Part 2: 4 2 1 (For you); Chapter 87: Second sword- revenge

Ivy sat in bed that night after Ray left as she hugged Daisy in her arms while rubbing the empty space next to her. "What are you afraid of Ivy?" She asked herself as she wondered about her refusal to fall asleep alone or in the dark.

"Are you going to keep spiraling in your world of confusion?" Ivy questioned herself as she stared into the pitch-dark sky outside the window.

"Are you going to let the fear grip you like a poor weakling? You aren't that weak Ivy... You are always stronger... Why are you letting yourself dwell on hopelessness?" She questioned as she slowly drew herself into the dark abyss. She quickly opened her eyes when she felt the wind only to find herself awake in her paracosm.

This time, she sat by a high cliff where it was very windy while she stared with her piercing eyes at the abyss where the aurora-lited sky was. She was confused for a second as her messed-up memories kept replaying in her mind and stirring her emotions.

She recalled the first time she saw the ember by the plains of irises and it didn't burn her. The snippets of her and Phoenix playing his harp as he gave her a bouquet of the yellow iris as a proposal and how he kept his promise to protect her from Petunia and the serpents.

She was touched as a moment of hesitation gave Jason the chance to escape. Avinha, on the other hand, took the chance to push on more lust for vengeance into her.

Ivy tried to shift her focus back on the enemies lurking around her. She could see evil Jason's shadow as memories of Jason tutoring and teaching her life lessons flood her mind.

She shook away those memories as she began to realise her reality was messing up her paracosm but she realised it was evil Jason's weakness to break through his world. Protecting her was his weakness.

She wondered who was the other shadow lurking and what it wanted from her. She then continued to challenge evil Jason to trick the other shadow to reveal itself. Ivy wanted to charge at evil Jason several times only to have him blink away each time. Strangely, she could feel her urge to kill subside as each time she pushed out her urge to kill, a little of her memory and feelings return.

She fell to the ground in further confusion as she pondered into the dark abyss on the Phoenix human form which looked identical to evil Jason in her memory.

"Who is this? Is he related to my past? Why am I feeling as though there is another being in here other than that evil Jason? What is this lust to kill that is endless?" Ivy questioned as she was getting enraged after figuring out she was being controlled.

She vowed to seek revenge this time as she abruptly continue chasing evil Jason who was caught by surprise.

Before she could catch Jason, she drew the second sword from the chamber in front of her which was labeled as "revenge" on its seal. She noticed the first sword she drew when she was motionlessly killing swarms of humans earlier was labeled as the sword of confusion. She saw there were another five more swords ahead of her.

It made sense to her now that she was no longer confused as she could tell the shadow in front of her was not evil Jason but the other lurking shadow whom she had tricked to reveal himself.

Avinha.

Instead, she felt a strong vengeance in her longing to seek revenge.

Evil Jason was surprised to see his brother in the realm with them as he quickly blinked away and hid. With the lust to kill him growing in Ivy, she charged at Avinha only to fall off the endless spiral stairs while catching herself looking at that familiar face of the woman whom she had always seen pushing her off the stairs.

Strangely this time, Ivy was no longer afraid but rather she was curious to find out who that woman was the next time.

She squealed awake as she sat gripping tightly to her palm till they bleed. She could feel the pain was adrenaline stopping her from breaking down as she winced. She slowly realise she was getting hold of ways to control her sleep paralysis and was able to move and breathe.
