Sister Island

Chapter 3

Midnight1314 This is my part!!!!!! I've just hadn't gotten around to writing it sorry guys!!!!! This one doesn't have a point of view.

Iris, at the young age of eleven, was packing her bags so she could go to her dad's house for the summer. The best part was her older sister, Poinsettia, was going with her as well. They would be taking a ship to England from America. You see, the girls' parents got a divorced when Iris was only six years old. Poinsettia was eight years old. She remembers the fighting and arguing her parents used to do prior to the divorce. She was normally calm-headed and quiet, but for the last week she hasn't said a word to anyone unless it was to scream at them that she didn't want to go to her dad's house. It was starting to worry Iris, but she didn't show it to anyone. Her mother called, "Iris, honey, you're going to be late if you don't hurry!"

Iris said, "Hold on please! I'll be down in a moment!" She finished putting the last of her notebooks in her bag before she ran down the stairs. When Iris got downstairs she saw Poinsettia casually leaning against the wall with her bags at her feet. Iris looked at her sister in embarrassment. She asked, "How long have you been ready?" Poinsettia looked down at her adorable sister and sighed. She knew she couldn't stay mad at her little sister for very long especially when she asks such questions in such an adorable way.

Poinsettia said, "I've been packed since late last night." Iris stood next to her with her mouth agaped.

She questioned, "Really?" Her sister nodded her head. She continued questioning, "Why? Do you want to go visit daddy?" Their mother looked at her daughters in wonder. Her youngest daughter was very sciencey, while her eldest daughter was more about learning how to survive out in the wilderness. It's probably her father's fault because he took her out every other day to teach her how to hunt and that's what she grew up wanting to learn. She wanted to be a girl version of her father. Iris, on the other hand, never really knew her father and she didn't like going out to hunt because it got her dresses all dirty or so she claims. She turned out to be more like her mother. The girls are both very different children, yet they were closer than most sibling their age. Even their parents couldn't phantom on the children got that close because their siblings and them were never really close. Everyone knew that harming Iris was out of the question unless you wanted to deal with something worst than death...an angry Poinsettia. Anyways, back to the situation at hand.

Poinsettia exclaimed somewhat angrily, "No! I just don't like sleeping while I'm angry! It makes my body hurt and I have bad dreams. Not to mention I had nothing better to do at the time." The others nodded slightly letting Poinsettia know that she was being acknowledged. She asked impatiently, "Are we leaving or not?" They all hurried to the car with the exception of Poinsettia and drove to the docking port. The sisters quickly boarded the ship and their mother waved them off. The ship took off shortly afterwards. They immediately went to their bunk room when they couldn't see their mother anymore. Poinsettia laid on one of the beds that was in the room and closed her eyes.

Iris whined, "Come on Poinsettia! Let's go explore!" Poinsettia shook her head no.

She stated, "I'm tired, remember I didn't get any sleep last night. We'll explore later when it's dark outside and I'm no longer. For now, just come and cuddle with me." Iris giggled softly and went to cuddle with her older sister. They fell into a peaceful slumber shortly afterwards.

Iris woke up to see her sister watching her intently. Poinsettia asked, "Are you ready to explore?"

Iris asked, "Is it already the middle of the night?" Poinsettia nodded her head. Iris said excitedly, "Then of course I'm ready to explore!" With that they were on their way to the top deck. They made it just in time to see the ship crash against some rocks. The ship broke into several different pieces and the sisters got thrown overboard into the ocean away from the rocks.

Poinsettia said as she grabbed Iris and held her close, "Do not let me go for any reason!" Iris nodded her head. Poinsettia was try to make sure that Iris didn't get hurt by holding onto her, but as they fell into the water Iris slipped from Poinsettia's grasp. Iris swam to the surface, while Poinsettia floated to the surface.

Iris screamed, "Poinsettia!!!" She reached out her hand to try to get to Poinsettia, but her sister just drifted away from her. She was unconscious as soon as she had hit the water. Iris kept screaming her sister's name, while she was crying. She soon floated onto a shore where she passed out at. Her last conscious thought was 'What am I going to do without Poinsettia here?'
