Iris POV
Darkness loomed around me as I wallowed in pain.
Soon, the light came and I was healed. I was healed of all deformities in my body. I looked around again and the place was as white as snow and as beautiful as the garden of roses. It was all calm and at the entrance, it felt like there was another life down there. I looked down at my clothes and it was all different.
I was cladded in an all-white gown. It was so white and I wasn't wearing any shoes either. I was barefooted. Stepping on the floor alone felt like heaven. Just as white as cotton. So fluffy.
Just then I heard a voice.
A very loud one, saying:
"Come in."
I looked around and the voice never stopped.
I went slowly into the door and brightness shone around me. The loud voices like people singing jolted me out of my thoughts. Where was I? And why are people singing? Am I in heaven? Am I? I continued walking in deeper and deeper till I saw there girls at the front of another entrance. They were dressed in all white and crowns were OK their heads with their hair as white as snow.
I stared at them and they gestured to me to come forward.
"Come."
I didn't hesitate. I followed immediately.
Entering the door was another door. Why are there so many doors? I didn't grow impatient but in fact, I was patient and curious enough to know what was happening. I had died because I was poisoned. I was poisoned by the people I considered family. My boyfriend and my best friend.
I wasn't crying nor was I feeling bad but the painful scenario was still there. It was still in my heart.
When we got to the door. It was pulled open and everything was bright. Like, very bright and as white as snow. I turned around to look for the three girls but they were not there anymore.
"Do not fear, come in."
I did as I was told and the door was shut behind me so loud that my soul almost left my body. My body?
Oh, I forgot that I was dead.
I was poisoned.
"Welcome, Iris."
The voice roared in my ears and I shifted back with full force. Just then, the wind began to blow and then, a woman appeared. The first thing I noticed was her hair. Her full, white hair and her glowing skin. Her white lashes, her golden robe. She is very most prettiest woman I have ever seen.
She had on a beautiful smile.
In her hand was a trident with three crowns on each of the es. It looked very powerful.
Who was she?
"You look like you have been wallowing in regrets, beloved but you are here now and everything will be to your advantage."
How did she know my name? Who is she?
"Mother of all wolves." She answered and immediately, I bowed.
She is the moon goddess.
The moon goddess. It was as if she was reading my mind and everything became so familiar to me. I felt calm and okay inside of me.
"Your Highness," I said bowing.
"You may raise your head. You are the head, Iris. Don't ever forget that. I am going to be giving you two options. It's your choice to pick. Do you want me to avenge your death and you shall live peacefully in the other realm or do you want me to send you back to earth and give you the power to right all wrongs and to avenge your death?"
I thought about it carefully.
If she avenged my death for me, that means I will rest in her glory. No danger or evil will come to me and then I will forever be grateful. But what about my parents' death? Who would avenge me? Their spirit would not be at rest if I do nothing. I wasn't born a coward. I was born in victory. I was born to conquer.
Going back to earth also means I will have the power to fight all evil. I will have the power to right all wrongs. I will be able to find out the cause of my parent's death. But what about living a comfortable life? Going back to earth also means going back to being poor to suffer.
I sighed. I will choose the second. I need to correct all wrongs. My parents. Who knows if I would be able to stop my parents from death? I shut my eyes and breathed heavily. I raised my head just to see the moon goddess gone.
I widened my eyes. Was I too slow to give her my answer? Was that the reason why she left me?
"Your Highness!." I called and immediately she appeared before me in her golden crown and robe.
She put on that smile as the comforter she was.
Her smile alone could clear your worries and everything.
"Beloved, you called for me." She said looking at me.
"Yes, your highness."
"Speak." She gestured.
"I am willing to go back to earth."
She got up on her feet instantly as I said so. The smile on her face disappeared and fear bobbed in my heart. Have I said something wrong? The wind started blowing and before I could mutter a word, everything stopped.
She was back on her golden throne.
"May I know your reasons, beloved?"
"I want to avenge my death and not only that, I want to correct all wrongs doings. I want to know the cause of my parent's death. I won't be able to rest knowing the person who took their life is living happily without paying for his sins. And the two of them? They betrayed me and I will avenge them. Regardless of going back to the poor person I was, I don't mind. As long as I get to make my parents happy and make sure that all evil ones are put in their place. These are my reasons, your highness."
There was silence.
She didn't say anything.
I shut my eyes waiting for her.
She knows the best for me.
She is the next after the heavens.
