friend to anyone and a safe space for many but that's just how Ivory was. Only 6 or so people ACTUALLY knew Ivory.

Because of this many bad things happened.

This is but the beginning of a short recount about the person named Ivory, as they only existed for 7 years before they disappeared completely.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"Mum someone's at the door!" called a 7 year old child from the top of the stairs before they quickly climbed down them occasionally missing a step but somehow avoiding injury in a somewhat practised manner.

"Can you get it Ivory I'm busy ' the minute" called the familiar voice of Ivory's mother who was currently covered in soapy water up to her elbows.

"Sure mum" replied the small child, Ivory, who had already reached the door and was pulling open the front door to reveal a handsome gentleman who just so happened to be a teacher at Ivorys school. Ivory was currently dressed in a black knee length corset style Skater skirt, white shirt, black brogues and black ankle socks whilst Ivory's hair was down loose and had only been brushed to style it. There hair was slightly curly and fell to just above there waist so there honey brown hair cascaded down there shoulders and back portraying, in full view, of its uncontrollable temperament.

"Hello, Mrs Thompson, I've come to discuss a matter regarding Ivory." Claimed the husky voice of Ivory's teacher which gave out a dangerous feeling.

"Hello, Mr Francis." Replied Ivory's mother in a cool but dry tone. Mr Francis seamed to hold a vendetta against her child without reason so his visits always incured Ivory's mother's ire.

"..."

"Yes?" Pressed Ivory's mother out of confusion. This man didn't quite seam right today, he'd normally be ranting and raving about something Ivory had soposedly done or said.

*CRASH!!!*

"What was that!?" screeched Ivory's mother in surprise. Just then a sinister smirk couldn't help but crawl it's way onto Mr Francis' face, although it only lasted a moment before it was banished again and replaced by a concerned look if someone had blinked they would have missed it. However Sophia, Ivory's mother, didn't blink and she saw it in its intirety.

"What did you do!" interrogated the clearly agitated mother.

"Nothing! why would I do something to your child?!" Lied the man through his teeth without a second thought.

Upstairs Ivory had suddenly been attacked...
