It's A Taken World

Chapter Two: Iris' Sight

Special Key for This Chapter

"English"- Regular speech.

*Surrey, England*

Iris Potter, now looking slightly healthier due to the foods that seemed to be produced from her new coat, was doing her chores.

Like usual.

With some extra energy, she didn't get punished as much, as she could actually get these chores done, but her Uncle Vernon was still a hateful man, and gave random punishments for her "Freakishness"

Her chores of tending to the garden were the easiest ones to deal with, due to the Watcher Naruko gave her being able to spend time with her (And in connection relay the information about her home life to Naruko, who was both happy and upset about certain things).

At the moment she was tending to the bushes in her Aunt's garden, while talking to the Taken Watcher, happy with having the nicer company.

"GIRL!" Her uncle called suddenly, his voice expelling so much anger that the girl started shaking immediately.

She quickly ran into the house, not wanting to anger her uncle anymore.

"Y-yes uncle?" Iris whispered as she entered the living room.

"You and your freakishness cost me my job! I think it is time to finish what that car crash started!" He growled drunkenly, grabbing her and pulling her into the kitchen by her hair, enticing a loud whimper.

"None of that girl! You should be thanking us for letting you live this long!" He growled.

*I don't think you guys would want to see this, so let's just... move forwards a little bit*

Iris coughed up blood, the injuries her uncle causing her having almost a guarantee of ending her life

'J-just like he said he would' she thought, her mind slowly shutting down.

'I don't want to die... but at least I lived a little better... in my last days.' She thought, dragging herself outside

'Maybe I can see birdie... just one more time.'

She made it outside, the large blood trail growing weaker as her own life faded.

The Watcher suddenly swooped down, its pure white eyes staring directly into Iris'

*With Naruko*

'Nonononono' she chanted, trying to get a portal open, to try and get to Iris. It seemed to be failing though, the darkness seeming to just not get accepted into the area.

She sighed.

'I don't know what to do... there is only thing I really can do. The Watcher.'

*Back to Iris*

Iris watched as the Taken bird hopped on top of her, suddenly turning into a puddle of goo after reaching the location of her heart.

She blacked out shortly after, as the mix of pain and extreme blood loss was too much for her.

*With Naruko again*

Naruko sighed again, this time glad that Iris seemed to be healing at a fast rate

She knew Iris would change drastically with what she had done.

But she would not take another thing into consideration.

Iris' magic, it had hooked up with the Watcher's abilities and changed them.

*Later*

Iris jolted awake with a gasp, before grabbing her head in agony.

'Why do I see so much! Too much!' She gasped out inside her head.

As she opened her eyes, the images got worse; multiple things from times gone flew in and out her head, she closed her eyes, the images seemed to slow. Some things about her seemed to jump into her mind, multiple emotions were sent to their peeks as she watched the events unfold.

*Flashback...?*

Albus Dumbledore walked into the building where the Girl-Who-Lived resided and grit his teeth angrily.

He expected the entire family to hate the girl for her magic, not just the girl's Uncle!

He pulled out his wand, and started casting spells, changing bodies,minds and other things of the people residing in the house. He changed the wards too, making it so anyone sent to possibly help her would get a bad feeling and stop, or just wouldn't be allowed inside.

'I need a malleable tool, for the greater good!' He thought.

*End*

'No! Stop! I don't want to see all of this!' Iris cried inside her head. The images seemed to steady out as she calmed down. She saw her own movements from a different perspective, even though her eyes were close. She saw herself even without basic sight.

She looked a bit healthier, gaining quite a lot of height that she seemed to fit much better into the coat, though it seemed the weight she gained seemed to spread across her more, making her look thin again. Her black hair went impossibly dark, with strands of shiny white similar to stars in a night sky. The glimpse she saw of her eyes she saw for a moment confused her. Her emerald eyes had a strange silver-white shine too them.

'What happened to me?' She thought.

'Who was that man?'

At that question more images went through her mind, text from books people were reading mended together producing a name for her

'Dumbledore'

Suddenly, the weaving of wards around the house came crashing down as it checked for the life force of Iris, but her fusing with the Watcher had affected her enough that it couldn't sense her, it's uses were done with.