"I hear you, beloved. All your wishes have been granted but deeply in your heart, I see the person who cares about you and that is the man you saw last before your spirit directed you here."
I tried remembering.
Drake.
He was the last person.
"Yes. Your Highness. I want him to be my mate if I should go back to earth."
"It has been granted the moment you stepped your feet in here. The mate bond has been created. But-"
I bowed immediately.
"I have added to your mission on earth. You have three missions now. The first is yours, which is to avenge your death"
"Yes, your highness."
"The second one. On Earth, there are three women with three different powers. They are powerful but evil. They are after one of my beloved and your mission is to find out their weaknesses and use them against them. Save the girl and automatically, her spirit will return to us here. They have overused the opportunity given to them."
"Yes, your highness," I answered.
"The third, in your next life on earth, you have to save your guardian. She is supposed to be at her destined place but her evil grandmother kept pulling her back, dragging her time backwards. You have to save her and it is until you save her, you will be able to carry out your second mission. And note this, she will come in a different form. She might be poor, rich, or even a pauper. Never look down on her. She is the one the heavens had assigned to you to help you with your newly acquired missions. She is the one to direct you on how to find the three powerful women."
"Yes, your highness."
"And for your bravery, courage, your well-determined spirit, your life will change for the better. I will bless your parents, you will no longer have to suffer again, you are already powerful. Never use your powers for evil because the day you plan to use them for evil purposes, it will turn against you." She explained and a sword appeared in my hand.
"Call upon it when you need to defend yourself. And your name? You will now be called Iris Beloved Williams."
"Iris Beloved Williams," I repeated.
She appeared in my front and placed her palm on my face.
PRESENT TIME ~Two years back
I felt liquid splashed on my face and I jumped out of the deep slumber and wiped my face and muttered;
"Iris Beloved Williams."
I repeated wiping my face. I looked around and couldn't believe my eyes.
Where am I? Where is this place?
This place looks like my room but it is in a better version. It is in a modern version. Some things look different but that is just the way it is. There is no wooden cabinet or wooden table. I don't even have a mirror then.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
I heard a voice. The voice that reminded me of the pain I had gone through before. I raised my head just to see her. I frowned.
I threw her a death glare.
"What are you doing here, Halley?"
How did she even get into my room?

Iris POVRule number one, don't let your enemies know your next move.Confuse them, get closer to them, and ruin them.Rule number two, don't act like you know their secrets, smile with them, make them feel comfortable, and kill them with the spirit in you."What?" She asked pretending as if she doesn't know what she is doing. She splashed water on my face and dated my boyfriend behind my back. Like who the fuck does that? How can she act like she doesn't know?"Don't let her know anything. Pretend as if you are still good friends.." I heard in my head. I looked around to see who talked but I found no one.As I was about to talk, another voice came into my head."Shh...you are not about to expose our secret. She can't know you know. Our life will be in danger."Our life?Who the hell is talking? And why am I hearing the voice in my head?"Get her out of here and I will introduce myself to you." I heard again. I sighed. Fine!I turned to her.What does she want anyway?"What are you do
When you go left and there is no way, you turn right and when you turn right, and there is still no way, you go back.But I can't give up. I need to understand all of these processes. Everything seems so new to me and I find it hard to understand. I don't even know I own a cell phone. I mean then, we cannot even afford the small one not to talk of this big one in my hand."My love," Desmond called.Who is he calling his love?I folded my arms but then I remembered that I have to still act normal. I need to act normal to make everything look normal. I was thankful that I was given a second chance to make everything right.Just then he stretched forth his hand to touch me and I shifted back.His face fell."What?""Nothing," I said, pulling a normal face."Then why are you running away from my touch?" He narrowed."Don't I have the right to? I don't just feel like it." I muttered and the middle-aged man who brought me to school approached me. He handed me a cell phone."Ma'am. You have
Me.He wants me.I gazed at his reflection in the mirror. He was standing with his hands in his pocket. I don't know but I am interested in those tattooed arms. I want him to trail those hands and explore my body. My stomach felt those butterflies again.I suddenly felt something dripping in my panties and I clenched my thighs. What the fuck? I am wet. Why do I get wet merely looking at his body?His hair was deep black.He dressed in this bad-boy style that was enough to drive girls insane. His tie hanging loosely on his neck his white shirt not tucked in. Gosh!!I salivated and I saw his eyes raking down my body. His eyes landed on my chest and I began to wonder what he was staring at. Suddenly, the moans grew louder and I felt embarrassed in this kind of situation. The tension between us grew."Ohh...fuck me. Fuck this pussy." The voice said loudly and that was it.I couldn't take it anymore. Not anymore. I grabbed my bag and turned to leave but then he gripped my wrist and turned
