Snippet #2404683

She decided to just go hide in some shadowy corner of the library until she had to report to Sidekick 101. But as Ivy dissolved into the shadows and searched for the library, something in the courtyard caught her eye. The infamous Whitney Adams was strutting towards a certain glasses wearing boy sitting under a tree and trying to go unnoticed but failing miserably. Ivy sighed deeply as something in the back of her mind told her that she had to do the right thing and save the poor hero from the she-demon with her sights set on him.

Ivy reached out to the shady area where Marcus Steel sat and materialized by his side silently. She tapped on his shoulder, causing him to jump slightly before looking at her.

"Come with me if you want to live." she says with a dead serious face. The boy's eyes widen slightly and she can't help but let her serious mask drop as she smiled slightly at his fear. The boy seemed to realize she was kidding about the whole dying thing and quickly stood up from his place on the ground. Ivy's small smile widened slightly as she grabbed his hand, causing them both to dissolve into the tree's shadow. Just before they completely disappeared, she caught a glimpse of Whitney's furious and bewildered face, causing a triumphant smirk to replace her smile.

When they rematerialized in the shadow of a large bookcase in the library, Ivy immediately dropped Marcus's hand and took a few steps away from him. Looking up at him, she stuck out her hand with her small smile on her lips.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Ivy Abbott."
