Ivy Monologue

Two Sisters by me

There once lived two sisters. The older one was named Hazel, and the younger was Ivy. Their parents had always loved Ivy more, so from the beginning, Hazel had hated her sister.

“Seriously, Hazel. I’m not joking. This needs to stop,” begged Ivy. Then she added softly, “What have I ever done to you?” Hazel looked her in the eye once more, and then Ivy backed away. “I love you, sister. That much has always been true,” Ivy said, when Hazel had not answered her
