Something more than reality : The Fire Iris

Walk

Mia's POV

Night. Beautiful and mysterious.Yeah,we need to go at night too cause the guards saw us at the town nearby. They followed us almost all the way here. Ugh so annoying. But now I think they lost us. At least. I know we could fought them but there was about thirty of 'em and we are only four. So we choose running. I'm tired of all this, really. But at least we are closer now. Zoe looks tired like hell too. I sighted and stared at the night sky. It's breath taking. It's like many little points on a large black canvass. When I was much younger my mom used to tell me that once we'll all become stars. Yeah, I think she and my father becomed stars too early. When they left me I was sleeping,dreaming about other things. I never thought that there was something wrong, I thought they were happy. As the time passed slowly I asked myself always the same questions.Was it my fault? Or something happened to them? I honestly don't know. Sometimes I belived that they just went on a trip and they will come for me tomorrow. But that never happened. I got much older and got used to it. Those years were the hardest for me. But I had Zoe. She was my only and best friend, the only one I could trust, in one word my second 'family'. Sometimes I felt like we were connected somehow. We couldn't last a minute without each other. Or if we did it wasn't for really long. Zoe'd lost her parents too. In a car accident. Their car crashed to a tree after it crashed with another car. They were dead immediately. The police told us that the driver of the other car was drunk, but I never believed them. Zoe sunk into depressions like me. We both were so mentaly broken those times but as I said we got older and slowly got out of it. Together. I think you know the continuing. And we are here now walking in a big forest to find a witch named Jane, cause we need her help to find a damn flower in some kind of mountains.
Great. Just great. I'm so tired from all of this shit happening here. I just want to find those flowers and get outa here! And fast. But Zoe wouldn't come with me. I know that. One: her boyfriend is here and I think he want to stay. Two: this place. From the first time we stepped into this... 'fantasy' world it seemed familiar. I don't know why but I remember this place. Like... I was here before. But when? Why? I'm starting to have enough of this. All of this is making me look deeper into my horrible past. And I hate it. I hate looking at those old invisible wounds. I just wanna forget. But even if I try I can't. Something just makes me look back. A little part in me is still curious, unlike the other part of me it still wants to know what happened. Even if I hate it I have to admitt, I'm curious. You know I always hated mysteries. Ohh Zoe loved them so much. I don't know why....but....they were making me nervous. I couldn't read even a half of a book cause I was that nervous and pissed. Now I think I know why. So much mysterious situations had happened in my life that I can't even enjoy a book. Yeah. I sighted and looked at Zoe. She looked at me and smiled. I love her bright blue eyes, they're amazing. Sometimes I fell like they are alive.I quickly smiled back at her. But then I looked away. I don't want to show her how much these things hurt me. Even if it was long ago.

Zoe's POV

'Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming.' I thought. I think I'll sound extremely childlish if I tell this is my motto. You know this was my favourite movie in my childhood. I alway watched it with my father. Ohh those great times. How long has it been? About 11 years? I'm not even sure how many years had passed actually. I know I can just use my maths knowledge but, I'm barely believing that it was just 11 years. It seems like thousands and thousands of years had passed since...the accident. I didn't thought about it for a long time to be honest. For me the Just keep swimming means Just go on, after all of those darker years I learned to let things go. If I'll cry all the time it wouldn't bring my parents back to me. Even if I really want it to happen. I looked at Chris and smiled. He grabbed my hand and kissed my forehead. I quickly kissed his cheek and turned away from him. I love him so much! I blushed lightly and looked at Mia. She looked like deep in thoughts. And quite sad. Yeah, Mia was always the time of a person who couldn't just let things fly. She always denied it but it was true. After the death of my parents and her parents disappearance we both broke. I mean not literally. We broke mentaly. I got out of it after about two or three years, but Mia is still struggling with this. I know I'm not blaming anyone. I at least know what happened to them. But Mia don't. She's dying with curiosity and I know that. I have to admitt that the last few years she was more aggressive. And that's what makes her dangerous. She want answers. Both of us want them. Really, I don't think that the driver of the other car was drunk. I feel when someone's lying. Back on the Earth I felt this feeling a lot of times, most likely when I was with Mia. I never liked when she was lying to me. It made me curious. Even if we were always together I sometimes felt lonely. In her childhood Mia was always the loud and cheerfull one. But after the disappearance she changed a lot. She was quieter and more aggressive than before. Even if she smiled I know that she was often faking it. I'm not telling she always faked the smile. Just often. When I asked her why are we sitting in silence (They were younger)she told me this:,,To be honest with you I don't know. It's just comfortable to sit in complete silence. I call it comfortable silence." Then she just looked at the sky I never understanded why but she always looked at the sky. But I was little so I brushed it off and looked at it with her. I sighed and looked at her again. When I did I met her purple eyes. Those eyes. Sometimes I felt like they lived their own life. Her body was showing happiness but her eyes shown sadness. I know that something's wrong, but why don't she tell me? I'm her friend, no her BEST friend. Then why? I honestly don't know. But when we arrive to that witch I 'll ask her how to keep our powers at the minimum. We are both getting stronger and our normal behavior is changing too. Mia was more aggressive and introvert lately and I'm feeling and extreme urge to kill someone. Our bodies also started to change. The tips of my hair are changing their color. Just like Mia's but her hair is changing into purple and mine into white color. Weird huh?

Mia's POV

Walking. We are still walking. I looked around and everyone looks sleepy.,,Guys we should go to sleep, each one of us looks tired as hell." I said in a tired voice.I'm so tired that I'm barely standing. ,,Yeah we should." Zoe said while yawning.The boys just nodded and we soon started a fire.,,Where is that witch living anyway?" I asked.,,Nearby, we just need to follow the river." Chris yawned. I looked at Zoe who was asleep near me. I decided to lay down next to her. I looked up at the sky again. Beautiful. Stargazing is my favourite thing to do. I like it because, on summer night like this me and my parents used to do it all night long. This is the clearest memory I have with them. I sighted and closed my eyes.'The sorrows will may go away tomorrow.' I thought.'Or may not'. With that I've fallen asleep.
