"You failed again." said a sharp voice. A slender figure came into view. She was petite with a porcelain face and deep mahogany eyes that flickered the utmost annoyance, not rage just annoyance; at least, not yet. Her hair was a deep red, almost like fresh blood and she stared down at a smaller girl. This girl had the same figure and face as the first girl but she had raven black hair. "I know, Dahlia… I'm sorry… I tried to-" "Sorry isn't good enough, Iris." Dahlia hissed at her sister.
They were twins, physically identical in everyway but when it came down to personality they were polar opposites. Dahlia was courageous and strong willed. She would do what ever it takes to get what she wanted, even if it was to take out the people in her way. Iris was quiet and timid yet caring and sweet. She didn't like violence but adored her sister's go-getter attitude and would do almost anything to appease her and gain her sister's approval.
"I'm loosing my patience with you." Dahlia said and Iris whimpered. "I just need a little more time, I promise I'll do what you asked me just give me more time." "I've given you enough time!" Dahlia deliberately cut off her sister. "You're a complete failure and of no use to me anymore." Iris then heard her mumble under her breath. "If you want something done right you have to do it yourself." "Please, Dahlia! Please! Just a little more time! I can be helpful but you need to" "Don't tell me what I need to do, Iris." Dahlia spat. "But I know I can help you! Dahlia, please!" Iris met her twin's eyes and suddenly felt as if they were locked into place. Dahlia's gaze burned into her and Iris fought the need to shrink away and hide from the scornful eyes.
Finally, after a few moments of silence, Dahlia's eyes softened a bit. "Very well, Iris. I'll give you another month. No more, no less, and by the end of that month I want you to have accomplished the goal." Iris, feeling as if all the energy was just drained from her could only nod. Dahlia then turned and left Iris alone. Iris stared at where her sister had been and went deep into thought. How was she going to appease her sister in just one month?
