The eternal flame

CHAPTER 1

"Addy take Iris to her soccer game then go to the mall to pick up more outfits for her than take her to the grocery store to get her 0 calorie ultra heathy snacks. Oh and be back before dinner." Said Grace Addy's mom.

"But mom you never pay me back and Iris is always so picky. Why can't you take her and I'll make dinner." Said 17 year old Addy Lavinchi.

"Because you don't know how to cook and you and Iris need some bonding time. Also I do pay you. So go get Iris and get going. Remember be back before dinner."

I went upstairs knocked on Iris's door. Which had jewels and princess on it and one big poster in the middle that said KEEP OUT OR ELSE! She came out with what she called fashionista cloths on. I said "mom says I have to take you all over town to get you some things."

"Ok I just need to put on my lipstick. Done lets go." Said Iris acting like this was a normal thing that she did every day. We walked downstairs to the livening room. "Oh I forgot my bag. I"ll be right back." I said wanting to get away form miss drama queen.

I ran upstairs, grabbed my bag and went downstairs to take Iris. We hoped into my hunk of junk car that looked like it had been hit at every angle 20 times. When we got to the soccer field Iris rushed to her team. I didn't tell Iris how much money I had for a reason. I went over to the snack bar and got a snow cone and a granola bar for Iris. Then went over to the bleachers and sat in the front row. Now most people would say that I love my sister very much but I don't. Never have never will. I hate my family. My sister is a self absorbed brat and my mom never pays any attention to me. Oh and she's a terrible cook. When the game was over Iris came over. "You know I can't have that snow cone. One it's cherry flavor I hate cherry flavor. Two it's an unhealthy. And three it got spit on it." Said Iris not even sweating because all she did on the soccer field was doge the ball and say "it's gross don't let it touch me" "it's for me not for you. This is for you."

I handed the granola bar to her. "I can't eat this. It's got ten calories in it."

"Fine I'll eat it then."

I took the granola bar from her hand and took a big bite out of it. We left the field and got in the car. In the mall Iris took forever trying to find cloths and just when she was about to pick something up she saw one of her friends and ran off with her. So I put all the cloths back and headed for the food court and had lunch I Waited for Iris at the front of the mall and then went home because mom always has dinner done at the same time everyday. "Hey we didn't go to the grocery store." Said Iris slumping down in the back seat."

"Ya like you need to go to any more stores. Besides mom said be back before dinner. It's almost dinner time." I said enjoying the fact that Iris was mad.

"We'll I'm telling mom! Then you'll have to take me tomorrow to. So ha." She said sticking out her tongue.

When we got to the house Iris was try all kinds of different ways to annoy me. I went up the front steps into the house and sat down on the couch. Then I went upstairs because I heard Iris tattling on me in the kitchen. By the time I sat down in my old rag bed mom called me down stairs she used my full name so I knew I was in trouble so I got up and walked down stairs. When I got into the kitchen Iris was standing there tears in her eyes from fake crying to convince mom that I was the bad guy. She was smiling evilly at me as I passed by. So I went in got a plate took some over cooked food and went and sat down at the table. A few minutes after that Mom followed by Iris came walking in they sat down and started to pray. I was never in to praying or going to church but mom and Iris were they go every Sunday and pray every night. But to me it's just boring. When they were done they looked at me as if I were the devil. "So I hear that you did not do as I asked. Yes you took Iris to her soccer game and yes you took her to the mall. But you did not buy her any cloths or take her to the grocery store. So you will take her there tomorrow. Deal." Said Grace my mom.

"One she ran off with one of her annoying friends. Two you said be back by dinner so I will not take Iris tomorrow. If you want her to have that stuff soooo badly you can take her because I'm done being her little maid so in a way I QUIT!

I got up from the table and went to my room and went to bed happy for the first time in years I was happy for more than 5 minutes.

When I woke up I heard screaming right next to me. It was Iris and she must have been screaming at the top of her lungs because she was out of breath in like 2 seconds. I got up and kicked Iris out of my room. Got dressed grabbed my old ratty bag and went down stairs got a piece of burnt toast and went right out the front door. The only problem was that Iris was following me and it was not pleasant. I was walking down Gillagons road when I saw something flash. I looked up and there was a sign there it said COME ON IN I KNOW YOU WANT TO FLAME IT WILL BE FUN! It seemed as if the sign was asking me to come into the shop. So I decided to go in and ask about the sign.

I walked in and saw a man standing there he looked tall with gray hair and he looked as if he was in his 50's. I walked up to him an rang the bell.
