"Ivy the man was grieving his wife and he snapped and I will have words with him and I will rip his head off if you want me to, but I was stuck in fight and flight"

"right so that completely excuses the fact he attacked me. got it," she muttered and walked into the room where her mum and dad were. she stood by agatha and tried to put her head on again. "i have to live with the fact that marcus manipulated me and that made me not help angel. i could have saved her, i was there next to him when it happened, but i did nothing cos he convinced me that it was all her doing."

"I said you were acting like a monster not that you were one for christ sake today has been a shit show okay? I am sorry if I reacted badly but today has been hell"

"it's the same thing!" she snapped. She rolled her eyes and reached the room where Agatha and tony were. "Well I don't forgive you and I won't for a long time. You promised to protect me and you failed at that. Again."

"Ivy I punched him in the face when he first strangled you, I came from nowhere and did that, I was in shock when he slammed you against the wall, both at the fact you were fine with dead Angel and you wouldn't help and what he was doing"

"you may have punched him, but you still sided with him. You called me a monster." She shrugged her shoulders and looked ahead as she walked along again. "It doesn't matter anyway. You've all made up your mind."

"what do you mean why do I care?" he snapped and followed her.

"why would you care?" she asked as she walked along. "you automatically assumed that i wanted my best friend dead, didn't even have the ability to think that something was obviously wrong. not only that, but you also let geralt smash my head in and strangle me, you called me a monster and you banned me from seeing my own kids. i can't go anywhere near angel because geralt has also banned me." she turned a corner and walked down the corridor. "you automatically turned on me and sided with geralt. angel would have known straight away that something was wrong, but apparently men don't have the ability to use their pea sized brains. and also my parents are dead. you can explain to the kids that you banned their mum from seeing them."

Jack pounces on their frozen forms breaking them to a million pieces. he transforms back and looked at her " are you okay?"

Ivy blinked as they broke into tiny pieces and then she turned to face Jack, the spell that she had on her broken. "Why do you care?" She asked flatly and walked off.

Jack follows her along, he stands beside her tall and strong as a brown wolf. Angel shakes her head and just holds onto him. She closed her eyes .

Ivy looked down at wolf jack and then at snow and David before she slowly started freezing them. Geralt kissed her head and comforted her the best he could.

Ruby comes and takes the kids for ice cream giving Angel and Geralt some space. Angel holds onto him and tries but it doesn't help. Jack prowls through the halls and kills hundreds of David's men, he bites into their necks shaking them like chew toys.

Geralt kissed her head and rubbed her back. "Anything you need?" He asked softly. Ivy left the room after a while and she walked down the hall. She watched Jack kill David's men, then she went to find Snow and David.

She hugged her back and then wiped at her face, she sat up and removed herself from the kids and scrubbed her face and neck. Her breaths coming out shallow as panic took over. Jack was going to rip the heads off david and Snow if it were the last thing he ever did.

Geralt came to her side and he rubbed her back. "Deep breaths," he said softly. "I'm here," he promised. Ivy climbed down from the balcony and left her room. She went to sit with Agatha and Tony. She saw Agatha's head not on her body and she tried to put it back together as she cried quietly and without realising, she set off a bad snowstorm.

She pulled Ivys kids close too, and hugged them all, she kissed all of their heads. GJ giggled and poked Geralt. Jack sighed " fuck sake woman we are not getting a divorce" He growled and then turned into a wolf and ran to find david and snow.

Geralt smirked and poked him back. "You're cheeky," he teased. Tilly climbed on Angel and hugged her. "You has blood on your face," she said. Ivy looked back at him. "Yes we are," she said flatly. She watched him go and remained where she was.

She pulled Ivys kids close too, and hugged them all, she kissed all of their heads. GJ giggled and poked Geralt. Jack sighed " fuck sake woman we are not getting a divorce" He growled and then turned into a wolf and ran to find david and snow.

Geralt smirked and poked him back. "You're cheeky," he teased. Tilly climbed on Angel and hugged her. "You has blood on your face," she said. Ivy looked back at him. "Yes we are," she said flatly. She watched him go and remained where she was.

She nods and closes her eyes, she cries against him, She smiles when the kids all come in and pile on her, she hugs her children close. Jack sighed " You do too" he looked at her " come on we will go see them together but you do not leave my sight"

Geralt kept her close to him and he rubbed her back. "It's okay," he whispered. He smiled when the kids came in and watched Jack's kids stay back. Ivy remained where she was. "No thanks. You and Eddie have already made it very clear I'm a danger to them and since you think that, you can have primary custody of the children when we divorce."

I will eventually she seems to be saying it more to convince herself, she hugs into him. Jack sighs and looks at her " You are too close to the end" He frowned.

Geralt kissed her head and held her close to him, not letting her go. You're on bed rest until I say so, he told her. Ivy rolled her eyes and looked ahead. "Don't you have the children to take care of instead of bothering me?"

Angel moved over for him so he could sit with her. She looked at him a look that said I will be okay. Jack frowned and sensed she was in danger, he burst into the room.

Geralt climbed in next to her and wrapped his arm around her. Are you sure? he asked. Ivy jumped when she heard noise and turned her head. She saw Jack. "What are you doing? I told you to stay the fuck away from me."

She nods but doesn't talk, she just holds Emily, after a while she heads to her room and just lays there, she curls up and cries softly. Jack sighs and looks down" Fuck" he muttered " but least they are home in the human world safe, but david and snow are still storming this castle and Ivy won't come out"

Rowena watched her go and sighed. She checked on the kids to make sure they were fed and then got them to bed. Geralt headed to their room and he sat on the edge of the bed. Sally nodded. "Perhaps deal with Snow and David and you might be able to deal with the problem," she shrugged. Ivy climbed out of bed and headed to the balcony where she sat on top of the stone and stared down at the ground.

Angel hugs Emily and holds her on her lap, she kisses her head. Ruby comes in and smiles " Emily your mama is off baking remember" she lies with ease " and miss Angel needs to rest". Jack sighed and punched a wall breaking a good chunk off.

Geralt watched Emily and smiled a little. "She'll be around in no time little miss," he said softly. Emily watched them all and sighed. "Oki, I wants to show her my drawing," she mumbled and hugged angel. Sally found Jack and Eddie after a while. "Kids are asking for their mum," she said. Rowena looked at Angel. "Any better?"

Eddie sighed and watched, he walked with Jack after her, he healed Ivys head and tried to figure out how to take off whatever marcus has done to her head. Jack sighs and watches her. Angel nods and watches her mum, she sees the kids and smiles softly.

Ivy shoved Eddie's hand away and continued to walk to her room. She reached it and then slammed the door on their faces and climbed into bed. She didn't move from the spot again. Rowena sat beside her and she placed her hand on her throat, healing it as much as she could. Geralt returned with the drink and handed it to her. Emily came into the room and frowned. "No mama?"

"Ivy do you think Angel helped them murder them? That she was involved?" He asked and looked down. Angel sighed and looked down, she closed her eyes she couldn't talk she had tried when she saw the kids but nothing.

"Obviously, she did. I saw it with my own eyes," she snapped. "Now if you two don't leave, I will have you executed for treason too," she added. She rubbed her head and made her way to her room. Geralt rubbed her back and kissed her head. "I'll get you a drink," he told her. Rowena smiled a little as she watched Angel. "Shall I heal you a bit more?"
