Chapter 9
Disclaim.
Iris nearly screamed when she saw two teenagers sitting on her brothers computer, looking like they belonged. "Who the hell are you? And what the hell are you doing in MY house?"
The boy and girl looked up, just noticing she'd entered the house. "This isn't your house. This house belongs to Mr. DiMera." The girl exclaimed.
"It belongs to me, my brother and my sister. Tony has just decided to take up permanent residence here. Now, answer my question! Who are you two and what do you think you are doing?" Iris demanded.
"Cassie, Rex? What is all this noise about? I have an enormous headache and," Tony entered the room and followed the twins line of vision, "Iris, you're home earlier than expected. What's all the ruckus about?"
"Tony, I know I haven't spoken to you in that long, but who are they?" She pointed to Cassie and Rex.
"Oh, it must've slipped my mind earlier when you arrived. This is Cassie and Rex, they're the Gemini Twins." Tony explained.
"Gemini Twins?" Iris repeated the words aloud, and suddenly found herself in another time and place.
~Flashback~
"Rolf you idiot! I warned you what would happen to you if something went wrong with the Gemini Twins! If you mess this up." Stefano growled.
"I von't mess dis up, Stefano, I swear to you. Everyting is going according to plan." Rolf smiled and noticed the door to the study was open a crack. He walked over and pulled the door open. A 5-year-old Iris looked up at him in terror.
She ran into the study straight to her father's lap, "Daddy!"
Stefano stroked her hair, "It's all right Iris. Rolf can't hurt you! You're a DiMera! Never forget that! When you're old enough you and the twins will fulfill your destinies." He kissed her forehead and someone knocked on the door.
Rolf opened it and saw Bart standing on the other side, "Bart? Vat is it?" Rolf demanded.
"Sorry boss but we had a coupla little problems. We kinda lost Iris, it's no big deal she's still in the house."
Stefano cut him off. "I know you lost her you moron. I told you to watch over my daughter like a hawk and of course you didn't. What is the other problem?" He demanded.
"There's a change in the twins condition, it requires your immediate attention." Bart smiled meekly.
Stefano nodded his head, he placed Iris on the floor and kneeled down to her, "I have to go Iris. Promise me you won't tell anyone what you heard here tonight."
"Yes father." Iris hugged him and Stefano kissed the top of her head.
"Be good." Stefano warned her.
~End Flashback~
"Iris?" Tony questioned her.
She opened her eyes and discovered she was on the couch, "How'd I get here?"
"You fainted and I carried you here. The doctor will be arriving shortly." Tony handed her a glass of water and she sat up to drink it.
"I don't need a doctor Tony. I'm fine. I haven't eaten much lately, it's nothing." Iris hated doctors and she was sure this wouldn't be any different.
"All the same. I want to get you a clean bill of health before you start school."
Before Iris could argue the doorbell rang and in moments someone new entered the room. Iris studied him. Mid thirties, spiky brown hair, handsome, not bad at all.
"I came as soon as I could Tony. Now what seems to be the problem?" The man asked. An undistinguishable accent. Australian and Irish, odd.
"Colin Murphy, this is my sister, Iris. Iris, Dr. Murphy." Tony introduced the two. "Iris fainted awhile ago, right after she met the twins."
Colin looked at her questioningly, "Do you know something about them?"
"I'm sorry?" Iris asked.
"Never mind." Colin checked her out silently which gave Iris time to ponder the memory flash she had. "You seem to be fine. A little dehydrated and unnourished, but fine. A good nights sleep and dinner should bring you back to normal." Colin stood up, "Nice to meet you Ms. DiMera."
"Iris please." Colin nodded and walked out in the foyer.
Tony excused himself, "What the hell was that? Asking my sister about the twins?!" Tony whispered angrily at Colin.
"Let's talk outside." Colin suggested, when they stepped into the garden Tony began berating Colin.
"My sister is here by my fathers request and as far as I know has no knowledge of the twins at all. I'd like to keep her out of DiMera affairs as long as possible. Father always had this ridiculous notion that Iris was an innocent in all this. So, as per his wishes she's to be kept out of the loop."
Colin nodded his head, "Are you going to tell her about the twins?" He asked.
"I'll tell her what she needs to know. Otherwise she's left in the dark. Do you understand?"
Colin nodded his head again.
"Good, then go." Tony walked back into the house.
~Inside~
"So, you're Tony's sister?" Cassie asked. Iris nodded her head, "And what are you two doing here?"
"Oh, we live here with Mr. DiMera." Rex explained.
"Ah, well what about your parents?" Iris hoped they would have a good explanation and that her dream had been just that, a dream.
"We don't know." Cassie said sadly.
"Oh. I need to talk to Tony." Iris got up and went to go to the foyer when the door opened.
"Iris, just the person I wanted to see. Could you come with me please?" Tony smiled.
Iris complied. When they reached the library, Tony her down in a chair and smiled. "Isn't this nice?"
Iris nodded, "Tell me about the Gemini Twins. And I mean EVERYTHING you know Tony. Don't make me find things out on my own. I know you don't want that."
Tony sighed, he knew this was coming, but it wasn't likely that she'd find another source of information. "I'll tell you what I know."
A/N: I'm REALLY lazy and I don't feel like going over all the crap with the Gemini Twins. Basically Tony tells her who found them, how he got custody, nothing about the blue key and that they have the tattoos.
"That's it? You know nothing else?" Iris exclaimed.
"Sorry, no."
"You only want them here because they could be related to father. This is ridiculous. I'm going to bed." And with that Iris went to her room.
That's the end of chapter 9. Ohhh, you got 2 chapters! That means I'd like at least 2 reviews. Otherwise I'm holding back chapters. Do I need to go over how to review again? See that thingy at the bottom of the screen that says, "Review this story"? Yes? Good, well click on that button next to it. A screen will pop up, and then all you do is type something in. Constructive criticism only please.
