Iris P.O.V

I sigh and lie down, six feet under the ground. I chuckled at that thought, I read it in Rebecca's book of poems. It is really interesting and I often find myself thinking about the verses; the're so relatable. I keep thinking about Annie and about how her behavior changes around Daren . She always becomes silent and does not pay head to anything that is happening around , keeps taking peaks at him and it kind of irritates me.
In this all Daren always smiles seeing her like she is his wife or something , but he really got to understand she is 'mine', m-i-n-e . I look around to see Daren and Eddie laying at my right and left .
I sigh and take a deep breath , looking up at the stars which could not be seen in the cities . I kept looking at them and admiring them , not beautiful and silent like Annie .  H

I looked at Annie , who seems to be getting trouble having Rebecca sleep . She took in a deep breath and started " come on , Rere just sleep , you just won't have me sing for you on one night only " She said in a pleading and convincing voice , but Rebecca seemed at it . She nodded and just made a face , folding her arms . I got a little irritated at this and started in a high voice " Rebecca , when she is saying no , then it means no , you...." Before I could complete Rebecca started crying and Annie picked her up and headed into the woods. I sighed and covered my head with a blanket . My head was going to burst , I thought and tried calming myself .I vent out all my anger on Rebecca .

 I felt Daren leave and I sat up , seeing him going into the woods. I lied down again , getting into my covers . They came out with Rebecca and  made her lie down in her covers and Annie started singing

" sitting in a dark room ,

Dusky as my heart room

swallowing me up ,

like smoke of broken love

I sighed and walked up,

to the door of old memories

 sitting in a dark room ,

                                      Dusky as my heart room

                                         swallowing me up ,

                                    like smoke of betrayed love

                                     I sighed and walked up,

                                     to the door of old memories ,

which had been locked up 

my heart was jammed up,

the chambers were chained up

by the key of broken love "

Her voice is really nice, I got to admit , for this is the first time I heard her sing . Daren was now singing

" my emotions stacked up

in the books of pain

 to build my walls .....

" stop this nuisance " I shouted at them , it turned out to be really irritating . Daren is the worst singer ever and what is this song anyway , never heard it .

                                              ..............................................................................................

I woke up and looked around to find nobody there . I stood up and went towards the woods , I heard voices . I came besides the river finding Daren helping Rebecca with drinking water . I walked up to them " Rebecca , just do it your self " I said and Daren smiled at me noticing me .

"Sleeping beauty woke up , eh " he said to me, I sighed and ignored him , starting to wash my face . Rebecca left when I came near the river and Daren went on with her . I guess ,I had been a little rude or perhaps a lot . I stood and started walking in a direction, I thought Annie would be.

There she is sitting with Rebecca and Daren seeing Rebecca throwing stones into the lake . I walked up to Annie and started " Annie , can you come with me , I need to talk to you." . she looked at me and was about to reply, that Rebecca spoke up . " What is with you , she is sitting with us so you can not talk to her ,you always spoils every moment . " She said all red and angry, I got a little irritated and grabbed her by neck " stay in your limits ,Rebecca " that's all I said and stood up . Rebecca ran behind Daren and took the hold of Annie's hand. I kept seeing between then and Annie just took Rebecca in her lap and started to pull her cheek and all that can be done to a child ............ for example, killed I thought . I left from there and came back to the ground , to find Eddie avoiding spiders , on seeing this all I could think was that he's really feminine. Alex was laughing at him . She grabbed a stick from the ground and put a spider web, plus spider in it . she took it to Eddie who just frowned and got the hold of Alex . He just took the stick and threw it down , Alex did not react as Eddie hugging her , might be a little surprise for her . Jack who was seeing all this took the same stick and stared beating Eddie with that .

...................................

The whole day passed by and I was wandering here and there on my own. I again went to the lake and this time without asking I just took Annie's hand and pulled it towards me . To tell her that I wanted to talk. She looked at me and then got up . Rebecca started fuming , but Annie held her hand up , asking for her to quiet down.

I pinned Annie to a tree and kept my arm besides her head . Annie looked at me in confusion and opened her mouth to say something , but nothing came out . She just mouthed me something which I suppose was ' what happened ?,you okay?' . I only replied that 'I was missing you' and she just blinked in reaction or perhaps it was normal reaction. I looked at her questioningly and she held up two fingers, excusing herself . She went into the woods .          

I don't know why she is behaving like that . I don't know why I kept thinking that she might be someone else . Since , the morning she hasn't spoke and isn't even giving me time . Okay , the last point is flop, but the guy need it .

...................................................................

I sighed and lied down ,

six feet under the ground ........................

The poem will be in my other book 'blossoms in night '.
