Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Iris didn’t look back at Cas, she didn’t want him to see her whilst she feared for her very life. This wasn’t about her right now because Cas was in such a state, he needed the medical attention and she didn’t want him to worry about her. For now, Cas should focus on getting better and not what was going to happen to her, she could worry about that. Without causing any trouble she walked alongside the soldiers who were escorting her to a car to take her away, no doubt to a cell she definitely couldn’t break out of.

It was ironic, roles had certainly been reversed and now she was the one to be locked away in the cell. It was like some crazy infinite loop, Cas in a cell now she would be in a cell. Even if they were to break out of this she didn’t know what could happen in the future, if she was allowed to leave then she’d end up back in the districts which wouldn’t be terrible as she’d still have her life, but with the rebels and Ethan out there she wouldn’t feel safe. The fact she had betrayed two different sides all in one month only spelled trouble for her. The most logical option would be her death, she would be killed for her crimes against the crown and then she wouldn’t have to worry, but then she’d be dead. Did she want that?

“Get in the car!” An order snapped in her ear as she felt one of the soldiers push her head down and shove her in the car. Once secured they slammed the door shut and locked her inside before clambering in the front to head to the penitentiary where her fate would be decided. The soldier got himself into the driver’s seat and started to make his way off, the car going at a decent speed as it drove away from the districts and the grim reminder of what happened in them.

The drive had taken no more than an hour with the speed they were going at, now far away from the edge of the districts and the tower were they had found Caspain, alive. Iris could see the vast difference in the scenery and knew they weren't in the districts anymore, nothing was blown up for one and the buildings weren’t crumbling. It looked clean, pristine and well looked after as she glanced out of the window taking in the sight of the Capital once more. It was nice seeing it again, a part of her still wanted to explore it with Cas but that was a pipe dream now and very unlikely to happen. Sighing to herself as she could see the penitentiary approach, a building that looked similar to the Prison in the districts and still had the same sense of doom. It still struck fear inside and she knew this was a place to be feared more than the prison her and Cas had just escaped from.

This might be where I die.

Seeing as the car had stopped she watched as the door opened and the Soldier reached inside dragging her out, stumbling to her feet she bit her tongue from saying anything as it wouldn’t help but none the less she was annoyed. Following them silently they headed into a heavily guarded area and it felt like all eyes were on her, it made her feel self-conscious to a degree as they watched her walk inside with the two soldiers. It was eerie walking inside; Iris could hear her footsteps against the concrete floor and the sickly feeling began to rise in her stomach.

“Right, here we are.” Opening one of the cells blocks he pushed the girl inside before locking it up behind him. “I’m sure someone will be along to question you later and explain what charges and punishment you will face.”

Not even bothering to reply to them Iris just turned her back on them looking at the grey walls of the cell that she would now be staying in. Already she felt sick, resigned by the fact this would be her death and she couldn’t stop thinking like that. At least Cas is safe and alive.

Yeeees I do love that idea! I can't imagine Atlas being too forgiving considering the Princes current state.

Omg im so excited I can't wait to go home to write! I've already got an idea on what I'm going to put haha.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Ohhh I like both ideas!

I'm happy to go with either!

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Bless Cas! Trying to defend her! He needs to get himself healed poor thing.

Iris has already started to spiral thinking this will be her death haha

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Feeling a sense of relief wash over her when she had heard they had called an ambulance for Caspain already, it meant he should be okay and at least he could be free of this nightmare. Caspain would have access to the best medicines they could offer, fixing him up with no problem and relieving all the pain. It was a small victory, she had managed to get him out and away from Ethan, her father and the rebellion in general that called for his death. Somehow, they had made it, luck had definitely been on his side when it had come to the escape and she only hoped this would at least make up for her actions. Though deep down she could still feel the guilt of kidnapping him in the first place, had she not have done that he wouldn’t be hurt like this and as much as she wished she could take it all back. She couldn’t.

Maybe they’ll be merciful with a quick death. A dark thought crossed her mind as she already feared the worst, the gun was still trained on her, so she highly doubted they were about to let her go. Even with Caspain ordering it she didn’t think they would allow her to just go to his home, where his father was when her identity had been revealed as a member of the rebellion. No doubt they knew who her father was and there was no way she would be setting foot in his home.

