Something more than reality : The Fire Iris

Land of Iris

Zoe's POV

I opened my eyes slowly. I was in the middle of a dark room. I tried to move but I couldn't. I was chained to a chair. ,, What happened?And where am I?" I thought my head'll explode. Uhh I hate headaches. I looked around for something to break the chains but I didn't saw nothing. ,, Huh, it looks like I need to wait."

Mia's POV

I woked up quite early today. The sun wasn't even  comming up yet. I sat up slowly and carefully stood up. My back was still hurting but not that much. Luckily it stopped bleeding yesterday. I don't quite remember yesterday cause I slept a lot. I looked around for clothes that Zara left me. I finally found them on the other side of my bed. I quietly walked aroud the bed and got dressed. I don't want Zara to worry about me. ,, I know, I leave a letter." I whispered .

Mia's letter

Done. Now lets go for a little adventure. I need to find Zoe and my backpack. My book and Zoe's diary is in it. I can't lose those things they're too important. As I climber out of the windov ( cause I don't know where the keys from the front door are) I looked around. This place is amazing. The whole place is built into the forest. Tree houses and suspension bridges are everywhere. The houses are built around trees and the river crosses straight trough the town. In one word amazing. But where's the cave. After a while of looking I finally saw the cave and the glade . After a while of walking I finally reached the glade . I didn't saw my backpack while I was in the cave so I walked along the riverside. Soon I walked under a bridge and saw my backpack. Oh god finally. I opened it quickly but my book and the diary were missing. ,, Holy shit now who the hell took 'em?" I was a bit stressed cause if I won't find them then I literally fucked up. Someone's  footsteps snapped me out of my thoughts. ,, Hehe, look that girl is looking in our backpack!" A kids voice said. ,,YOUR backpack? I'm sorry but the backpack is mine, I've lost it three days ago." I tried to stay calm. ,, But we found it first! And how did you get that backpack?  You can't find things like that here! " Oh yes I now look like someone who lives around here. ,, I know , I'm not from this world I came trough the portal and the things that were in the backpack are very important to me . Can I have them back please?" I think I sound hilarious now. But soon two little girls stepped out of the bushes and came closer. ,, We.... gave them to our mom. We didn't know that they were yours." The lil girl seemed like she's guilty, but I still need to get my things and if their mom 've got 'em I need to find her.,, Ok no problem , then can you take me to your mom?" I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this. ,, Ok! Please follow us!" I just sighted and followed the girls. Both of them started to run after a while. I can't run yet so I just slowly followed behind. I think they're trying to make me lost, but I won't let myself get confused so easily.  In my childhood Zoe and me played hide and seek a lot of times and I won almost everytime. I looked around and saw a tunnel going through the cliff. ' I'll go through and defeat them in their own game.' I thought. After going trough I hid behind a bush. Both girls stopped and looked backwards. ,, I think we lost her ! Finally, I thought she'll get lost a bit earlier!" I almost burst out in laughter but held it back.  ,,Christiana lets check , you know just to be sure." I waited till they walked past. When they were about five meters away I quietly walked out right behind them grab them by shoulder and said : ,,Nice try girls." With a smooth and dark voice.

Zoe's POV

The sound of a door opening woke me up. ' It looks like I slept again' I thought. At least I haven't got a headache anymore. I looked up and saw a man. He wasn't familiar but I can't see his face clearly , it's still dark in the room. ,, Finally you're awake." His deep voice send shivers down my spine.,, W-Who're you!" I don't like this situation. He walked over to the wall on my right. Then he switched up the lights. Now I see where I am. I'm in a smaller room with no window and with a medium sized table and two chairs. The table is right in front of me and the other chair's behind it. The man slowly walked to it and sat down. Now I see his face clearly. And I need to tell He. Is. Hot. But still he doesn't seem familiar. ,, I'm Christian.  What's your name and how did you get through the portal? " Christian's smooth voice snapped me out of my thoughts. ,, Well... My name's Zoe and I honestly don't know how did I get to this place." I said with a bit shaky voice.
,, Then tell me what happened. " I just sighted when I remembered that Mia is outside alone is this world. ,, Well.... me and my friend were trying to escape from the orphanage because someone wanted to kill us. We ran into the forest and fell into a well. Then we almost drowned because of the river in it. Then I woked up in that cave alone. And I think you know the rest." I said grabbling. ,, Ok and what's your friend's name?" Christian asked me. ,, Her name is Mia. Do you know something 'bout her ?" ,,No I'm sorry but we'll try to find her." Wow this guy can handle the situation he 'almost' calmed me down. ,, But why'd you took me to this place? And where am I?"  I was curious.I haven't done nothing bad.,, Well, you're not on the Earth. You're in a place called The Land of Iris. You're here cause the portal in wich you came through was closed and we don't know how it opened.Got it?" I couldn't say anything. I was shocked and I think he saw that and said: ,, I think it was way too much information for you, now I'll show you your room. And don't even think of trying to escape from my base. Cause you'll may get killed." I just nodded. Then he untied my hands and I tried to stand up but I felt a sharp pain on my back. I sat back down immediately. I felt dizzy and then everything went black again.
