Finally! I'm caught up and ready to start lets do finally i'm at a point where I can make the story how I like it I really wanted this damn baby born and everything and so now daily updates and longer chapters.
There will be flashback chapters to show where Iris went, who is Iris and how did Klaus and Iris meet.
I stood there looking at Klaus with a bundle in his arms, I walked closer to him rubbing my arm's from night's cold air sending a slight chill up my spine. It's been a long time since I saw Klaus..even longer seeing him look so peaceful.
Klaus looked up and me with a smirk on his face, but he knew..he knew I could feel the hurt, the fear..everything I could feel it and I been feeling it for a very long time, but even more so than ever. "Hello Iris."
Flashback
Iris was tossed into a gravestone, Iris huffed fixing her white shirt " You fucker we just stole these!" Klaus jumped off one of the gravestones " Actually love I paid for it" Iris snarled at him fangs now bared. "What's the problem 'love' upset I don't wanna stand around while you play house." Klaus ran at her with vamp speed holding Iris up by her throat and ignoring the pain he was feeling from Iris clawing at his hands. "Now tell me why shouldn't I kill you for you're betrayal hm? I expected this from everyone but you Iris.."
Iris flinched at how toxic it sounded hearing her name fall from his lips but brought her knee up, kneeing him in the face and than lifting her leg smashing it on his rotator up, hearing a sickening snap. " Betrayal!? How dare you even accuse me of such" Iris yelped as she felt her wrist being twisted back and her being pushed chested first up against the wall. Iris snarled more trying to get lose " Easily when you say you don't want to see my unborn child" Iris finally stopped struggling.
"That has nothing to do with you" " IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH ME" Iris attempted to flee only to be caught yet again. "You will answer me Iris" Iris glared at Klaus and felt a tug on her chest. " I can't..Klaus you Hayley the child Elijah it's all to much for me."
Klaus stared at her with wide watery eyes " After everything..this is what becomes to much..for the women who could never leave my side.." Iris stared up at Klaus " Absents makes the heart grow fonder I hear.." Klaus looked at Iris and finally let go of her wrist " You will return to me Iris.."
Iris nodded holding the hand that held her wrist and kissed it softly, Klaus snarled grabbing her by her neck baring his fangs at her. Iris sighed calmly turning her head to the side baring her neck to Klaus submissively, Klaus teeth brushed against her neck slightly, before forcing her to look him in the eyes. Iris stared up at Klaus and waited for him to consume her in which he did. Klaus kissed her roughly, Iris wanted to touch him to take this further but knew she couldn't knew right now, Klaus need proof that she was devoted to him.
Klaus pulled back and looked at Iris, lip stick smudged. "You will return to me.." Klaus released her taking a deep shaky breath.
Iris looked at Klaus and nodded running the opposite way..Klaus for the first time in a long time was utterly alone..
End of Flashback
Iris looked exactly the same except something was different, Iris was wearing a black V-neck and ripped designed skinny jeans and was barefooted, most likely lost her heels on the way to him, Klaus had called Iris up in need of her and just as he called she took off running to him it been at least three months of them not being around each other Iris stared at him now realizing the reason for his calling was to show off his finally gained family, she tried to gulp down the feeling but it was to late.
Klaus looked up at her confused holding the baby protectively against his chest he looked at Iris with watery eye's "Does..does my child offend you that much?" Iris pressed her lips closed her pouty red lips sealed shut, Klaus gripped Iris's hair tugging it back so she could face him her eye make up was done differently it was done in a cat eye like style which made her look more cunning instead of the innocent fox she usually looked like she looked dangerous. Iris sighed " No Klaus I'm more concerned as to why I'm here" Iris looked down at the baby and looked at Klaus asking a silent question which he nodded to.
Iris touched the baby's cheek feeling a warmth inside "I need you to take her and run.." Iris looked at him eye's widen "W-what?" Klaus nodded tears threatening to fall "It's not safe around me..it never will be Iris you my biggest secret..and this child my pride and joy I want you to look after her" Iris took a step back, Klaus felt a pull and knew she was scared. "Klaus..Hayley? Elijah? W-what about someone else!" Klaus shook his head "Hayley..Hayley and Elijah wants her to stay" Klaus chuckled playing with the babys finger, Iris was confused..Klaus was the only one wanting to give up his child, Klaus finally had tears pouring " You know this isn't easy for me..I just know with you she'll be.." Iris stepped foreword touching Klaus face, looking him in the eyes "Come with us?" Klaus shook his head removing her hands one by one allowing her to hold his child, Iris stiffened up and held the child protectively her motherly instincts kicking in. " I have to rebuild my kingdom so she will be safe..so you can no longer be a secret."
