My Guardian Angel

Chapter Ten: The Training Begins

Someone garbs my shoulders and holds me in place I squirm in their grasp. Someone has finally caught me in my game. It has been at least two hours where I would hide and run. Whoever caught me is just lucky. 

Thalia and the Evans kids went after me. Ellie even tried catching me once. I look around to find Damian holding on to my shoulders. I giggle and let my wings unfurl, catching him off guard and causing him to let go. He quickly grabs my shoulders again before I can take off.

"I got her!" Damian calls into the forest where everyone had been stationed. In about a minute everyone is standing in front of me. 

"Ivy, Ivy, Ivy, you naughty angel." Caine says shaking his head. I giggle like a little kid. Thalia walks over to my unfurled wings and holds on to one. It ruffles violently but Thalia refuses to let go. It feels weird having Thalia grabing my wing so I ruffle it harder. Caine grabs my other one and together they somehow push my wings to my body. Shawn takes a rope and ties it around my waist making me feel uncomfortable. 

"Get it off me." I say squirming in the rope. I try to push it off but it refuses to budge. I can't get it untied either. I end up growling at it causing everyone to laugh. Damian picks me up and runs back to the house. I wiggle trying to get out of his arms. My wings press up against the rope, threatening to rip it. But it holds... sadly. 

Once at the house, it's clear mom, Greg and Ellie are stiffling their laughter at my failed attempts of getting the rope off. The Evans kids and Thalia though are letting their laughter float to me. I've growled at the rope a few times now and it's getting late. Hazel and Shawn state they're heading off to bed, but they're holding back their laughter. 

I growl at the rope once again and Caine and Thalia laugh their heads off. Damian just clucks his tongue. 

"Ivy, it's a little late to tell you, but Greg made the rope unbreakable and the only person who can take it off is him." Caine says through his laughter. I widen my eyes and stare at laughing Caine for a second. I remember Thalia saying Greg could make objects stronger than what they really should be, of course he can take it off the object if he wanted too. I whip my head around to Greg and start to beg.

"PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE take it off!"

"Sorry Ivy not until you can hold your wings down on your own." Greg says ruffling my hair. I silently fume and stomp upstairs. I don't bother walking to my room, and I throw the door open to Damians room. I plop myself down on his bed and look up at the ceiling. The ropes knot digs into my back so I turn myself onto my side.

I don't know when Damian comes in but soon enough he is lying down accross from me. 

"Ivy, you are a very stubborn girl." He says with a sigh.

"I know." I say, closing my eyes.

"One of the reason I love you." Damian says wrapping his cold arm around my body, pulling me closer. After that I drift off to sleep.

"You got to miss two days of school and now its the weekend! That's so not fair!" Anna whines. 

"Oh Anna." I laugh. It's Saturday, today we are making our music video to Right Now by Rihanna. We were at the studio just about to record the song. Bryan quickly turns the cameras on and then joins us. We had decided some of our video would be our recording. 

We start to play and I sing. Bryan does some awesome backup. Everyone had made sure I wasn't playing my guitar this time. 

We did an amazing job and then we hit the road. We were going to Chris' mansion. When I say mansion I mean mansion. His house is gigantic! We were going to record all over his house for the video. At one point we were going to record outside. We all brought different clothes for the different scenes. We were excited.
