"Really Elijah?" Iris asked as they strolled through the large gardens her arm was linked through his
"Honest truth" the dark haired man chuckled
"Tell me more please" she looked at him with her emerald orbs boring into his oak brown ones, Elijah tusked and gestured for Iris to sit down on the stone bench, she hitched her skirts up slightly making it easier for her
"I do not think Nicklaus would appreciate me informing you of all the blood and gore, and frankly neither would I" she pouted at him and crossed her arms in front of her chest looking disappointed, he sighed and gently held on to her chin
"Iris, I cannot-"
"Just indulge me this once" she said batting her lashes making him sigh again "Nicklaus does not need to know"
She was confused when there was an amused smile coming across his face, she gasped when she felt strong arms wrap around her small waist
"Really sweetheart, you think you can keep something from me?" she heard a accented voice like hers into her ear
"Nicklaus" she whined and attempted to wiggle out of his hand "Elijah tell your brother he is not acting at all like a gentle man"
Elijah chuckled and stood up "Sorry my sweet girl, but when my brother was ever a gentleman?" she giggled at this as Nicklaus scoffed
"Good point" she smirked "I am bored though"
"Hmm I know a way that you can avoid that" Nicklaus purred into her ear
"No" Iris scoffed he chuckled and pressed a tender kiss on to her cheek "Elijah he is being a cad"
"Honestly you two are like children" Elijah watched them amused a smirk lit up on his face
"How about we play catch?"
Iris eyes widened "What? I-"
"We'll give you a head start love" Nicklaus released her gently pushing her ahead of him. "You're being serious?" she asked turning around facing the brothers' identical smirks on their faces
"We'll count to a thousand" Elijah announced
"Fine" she huffed, and picked up her skirts
"You better hurry love" Nicklaus smirked and tucked in one of her raven stray curls. A smile worked its way across her face
"Fine" she grinned and picked up her skirts and took off leaving behind a pair of amused originals.
Iris ran through the woods the scene changed it grew darker, her beautiful dress morphed into modern day clothes
"THIS WAY" a voice screamed "GET THEM"
"We're done for" Ron cried out they all stopped at a clearing being surrounded, Iris was panting feeling fear shoot through her, Hermonie turned around and pointed her wand at a sweaty Iris
"What- ARGH" she shrieked as a red light hit her in the face slamming her down into the dirt, she clutched her face it was stinging beyond belief , Iris could hear rapid footsteps approaching her
Iris gasped shooting awake, she rubbed her hands across her flushed face and looked over at the time, and it was quarter to six. She decided to get out of bed and start to get ready for the day. Iris strolled into the bathroom and washed her face and freshened up she sighed and stretched her arms above her head.
Iris slipped on some underwear and looked through her closet wondering what to wear to school for the day, she pulled out an emerald green buttoned up dress pulling on a pair of tights.
She looped the thin belt around her waist and brushed her hair, deciding to leave it out clipping some of it up. Her bangs framed her face and then looked around finding her ankle boots under her bed. She put them on and grabbed her messenger bag and jacket.
Iris skipped down the stairs not recalling any of her dreams so was in lighter mood.
She looked through her cupboards and found a box of pop tarts and some porridge. She warmed the milk up and made some tea at the same time, Iris licked her lips as she bit into the treat and then proceeded to make her breakfast.
She sat down on a bar stool and scoffed her food down since she was rather hungry, it was coming near the near end of October and from what Caroline had told her from the last couple of days the high school would be ha having a party, she was tempted to turn the offer down since it was the anniversary of her parents deaths.
She finished up her breakfast and grabbed bag which was full of school books and her keys, she shut the door firmly behind her and saw Elena was also getting out of her house
"Elena?" Iris called smiling at the brunette
"Hey Iris" she smiled seeing the petite raven head
"How was the party?" she asked
Elena sighed "Honestly? You don't want to know" she said as she walked down the driveway, whilst Iris also made her way to her car
"Why? What happened?" she asked chucking her bag into the back seat of her car
"Damon happened" Elena spat out, causing Iris to look at her wide eye
"What did he do?" she asked biting her plump bottom lip
"Stefan got him in hand; Damon attacked Caroline and now is currently locked up in the cellar of their house"
Iris gasped at that "Serious?"
"Yeah, he was too dangerous you know being responsible for those so called 'animal attacks' I'll see you at school Iris, I have to go pick up Bonnie" Iris nodded and watched her driveway.
She frowned lightly wondering if that crow was sent by Damon and was it wise to lock up an obviously volatile vampire up?, because if he escaped the town would be a blood bath.
Iris sighed and ran her hand through her hair and climbed into her car, she buckled herself in and revved he engine and the car roared to life she steadily pulled out of her driveway.
"Iris" Stefan smiled seeing her
"Hi, I heard about the party is he angry?" she asked piling some of her textbooks into her locker
"Beyond belief, but he does deserve it" Stefan shrugged as they walked with each other to their first which was history.
