II. The Bond Between Members

Ivory awakened and checked her cell phone, seeing it was 3:00 am. She set down her phone and thought about Viper's disturbing murder. Ivory wasn't sure she should feel guilty or hold shame, but one thing Ivory knew was that Viper wasn't the person she believed Viper to be. The young woman would twist and turn under the covers, but Ivory couldn't fall asleep.

Ivory then smelled something burning. Ivory slowly sat up, noting the smell was coming from her room. Ivory looked around, dashed over to her nightstand, and turned on the light. Ivory saw no one; she was the only one in her bedroom. Ivory knew that Viper was around.

"Viper, I don't want you here," Ivory whispered, hoping no one could hear her. Ever since she overheard Blue and Harley talking about Ivory and her mediumship, Ivory didn't feel like someone was spying on her.
