Suddenly the footsteps that approached them were gone just as quick as they appeared. This caused Melian to immediately set her guard up again. She lift her head up & stared at the scenery in front of her. She froze as she saw what was in front of her.''Wouldn't you say so, my dear Iris?'' Diablo spoke.

She was almost frozen in place. The others slowly getting up, being just as shocked as Melian was. ''I-Iris?'' Liandria spoke. Melian looked directly into Iris's eyes, who was standing there unwounded. ''W-what's the meaning of this?!'' She asked. Her voice grew louder & shaky. She was the type of person who would never lose their cool, but during this situation, she started breaking down.

Iris stood in front of them with her eyes closed, not saying a word. Diablo suddenly started walking again, walking next to Iris and patting her shoulder. Suddenly, she slowly opened her eyes, looking at her friends in front of her. ''Iris, my dear.'' Diablo spoke, devilishly laughing. ''Would you explain the situation here please?''

Her eyes scanned around the friends, slowly taking in their expressions. ''Looks like Iris here suddenly has a hard time talking huh?'' Isiah spoke. Melian glanced over to him, seeing his furious expression. She had never seen him like this. ''My, my.'' Diablo spoke again. ''Maybe if you would have taken my offer as well, you would be standing next to us.'' Diablo spoke.

Isiah froze in place. The other turned more agitated with the situation, waiting for at least one of them to answer any questions. ''What's the meaning in all of this?'' Liandria spoke again. ''At least one of you speak, damn it!'' She screamed. Melian watched her, seeing tears well up in her eyes, thanks to the situation they were all in. ''Secret spy.'' Iris suddenly spoke. Liandrua looked at her in disbelief as Melian slowly stood up to her feet as well. ''S-secret spy?'' Liandria asked. ''What do you mean secret spy?'' She asked again.

Iris sighed deeply, looking down onto the ground before she looked up at her friends in front of her. ''Diablo here asked me to be the secret spy here.'' She spoke. The others stood their ground, looking at Iris as if they were going crazy. ''A secret spy?'' Melian spoke. She was back on her feet again, looking at Iris. ''A secret spy for what?' She asked, Fayre now letting go of her and stood behind Melian.

''To watch the residents around here.'' She spoke. Melian was shocked at her answer, but now she was even more shocked as she saw that the corner of Iris's mouth slowly turned up. She was smiling. She approached the others as Melian stood her ground. ''You see, you guys,'' She started. ''There's not only one spy around here, I'm not the only one.'' She continued. ''There are multiple secret spies around the camp, hiding as residents.''

''And Isiah over here, he could have been in Iris's shoes.'' He spoke as he let out a dark laugh. All of their heads turned towards Isiah now, who had the furious look in his eyes back again as he slowly approached them. ''While that is true,'' He spoke. ''You told me you didn't accept his offer.'' ''Were you thinking I were to tell you if I did?'' She chuckled. ''Y-you...'' Liandria suddenly spoke. ''You liar!'' She screamed & ran towards Iris, in which Kimera quickly stopped her. She shot out vines from her body, which quickly reached around to Liandria, wrapping around her body &

quickly pulling her towards Kimera. ''Li, please...'' She spoke in a shaky voice. Her vines slowly let go of Liandria & she stepped aside, taking in Iris's expression.
