Ivy's plan

Ivy knows. She has recently become friends with Dawn Turner and after reading Dawn's latest blog update and how she was suspicious, Ivy decided to read Serenity's mind. She told Dawn that she knew the truth and  the first chance she got, along with Angel and Dawn's boyfriend Lerk, they discussed what to do and how to handle the situation. 

Pretending that nothing has changed, Ivy was on the couch watching a movie with Mason while talking in a whisper inaudible to human ears. 

Ivy - Well like I said to your mother before, 

I would do anything else I want to in order find out who this woman is.

Mason - And how do you plan to do that?

Ivy - I have an ability that not all of our kind do. When I bite someone it puts them into a highly suggestible trance like state, similar to if I were compelling them. Except its even stronger and compelling requires my concentration, where as this does not. It doesn't last long though, which is why while she is in this state, I will order her to take this drug I took from the hospital.

"Addy" - Ahh! IVY! What are you doing? 

By the end of the question, her voice lulled and Serenity stared at Ivy emptily.

Ivy - There, now take this.

After she takes the "truth pill," Ivy sits Serenity down.

Ivy - Now, tell me your name.

Serenity - Serenity Maria Shepard.

Next, remembering Angel's theory she asked this.

Ivy - Who were you parents?

Serenity - Alexis Windfield and Adam McKnight the First.

Ivy - So then you are my mother's twin sister?

Serenity - Yes.

Ivy - Tell me why you're doing this.

Serenity - I'm working for a woman named Morgan, she requested it. I didn't want this, I was perfectly happy with the life I have.

Ivy - Why do what this woman wants? 

Serenity - She says I owe her, that it's thanks to her I have the life that I'm so happy with. I knew the hard time my sister had as a child, friendless, written off as nothing, but a rich snob the second people heard the name Woodrow. And she was fatherless, but instead I was raised by a couple that loved me. Laura and Alexander Shepard were great parents to me and while they weren't rich as a nurse and a doctor they did make good enough money and I had good friends. Morgan says I have that life because of her, but Addy said what about the life I would have had if not for her. Yes, she grew up friendless, but she wouldn't have if she had had her twin sister, right?

Ivy - You don't want to do this anymore, do you?

Serenity - No. Doing this has giving me a taste of that life I would have had, has let me spend time with my mother, my brother, and my nieces and nephews; they are my family.

Ivy - If you don't want to do this anymore, then don't. Help, help mom, help us, Aunt Serenity.

Serenity - Awe, Ivy. I want to really, but...

Ivy - But?

Serenity - You don't know Morgan. I'm one of few people she actually likes and she would still most likely kill me if she knew I was even thinking of turning against her.

Ivy - You're afraid of her. I could make you afraid of me if I need to. We'll plan it out so that she wouldn't know you're involved until it's too late, and make sure nothing happens to you.

That night after Ivy filled Alissa in on the situation the two of them combined their power to try to sense Addy's location.

Birthdays

This will be a quick one.

It was time for the kid's birthday.

Violet went first.

Ness was next.

Then Amber.

Eli, some how he gained what is called "The Mouth," an unfortunate physical trait that I thought I had eliminated from the Woodrow genetics.

Lastly Alissa.

Ivy wanting to move on posted a picture on a match making sight exclusively for children of the 100 baby challenge called MatchMaker: Challenge Kids and almost instantly got a reply from one Mason Turner. Mason is a Dawn Turner's sixteenth child, a born vampire like Ivy. The two have been talking online since and are now meeting for the first time in person. Mason lives in the town of Twinbrook and Ivy as you know lives in Sunset Valley. 

They both agreed to wait for when/if things became serious between them, before talking about one of them moving.

After talking for short time, she kissed him.

More of The Past

He had gone to the beach that day to be alone with his thoughts and she had done the same. He had meant what he told Lidia, he did love her, or at least thought he did and he had never had any interest in redheads. She had never had any interest in anyone. All of that changed the moment they saw each other.  

Although the attraction was there from the beginning, they never flirted, just talked.  

They talked for hours. They talked about how they were both born in Sunset Valley, came from wealthy families, and how both grew up without their fathers, although hers having died shortly before her birth, and his passed on shortly after.

They talked about their interests. She found herself at a loss trying to describe her favorite color. 

Addy - It's sort of a pale purple, somewhere between lavender and lilac, but not quite.

She finally, somewhat embarrassingly admitted that her favorite color just happened to be, even before meeting him, but especially after, the exact shade of his eyes.

It got dark and they both sat down on the soft sand. 

He couldn't help but stare at her as she look at the view in wonder.

When they finally parted ways he knew.

Addy headed home and he headed to Lidia's.

Lidia - Hey Baby. What are you doing here so late?

Anthony - I needed to talk to you and it can't really wait. 

Lidia - You said..., I thought you loved me.

Anthony - So did I.

Anthony introduced Addy to his friends and to Lidia. The girl with the purple hair, believe it or not, is our dear  girl Sharla, next to her is Jake and on the other side of him is the famous Clara.

A few days later, Lidia tried to confront Addy calling her a man thief, no matter what he said, she believed Anthony never would have left her if she hadn't come along.

Addy - Listen spray tan, It doesn't matter what you think, I didn't steal him. And even if I did, doesn't change the fact that he's mine now.

Lidia - Spray tan?

Addy - YOU'RE ORANGE!!

Lidia - Hmmph.

The Past

Sunset Valley

years ago

Lidia I wish you didn't have to go. Why is your mother moving your family to Bridgeport anyways? Is it because of those rumors?

Anthony I don't know Lidi, I wish I didn't have to go either. Here I got you this, so you don't forget me.

Lidia I could never.

Lidia It's like yours.

Anthony Yeah. Here, let me help you put it on.

Lidia How does it look?

Anthony Beautiful.

Lidia So, what are you going to do when you get to Bridgeport?

Anthony Once we're settled in, I'll probably go visit Sharla in the hospital. She's in Bridgeport because the hospital there is better equipped for her illness.

Lidia Oh.

Anthony Lidi, Shar is my friend. Nothing less, nothing more.

Lidia Not anymore.

Anthony It's our last night together, can we not spend it talking about this?

Anthony Not that, I'm not happy to see you but are you going to tell me what you're doing in Bridgeport now?

Lidia Well, my big sister decided to move here to become an actress. I managed to talk her into convincing our parents to let me come with her.

Anthony There you are.

Lidia Yep, here I am! Haha!

Lidia What do you mean?

Anthony Oh come on Lidia, I think I know by now when something bugging you, so what is it?

Lidia Can we sit down?

Anthony Now talk to me. Is this about that girl at the party?

Lidia She kept looking at us.

Anthony She was doing the karaoke. She was looking at everyone.

Lidia But she kept looking at us, at you.

Anthony Oh come on, you should know by now I wouldn't go for a redhead.

Anthony Now listen to me. Even if this girl was interested, I'm with you.Il mio unico e solo, I love you Lidia and thats not going to change.
