“I… what.” Iris whispered to herself as she couldn’t help but look over at the carnage before her, all she could see was the blood. The dead bodies clearly in pain, but long gone for any sort of help. Feeling herself choke at the scene she let out a wrangled noise unable to contain it, it was between a whimper and a cry because she didn’t know how to take it all in. The fever wasn’t helping, the heat was getting to her and making her feel lightheaded and she couldn’t help but look at the broken scene before her.

The stench was enough to frighten anyone, but they had to go through here to get to the gate. They would have to stomach it and be brave, but a part of her didn’t know if she could do it anymore. This was what the Capital had done, they had caused this pain and devastation and innocent lives had been lost. It was elders to the young and you could see it all in this plaza. “I didn’t think it was this bad when she said.” Whispering as she took another step forward although she flinched when a pile of rubble started to tumble down a few feet away just showing them it was unsafe.

Feeling the tug on her hand she was pulled to her senses, looking over at Cas she nodded knowing it was best to get through this part of the district. “We have to go this way. This is the way to the gate.” Pointing further into the plaza, you could see there was a pathway cleared. It wasn’t amazing but it was something they could use, “I’d take the roadway, but there’s traffic and… more danger I guess.”

Gulping she signalled for Cas to follow, her stomach churning away as she walked further in. Raising her hand, she covered her mouth and nose to hide the stench as she walked on trying not to look and the dead bodies or damage around them. Keeping her gaze firmly on the floor all she could see every now and then was the odd blood splatter which was far better than the initial picture they had seen.

Pushing further into the carnage she stepped over some rumble continuing their walk into the desolate district. Everyone by now had evacuated, well what was left of the people of this district. I can’t believe what happened. I… I need to push through. I can feel a headache. Trying not to get stuck in her thoughts she walked on biting her lip, the lightheaded feeling wasn’t going away, and she could feel with each footstep it was getting worse. Trying to blink it away she continued to walk trying to focus on her breathing and not on how devastated the town was.

“This way.” Whispering to Cas as she picked up her pace trying to get out of the plaza, heading towards the now demolished residential area as the gate would be a bit further on from that. Taking a moment to breathe she had to stop, her hand leaning on a crumbled building as she could feel her heart rate quicken. Breaths getting shorter as she felt like she was beginning to see double.

“I don’t know why she did it, but she doesn’t have a bad bone in her body. She see’s the best in everyone and always wants to help.” Sighing softly as even Iris was confused as to why Maisie had done it, she didn’t want to take the money because she knew that it was the only fund she had. As much as she had a business, it was very slow. There was no way that she’d get it all back in even a couple of weeks because business was bad in Tonseng. Not dwelling on the thought much longer she was relieved to know they hadn’t walked into a trap. The sight of Bel Bicis however caused great concern, the devastation to the district was beyond repair of the people and Iris knew there was no way the Capital would rebuild it.

“Don’t you think it’s strange? No one is around. At all. I don’t like it.” Shaking her head as she couldn’t help but look back at the gate, still no one thankfully. “I don’t think it was the text, something is wrong. I can feel it.” There was clear worry on her face as she looked around the destruction, the air felt thick with dust and debris that had been caught in the wind. “Such… devastation…” Not even talking to anyone in particular she grimaced as she walked forward thinking on the best way to get around to the next gate, it would be a fair bit of a walk and they had to be careful especially with the destruction that surrounded them.

“It’s a bit of a walk. Can you handle it?” Whispering as she turned to look at him, her own skin turning a shade paler. The fever was still evident, but Iris could push through it, hopefully by ignoring it she could continue on like it was nothing. She had seen him press his stomach and it concerned her, perhaps there was a wound there they hadn’t treated? Not that they could do much at the moment in this district anyway.

Passing through the streets it was clear their journey would not be easy through this district, not with the many obstacles and ruins of buildings blocking some of the paths. “This is going to be dangerous.” Feeling the chills run up her spine as she looked towards what used to be the town plaza, now in complete ruins but the smell that passed them made her hesitate. It was a stench that could only be described as death, if her body could run cold it would have because she could see the dried blood stains on some of the walls but as she glanced around she caught sight of bodies. Dead from the hit.

Placing a hand to her mouth knowing it would stop her from heaving she closed her eyes rooted to the spot. It took all her effort not to fall to her knees and break at the sight. It reminded her of what she had been fighting for, this was what the cause should have been about and not power. There was nothing she could do; nothing would change the fact of what happened to Bel Bicis but it still hurt to see it in such a way.

Oh yeah true! I forget about that.

I'm still saving for a house so I have a long way off before looking haha

Iris cringed at his words; he wasn’t far off of course Ethan knew they were close. They had been friends for years from what her memory was telling her. “I… I don’t know if he will, but I have to hope. Else it will be really difficult and then Maisie will get into trouble and I don’t want that. Not after everything she has done.” Shaking her head at the idea of her friend getting caught in the crossfire, “She didn’t outwardly say, but the money she gave us is probably her life savings. I’m certain of it because no one has that much money around here.”

Walking through the residential district not many were out, the few people that worked were in their stores trying to keep business open and the others would no doubt be doing some labour style work just to earn enough to get a meal. Thankfully it wasn’t raining, and the weather seemed to be okay, sunny with a few clouds, but it would be perfect for their walk back to the Capital. “I know it may be a lot for me to ask, I know I shouldn’t because I don’t have any leg to stand on really, but if it’s not too much trouble would you repay her? Maisie is not part of the rebellion; she never has been and is just an honest worker trying to get by… I just. I guess I feel bad taking all this help from her.” Although thinking on it she knew she had a problem accepting help from anyone, how awkward she had been when Cas had helped her giving her a place to stay and buy clothes and necessities so she could get by. She always wanted to repay that kindness but knowing who she was she doubted she could even do that anymore.

Rounding the fateful corner, she glanced towards the gate confused, no one was there. Had Ethan already gone for the text? It felt odd there was no one around, no sign of any rebel near the gate and it unsettled her. It only reminded her of how she felt when she first woke that something was wrong, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. “This is strange.” Whispering to herself as she glanced around, but again there was no one in sight. Should they just go for it? Or was it a trap? “I don’t like this one bit.” Rubbing her arm as she took a few more moments looking around just to make sure the coast was clear.

Letting out a shaking breath she finally moved pushing forward making her way to the gate cautiously glancing around with each step as she was so nervous. Mumbling to herself as she took a step into the eleventh district passing through the gate with no problems, there was no one around to cause any problems. Quickening her pace, she continued to walk into the districts already noting the rubble, the degrading buildings that had clearly been hit. Not many lived in this district and for good reason it seemed as all she could see was ruin.

--

Maisie by now had texted Ethan, enacting the plan that they had agreed upon, but she hadn’t expected the news she received back. The little text popped up on her phone and she couldn’t help but gasp, eyes widening in shock as she had to reread it hoping that she was wrong but she wasn't and there was no way she could tell Iris of this news as she didn't have a phone on her.

I can’t look, everyone is in an uproar. We are all in fourth district. Regis is dead. Everything is a mess.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Oh wow that's great news!! That should hopefully makes things easier for when you make the jump to moving!

Perfect! That will work nicely :3

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Nice one!!

Awh well I hope it goes through though! There is no better feeling than a new home that is just right!

Oh! Quick question, at this point would we assume Regis is dead? If so by this point today would you think the rebels would have gotten word?

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Ahh yeah motivation in general sucks I understand! Hopefully though you'll get everything sorted!!

Oh nice! Have you found anywhere you like yet?
