章 47: Revealing the truth.

"Ivory, what have you done to yourself?" Ben asks her repeatedly, shaking an emotionless Ivory by the shoulders. She begins to whimper louder at Ben's angry tone. His chest rises heavily up and down so I walk towards him, pushing him back.

"Give her space," I tell him firmly, creating distance between Ivory and Ben. The repugnant smell increases the closer I get to Ivory and I gag, turning my face away from her.

"Look at her!" Ben yells at me. He's angry and confused, his eyes burning shades darker.

"Calm the hell down!" I yell, shoving him backwards by his chest. He barely moves and closes his eyes, letting out a frustrated yell. Behind me, I can hear scared whimpers coming from Ivory. It's the only sound she's made the entire time.
