Something more than reality : The Fire Iris

Piece by piece

Mia's POV

Ethan is just so annoying. Even if he's actually quiet since we didn't said a word since we left. But still, I hate this akward silence. I sighted and looked above my head. The colorfull birdies were flying around and were chirping happily.'At least someone's happy' I thought.
,,Well... where are we heading now?" I asked. He looked at me like I was a dog playing on a piano or something and said :,, Now we're heading to the north east side of the country so soon we need to arrive to a town." I looked at him and nodded. After a while we needed to cross a river. Yeah. I hate water. Not like I can't swim. I just feel uncomfortable in water. I slowly stepped in. The water was FREEZING!! I slowly took another and another. Once when the water started to get deeper, I started to worry a bit. I don't want to get sick so I need to be quick.
The river was deepening in a little weird way. In somewhere near the middle there was a huge hole. I took a deep breath and jumped down. But when I looked back at Ethan he was soaking we even before he got actually 'into' the water. I started laughing hard and thought.' I must've splashed him when I jumped'. He looked so adora- no Mia don't start it again. He looked at me like he was going to kill me but I was too busy laughing. He then jumped beside me and splashed me too. I looked at him and almost drowned because of the laughter. He soon started laughing as well. We continued splashing each other. But soon he said ,,Let's stop acting like kids we have importanter things to do." With that he grabbed my arm and literally dragged me out of the water. At least I took a 'shower'. Yey? I looked at him and said.,,You're no fun Ethan." Then I something came up my mind. ,,SHIT THE BAG!"I almost screamed. I quickly grabbed my lil bag and got a bit surprised. It wasn't even wet. I looked inside and everything was dry as the Savanna. ,,A...waterproof bag?... Well this is still not the weirdest thing I've seen here."Ethan chuckled but then he got serious again.,,Come, thr night is coming soon. We need to find some food." I nodded and got up.

After about a hour of hunting I found some deers. I picked one and was about to shoot when I felt a hand grab my shoulder. I looked to my side and it was only Ethan. ,,Is it a problem if I join?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and nodded. I practised archery on the way here so I'm good now. I aimed at a deer somewhere nearby. Aaaaaaand.... Yes! Got him. Or her.I'm confused.I got closer and looked at my catch.'Ah yes it's a Mr. Deer. Good.Then sorry Mr. Deer I'm just damn hungry.' I cut some meat off of him and looked at Ethan who had some meat too.,,Hah, it looks like you caught something too." I said. ,,It's a from a boar... Let's set some fire. We're still wet." He said in a serious tone. Again. I just sighted and followed him.

The fire is done. We're cooking the meat and also drying.(They didn't took off their clothes. Just to inform)
Oh hoooly gooood. Breaking through those thick walls is a pretty hard thing to do. But I never thought it'll be easy. Something horrible must've happened to him. Should I ask him? No I'll only fuck up everything. Maybe later. But now let's eat. (I luv eating💜) I slowly took a bite. I'm still not used to this wild meat. I just... I like more chicken. But I won't starve to death so I must eat it. Even if I hate it. I looked up at the sky. 'Maybe I should ask him' I thought. After I got enough courage I asked : ,, What happened to you?" He looked at me confused. ,,What do you mean?" He then looked at the ground.'You know what I meant!' I thought. But I rather didn't said that and calmly answered: ,,I meant why are you... Ummm... so serious almost about everything? Something must've happened, I think no one is just... dead serious from nothing." I know that he laughed sometimes this day but he almost immediately got serious again. After asking I saw him get a bit angry. I quickly said:,,But I don't need an answer if y-you don't want to!" I shuttered fastly. Sometime.he can be a pretty scary guy. Like me. He just took a deep breath and said: ,,Do you really wanna hear?" His voice calm and smooth but I still recognized a small bit of anger in it. I quickly nodded. ,,Well it all started when the Dark Side was trying to took over this smaller region. When it all happened I was only 11 years old , my brother was 12 and my little sister was 9. Our family had a benefit that our father was a mafia leader and had his own base. For this we didn't saw him very often. I was ok with it. When he came home he only got drunk and beated us. For that I hated him.Once when they broke in my father tried to keep them away from us. He could protect us about five years. Then he... got killed, more likely betrayed. The mafia needed a new leader and because of some rules it needed to be one of us. Firstly they wanted me. But I denied. Being kept in a base for the rest of my life would've been a living hell for me. My sister was too young so my brother had to took the leaders position. He was actually happy about it. He was our fathers little 'favorite'." He stopped for a moment to check me. I was listening to him literally with so much interest that sometimes I forgot to even breath. He smiled and started talking again.,,After my brother left, me,my mom and my sister were left alone. No one was protecting us. The Dark Side found out that we were the leaders family so they tried to kill us. They set our house on fire. On that night I woked up to smell something's burning I opened my eyes and literally jumped out of my bed. Then all I remeber was me waking my sister her screams and running out of our room. We tried to find mom but when we arrived to her room it was already in huge flames. My sister was about to break the door when I threw her on my shoulder and climbed out of the windov. After that the whole house collapsed." He stopped again. I thought that I will scream'Continue please!' It was like reading a good book or watching an awesome movie but also sad. I don't even know what happened to my parents. Sometimes I think that I was just a problem to them. I kept starring at him then he started again:,,My sister and me decided to go to our uncle John. He lived just on the orther side of the forest.(About 5 kilometers away) We told them what happened and they took care about us till now. And they surely will be." I looked at him in shock and sadness. I stopped thinking and just pulled him into a tight hug. I suppose he wasn't hugged a quite long time cause he froze. But then he carefully hugged back. After about two minutes of hugging I let go of him and said :,,Sorry I just...I just couldn't help myself." I said smiling. 'I will destroy that wall piece by piece.' I thought.He smiled and layed on the ground. I layed down near him and asked: ,,What's your brother's name ?" He sighted and said ,, Chiristian."