Naruko, who had been trying to get in the entire time, finally cracked a portal open, running through and quickly picked her up, bringing her into the base she had created.

*Later*

"Well Iris it seems that in my attempts at saving you, while working, had some extreme effects. You can see into the past, at any moment in time with a mere thought. There was also another thing, your scar held this." Naruko showed Iris a jar, holding a black sludge, which held a large amount of malice inside it.

"It seems to be a soul, or a piece of it."

Iris held her head again, the images flowing through speeding up again in attempt to show the event that lead to the soul shard's insertion.

Naruko watched as Iris seemed to blank out, for a moment, before she explained what happened.

"Well then... the shard seems to hold quite a bit of energy, and its link to you means it was holding a way to control your powers. It might take a while but I might be able to fashion something that could help balance you out enough for you to not have problems with it anymore." Naruko explained

Iris nodded, and got slightly scared at the strange smile that suddenly plastered itself on her saviour's face.

"Science time!" Naruko cried loudly, running into another room, leaving Iris alone in her bed.

*Later-er*

Iris was sweat-dropping at the door Naruko ran through as she heard multiple manic laughs, explosions and one "It's alive!" before She ran back into the room with a familiar jar.

This time it contained a miniature girl with pale skin, a pair of Taken Watcher wings and dark brown hair. She appeared to be sleeping.

Naruko opened the jar and placed it on the table next to Iris' bed. The Mini-girl started to wake up, revealing innocent ruby coloured eyes.

She jumped, reaching for the rim of the jar and pulled herself out, accidently falling off and rolling a little bit over the table.

"Ow..." The girl mumbled quietly, rubbing her head slightly before her wings started flapping and she was lifted off the ground.

"W-where am I?" She said to herself, looking around. She took note of Iris and gasped.

"O-oh I'm sorry miss, a-am I in the way?" She said, gliding behind the jar in attempts of hiding.

Iris just shook her head, and beckoned the tiny thing over.

The fairy sized female accepted, and landed on the hand platform.

"What is your name?" Iris asked, her eyes closed still.

"U-uhh, Harleen. Harleen Riddle." Harleen said quietly.

Naruko just watched quietly from the corner of the room.

'Why must everything be cute!' She thought, slightly annoyed. She was happy that the bond between the two was happening so easily, though.

"Anyway, you should probably head back home now, I replaced the wards around your home with some of my own, they act like the previous ones so that Dumbledore guy shouldn't be a problem." Naruko said.

*Back at number 4 Privet Drive*

Iris went through the portal Naruko opened for her, quickly mopping up the blood trail leading to the garden.

Afterwards she returned to the cupboard under the stairs, hoping that Vernon would have thought her beating was in his drunken dreams.

Hours later she had dosed off with Harleen digging through her coat sleeves for something to eat, which she found in a biscuit almost the size of her body, police sirens brought her out from her sleep.

'Why are there Sirens?' she thought to herself, her new magical sight giving her a rather surprising reply.

Her Aunt Petunia had woken up in the middle of the night, eyes full of tears, and quickly called the police on her husband for her abuse, before pulling herself into a corner, crying to herself about how sorry she was.

It was at that moment the police found her, and questioned her gently about the happenings of the house.

And while she got the memories back full force due to her new ability, her Uncle going straight to jail was worth it.

In the morning, Iris was going home with an also questioned Petunia, who hadn't let go of her the entire car ride back.

When they got back, Petunia instantly went into Dudley's room, with Iris following.

Inside they found a tearful girl in the place of Dudley.

Her name was Daisy. Daisy Dursley.

End...

So you guys get to see the special power that Iris can harness, this will lead to one plot point later on in the story, when her Hogwarts day's end, but might be looked in on and hinted via certain things.

Let's just say... she has quite the Insight of the world, wouldn't you say?

Anyway, just so you know, all four children (Tsunami, Iris, Ranma and Issei) are six years old, so... yeah.

Daisy Dursley? That was Dudley; Dumbledore is a manipulative goatface in this fic too...

Anyway, back to Orbit, you spoon trucks.

Cya.
