Unknown Location

Iris awoke with a start.

"That fucking bastard broke my neck" Iris yelled. "What the fuck is wrong with him, oh he is so going to pay for this" Iris looked around then, "Wait, where the hell am I" she asked.

"You could call this place my home" a voice said.

'Sure, there's a creepy voice with not a soul around her, that's not odd at all.' Iris thinks to herself.

"You may think it is odd but there is a reason I have brought you here" the voice told her.

Iris looks around again, still no one, "Okay. Can I ask what you mean by you brought me here? I clearly remember that dick snapping my neck. I'm pretty sure that means I'm dead" Iris says aloud.

A man suddenly appears before her, Iris thinks it's a man at least, he looks to be made of shadows.

"I brought you here because it was time we met. Things will begin happening and you may be the only one who can protect those you love." Shadow man told her.

"How does me being here, or well dead, help me with this" Iris asks.

Shadow man floats around her, almost like he's inspecting her, "You don't know what you are do you" he asks Iris.

Iris is really confused now, "I know I'm a witch who is displaced from her original universe. Honestly, I'm not that mad about it." she tells him.

The shadow man laughs, "Have you ever heard of the Peverell brothers, they are ancestors of yours"

Iris shakes her head at that, "Dumbledore made sure I knew very little about my family, Siri has been trying to teach me but even he doesn't know everything" Iris says.

"Your ancestors were men who supposedly tricked death into giving them three items, what most people don't realize is that the story is false but the title the descendants of the correct branch of the family hold is theirs regardless of if they collect said items." Shadow man tell Iris.

"So does that mean I'm part of the correct branch? I don't know what the items are but if you're talking to me I assume that means I am." Iris asks.

Shadow man nods to her, "You actually have one item of mine, the others cause death but your item allows you to hide from death"

Iris's jaw drops, "You said I have an item of yours, does that mean you're death?" Iris asks.

"You are a very smart girl, I guess that is a good thing considering the title you now hold" Death tells her.

"And what title is that" Iris asks apprehensively.

Death smiles at Iris, "You're my mistress of course, the Mistress of Death"

Iris plops down on the ground, "Shit"

Death gives a throaty laugh, "I assure you it does have its advantages, take now for instance" Death sits next to Iris, "You can't permanently die"

Iris stares at Death, "So right now I'm not actually dead? What am I doing, napping?" she asks.

"You're in a state of stasis. Your body is healing from what that vampire did and when it heals you will be as you were" Death explains.

"What about Siri and Remy, I don't want them to leave me. Caroline either! What if I don't want to live forever" Iris starts freaking out.

"Now see that is where you have a couple of options" Death stands and begins to walk, Iris joins him, "When you went through my veil with those two men, I couldn't bring you to me so I sent you to a world that would give you options. And you have a couple that will be arriving soon"

Iris is really confused as to what Death is trying to say, "What options" Iris asks.

Death begins to tell her of the story of the original vampires, and the one who isn't just a vampire. That is where her main option comes in, if the hybrid can break his curse, then Remus could be free of his.

Iris stares at death, "I thought that a witch lost their power when they turned though. I don't think either Remus or Sirius would want that"

Death replies, "That is for the wiccans of this world. You three are not of this world and therefore those rules don't apply." Death smiles at Iris, "Also I can do what I want, and I decided that's how it would be"

Iris sits there for a long time, thinking over what Death had told her. Maybe it would be ok but she wouldn't do it until these originals came to town. If they were the first vampires, she would trust them over anyone else to do the job right. Plus she needs the hybrid for Remy.

Iris had to have been in this place with Death for hours, of course the way it was explained, it hadn't been that long for her family.

Death had let her have time to think things over, problem was, he had an issue that needed handled from her old universe. He decided it was time to bring it up.

"I have two people who need somewhere to escape to. The war continued after you left but the light side one. Dumbledore is luckily rotting in a hot location, as he should be. But there are two, they can't be separated and that was what happened, one was killed and the other gave up" Death explains to Iris.

Iris looked up at Death, "Who are they"

Death showed Iris an image of who needed her help. Iris looked thoughtful.

"I figured that since they were like older brothers to you then, maybe we could have them come to 'visit' and never leave" Death tells her.

"We do have a spare bedroom, or they might like the attic since it's huge" Iris tells herself, "Honestly Siri and Remy would love to have them too"

Death waits for her to answer him.

"Send them to me. They always looked out for me so I want to help them anyway I can" Iris tells him.

"I will have them arrive shortly after you return" Death tells her. "I think it's time for you to head back now, your body is healed and they are waiting. If you need me at anytime squeeze this" Death hands her a bracelet with a black stone.

"Thank you for this, thank you for everything" Iris tells Death, "I'm glad that we got a new start when we went through the veil"

"Anything for my mistress" Death says, waving and opening a portal for her. "Just walk through and you will be back in your body. They are waiting"

Iris looks to Death one more time and then walks forward through the portal.

Iris opens her eyes to Siri, Remy and Dobby all staring down at her. Sitting up she pops her neck and then looks to both of her uncles, "Damon is a dead vampire walking".
