Chapter one: A messed up family

"YOU ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF ME!" I screamed at my mom. My parents recently got divorced and every time I try to do something fun, my bitchy mother gets in the way of it. "Yes I am Iris! I am your mother and you will do what I tell you" She shouted back. "Im 18. Im a legal adult and you know that! Me and

Danny are moving out" I yelled. Danny is my 12 year old brother. He has shaggy brown hair and light hazel eye's. I wanted to move out for a while, but I didn't want to leave him here with that beast I call my mother. I stormed upstairs to my my room. I gathered all my stuff together and ran into Danny's room.

"Time to go"I said. "Hold on I just gotta finish this letter I'm gonna leave" He said. "Who's it for?" I asked. "Jack frost and the Easter Bunny. They need to know our new address" He said. I smiled. He has the best imagination. I quickly pulled out my cell phone and called my dad. "Hey can you pick us up now?" I

asked. "Be right there sweetheart" My loving dad answered. "Ok see ya" I said. I then hung up. "K Im done" Danny exclaimed. He gathered up his things I picked up mine. We both went quietly downstairs. "Where do you think your going?" My mom asked rudely. "To dad's" I spat. Her face went red with anger. I then

felt a stinging sensation in my cheek. I realized i've been slapped. Danny gasped. "THIS IS WHY WE ARE LEAVING!" I screeched. Me and Danny ran out the door before my mom could do any more damage. We walked down the street and then sat on the curb, waiting for my dad. 10 minutes later my dad pulled up.

We both sat in the back, as Danny insisted. "Is everything gonna be ok now?" He asked. I smirked. "You bet. Your big sister isn't gonna let that monster touch ya" I said. He laughed and hugged me. "I love ya" He said. "Love ya too kid" I said. "Look at this cute moment" My dad joked. I playfully punched him in the

shoulder. The rest of the ride was a blast too because we blasted the radio and sang along to 'feel this moment ft: Christina Aguilera'. When we got to our new home me and Danny immediately went to bed. It was about 1:00 am when I finally fell asleep.

*Dream*

I raced through the forest with a crying Danny in my arms. His leg was badly bleeding. Something big was chasing us, but I didn't know what exactly. I ran around a lake hopping we would lose the animal. We went behind a waterfall. I want you to take my phone and run. Call dad and whatever you do, don't look

back" I instructed Danny. "W-what about-t y-you?" He sobbed. "I'll be fine kid. I promise" I said. He quickly ran/ limped out. Right after he left the giant animal cornered me. I wasn't going to let it get My baby brother. Over my dead body. "Yo fluffy! Get at me" I yelled. The thing rushed at me and flung his giant paw.

*End of dream*

I woke up in a cold sweat. I sat up and sighed. These dumb nightmares are getting worse. Just then my door opened and Danny appeared. "Iris? You up?" He asked. "Yeah" I answered. "Do you wanna explore the forest?" He asked. "I dont know..." I started. "Pwease" He begged in his baby voice. "Fine" I caved. He

"Hey!" He shouted. I giggled. When I was done I placed my bowl in the sink and we both started to the door. "Where are ya goin'?" My dad asked suspiciously. I smiled. I think I look more like my dad. He has dark brown hair and pale brown skin. He also has Brown almost black eye's. Danny I say looks more like my

mom, which is a shame. He has the same light brown hair and hazel eye's. "Just for a walk" I answered. "Where?" He asked. "The forest" Danny said. "Ok, but be careful. There are a lot of bears and wolves in that forest" He warned. "Don't worry dad. We'll be ok" Danny said. "Well be careful" My dad said as we

walked out the door. "We know" Danny said as we walked away. I hope that Danny was right. I just hope my dream doesn't come true.
