"With your temper Iris I'm surprised you didn't hit him" the man said as he leaned back in his chair.

" No matter how angry he made me I would've never have hitted him..." she said softly.

"Your stay wasn't that horrible though right? You clearly became close with Blue Eyes and a few others."

She smiled sadly while drifting off in thought, remembering fond memories of the blue eyed ape and someone else.

"The beginning wasn't horrible...nothing I couldn't handle but later on things...happened that effected everyone" she said queitly while rubbing the scar on her neck.

The Ape Village, 3 years ago

Iris stumbled down the steps of the stairs while holding onto the tree for balance, Ellie tried to help her but she refused. When they got to the bottom all the apes near stopped what they where doing to look at her, some of them glared at her while others signed with each other as they walked by, Iris kept her face expressionless and avoided her their gaze in general as the gorilla lead the 2 woman to the place she could get cleaned off. She then saw a familiar face sitting on a log, it was Blue Eyes and he wasn't alone he had a baby ape with him.

Once he saw her a look of relief fell on his face and she smiled weakly at him, he quickly got up and walked over to her, he caught her off guard when he hugged her but she slowly hugged him back while carefully keeping herself from squishing the baby, the others around them where surprised that there prince was hugging the human,she then pulled away to look at the blue eyed ape.

"I'm glad...your alright?" he said to her.

She looked at him then to the baby who was now looking at her, Blue Eyes looked down at him too.

"He's cute..." she said quietly as she lightly stroked his face with her finger which both his little hands grabbed as he stared at her curiously.

"What's his name?.." She asked Blue Eyes.

"Cornelius...my brother.."

She looked at Blue Eyes a little surprised by this information then back to Cornelius, she didn't know Caesar had another son but then again she never let him talk to her long enough for him to explain anything. Her hair had fallen past her shoulders to hang in front of her face and this caught Cornelius's attention, he used one of his hands to reached out and grabbed a strand of it then let go of her finger that his other hand was holding and used it to feel her hair, it brought a smile to both of them but the apes around them became shocked or nervous.

"What did...you and...father talk about?..." he asked her.

She gently removed Cornelius's hands from her hair causing the baby hoot a little bit in protest, she then looked back at him.

"Your father has put me on lockdown basically..." she said plainly.

"Lockdown?..." he asked confused.

"I can't leave this place for awhile..."

A part of the blue eyed ape was happy that he was going get to spend time with his aunt but the other part of him became crestfallen do to her expressionless face.

Ellie then placed a hand on her shoulder causing her to turn her head to look at her.

"Iris the sooner I get your head stitched up the better..."

Iris took a big sigh and turned her head back to look at Blue Eyes.

"I'll talk to you later Blue...you should talk to your parents if you want to know the rest" she said queitly as Luca led them to continue their previous destanation, she noticed out the corner of her eye that Cornelia was coming down the stairs heading over to Blue Eyes.

Luca had lead them to a cave that had a waterfall, he gestured to Iris to use one of the pools of water that was inside the cave. Iris slowly made her way over to one of them and then started to take off her clothes, Ellie and Luca got a better look of her scars now, she could see Ellie looking sadly and Luca wincing at the sight of her naked scared flesh, she began to wrap her arms around her body to cover herself beginning to feel self-concious. The gorilla seemed to notice this so he turned around to face the entrace while Ellie sat down and watched her step into the pool.

She washed off the mud then she got out and changed into a black shirt with brown pants that Ellie gave her, after she changed she sat next to Ellie so she could start putting in the stitches for her head. It was painful and caused her to wince a couple times but the rest of the time she looked out the entrance voidly.

"Where's Bruce?" Iris asked weakly.

"We put him in the jeep because the apes where making a fuss about him...he'll stay with us for right now... you'll probably will have to ask Caesar if he can stay here" she said while not stopping what she was doing.

Iris closed her eyes in relief knowing he was alright.

"He saved your life Iris...if he hadn't found us...who knows what could have happened.."

Ellie then saw Iris bring her hand up to the scar on her neck to rub it.

"Do you want to talk about them..." Ellie asked her carefully.

"Not really..." she replied while still looking straight.

"Iris the apes that hurt you-

"Their both dead Ellie" she cut her off curtly still never turning her head, this surprised Ellie enough to stop what she was doing and made Luca turn his head slightly, becoming interested in the the conversation

"They have been dead for 5 years...they can't hurt me anymore" she said queitly as her her hand left her neck.

Ellie started to do the stitches again, deciding to drop the subject for now and Iris continued to stare out the entrance voidly as a lone tear dripped down her check and Ellie and Luca saw this.
