   AS THE STARRY SKY BEGAN TO LIGHTEN, ivy listened intently to the sounds of birds as they began to wake within the forbidden forest. perhaps if this was her first year at hogwarts, sheâd wonder why the hell they still called it forbidden, considering they were in the place more than they were in the castle these days. TENTS had been raised within their corner and all adorned the FADED GOLD of hufflepuff with pride. no one else seemed to be awake yet, and she wished there was tea to warm up her hands. ivy also wished she wasnât awake at all, since it didnât feel as safe as sleep did. when she was asleep, she wasnât ruining friendships or making bad choices. BUT ASLEEP. . . she wouldnât get frank back.Â
  THIS WAS HER CHANCE TO PROVE HERSELF. become the asset that the monsters needed her to be in order to give her what she wanted. as much as the gaunts had been as welcoming as they could be, it wasnât them she needed to impress. NOT FOR NOW. xavier had given her a starting point, but sheâd be useless to him or anyone else if she couldnât win them over. theyâd lead her to frank if she played this right. anyway, wasnât it cold? she could swear she hadnât felt it until the image of her brother had played in her mind, but now she recognized cold and even some fear, considering the forest was. . . dark. ivy ran her hands down her bare arms, wishing SPRING brought with it WARMTH.Â
  THE SOUND OF UNZIPPING MADE HER TURN BACK, to find a familiar mop of blond hair wrestling his tall frame out of a tent. â up so early? â lysanderâs routines had been hard to keep up with lately, but at least it was him. she wasnât sure she was quite ready for anyone else to see her winnie the pooh pyjama bottoms; it would not be a great start to her goal of showcasing her newly honed SIREN ABILITIES. it would be at least an hour before dawn fully arose. so ivy grabbed a grubby blanket and climbed onto one of the wooden benches, sitting with her butt on the table. she held up one end of the blanket, making herself tiny in the other end. â you up to watch the sunrise or help me plan to destroy the others? â
   THEYâD WORKED OUT SOME IDEAS. for example, the flag was somewhere not even they knew, just in case anyone wanted to play DIRTY. she wouldnât put torture past some of them, actually. bones and king had been the unanimous choice to hide and guard the flag, since they were the dopiest, most innocent looking of all, whilst IVY and XANDER were offence. â you look like shit by the way, which is no good for our strategy of you distracting anyone even remotely attracted to the male race. â in her defense, hufflepuff didnât have much else to rely on. BEING LOVED was their power, since the other houses were either BRUTES, VILLAINS or ANNOYING NERDS. of course, she loved them all. . . but not today, she didnât.
