The Girl Who Is Half-Human and Half-Demon

Chapter 7

Iris woke up to the sound of the bells ringing. 'It's the same dream over and over again.' She said, yawning. 'Hm? Miss Iris? Good morning!' Nikki said. 'Good morning Nikki.' 'The same dream?' Nikki asked. Iris nodded. 'The dream where my mother was taken and Lucifer was there to kill her. And I couldn't do anything, I'm still weak.' 'Don't say that, Miss Iris!' Said Nikki. 'You're strong! You just haven't reached your true potential yet.' 'I guess,' Iris replied. She jumped out of bed and went outside. She saw Jake on the bench in the garden. 'Jakeyyyyy! 'Iris said happily. 'Oh, Iris' Jake said. 'Stop calling me that' Iris pouted. 'Why notttttt?' 'Because it's embarrassing.' Jake answered, looking away. I'll call you that now.' Said Iris childishly. Jake groaned. 'Fine, but if anyone laughs at it, it's your fault.'Yayy, thanks Jakeyyyyy!' Said Iris with a smile. Jake blushed at her smile and smiled back. Meanwhile, with Keara and Serenity, Serenity was practicing her powers while Keara was standing in the corner wondering about something. She walked to Serenity and hugged her from behind. Serenity stopped and asked, 'Yes?' 'I thought you liked Tyler.' Serenity froze. 'How did you know that I liked him too?' 'What do you mean too?' Keara let go. 'I only wanted to fit in because I couldn't help the fact that I like girls and boys.' Serenity answered sadly. 'It's not like I could just tell the truth in front of our classmates, I was bullied, you know.' Keara hugged her and sighed, 'I know.' She kissed her cheek. Serenity smiled. 'Wanna know what's going on between Iris and Jake~?' Said Keara, snickering. 'Ooh yess~' Said Serenity, laughing. Keara pulled her hand to the garden and spied on Jake and Iris. Iris sat down beside Jake, blushing. Keara and Serenity were snickering silently. 'You okay there?' A voice called out to Iris, it was Jake. Iris nodded, with a tint of pink on her face. 'You sure?' Said Jake as he got closer to Iris' face. Iris blushed more. 'Okay, you're fine.' Jake said and looked away. Iris sighed softly. Thank Algarath for that. She mumbled. Jake was about to lean to kiss her cheek when Callidora went running to them. 'Someone is attacking the border!' Keara and Serenity groaned because they couldn't see Jake kissing Iris' cheek. 'You two, lovebirds, 'Callidora pointed at Keara and Serenity. 'Don't think I didn't see you there or I didn't know something was going on between you two.' Keara and Serenity chuckled awkwardly. 'Move now! Seems like Lucifer and Leviathan are playing with us.' Callidora went running towards the border. Keara, Serenity, Jake, and Iris followed Callidora. 'The villager's houses...' Iris said. Then she spotted a silhouette of someone she knew. Iris' eyes opened, 'It's Lucifer...' 'Lucifer?!,' Said Keara. 'What is my deranged cousin doing here?!' 'He's deranged?' Jake asked. 'Well, before...' Said Keara. 'Let's go' 'Oh look, the g**g's all here.' Lucifer said. 'What are you doing in our territory, Lucifer?!'Said Iris angrily. Lucifer laughed, 'Oh man, how I've missed you Reese...' 'Will you stop calling her that?' Jake shouted. 'Oh my, my, my. Someone is protective of Reese.' He looked at Keara. 'Cousin.' 'Tsk.' 'Well I'd love to stay around and destroy everything, but I have to go. See you, Reese.' He laughed menacingly and vanished. Iris sighed. 'Even if we broke up, he still calls me that.' 'Let's fix the border, Iris' Said Keara. Iris nodded and, together with their powers, they were able to fix the border. 'What about the villager's houses?' Asked Serenity. Keara placed a hand on her shoulder. 'We'll fix them too, darling, don't worry.' She smiled. Serenity nodded. 'Come on, ' Said Jake. 'We've got more fixing to do. ' They fixed the houses. Everyone thanked them. Iris smiled.

'Father, ' Said Lucifer. 'Why did you send me back? ' 'I have something to tell you, son.' Leviathan said. 'What is it, Father?' 'You and Jake.' 'What about him? ' 'You guys are half-brothers.' Lucifer was shocked to hear this. 'You see after I took away Jake's mother, Jackie, I wanted a child to be the next in line for the next Chief of The Burning Realm. So I had the best powerful witch demon to make Jackie pregnant and thus, when you were born, I had Jackie locked up, where you would never see her again. As I wanted you to live without a mother and only see me as your parent figure. But still, you must treat Jake as your own enemy because he is protecting that imbecile. And he doesn't know that he has a half-brother.' 'Why are you telling me this now?' Asked Lucifer. Leviathan didn't respond and Lucifer walked away.

'Cheers for saving The Ivory Fields!' Iris smiled. 'Yay'" Keara said cheerfully. 'Alright, save the celebration for later when this war is over, ' Said Callidora. "We still have more magic training to do, like teleporting, creating a diversion and. having wings. When you have your wings, you guys have different ones, you aren't the same as each other because the wings are gonna depend on your personality and how you handle certain situations.' Iris and the others nodded. 'Also Iris, when you're 18, you're gonna be a crowned princess. You might have to choose someone to be the crowned prince too.' She looked at Jake. 'Now let's go.' Iris and the others followed Callidora. Keara held Serenity's hand. She smiled. 'First, we are going to learn about creating a diversion, ' Said Callidora. 'To create a diversion we must say the words: Sileneous Noctegra. Let me demonstrate. Sileneous Noctegra!' Figures of Callidora were everywhere, they couldn't even tell who or where she was anymore. 'To make the diversion go away, ' A voice called out. 'We must say Morphenta Demoneris. Morphenta Demoneris!' Slowly, one by one, Calidora's figures disappeared. 'It's your turn now children.' Iris and the others practiced. Elranoth went to Callidora and whispered something in her ear, 'I see,' Callidora said. 'I'll check it out. Children, please continue practicing, I will be back soon.' And Callidora walked away. 'Wonder what Callidora is going to check out.' Said Serenity and continued practicing. An hour later, they were all exhausted and wondering where Callidora was. Elranoth came running and said, 'Queen Callidora has been taken away!' 'By who?' Iris asked. 'Lucifer, Iris!' Said Elranoth. 'We have to save my grandmother!' 'No, ' Elranoth replied. 'She told me that you guys shouldn't do anything stupid. You still have the practice to do! And she doesn't want the future crowned princess to be hurt or somehow sick.' 'But she's my grandmother!' Iris replied. 'I have to save her!' 'No, Iris. Don't, whatever the Queen said, we must follow.' Said Elranoth, and she walked away. Iris sighed sadly. 'What are we gonna do now...' Jake hugged her and said "We'll save her. Don't worry, Iris. But first, we have to practice our magic, we still haven't mastered that yet.' 'I know...' Iris replied, 'But I can't help but worry about Callidora.' Jake hugged her tighter, showing that it was all gonna be okay. And Iris nodded. 'Come on, you guys. I'm not gonna make my cousin get away with this!' Keara said. 'But we have to practice more or else we won't be able to rescue Callidora.' The others agreed. 'What was next? Teleporting? We should ask Elranoth about it.' Iris said. 'Yeah, ' Serenity said. 'So that we can save Callidora!' The others nodded yes.