Iris finally understood what was happening though she has again no idea what happened up to this point while she was away she knew that the future Klaus wants..he will do anything and everything to create.
Klaus looked at Iris as her eye's got red looking like she was holding back tears. "Klaus.." Klaus wiped his eyes looking at her " Don't tell me where you're going..get rid of your phone you'll know when I want you home.."
Klaus took in a shaky breath as Iris tails sprung out, Iris tail softly wrapped around the baby in safe soft fur almost like a cradle/blanket while the other eight tails began to wave around softly. Iris eye's watered as Klaus spoke to her " That baby is my only hope.." Iris understood and sprinted off before he could take back his words, before he could stop her a fox is known for there swiftness..
Iris ran on both her legs only half fox form allowing her eye's to see everything perfectly, and her ears to hear everything she ducked each tree branch, and narrowly missed any bushes or tree's that were in her way, as she ran the pain in her chest got stronger but for the first time instead of running to Klaus she was running further and further away.
Iris looked at the baby, the baby the brought a wedge between Klaus and her..the baby she longed to carry for Klaus, the baby she feared, now the baby she will raise..will protect..will love. 'I won't let anyone take you from me..anyone to harm you..' Iris let her fox like instinct take over and she focused on her direction in where she was running fangs bared and nails sharpened in case anyone appeared.
Klaus broke down on the street on his knee's and screamed out in pain his only hope, was now to become his biggest secret Klaus knew hope was safe Iris would sooner die than allow anything to happen to Hope, Iris would raise her to be stylish..to be sarcastic wise-ass.. Klaus laughed sadly " I hope..my child learns to invest in some shoes.."
Klaus drove back to the manor and looked at Hayley and Elijah was hurt eyes, Hayley looked around Klaus "W-where's our baby?" Klaus looked at her and sighed " She unlike you will grow up with love..with safet-" Elijah choked Klaus up against the wall " What have you done." Klaus gave broken smile " I gave her freedom.." Hayley at that point fell to her knee's eye's burning " Why ! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT finally we got rid of the witch" Klaus snarled " She will return to me! She will.." Elijah looked at Klaus " You gave her to someone? Who else can protect her! Who else but us!" Hayley looked up in realization " Iris..you gave her to Iris" Klaus mouth snapped shut giving Elijah enough time to acknowledge that it was true.
Elijah let go of Klaus sitting on the edge of the bed " Why brother..why give her to someone who left you sad and bitter for months" Klaus fixed his shirt "Because..Catching Iris is almost impossible..Hope will be safer with her than us."
Elijah sped off, Hayley glared at Klaus while Klaus realized his brother was going after Iris, Klaus looked down at Hayley " Help me fix this kingdom so our daughter can grow up the princess she was meant to be " Hayley fixed her shirt nodding at Klaus. "She will return to us?" Klaus didn't say anything just cleaned up the mess 'She will return to me..'
Elijah ran around the whole town searching for Iris, until finally he came across Marcel. "Marcel." Marcel turned and faced Elijah smirking "So how's the new family?" Elijah took step to Marcel "What do you know of foxes?" Marcel scratched his head " Is this about Klaus little girlfriend? Iris?" "Just answer the question" Elijah said shoving his hands in his pockets, Marcel licked his lips contemplating "Fine..you didn't hear it from me.. apparently there supposed to be extinct but Iris proved it wrong, there tails show there strength depending on the fox the max is ten so I've heard." Elijah nodded listening more " Now this is a rumor I don't know if it's true, but there supposed to be fast also supposed to have great physical strength Iris I've asked around and looked around you know since she tried to kill me the only thing people see of her is in security cameras but she's always in and out she doesn't stay long."
"But now with a baby she will..there's no place you could think of she will rest? stop by" Marcel's eyes widen abit "Woah wait she took Klaus baby" "took..given..same matter" Marcel nodded not wanting to know what happened there " Woods she's a fox she won't be traveling by-" Before Marcel could finish Elijah ran off.
Elijah searched through out the woods and couldn't find her there was nothing of Iris, he frowned and pointed at the woods and scratched his head in frustration. Klaus ran up to him " Brother..she will return she always returns." Elijah glared at Klaus "Why why would you do this! The family you so called desire why would you split us all up AGAIN" Elijah fell to his knee's in front of Klaus, Klaus sighed " To protect my family she will return..for she always returns brother regardless of anything."