A rumour is a statement or claim that spreads from mouth to mouth. Sometimes, it is false, and another time, it turns out to be true. To be the most real thing.I scoffed at his messagesDrake Hemsford was known to be an addict to drugs.Yeah.I know it sounds surprising but I don't know how true it was. So many dark secrets around him and for now, I am not ready to know them. I am not ready to be part of his life but why did I even tell the moon goddess to create the mate bond between us? Why? Why do I have to do that?Why?I nodded my head negatively and went straight to the foyer. I didn't see my mother or father around. Just then a lady walked up to me. She was dressed in a uniform."Ma'am.""I have prepared your lunch."I smiled. "Oh, thank you," I muttered.I looked around. "Where is my mother?" I asked."She went to the office and she will be back later by eight in the night."I pulled a nervous smile. What? Office? Then, my mom doesn't even have a shop or a job. Once again, I
*After dinner, they both went to bed and I went up to my room to dress up. I looked out for a light purple velvet crop top and black, baggy trousers to make my butt comfortable. I don't want guys coming for me. I don't like my hair down. I like it up in a ponytail. I styled the ponytail and cleaned my face. I noticed I have a makeup kit. Woah! I remember Halley had one of these but this even looks more classy and beautiful than hers then. I applied the concealer and mascara. I did my little makeup and I was fine with it. I selected a black designer back to match it. No one can walk all over me like I am nothing. I need to prove myself. I need to make them all pay for what they have done to me. That's it. I will look classy and expensive as long as there is money. The moon goddess had done me a favour and so, I need to make use of it. Humble, fierce, stylish, Savage, truthful, and fashionable would be those words that would describe me from now on. I will act normal. I brought
Ana refused and ran out."Don't run after her. Leave her alone." I said."Oh, you." She acknowledged and sniffed gently. She raised her eyebrows and frowned at me. I know what she is about to say. About to scold me for smoking again."You did it again!" She said.I got up. "Come back here. You know I don't like you to get in trouble again. Sit down!" She frowned."No, I am not.""You are going to listen to me now. What else do you want me to do? We are just three and Ana? Do you want her to start what you are doing too? Remember this Drake, if you get into trouble I am not going to bail you out of jail. We already have enough money to build up our lives. Dad and Mom put me in care for the two of you. They won't be happy seeing us like this." She said with tears rolling out of her eyes.Okay, this is getting emotional. I can't just allow her to cry because of me. I have been trying to stop my addiction but I can't just stop it. Whoever killed my parents and my little brother, Timothy.
Get your friend close and your enemies closer.Desmond Gilbert is nothing but my enemy now. He has become just a pawn in my game. I will use him, dump him, ruin him, destroy him, and kill him with my bare hands just like the way he did to me. He brought this upon himself. He should have thought twice before choosing Halley over me.I am more beautiful than Halley.I have got the thick, curvy body that every guy wants. My face is perfectly sculpted by my creator. Halley can't even stay up to my level. I am going to kick their asses and mess with their brains till I finally have the real plan of taking them both.I will destroy them and their stupid, little relationship.I swear to the moon goddess.A soft heart won't solve the problem but a heart of stone will give them all a headache. They stepped on the wrong toe and they will be ruined. I will deal with them with everything I have got. With all the powers in me.I gazed at his outfit and rolled my eyes.Why did I even choose him in
"I have had enough, Desmond. You don't love me you are only playing with my feelings." I suddenly said, bursting into tears. I couldn't control the tears. It was fake but remembering what he had done to me in my past life, it brought tears to my eyes."Fine! Fine!" He yelled and that made me flinch but I don't fucking care. I don't give a shit."I feel like you are doing this on purpose." He voiced out.I wiped my tears and smiled."So I am right?" I asked him."What?""You heard me, Desmond. You are cheating. Just don't let me find out who the girl is because when I eventually find out, you will be sorry." I told him and his face fell in shock."I- I am not cheating on you and you know it. You fucking know it.""I thought I would make this night a fun, memorable one by running my tongue around your cock tonight to give you the best orgasm of your life but," I smiled and looked him in the eye."You ruined your chances with me."I walked away but before I get into my car, he knelt in
