𝙷𝚎𝚛 eyes were a full emerald shade now, there were no whites to her eyes, and her pupils were little slits that looked so sharp at the tips they could kill someone. Her breath was ragged and heavy and where the knife was hung over the man you could see the blood stains on her palms.
She was going to kill him. No one could stop her now, this man would feel the pain her people had over the many years of torture, "Die Monster." she hissed, her pointed teeth bared. The knife went cascading down towards his ripped tank top.
"IRIS SULLY!" a scream echoed through the trees as the man cowered beneath her. She cut his chest making it bleed as the stab was stopped. Her eyes went back to normal almost instantly her pupils widened and her head jolted to her left.
The man lay there, stunned as the girl darted off into the trees. His injured soldiers carried him ,as they went into the helicopter, but him and his men weren't the only ones taken.
"Ma Iris!" Ney'tiri's voice shook as her daughter came through the trees trembling.
"I-I. Mama," she pulled away, "He had Kiri under his knife." her throat was hoarse as she stuttered to her Mother, "I had him. I could have put a stop to this." Her Mother pulled her back into a hug and calmed her.
"Let's go find the others." She led her daughter to the others. As soon as they got there Tuk and Lo'ak ran to Ney'tiri.
Iris ran straight to Neteyam embracing him warmly. He hugged her back.
"Ri! You're okay!" he sighed relieved, he thought she was dead. They had been gone for ages.
Iris cried in his arms, so no one could see. Even though her and Lo'ak were really close, her and Neteyam also had a strong bond too. He always cared for her as a child. She would hate for anything to happen to him, she really did adore him.
Kiri sat a distance away from the group, crying.
"Come here Princess." Jake said, pity in his tone.
Kiri burst out in a loud sob and embraced her Dad, "I thought I was gonna die!" she cryed.
Neteyam and Iris pulled out of their hug, Iris quickly dried her eyes. Her Dad also pulled her into a hug and Iris wrapped her arms around them both.
Then Lo'ak turned to them all, "Wait, where's spider?!" they all looked around (even Iris) to see the human boy wasn't there.
"They took him!" Kiri cried.

𝚃𝚑𝚎 siblings were all gathered around the family tent. Their parents were arguing.
"What's going on?" Lo'ak shoved his sister who was bent down, trying to listen to the conversation.
"If you didn't keep shoving me maybe I'd know!" she whispered agitated.
Kiri held Tuk keeping her close, even though Iris was trying to ease the tension by acting normal and joking around, they were all uptight.
"Can you two stop it!" Kiri hissed, she was stressed and upset. Her best friend had been taken and she was almost killed, so who could blame her?
Iris glared at both before turning away. A worried expression appeared on her face while no one was looking, they're parents barley ever argued seriously.
Neteyam walked over. He had been pacing around. He hated seeing his siblings so, distraught...so lost and upset. He placed a hand on Iris' shoulder and she placed her hand on his. All the siblings crouched around by Neteyam and Iris, to get a better idea of what was going on.
"He's hunting us!" Jake yelled. He was terrified. His children had been abused, been under this man's knife. And the worst part, they'd already killed him once, "They're targeting our family!"
Ney'tiri sighed angrily, refusing to look Jake in the eye until this moment, "You cannot ask this!" she half screamed, "The children! Everything they've ever known! The forest! This is our home!" she was mortified.
Jake was beginning to lose his patience with her, "He had our children!" his tone began demanding and even more aggressive, "He had them under his knife!" he was trying to reason with her, but even when they first met he knew that was difficult.
She picked up her bow, tears brimming her eyes, "My Father gave me this bow, as he lay dying!" she raised it up to Jake, the tears falling, "And he said protect the people. You are Toruk Makto!"
Iris' grip on Neteyam's hand tightened. She didn't like where this was going, and at the moment she feared the worst. She should have killed him, she regretted the fact she didn't stab the man causing him a painful death right there and then.
"This will protect the people!" Jake's brows furrowed as he drew closer to Ney'tiri, "Quadritch has spider, the kid knows everything! He knows our whole operation!" Jake clenched his fists.
Iris' face fell grim. Her Dad was right, she knew that Quadritch was able to convince Spider by pulling some strings and putting on a show.
"Look, I got nothing. I got no plan." he sighed angrily, frustrated not just with her but himself.
"But, I can protect this family, that I can do." he sighed his eyes falling to the floor.
Their Mother placed a hand on her head whilst crying. Jake looked up and placed a hand on her shoulder, "But I know one thing, wherever we go our family is our fortress."
She caved in, she really didn't want to but she had no other choice. She crumbled on the spot as Jake pulled her into a comforting hug.
