Iris

Chapter 5

Adam. My little brother. I remember him. I remember everything about him. I remember him playing with me. I remember his smile when I said he was my best friend. I also remember his face when I left him.

Adam is five years younger then me. He has blue eyes like I did, and dark hair. He would always make me laugh in some way.

Last year, when I was leaving to go to the hospital, I saw him cry for the first time in years. He begged my parents not to leave, but they never cared about me or my brother. I never really saw him that much. My parents barley visited me, so I rarely, if ever, saw Adam.

I heard Eva's sinister voice as she spoke to me. "Oh so you know him? Well, then why don't you guys play a little game of tag!" She quickly opened the box and I saw Adam crawl towards me. Actually, I can't even call him my brother. This thing is a monster.

I started to run around the tiny room. The room was so tight I could barley dodge him. It started crawling faster.

"What's wrong Iris?" Eva said with a smile. "Don't you love him?" I started to think. I don't love it. It's not Adam. Adam was sweet and nice and I loved him. This was all Eva's doing. She just wanted to mess with me. She does this stuff all the time.

As I dodged the beast I noticed something. It was harder to get away each time. The room was shrinking. I tried to move but it would work. I tumbled to the ground. The monster got up on top of me. I could feel its warm breath on my face. It whispered a question to me.

"Why do you hate me, sister?"