Elijah shook he had to find Iris he just couldn't stop looking, Klaus watched Elijah run off again and turned to head by to Hayley to plan an attack on the wolves and fix what he destroyed.
As day broke the darkness around the forest, Iris was laying in a patch of moist grass facing a smiling baby waving her hands at the many tails that floated above her head, Hope rested on the tail that's been carrying her half the night, Iris sat up letting her hair fall over Hope and watched as Hope entangled it's hands in her hair. Iris removed her hand tickling her stomach. "Hope..you'll love you're home though I haven't been there in ages.."
Iris looked around the forest feeling a bit unnerved, Iris tail scooped up Hope again holding her close to her back as the rest of her tail's puffed out and she stared out at the now bright woods, there was no one there she could tell she would of been smelled something if someone was there but something..she felt nervous for some reason very nervous.
Iris heard the baby bust a loud squeal as one of Iris tails tickled its nose. Iris smiled and began removing her clothing, Iris was now butt naked her tails moving around her covering her womanly parts but showing off her well defined stomach and how it curved greatly on her hips. Iris walked towards the river and went to the muddy section. Iris began rubbing the mud against her skin and a little onto the babys " We have to cover your scent..you smell more like Klaus than Klaus himself" The baby eye's watered not liking the feel of the mud, Iris walked into the water washing the mud off and dropping her clothes in the water.
Iris shifted into her full fox form and shook off the remaining pieces of her human skin and began eating it to ensure Hope's safety. Iris began to sprint off faster than ever now in her full fox form she used one of her tails as a wind breaker to keep Hope from getting whipped by the air.
Elijah was far away from his home now still walking around in the woods he was upset his suit was getting ruined but more upset he could find no trace of Iris, was she really this much like a fox? Elijah had no idea how close are far he was from her or if he was going in the right direction.
"Sir you shouldn't be here did you know a goddess is sleeping?'" A man came out of a bushes skinning his deer, while Elijah looked at him confused "a goddess you say" The man wiped the sweat from his forehead "That I did she sleeps on the grassy patches and she carrys a child with her" Elijah eye's widen " When? where" The man looked at him shaking his head " A sin might I add to disturbed a sleeping goddess but she left awhile ago as soon as the sun rose she was gone I barely got a glimpse at her but she look to be headin north"
Elijah sprinted off before the man could finish trying his hardest to catch up with the wench known as Iris ' Wait for me Hope..'
Iris was a bit annoyed at the situation she was in, in front of her was a strange looking vampire, with black hair and piercing blue eyes, Iris could smell another one but couldn't figure out exactly where he was he was no where close squeeled playfully with the tails still tickling and moving around her.
"What do we have here? A fox that steal's babies?" The man's voice was full of arrogance and sarcasm, Iris did a loud hiss causing the man to step back a bit. Iris tails fluffed and her fox ear's folded back as Hope was tucked closer to her.
The man sighed " Look that baby belongs someone you can just go around taking things that don't belong to you..fox demon" Iris sprinted passed the man as he admitted to knowing what she was, the man reached for hope following after Iris only to get a surprise bite on his wrist and as quickly as Iris was holding on to him staring up at him with a angry snarl on her face she was sprinting off into the woods again.
The man fell on his knee's holding his wrist " That bitch."
Iris continued her fast sprint ' It would be easier in my half form..but than I wouldn't be able to cover as much ground..' Iris shook her head focusing on reaching her apartment listening to Hope slight breathing showing she had fallen asleep.
Few hours pass by.
Elijah sped through the forest choking a man up against the tree "Now tell me why do you smell like a fox" The man rolled his eyes gasp "Great maybe because I was bit by one" Elijah eye's furrowed "Excuse me?" The man gasped more "Let me down" Elijah looked at him carefully "You're Damon" Damon rolled his shoulder's tiredly "Yes and you're the proper Original..proper my ass" Damon scoffed.
Elijah sighed putting both hands in his pocket "What did you mean?" Damon looked at him confused " That bitch bit me what else would I mean?" Elijah was getting annoyed "Look where did she go and why did she bite you" Damon scoffed " For the first time I was trying to do a good deed and save a child she wasn't taking that" Elijah felt a smile almost slip on his lips..almost
"Which way?" Damon laughed " Kidding me? You're going to try and catch a fox demon? tough luck she's long gone she left a few hours ago meaning she's long gone" Elijah squinted " You talk almost like you know some information about fox demon" Damon nodded "mm that's because I do" Elijah crossed his arm's "Talk" Damon sighed tiredly "Last time I'm ever helping some swear it. Look fox demon's are almost extinct right? They stay hidden and keep on there toes, most of them are good at close-range fighting but they usually don't fight unless cornered and they only fight to protect or get you off them." Elijah rubbed his face basic fox like behavior "Now tell me what you know about Iris."
