My name is Iris.
I don't have a last name.
They don't let me have one.
I tell myself its lustre
Lustre is Latin for fire.

I'm an elf.
They tell me I'm not fit to be an elf
They cut the tips of my ears off.
Banned me from magic

I'm happy.
They tell me I should be crying
They want my tears. 
They don't deserve my tears.
I don't give them to anyone.

I'm strong.
But they make me weak.
They're my family
They used to be my family 
One day I will burn them to the ground.

Lustre is Latin for fire.

The fire inside me.


"Iris," he snorts, "What a silly name for a pesk like you. You are nothing. Little iris. The iris that will never bloom. Iris will never bloom."








Currently re-writing this story, so sorry if it takes a bit. =D

My Mother Runs With Wolves

51 parts Complete

A genetically unique but emotionally lost teenager must figure out who she is within her mixed-up, warring world of Shifters and Wolfstalkers. ***** It wasn't Maddie's choice to be born a half-breed, half Shifter, half Wolfstalker -- a hunter of Shifters -- and it wasn't her choice to keep her identity a secret. But after trying to attend high school like any normal sixteen-year-old, things quickly spiral south when her Stalker uncle finds out about her and catapults her out of anonymity and into the awareness--or possibly the crosshairs--of The Order of the Wolfstalker. Maddie must think fast and figure out a way to keep herself and her family safe, or risk losing everything. Including her life. [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]
