5. I’m Ivy. Not Amelia.

After a long period of blackout, Ivy slowly opened her eyes again. Now she was no longer by the riverside, she was lying on a soft bed in a lavish room, the walls adorned with intricate designs and gold accents. “What is this place?” she asked herself as she raised her body off the bed and tried to seat up. Still feeling disoriented and confused, she looked around the room and then noticed a woman sitting by her side, her face a mixture of anger and concern. A voice from within her called "Mother"

"Mother?" Ivy thought to herself. “What the fuck!”

“What the hell is wrong with you this little pretender?” Mrs Dave yelled.

“Who are you? Why did you bring me here? How did I get here?” Ivy couldn't help but think if she was now a magician. From the accident to the hospital to the riverside and now a lavish room. “No...No..No... What is all this?”

“What is your problem? Why are you shouting?” Mrs Dave said.

“Are you mad? Who the fuck are you?” Ivy said, increasing the tone of her voice.

“How dare you Amelia?” Mrs Dave shouted.

“I don't fucking know who this Amelia girl is, go and find your Amelia.” Ivy said and threw a pillow at her

“Behave yourself, else I would give you a slap.”

“Where is this place?” Ivy asked frowning and Mrs Dave blinked her eyes.

“Your home obviously!” Mrs Dave answered and before she asked any other question, Ivy immediately got up from her bed and began cursing.

“What the fuck?!” Ivy shouted and suddenly, she felt dizzy... But, she leaned against the table and got hold of it. She shook her head before she looked up at Mrs Dave who was calling herself her mother.

“Mind your language!” Mrs Dave said strictly.

“Ehhh?” Ivy asked but her head was spinning. This couldn't be real. How can a stranger call herself a mother and how can this lavish room be her home when she lives in an apartment which is very much smaller than this room?

“I will call the pack’s healer. He will look into you. Until then... Rest and don't run away again.” Mrs Dave ordered.“Are you fucking serious right now?” Ivy asked as Mrs Dave turned around to walk away from the room.

“Amelia, I’m your mother and for god’s sake, mind your language!” Mrs Dave yelled.

“Amelia? Who the hell is she?” Ivy asked frowning and Mrs Dave blinked her eyes at her.

“What?” Mrs Dave asked.

“Who the hell is Amelia? I am Ivy.” Ivy answered.

“What's wrong with you, Amelia? Why are you behaving like this all over again? Do you so want to ruin our reputation after whatever stunt you pulled last week?” Mrs Dave asked as she took two steps towards her.

“What? What happened last week and what reputation are you talking about? What stunt? And for fuck’s sake, I am not AMELIA! I am IVY!” Ivy yelled and Mrs Dave walked towards her angrily and stood in front of her and before Ivy could blink her eye, Mrs Dave raised her hand.

She was about to slap Ivy when Ivy recovered from her sense and catches Mrs Dave’s hand in mid-air.

“Who the fuck do you think you are to raise your hand on me?” Ivy asked with a dark voice starting deeply into Mrs. Dave’s eyes.

“Get me the fuck out of here!” Ivy said pushing Mrs Dave making her stumble back a few steps.

“AMELIA!” Suddenly a voice made Ivy look up at the owner of the voice and she saw a person standing there at the door.

“How dare you talk like that with your mother?” Mr Dave asked angrily and Ivy chuckled keeping her hands on her waist.

“Ahhh... God! Give me patience with these weird people!” Ivy said and Mrs Dave raised her eyebrows.

“What? Weird people? We are your parents!” Mrs Dave said and Ivy can clearly see the anger on her face.

“Parents? God! Are you serious? Never mind... Tell me, where am I?” Ivy asked.

“You are in your home!” Mr Dave answered.

“My home? My apartment even isn't as huge as this lavish room!” Ivy answered and Mr. And Mrs. Dave looked at each other.

“Amelia...” Mr. Dave called.

“My name is Ivy! How many times I should repeat it?” Ivy asked annoyed as she rubbed her forehead.

“Amelia, look... Take some time to calm yourself down. We understand that falling into the river last week might be frightened you... But when you were drowning, someone saved you. We were happy when they found you. We were so worried when you went missing...” Ivy suddenly cut off Mr Dave making him angry.

“Wait... A second. Drowning in a river? What the hell are you talking about? I clearly remembered that I was hit by some vehicle!” Ivy answered frowning and Mr. And Mrs. Dave exchanged looks with each other.

Ivy looked at them frowning and was about to walk away from there when Mrs. Dave grabbed her wrist making her stop in mid-way.

“Where are you going again?” Mrs Dave asked.

“Leave me!” Ivy yelled as she tried to release her hand from her grip.

“You are not going anywhere! Do you get it? You are not going to run away again!” Mrs. Dave yelled pushing Ivy on the bed.

Ivy looked at her and then at the flower vase on the bedside table. She immediately grabbed that and raised it towards Mrs Dave.

Mrs. Dave took a few steps back and Ivy threw it on the floor angrily.

“Don’t you understand what I am saying? I am not Amelia for god’s sake! My name is Ivy and I was hit by a passing vehicle and didn't drown in some river!” Ivy said as she grabbed another antique piece from the shelf and threw it on the floor making Mr and Mrs. Dave step back from her.

"Let me go before things get really ugly in here."

"We are sorry we can't." Mr Dave said as he and his wife ran towards the door and jam it before Ivy could get there. Ivy begins to bang the door profusely, "Get me out of here... what the fuck is wrong with you weird idiots. How dare you?"

The bang on the door became even louder and louder, "Arrrgh... Don't fucking mess with me, you would be making the worse mistake of your life you all. Just bet me." She began to throw the broken pieces of glass towards the door, while she was still cursing.

"Amelia stop it already" Mrs Dave yelled from behind the door.

"Fuck Amelia and fuck you too."

“What's wrong with this girl—” Before Mrs Dave could finish her sentence, she heard a loud scream.

“Ahhhhh,” Ivy screamed and Mrs. Dave immediately snapped her face at her and saw Amelia looking straight into the mirror which is on the opposite side of her.

While Mr And Mrs Dave were too confused about why she was in shock looking at herself in the mirror.
