I wasn't so good at drawing, painting, or any kind of art for that matter, but, luckily I could finish the painting. Iris stood up and stretched her arms and legs from the hours of being a statue. And all her pet ran inside. It was really weird why all of her pets stood really still for the past two hours.

"That was long!" she stated as she walks towards me with a happy grin."Now, let me see what you did here." She grabbed the canvas and her eyes wided, sweat dropped from her face. I already knew she didn't like it.

"Sorry, I'm not so good at drawing, forgive me!" I apologized. I waited for a reply and she giggled softly.

"Yeah, your not good at all..." she giggled. Freakin' hell I knew it! "Your Amazing! You're an artist!! a genius!!" I was surprised at her sudden outburst of complements.

"W-what?? amazing?" I blurted.

"Yeah! I mean, look at the detail! it's so real! and I looked at you paint, you were like wielding a sword, your hand went left, then right swiftly. I actually thought it would look a bit horrid but it was dazzling!!" she complemented. I was embarrassed a little.

"Thanks."

"That's actually no surprising to me, since, your the guy who had the my seal and-" Then she suddenly stopped. There was a bit awkwardness when both of us went quiet, but she quickly pushed the tranquility aside and invited me to eat at her house for dinner, but I declined. I had a bit of stuff to do at home. What did she actually meant by I have her seal? This is I getting weird. Seal as in, Cover seal? the seal in the zoo?!

"Aw. that's too bad. Well, just let me give you something." Iris insisted and leaded me back up to her room. I walked up with her up the stairs, noticing that there were a lot of old letters. Iris noticed me staring at the old papers that was framed and was hung on the wall.

"Those photos and letters are from some of my old friends." She stated. I was that intrigued me for a moment.

"Not to pry, but, where are they now?" I asked. I'm just really interested in her.................life! her life!

"Well.....Them?" Her face suddenly turned pale and I could hear her taking long deep breaths.

"A-are you alright?" I'm starting to get worried.

"They died....." She whispered softly. The word gave a sudden strike of fear in me.

"Oh...I...I'm sorry...." I said, struggling to say something.

She smiled, looking unaffected to the concept that was brought up just now.

"I-I'm sorry.."

She giggled.

"That's alright! come on! I want to give you someting." She pulled on my hand and led me to her room. I noticed that she took a small bag under the realistic Fairy figures.

Iris smiled and went close to me, giving me that bag. For a second, I thought the bag was really light, but the time I carried it....It was heavier than a sack of Rice! Such a small bag, yet, was even extremely heavy!

I tried to carry it..........but no use.

"A-are you alright? Can I help you with that?" She asked. I had no guts to ask a girl for help. I actually didn't want a girl to see me being weak. If she could carry this with ease. I'll manage! I carried the bag with everything I've got!!............but failed. She laughed and grabbed it.

I was speechless in embarrassment.

Both of us silently walked down the stairs, carrying the bag that I know nothing of what's inside.

When I was in her door step. She let me handle the bag. I got a bit frustrated, questions spiraling on my mind. What if I can't carry this? What if I stay here because I can't carry this? I never thought it throught. I guess I'll just wing it like always.

Iris giggled.

"Bye~" She said as she waves her hand happily. She closed the door and left me in front. I was expecting a heavy bag, so I prepared my self to carry it. I spit on my hand and rubbed them together........I know, gross, but it helps. I grabbed the bag and lift it up! Apparently, The bag suddenly felt extremely light! making me to fall on the ground.

"I thought this thing's heavy....Oh well! I can't complain if it's light now ain't it." I said to myself as I carried it and walked back home.

As I was walking, I noticed that it was already dark. I mean Really dark, as in midnight. I never noticed I walked that far. It just felt like minutes. Then suddenly three weird looking things blocked my way.

The two in the sides looked like two people, but They were purple and they had large horns. While in the middle was a little girl that had dark wings and had blood red eyes.

Is this even possible?? This is definitely super natural. I thought to myself as I froze in fear. I couldn't make a move. Intimidating as they look, I still couldn't imagine what they'll do to me if I made my move.

"W-what do you want??" Was the only sentence I could only utter in those few seconds.

They crossed looks and chuckled.

"We want that bag." The one at the left said. I knew I couldn't give it to them, this was from Iris, I never even knew what was inside. I admit I'm much of a coward, I was shaken and my thoughts were disordered. I couldn't think of anyway to run or escape from this. I took a few steps back and hugged the bag on my chest. Is this really bag worthy. The two creatures walked closer and closer to me, but I couldn't do anything. I need to move. I need to protect myself.