She entered the room and saw Alaric there at the front by his desk
"Iris, nice to see you again" he smiled at the teen who grinned back
"You to Mr Saltzman" she made her way towards her seat where Caroline, Elena, Bonnie and Stefan were watching her "what?" she asked confused
"How do you know the history teacher?" Bonnie asked, as she sat down next to her
"Are you sleeping with him?" Caroline asked causing Iris to blush and scoff loudly
"What?" She balked, whilst Elena sent a glare towards the blond "No I'm not, ew" she shrieked making Stefan slam his hand over her mouth so they wouldn't attract attention
"Relax" he murmured into her ear, she nodded and he removed his hand
"That's disgusting" she shuddered "He's old enough to be my dad"
"Older men aren't all that bad" Caroline said casually causing the quartet of friends to look at her odd "what?" she rolled her eyes
"I met Mr Saltzman at the grill, when you guys were at the party" she informed her.
"Ok class" Alaric called the group of teens to attention "let's begin shall we"
"Now that was a lesson I actually learned something" Elena commented as they walked through the halls
"He knows he's stuff" Iris nodded "particular about the founding family era"
"Really?" Stefan asked, there was something with Alaric Saltzman he thought
"Yep, he told me all about them at the grill, I reckon he could do a talk for the council since he archived some of their history"
"That's actually a good idea" Bonnie muttered, Iris grinned and bid them goodbye as she headed off to Algebra with Caroline on her heels.
It was lunch time now and the group had gathered, around there usual table
"So are you looking forward to the Halloween party?" Elena asked as Iris sipped her drink
"Hmm, I might not come" she shrugged her shoulders
"What?" Caroline asked horrified
"What?" iris asked confused making Bonnie roll her eyes
"You have to come, it's the first official party that the school is having" Bonnie said
Iris hummed and looked down picking at her sandwich
"Why don't you want to go?" Elena asked concern emitting from her, Stefan looked at her interested as well come to think of it whenever the girls had discussed costumes Iris went quiet
"It's the date of my parent's death" she said aloud making them grow quiet
Elena placed her arm around her shoulders
"Oh Iris" she muttered toying with girl's hair strand "I'm sorry if you don't want to go then it's completely understandable"
Iris gave her a small smile, both Bonnie and Caroline nodded along but Stefan frowned
"It gives you more ammo to go" he murmured, making Iris look at him confused
"What?" Iris said
"Well I doubt your parents want you to wallow in grief" Stefan said "You should have fun"
Iris chewed her bottom lip a smile came across her face
"Sure, I think it would be fun"
"It won't suck" Bonnie grinned glad that the raven head was coming
"But I don't have a costume" Iris stated frowned, Caroline squealed making Iris jump since she was next to the blond
"Oh, leave that to me" she jumped up clapping "you're going to be utterly adorable" and with that she flounced away
"Why do I all of a sudden feel frightened?" Iris asked to no one in particular making the others laugh.
"You should be" Elena chuckled "come around to my place Friday night we're all getting ready there, and if you don't show up I'll drag you out"
Iris cocked an eyebrow
"Stefan, you are aware that you're girlfriend has violent tendencies?" she drawled making Elena lightly punch her arm in mock offence
Stefan chuckled and nodded "I am aware of that"
Iris shook her head and stood up "I'll see you later"
"Where are you going?" Stephan called to her retreating figure but she merely waved him off.
Iris looked around so this was the smokers' area she thought, she spotted Tyler Lockwood and Matt Donavan, she strode towards them
"Matt?" she said he turned around and faced her
"Iris" Tyler smirked looking her up and down, making the petite girl frown she folded her arms across her chest seeing him looking at her bust
Matt saw this and glared at his friend; he grabbed her dainty wrist and tugged her out of the area
"Iris, what are you doing here?" he asked "you shouldn't be here; Tyler isn't the only ass hole around here"
Iris stifled laughter and it warmed her heart slightly knowing that he cared for her
"I was wondering have you seen Jeremy?" she asked about the younger Gilbert since she hadn't heard from him for a few days
"No, why would I?" Matt asked confused
Iris rolled her eyes "Beside the idea that he's in love with your sister?"
Matt frowned, she sighed "sorry, it's just that I'm worried about him you know, he's not in a good place"
He nodded and patted her shoulder just then the bell rang he walked her to class
"Speaking of your sister how is she?"
"Well she seems ok" Matt shrugged "kind of out of it though"
Iris frowned at that knowing that Damon was the one that attacked her in the first place she wondered if the girl remembered anything but then thought that Stefan probably had dealt with Vicki hopefully, since she knew if the council members knew that vampires were back in town it would be chaos.
Iris had finally arrived home and dumped her bag on her desk, she frowned when she saw the crow on her porch
"Go away Damon" she waved him off, knowing that the vampire was responsible for this "You've acted like a total dick for the last couple of weeks" she muttered and shut the door behind her locking it.
She spent the evening doing her work and surfed the net when it was nearing ten in the night she decided to head to bed. Iris stripped out of clothes and pulled on a pair of loose shorts and a thin shirt and climbed into bed.
