She had done it. She had really done it.  She had eliminated her first rival.  No one could stop Autumn from being her now!  Autumn would be hers!  No one was in her way anymore. 

Darkness pierced right through Ivy's thoughts.  What if she got caught?  Then she would be separated from her precious Autumn. She couldn't allow that, now could she. She'd have to be very, very careful. She'd have to make sure there were no witnesses, and that the evidence was properly disposed of. Being sloppy would benefit no one, and have some unfortunate consequences. The police would never accept her reasoning, no matter how good it was. Some people just didn't understand how precious love is, how it must be protected, at ALL COSTS. Someone who let their love go didn't deserve it in the first place. You had to protect what's yours, never, ever let it go, or come to harm. That's just the truth.

The door creaked open, and Ivy smiled as Autumn entered the room, overnight bag in hand. Her love had finally returned, and they were reunited once more. Even though it had been convenient, Ivy had missed her so. She couldn't bare to be separated from her most precious. She was all Autumn needed, after all. Autumn was hers, after all. Autumn wouldn't mind, not at all. Of course, Ivy wouldn't do it right away. She'd do it after some time, ease her precious into the idea. Unless, of course, such actions became completely unavoidable. Then she'd have to.

Ivy smiled. "Autumn! You're back~!" Autumn smiled back, in her pure, perfect way. She really was beautiful, with her short, wavy chestnut hair, and her buttery eyes just glowing with happiness.  She was perfection in a world of mindless drones, a queen among peasants. 

Even Ivy didn't matter nearly as much as her.