The second both got closer the bag got heavy, but I was still able to carry it. So I swung it and hit them harshly. After they were down cold on the floor, the bad got light again. This bag is awesome!

The little girl that looked like a demon with her blood-red eyes and dark wide wings tsked and flew upwards. I stared at her fly up and she suddenly dove straight down with incredible speed. I knew I couldn't do anything at this matter. I closed my eyes and prepared myself to die. But then it became silent all of a sudden. I opened my eyes and I saw her, he looked like she was hit in the face real hard.

"How dare you!" She stated, looking behind me. I turned around and I saw Iris. Her hair was oddly color white, eyes bright purple and her arms had this weird markings. I was dumbfounded to see her, hair swaying, clothes different and she was covered with blue flames. Her hand looked burned, but it looks to her that it doesn't bother her. Then I thought to myself. I'm here thinking about these thing, while I set aside the fact that Iris was really hiding something from me. So, all those weird happenings in school, in her house and now!

"I-Iris??" I muttered in surprised. I'm just mind boggled. I'm just this shut in that wasn't even noticed in school.

"Stay aside Alex!" She shouted. I ran to the side and she suddenly disappeared and reappeared of the little girl.

~No one's POV~

Iris disappeared and reappeared in front of the girl. She grabbed her on the collar and lifted her up. She flew high up, carrying the girl with her. She stared intently on the girl. Just by looking at her, you'll already see the anger of messing with Alex. Her blood was boiling inside, then the blue light that covered her became crimson red.

"Never come back here...." She whispered to the demon and threw her down high up to the ground. The demons disappeared in a ash and Iris went back down with Alex, changing back. Her hair suddenly turned normal like her ciurly and , clothes went back to out uniform and everything went back to normal.

~Alex~

I stood in awe as I witness Iris' transformation in a quick second. It was a blur, but I still saw it. She was blazing! eyes so fierce and alert.

She walked towards me as a normal person, but I couldn't stop thinking about what I saw.

"Are you alright?" She asked.

"I'm fine.....What was that?" I asked as I gesture my hand up in the clouds.

"Oh, sorry. I am...kinda....Immortal..."

"I-Immortal?!"

"Yes." She told me with a calm and melodic voice.

"but...but...when you flew up...."

"Yeah?"

"The starts disappeared when you punched her flying!"

She was surprised for a second. "Oh!" Then she smiled and giggled. "My bad. Here let me fix it." Then she looked at the sky and looked like she was tapping the sky.

"What are you doing?"

"Bringing back the stars." She kept tapping and tapping in front of her as she stares at the sky.

"What??" I turned to the sky and I saw the stars coming back, dot by dot. I was a bit of a shut in myself. So these kinds of supernatural things isn't something I could process in a day, and because of that I fainted.

Iris sighed.

→→fast forward→→

I woke up in my room and it looks completely clean! not even a thing out of place. As I adored my clean room.

"Hey! Finally awake!" said a voice that sounded like a girl's and was a bit high pitched. I looked around and there was no one in sight. Then I remembered the bag that Iris gave me......come to think of it...wasn't Ih with Iris a second ago?

"Up here!" The voice said again. I heard it and looked up, seeing a fairy?? It was the fairy I saw in Iris' room. The one that fell to the ground that time.

"What??" I said in surprised. I ran to the door and slowly turned the knob.

"Hey! Don't go out! Jeez, did seeing me make you wet your pants or something?" She asked in a lazy tone. She had silver hair, and was wearing a dress that they don't usually where. She had twin tails though. She's pretty cute. Maybe..but seriously! This is the first time I'm meeting her and and I'm already irritated to the bone!

I let out a deep breath to relax myself and jumped on the bed.

"Hey! Listen to me! My name is Alias, I was the one inside the bag." The second she told me that. It caught my full attention. I jolted up from the bed and ran to the bag. I opened it and it was empty.

"You were the only thing inside the bag?? Then why were you so freakin' heavy?!!" I shouted.

"Are you saying I'm gaining weight??" She stated a bit angrily.

"Well....that's not what I'm saying...but-"

"Look, Iris told me to be with you. I have to stay with you now. So, I'll tell you what kind of deep situation you're in now."

"Situation? You mean Iris? Oh yeah! Explain that to me! The way she....uhm...changed! The hair! Eyes! And everything else!"

She flew down to my head and hit it hard. "Calm down. That's why I'm here in the first place. That's what I'm gonna tell you so listen up!" She stated. I sat down and listened to every word she will say.