Damon eye's widen and he played it off "Nothing no idea who you even speak of" Elijah glared "I was born on a day but it was not yesterday." Damon scoffed " Iris fox demon only one I've ever seen and usually it's in passing..sexy and her body ju-" Elijah was again choking him, Damon rolled his eyes " Sorry sorry didn't realize you liked her to" Elijah rolled his eyes. "Information" Damon smirked "If you know her human form you'll find her easily"
Elijah was wasting time and threw Damon into a tree sprinting after her.
Apartment
Iris rolled her shoulder tiredly now entering her apartment " I havn't ran like that in a long time.." Iris looked around the apartment everything was the loft was picture perfect, there was medium length wooden table in the kitchen, the living room had a purple long couch with a white fur blanket, on the floor the rug was a cow skin and a glass table on top of it in the corner set-up was mac computer the table was white and the only color was the gold and white headphones over there on the wall hung a buck skull beneath it was a flat screen tv, next to that was record player with assorted records. Iris walked out the living room and moved her sheer curtains that lead to the bedroom Iris plucked Hope from her tail's flexing her tail that was now waving around wildly, Hope yawned whimpering as she was placed on the queen sized bed that was black and purple with various of red and purple pillows.
Iris sat next to Hope trying not to cry, the pain Klaus is feeling plus her own pain and confusion was finally taking it's toll on her 'Hope is mine..' Iris worst fear's was to get attached to this baby and have Klaus or worst Hayley snatch her from her. Though she knew Klaus wouldnt..Hayley a different story.
Iris looked around her room and saw the vanity wooden mirror with assorted makeup and than saw the billions of clothing and heels that flooded her closet neatly. 'I don't know if there is even room..' Iris looked at Hope who was staring up at her "Will just have to make room don't we.." Iris smiled picking up the baby and staring up a shower. Iris held Hope close to her chest allowing the warmish cool water rinse them of the filth.
After a few minutes Iris wrapped Hope up and through on black skinny jeans and a tee-shirt. Iris leaned down to pick Hope up smiling "Time to go shopping?"
Elijah Pov
Elijah was far away from home now he was exhausted 'I can't let my brother get rid of everything take away are family one by one.' Elijah was now in Colorado, and walking around trying to find hints on where Iris could be, Elijah stopped as he walked passed a shop seeing Iris holding the baby and having two men carry a bunch of stuff for her, they were staring at her hungrily and Elijah felt a chill up his spine as he almost hissed at the scene. Elijah followed her from a far, watching the scene as Iris cooed at the baby and went shopping at various baby stores.
When Hope started crying Elijah almost ran over to her but had to stop himself, Elijah watched at the two went walking in a building an apartment building and watched from a waited a bit watching the two men leave angrily probably thinking they were going to get some and followed in after her.
No Pov
Elijah turned the corner and saw an apartment door open and right when he was about to enter he felt someone pounce on him, Iris stared down at Elijah snarling menacingly eye's bright purple "Elijah" Elijah flipped her over and slammed her against the wall "Now where's my niece." Elijah and Iris both frozen at the loud playful giggling. Elijah ran into the apartment to try an get to Hope only to feel his legs give out and a sharp pain behind his knee's. Iris kicked him in his and than slammed her leg over his shoulder blade, Elijah snarled out in pain and grabbed her leg pulling her down to the ground. "Iris!"
Iris snarled and tried to bite at Elijah not hearing a word he was trying to say. Elijah back handed Iris stunning her for a second than allowing her to get angry and head butt him and he stumbled off her. Iris slouched claw's ready to rip out his throat if he came to close to Hope again, Iris stalked over to the couch eye's watered in frustration. "How why are you here!"
Elijah stood up now in peaceful mode trying to fix his suit "Give my niece to me" Iris snarled "She's mine" Elijah froze a bit stunned "Your's" Iris growled deeply as her tail's came out scooping up Hope again."Leave us!"
What!? Elijah found her! Of course that man is relentless.
I used my vintage Indian apartment and made it hers lol
