21 Face to face

....

Things are happening, and I don't understand... Am confused and those teary feelings seems to be taking control of me....

Watery eyes....Bitter eyes, this is so strange, but the more I drown, the more my bloody thirst strengthens....

...

"How dare you come here" The faint voice yelled out, twisting my arm a whole lot tighter, as I slowly close my eyes, racking for the next thing to do, trying to regain my breath back....

I have to do something, my head racked for a brief second, as I slowly let out a deep breath, before finally bracing myself to look round to see who it actually was....

Hesitantly turning around, as my eyes slowly drifted up to the blurry image that was standing obviously boiling right in front of me, as my eyes slowly met up.....

It was a man?, Well nothing special about that, but he was actually someone I've never seen before, that got my heart twisting....

Tall figure, long black hair with beard eating up his face, covering almost all of his chin.....

To think of it, he looks a little bit like Ryan, well except for the beard and hair colour part, but somehow, in a way I just couldn't understand everything felt strange, It actually felt.... DIFFERENT!....

Something was definitely odd, and I guess it somehow quickly caught my attention, it wasn't just his strong creepy aura, but it was his strange looking eyes....

They were green, but strangely just like mine?, except the fact that they were more dead and lifeless just like my cursed fate, just like my misery.....

Everything was so puzzled up and I could strangely feel something inside me ticking, as I slowly staggered backwards, watching his eyes slowly change to something like that of sadness?, that I just couldn't put my finger to...

This feelings was so strange, and for the first time in like forever, I could feel my heart drowning the more in my chest, as I kept on watching his now teary eyes flashing bitterness, I knew so well and always felt every goddamn day of my life....

"Grace?" His faint voice muttered out, drowning the last life in me, as the door slowly creaked open, revealing Charlie's confused look staring straight into my already blurry eyes....

"Cha... charlie" I stammered, as the tears slowly threatened to fall, making the rest of the word sadly stuck on my throat....

"Why did you leave me" He cried bringing me into his sad tight embrace, as the tears on my pathetic eyes couldn't hold on anymore, killing me with so much bitterness and pain....

He's my father, My mind blurted out, as I could feel my shaking hands, trying so hard not to finally lose it all....

He's actually my father, but the truth was that I would never be his Grace, not ever, cause those awful demons finally snatched her away from us, with absolutely no shitty mercy at all.....

"A...am sorry" I stammered, as I slowly drew myself away from his embrace, trying so hard not to meet his eyes, with my already teary ones....

"Am sorry, am not Grace, but Ivy" I mumbled painfully, staring at nothing in particular, as I kept on biting the lower corner of my lips, trying so hard not to lose the last bit of sanity in me...

"Why do you keep on lying to me, it's been so long, I've waited for you all my life" I could hear his painful words ringing into my ears, as I lifelessly held my jumpers a whole lot tighter....

"Am sorry" I mumbled silently, slowly drifting away from him, as my shaking legs kept on moving a whole backward, but my teary eyes just couldn't help but drifting up to finally meet his confused miserable ones....

"A...am Ivy, not my mother" I repeated out weakly, squeezing my cloth painfully, even though I was already slowly falling apart...

"What is she saying"....

"Dad, I .." I could hear Charlie's voice echoing out, as I tried so hard controlling myself from breaking down, even though I was completely losing it....

"You are my daughter" His voice ranged straight into my head, as I slowly lifted my painful eyes back to his, before looking away immediately...

"I would leave now" I mumbled faintly, as the teardrops kept on wetting the dried floor, before immediately vanishing into thin air, as my shaking legs kept on taking total control of me....

I shouldn't have came here, I whispered lifelessly to myself, as I ran far away from everything and everyone....

.....

"CHARLIE'S P.O.V"....

...

"I would leave now"... I could hear Ivy bitter voice mumbling out, before she immediately vanished into thin air, leaving the already wetted floor....

All she had ever done was to keep all her emotions to herself, without ever letting anyone in...

No love, No tears, all ever seen in her eyes was pain, and pure agony, but this... this changes everything....

She was actually falling apart and I just can't bare the very sight of it...

I have to be with her, cause I swear, God was the only one that knows what exactly she would do to herself in this state of mind..

My head racked fearfully, as I slowly drifted my gaze back on my confused miserable father, sadly...

"Dad, please stay calm, I swear I would explain everything" I mumbled, fixing my anxious fearful eyes at him, before quickly calling a nearby servant to take him up to his room, even though he kept on trying to pull away....

This is the best for you, for everyone now, I mumbled bitterly, as I painfully watch my helpless father been taking away before my very eyes....

I swear I would make every goddamn person responsible for my father's condition pay for this, I whispered painfully to myself, with my already clenched fist, before finally running out of the house to search for where on earth she could possibly be....

"Ivy!" I yelled fearfully, with my racing heart, as I kept on rubbing my forehead over and over again....

I swear if she as much does any shitty thing to herself, I would never be able to survive it, I mumbled fearfully, before calling out her name over again, only to finally spot a faint slender figure, standing lifelessly at the lonely corner of the lake....

...

"IVY'S P.O.V"....

I ran out of the house like a completely insane person, only to cry all my pain out, but when there was no more tears, all I could do was to stand like a dead man, staring lifelessly at a little lake side, cursing my very own shitty existence....

Aunt you shouldn't have saved me that day, I mumbled bitterly to myself, as I could feel tears slowly gathering round my eyes the hundredth time today....

"You shouldn't have!" I yelled out angrily, with all the frustration and agony in me...

You shouldn't have saved me, cause I would have been finally happy with my mother on her grave. Peace!, I would finally have...

My insane brain racked, as I slowly place my face right on my palms, with shitty tears eating me alive once again....

"Ivy?" A warm faint voice called out to me, as I slowly looked up, before helplessly running into his embrace, hugging him tightly with ever last strength in me, cause I really didn't shitty care anymore, of what the crap that was going to happen next....

"It's ain't fair" I mumbled helplessly, as I placed my head slowly on Charlie's shoulders, hugging him a whole lot tighter, as I slowly felt his arms, that kept on giving me shivers, wrapped around mine...

"Everything would be fine, I swear" His voice echoed on my weary ears....

"No it's won't" I mumbled quietly, before painfully closing my eyes shut....

"I want my revenge for making him suffer"...

"And you'll get your vengeance" He mumbled painfully, as I slowly let go of him, before slowly drifting my painful gaze straight into his bright eyes....

"How?" I said, still fixing my gaze with him....

"Follow me" He said, before quickly holding me on the arm, as he slowly drifted his gaze back on me....

"The warehouse is our only hope now" His voice ranged straight into my mind, as I slowly nodded my head determining, before sadly wiping my painful tears away, slowly staring back at him....

"L...Let's go" I whispered, as he quickly pulled me along him closely....

All my hope is in the you, Warehouse....Please don't fail me now, I whispered painfully, before slowly lifting my painful legs up to walk along...
