2) Meet IRIS

"No mom dad....... ugh... stop. " Iris was thrashing her head with eyes closed. "Don't leave me" she screamed as she watched them turning into dust and vanishing from her sight. NOOO!!!! She sat up breathing heavily, her face and body damp from cold sweat. Taking deep breaths she calmed down. Phew... another bad dream. Seeing that it was just 4 a.m. in the morning she decided to find some information from the books she collected about magic.

Ever since Iris was young she found her parents somewhat strange. Sometimes she'll see sudden flashes of light inside their house or her father levitating and floating in the air while reading newspaper. Oh! there was one time that she remembers clearly, she was playing with her father when he suddenly pointed a stick towards a small pot of plant and it grew into a huge towering tree in a second. Both Iris and her father watched it in shock when suddenly he jumped in front of the tree facing his back towards it and started trying to divert her attention from it. Iris seeing the wonderful magic trick was shocked and excited whereas her dear father oh my gosh he looked like he's committed some huge crime and was trying to hide it behind his back but who'll tell him "Dear father aren't you very tiny in front of this tree which seems to be huge enough that it's not even clearly visible passing through the sky". "What do you think you are doing Martin" I heard my mother's voice and saw her standing at the entrance of the garden? "Oh Ho.. Honey... look it's not what you think, look this tree just appeared on its own.....Yeah it just appeared suddenly...." stuttered my father explaining to my mom who seems to be wanting to teach a lesson to him.

She dragged him towards the kitchen "What are you doing and how are you going to explain this stunt that you pulled just now to Iris". Well Lucia you see I was just trying to play with her since she can't go outside right now because her powers are unstable right now but I guess it's been a long time since I used my magic so it seems I lost control of it for a second. Lucia looked at him for a second ,sigh "You know we can't let anyone know about us right, if they catch even a whiff of our magic they'll come after us." Martin's imaginary tail dropped down "Sorry honey I'll be more careful from now on". Alright go on ahead she said patting his head. Just as they turned around to go they saw Iris squatting down near the door trying to peep inside the kitchen

O_o " Hehe mommy what are you and dad talking about ". Nothing sweetheart do you want to play something else, said my dad hastily picking me up and vanishing from my mother's sight. Dad what were you talking about and how did the tree grow so.......

Tring!!!!!!! I jolted awake from my thoughts and saw it was already 6 in the morning. I kept the books back and went to get ready to start my day. I took bath and had breakfast then went to the library for work. Oh did I tell you I work as a librarian. It's my favourite place filled with books where I can read about all sorts of amazing stories and incidents.

Jingle!! Welcome to....*\O/* I stared agape at the woman before me who seemed like the embodiment of winter fairy. Dressed in white she was standing there looking so beautiful even without doing anything. Her long white silky hair draped on her shoulder and her blue eyes shimmering like a lake on a bright sunny winter morning.

Chuckle* You can close your mouth dear. My face turned red from being caught staring at her. "You've grown into a lovely girl Iris", she said. I blushed again wait.... (how did she know my name) . That's because Lucia and Martin told me about you. (hmm? how does she know mom and dad). Well you see Lucia was my best friend so I am sought of.....hmmm your God mother, she said as if reading my mind. "My GOD MOTHER " I looked at her incredulously. Uh huh 😊 Hello there Iris nice to meet you after so many years I'm Udonna. I was just gonna answer her when the space around me vibrated and I found myself in am unfamiliar place.
