As Aaron's eyes fluttered open questions instantly raced through his little mind. Where was he? What happened? Where was his Mother? His questions were cut short as his eyes set sight on Ivy who was standing at the foot of the bed, and was wearing a nurse's outfit. Aaron frantically looked around for his Mother forgetting about Ivy, he tried getting up to only realize there were IV's attached to his little arms. "Calm down love. Let me get you comfortable before I get your family and friends." Cooed Ivy quickly gaining his trust. She propped the pillows for him and pulled the blankets back up while playing with his hair. "Better?" She asked him with a gentle tone as he nodded in return. "Your people will be so excited to know that you finally have woken up." She continued walking away and then closed the door. Aaron sat up as he heard a click...She locked the door but why? Ivy then strolled back over to his bedside and within seconds used magic to freeze him. She gazed into his eyes and saw the fear he had for her. It tickled her to know how effective she was; putting Aaron into the position he was in before he woke up, she peered down at him and began to wave her arms above him while chanting. As she did the lights flickered and a breeze swirled around the two, Ivy began to chant louder and louder with a crazed look before pausing with her arms high in the air, everything then was still. She grinned exceedingly pleased more then ever! She leaned down smoothing back some of Aaron's hair before kissing his forehead, within moments a mark of sorts bubbled to the surface of the boy's flesh. It was a black symbol mirroring what appeared to be a skull before dissipating. "Let's see how your Mommy handles her son's inner darkness." Was all she said. Just before she disappeared the door then unlocked by itself and opened. White silence lingered in the air as Aaron's eyes snapped open...And they were solid black...Black as night.

~Now~
  
Ivy teleported back to the cave where she was containing Midnight's family, extremely pleased with herself she leaned back against the wall of the cave. "What did you do?" Growled Marina who was merely two seconds away; from strangling the woman who stood before her. "I just made your Grandson become my puppet. That's all." She stated ever so calmly. Marina's right eye began to twitch. "Why you-" She started as Ivy cut her off. "Oh if this makes you mad now, wait till your other Grandchild is born." She hissed while kneeling in front of Marina. The two then met each other eye to eye, as the tension grew. "Is that a threat?" Replied Marina angrily. Ivy tilted her head back and cackled, before grabbing Marina by her chin. "That's not a threat honey, that's a promise." Marina had run out of remarks at that point, she fell silent as she hung her head. It seemed hopeless for everyone, as she fought back tears Ivy grinned. "Now don't be like that cheer up. I brought you all someone else to keep you company!" In seconds Ivy disappeared then reappeared with Silver. Who was roped for the moment, before Ivy shoved her into the wall beside Marina. Then chained her as well. "Well I have some more tasks to do, I'll be back later." She sang before teleporting away. Silence was the only option it felt like until Marina looked over at Silver. Who was busy staring Dusk down, it was easy to piece together that her blood was boiling. "She's supposed to be dead! Even if she did save Mid she's still better off dead." Marina shot a look at her before replying. "Well I know my daughter did wrong but in the end, she stood up for my other daughter. Don't speak ill of my children." Silver was in complete shock. "Are you Mid's mother? I thought she said you were dead." Marina sighed and looked away. "Yes, until Ivy brought us back." "Us?" Asserted Silver tilting her head, which was returned with a nod of Marina's head. "Yes, us. Ivy brought my husband, Dusk, Gracen, Anne, and I back. We're part of her boss's plan to get to Mid. How we play into it we're not sure yet. Ivy also hunted down my other three sons; and has them here too." She explained gesturing to where Justin, Josh, and Gerard were. "Not only is my daughter a hybrid, but so is Josh. The only difference is he let Mid turn him into one. He's not a natural born like she is." Silver's mouth hung open a bit. "Mid said she was turned into a hybrid by squids-" Marina then cut her off. "No dear that's what she's thought. You see we all knew something about her;  from the time she was born, when she was young she didn't display the powers of dark magic she displayed something far more powerful. I have a diary hidden in the castle that had; every strange event caused by her in it." Silver sat in silence listening to her. "I'll never forget when she and her brothers got into a fight. I knew for sure she was very different from the rest of us; because while they fought I could have sworn her eyes they just- They were glowing for a moment. After my eldest daughter went nuts she used that secret to get rid of Mid. All the hybrids carry Mid's DNA. Not Herobrine's. The squids just brought out that as I like to word it 'other side' of her's with another substance of sorts. She's been a natural born Brine hybrid this whole time." Silver didn't know what to do after hearing that from Mid's mother. All she could do was try and take it all in. The only thing that came to mind was one question. "Will Mid ever know the truth?"

It had been a few months since Aaron's recovery, and he seemed to have became his normal self again- Well almost. "Aaron get back here!" Screeched the castle maid; who was chasing the boy, as he then started creating puddles underneath the castle maid. Causing the poor old gal to slip and fall over and over. Wolf who had been watching from a distance had noticed his sudden change in behavior over the past few months, as Aaron cast a glance over his shoulder at her; he grinned revealing what looked like sharp teeth. And his eyes were black as night, Wolf was horrified as quickly as it was there it was gone. Giggling Aaron dashed around the corner and was gone. "Hey Wolf." Came a voice from down the hall, it was none other then Abigail who was walking alongside with Mid. Wolf walked over to join them. While Abigail who had also noticed a change in Aaron lately mouthed, words back and forth with Wolf; the whole way to wherever Mid was taking them. They couldn't let Mid know about what they had seen with Aaron; she was under way to much stress as it is about Ivy, Ivy's boss, and now that someone finally and miraculously discovered Silver was missing. "Where do you wish to go today Mid?" Asked Wolf with a smile, Mid returned a smirk and motioned down the hall before pointing at a door. As instructed both Wolf and Abigail helped her until they stopped at the door. Mid slowly turned the door knob and swung the door open. Both girls gaped at what they saw. A beautifully decorated nursery lined with toys, books, and more toys. They stopped when the laid eyes on the crib...That is when they saw that it was pink. Wolf and Abigail both turned around and stared at Mid. "Before you ask yes. It's a girl." That only resulted in girly screams, and then a mortified Wolf who slapped her hand over her mouth. "Oh my god I sound like a girl!" Abigail on the other hand was laughing with joy and bear hugged Mid. "Seems just like yesterday we were braiding each other's hair, and-" Mid only raised an eyebrow giving her the seriously look. Abigail huffed before starting again. "Okay fine...It seems just like yesterday I was your partner in crime, while you terrorized everyone in the house and killed villagers ruthlessly. Better?" "Much better." Replied Mid smirking before patting Abigail on the head. Abigail then only rolled her eyes at Mid. As they all celebrated for the time being. Little did they know what Ivy and her boss; would have in store for them.
