Iris' point of View
I felt the life drain from my body and I lost consciousness
***************************
I could feel the life returning to me starting with my hearing. I could hear birds and movements close by, the wind brushed through the grass and I suddenly realized that I could feel the wind caress my body. I could feel the grass under me and a cool wet cloth on my forehead. I could taste a dry foulness spreading throughout my mouth and smell a minty essence close by. My body ached terribly and I didn't think I could open my eyes let alone get up.
"I know you are awake." A soft little girls voice spoke close to my ear. I pried my eyes open to see a beautiful little spanish girl with soft brown eyes and curly brown hair. Wait, how could I see anyone?!?!?! Im dead! John killed me!
"How am I not dead?" I asked her and a smile broke across her face.
"You are dead silly! You are in my meadow where all Holders go when they die." She said and I wondered how that was possible.
"Are you god?" I asked feeling slightly stupid, but no one said that God can't be a 8 year old Spanish girl. She giggled and pulled away the wet cloth she had on my head.
"No! I am Gaia!" She said as if this fixed all of the problems that I was facing.
"I don't know who you are." I whispered and she suddenly looked sad.
"I was the first Earth Holder. I am Earth personified." She said and my mind made a sudden connection to the legends that I had heard all those months ago. If she was Earth personified then I was dead and so was she and I would never see my family again.
"Why am I here?" I asked a tear rolling down my face in mourning for my friends. Luke! I would never see my Luke ever again! The tears really started to flow now.
"I told you you are dead. Your brother and sister killed you." She said "Do you not remember?" She asked and I frowned.
"Jasmine is not my sister." I said defiantly and she shook her head and out of the bushes came Jasper. He looked healthy and he smiled when he saw me.
"Hello Iris." He said.
"Hi Jasper!" Gaia said waving a little too enthusiastically.
"Hello little one what a pleasant surprise." He said to her smiling. He sat down and turned to me, his face going from happy to grave. "Iris, You had a sister. A twin in fact, that you never knew of. I was sworn to secrecy when you were born, for I was there. Jasmine-"
"SHE IS NOT MY SISTER!" I said my heart sinking. She couldn't be... Could she?
"Yes she is." Jasper said sadly. "You were born, and you were a beautiful baby, but your sister, she was born stillborn. Your mother never knew, the only people who knew were Bhavya, her son, and I. Bhavyas son Grayson was asked to take Jasmine and bury her so that no one would ever know about her. He was never seen again." Jasper finished sadly.
"Then why did her and John kill me if they were my siblings?" I asked and this time Gaia answered my question.
"They are demons. Well Jasmine is, your brother has been possessed and is now the demon king."
"Whoa.... Slow down! What?" I asked my head spinning. What were they talking about?
"Gaia maybe you should go and check on the others, I need time alone with Iris." Jasper said and Gaia got up and smiled at me before skipping from the clearing we were in.
"Demons?" I asked Jasper and he nodded.
"Devil like beings who rule hell and have come to earth to take over the world and kill us all." He said
"How was Jasmine born a demon?" I asked.
"Well, this is where the story is speculated among us who know of her. Your mother did cheat on your father, with a demon. A demon named Allistair. Demon babies are born stillborn, which explains your sister. Your father is Allistair Iris, you are half demon." He stopped and took a breath looking at me in sorrow.
"I am half demon? The how come I wasnt born still born?" I asked and Jasper smiled.
"Now that I do know for sure. Allistair was not a powerful demon and your mother, believe it or not, was a very good person with a very good heart. A Holder cannot be born evil as all demons are, so your evil essence transferred to your mother and you were born good. You kept your demon powers and they magnified your Earth powers. Iris you are the single most powerful Holder of all time." Jasper finished with a flourish. I began to hyperventilate, most powerful? I couldn't even make the grass grow!
"I dont have any powers!" I said and Jasper shook his head.
"You haven't been able to harness them yet, you will be able to when you truly need them." He whispered.
"I am already dead!" I shrieked, "I. Am. Dead. I have no powers and even if I did I wouldn't be able to use them! I'm dead and will never see anyone I care about ever again!" I dissolved into tears, sobbing into my hands.
"You may be dead, but who says you have to stay that way?" Jasper asked.
"I can get back?! Show me! Send me back! Now!" I demanded. Jasper stood up.
"Ahhh. The impatience of youth." He said as he backed into the trees behind him.
"No! Jasper don't go!" I pleaded. He simply smiled and disappeared into the trees. A wind blew through the clearing, placing a soft but firm hand on my cheek before blowing away and leaving me. Alone.
