I heard a gunshot upstairs, my heart raced against my chest and this time I didn't know if it was adrenaline or because although I knew he wouldn't die the thought of him hurting would make me feel something other than annoyance. I hated to admit, but over the course of the years of knowing Michael I had somewhat developed sentiment other than what was considered psychotic. Another gunshot ricocheted throughout the walls and I willed my legs to go move faster. Anger flowed throughout my veins, my lips trembled in fury when I reached the top stairs. There stood Loomis along with a teen who I assumed to be was Angel- Michael's little sister. "Ivy?!" Loomis proclaimed in shock as I stood before them. "What happened to your..." I ignored the elderly man's comment on my facial scars- my focus solely on Michael who stumbled back and regained his balance. I took a step in front of Michael, instantly feeling the searing rage radiating from him but I was too furious to care. I quickly unsheathed my hunting knife and shoved into his grasp. "Ivy, I thought you were better than this. He's pure evil! He doesn't care about you!" Michael's breathing became ragged in fury. While I simply smirked at Loomis, his tactic didn't work. Slowly a sinister smile crawled into my lips. Loomis aimed the gun at me, and Michael pulled me back from Loomis but I fought's against his grip and broke free. "I ought to feel insulted. Do you not know who I am? After everything, I've done? Maybe you need a recap on who I am. For starters, death is a woman... And my name...is Ivy Hades." ****** BASED ON HALLOWEEN 1978 [SORTA AU] #8 Michael Myers - July 18,2019 #7 Halloween1978 - October 20,2019
