Withering Ivy: Chapter Fourteen

There was a part of me who enjoyed the busy days. Everyone rushed around like the world was on their shoulders and I just watched. I remembered feeling anxious and nervous about all that had to be done and accomplished...now I just ate my pudding with the correct spoon. Grace was very adamant about my table manners improving, she would make me put the silverware in its rightful spot, tie my back to the chair with a tie so I couldn't slouch, and make me poor tea. "The idea of eating dinner aro...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Thirteen

"You were gone too long," Grace whispered.

My fluttering eyes barely registered who it was that looked down at me until my eyes adjusted to the morning light. She was brighter than the sun, her smile contagious as I wrapped my arms around her neck and melted into her as she let her nails run up my back and into my hair where she kept me in place. "I was so sad when you weren't home." I let my nose feel her ear. "Where were you?" I asked

"Don't worry about it munchkin." She smiled ...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Twelve

The feeling of overwhelming joy crowded my senses as we pulled into the driveway of our home. The home I had come to miss and even think about when I was away. Not only had it suddenly become the place I was comfortable sleeping in, but it also had the people I wanted to see. What was it about me that made me feel like that? I obviously wanted to be with my parents. I obviously wanted my old life but at the same time, I had never felt the same as I did now.

Maybe I was odd, or crazed, o...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Eleven

We left early the following day. What we did not bring up or even acknowledged as Ms. Winslet and I sat in the lobby of the hotel, other business-minded men sat at the tables eating their breakfast but she deemed the acceptable spot to be a booth with a direct view of the television. The news was running its course and her brain was soaking up every single fact it could. Her interest really peeking as the stocks ran across the bottom of the screen. I couldn't figure out why that was any diffe...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Ten

My mind and body didn't connect as I watched her take off her jewelry and waited to feel her next to me again. I shook from excitement and nerves and breathed in her aroma every time it wafted my way. I couldn't believe how utterly attractive she was and to think she wanted to spend the night with me by her side didn't seem real. She embodied confidence and sexual dominance, her brunette hair brought out her olive skin and blue eyes while her body was full and matured like any woman her age w...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Nine

Ms. Winslet was modest in her wealth. Other than her acres of land she called home she didn't seem to spend money to look better than anyone else. The hotel she booked for us was a suite yet not overly tacky. A small kitchenette and living room were separated by one wall that led to the bedroom. I didn't want to go in there however, I stayed curled up on the couch until Tobby offered to play a game of cards. He was competitive but he was also kind. His manners showed themselves as he seemed t...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Eight

The drive towards our destination reminded me a lot of the first time I sat beside the stoic woman. The driver and guard wore the same black suits and hummed the same songs and Ms. Winslet ignored me in favor of the book she found herself indulging in. I, however, did not look forward wondering what would be next like I did that day but instead, I twisted my head to get another look at Grace who waved from the steps before disappearing back into our house.

I watched for a minute longer ...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Seven

Day in and day out I watched and felt the attitudes around me change back to what it once was. no more was there a few seconds of loneliness. From the wondering eyes of the gardener watching me from the water he sprayed on his flowers to the cook making sure I took each and every pill that was put in front of me. I was put back on the short leash with Grace behind me every step of the way.

She was angry with me, her words never left her mind, and her sunglasses hid any sort of emotion s...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Six

I had a good view of the rain that poured, the kitchen chair faced the window for me while a steaming cup of tea was placed beside me by the cook. I tried to muster out a thank you but she had already left. Again I was alone with nothing but a towel laid over my head and back to keep me warm. It was comforting, however, enough to keep me content while I watched the raindrops fight to make it to the ground first. A race that only the growing weeds found important. Heels clicked behind me, maki...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Five

Grace was quiet the next morning, I didn't know if she had stayed holding me that night because when I woke up I was cuddling some pillows that was where she once was. She was picking me out some new clothes and getting some hair products out and I laid there watching her. Hoping she would see me before I had to pretend to see her.

My wish was granted and the blonde shot a smile my way, a normal one that she had perfected. Who knew if it was real? "I have a bath ran for you."

"Tha...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Four

The land was beautiful, it had more grass and flowers than I had ever seen in my small city life. My dad has once assumed the roll of an urban farmer but it only took a week for them to wither and for the leaves to fall. It seemed second nature to the groundskeeper who waved at us from a far. His attention being quickly brought back to the raised bed he worked on.

"Ms. Winslet is very big on health and proper care. She likes to use as much home grown food as she can. Nina does an excell...

Withering Ivy: Chapter Three

Grace was kind, kinder than everyone else I had met up until then. She took time to show me every part of the house including the spots that didn't seem necessary, she kept looking at me seeing if I had anything to say but there was nothing important enough for me to add. I couldn't find the words. It felt like they were on the tip of my tongue but no one would listen. I couldn't take her not caring to hear either.

It wasn't until we had entered an office and Grace had finished talking ...

Emergency Vet Visit

This weekend my baby got into some poison. Luckily, it was caught quickly. This is the face of a dog that feels bad we had to spend so much money but would also do it again in a heartbeat.

WIP

Character inspirations, what could I possible have in mind?

What would you like to see?

Honestly you guys are doing so much for me, it's only right I do the same for you. If you would like to make a request (Fanfictions, Original stories, One-shot, etc.) Let me know! I will happily write a short story for you personally!

Withering Ivy: Chapter Two

I wasn't expecting congratulations but I wasn't expecting what came either. Suddenly I was a sold pet. The man leading me out of the big room to a hallway made that very clear when I told him my name and tried asking for help. "You've been bought. That's not your name anymore."

The hallway was wider than most, inside of it scattered plastic tables with different people waiting for me. The first was a nurse, she was polite and said hello again as she turned me to face the window. The win...

Welcome

This is new, maybe not for you guys. You probably have supported creatives on this before, but oddly I haven't. Baring with me is an understatement but trust is key. I have a lot planned for those of you willing to be here and my goal is to make it worth it. We have some fun things in store!

Withering Ivy: Chapter One

I wasn't supposed to be there that day. In fact, my parents almost begged me to accompany them on their anniversary vacation. "I'm too old for that," I remembered saying. What a fool I had been if only I had gone. If I only had put away my immaturity for a moment and didn't think about the extra money I could get from staying after I graduated and helping my old teachers. If only I had stayed in bed or simply didn't go into that cafeteria.

I wasn't supposed to be there.

I wasn't e...