There it was the confirmation that his father had already given out orders when it came to her arrest, well the rebels in general and of course she was there that night. She had orchestrated it all and she was the reason he was in this state in the first place and wounded as bad as he was. It was strange because she felt numb, like she wasn’t really registering what was happening around her as she kept her hands upright showing them there was no threat. What could she do anyway? If she were to run, they’d catch her or shoot her, and she didn’t have the energy for anything like that.

The other guard had stepped forward and restrained Iris pulling her arms roughly behind her back handcuffs being pulled from his belt as he cuffed her wrists together tightly. Orders were orders and the Kings superseded the Princes and who knew, the Prince was heavily injured and might not know what he was saying. The guard had many thoughts on the matter about what could have happened, but he kept his mouth shut more because he wanted to impress Jacob and saying something stupid would look bad on him. “Sir, suspect restrained.”

Suspect… yes. I suppose it’s fitting. Should have called me a traitor. Well at least Caspain will be alright, he will get better. Maybe he will look at helping the districts. He has seen it now… he is a good person. Thoughts began to circulate as she didn’t have the strength to speak up, colour had drained from her face and it was hard not to feel a little frightened with what was to come. A part of her wanted to talk to her father one last time, even if it was just a goodbye it had some sort of closure. Iris had resigned herself to thinking this was her death, especially when his father found out about her as she could remember the day, he had interrogated her. The distrust was there, and she had proved him right.

“Sir, what are your orders?” The Soldier asked as he kept a hold of Iris stopping her from being able to escape, not that she struggled against the arrest in the first place.

I absolutely loved it! Oh man this is getting so exciting haha!!

“You’re going to make it. You will make it. You can’t die.” Iris kept saying those words to Cas as if it would spur them on and keep them going. They had to make it after all of this and she would be devastated if he didn’t make it, if he died after all of this she wouldn’t be able to live with the guilt because it would keep her awake every night. The fact his bandages were soaked with blood only made things worse, it only showed them how very little time they had left and if he didn’t get treated it would be worse.

There was a sense of relief knowing they had made it to the border, but it wouldn’t be simple and in fact a feel of dread began to creep up on her. For one there were no guards apparent and it felt eerie. Though thinking on it she hadn’t really known there to be much of guards around here. Usually the guard stationed was either napping, drunk or too busy entertaining someone else to even bother with the rebels. The guard could also be bought with the right price, that’s probably what lead to one of their breaches of security in the first place. Glancing at the fence she already knew that was were she had snuck through before, that very fence that led towards the forests of the Capital. The fence that had been broken for years, no sign of repair or any sort of TLC.

Thoughts ran through her mind of what if they were about to be gunned down, she could imagine someone just shooting them down from way up there and that would be the end of them. Their struggles would all be for nothing and as they approached, she felt herself stumble a little with the little energy she had left. A part of her just wanted to let the exhaustion take over, sleep taking her as whatever happened did and she could just stay blissfully unaware. That was not a choice after all and again right now Caspain should be her priority especially with his injuries that felt like they were becoming increasingly fatal by the minute.

“Cas!” Iris grimaced as he dropped to the ground and she was unable to catch him, the weight was too much for her as her body still trembled feeling a dull ache spread across her own limbs. Kneeling down by his side she offered her hand to help him up, but it seemed he couldn’t get himself to his feet even with her help. The injuries must have been too much and there was no way she could help him go any further if there weren’t guards at this post.

“My hands?” Whispering to herself as she realised what Cas was saying, if there were guards, they were in the direct line of sight of the watch tower and could easily be killed. It was something she had forgotten as Cas had fallen and she had forgotten everything else momentarily as she slowly stood herself up again. It was highly likely they’d assume they were terrorists, especially if they still thought the Prince was dead and surely security would have been fixed after the kidnapping. Although it was hard because she watched Caspain struggle and he was clearly in pain, she wanted to help in some way but when she had finally mustered up the courage not to put her hands up reaching out for him she heard an order. An order that sent shivers down her spine.

Slowly she raised her hands up not moving from her spot for fear she would get shot. For a brief moment she wanted to just run out of there, bolt away but then that would only end up with her being shot and she knew she couldn’t leave Cas. Not without knowing he was okay, even if it meant she’d most likely be killed for treason. Glancing towards the soldier that had snapped his order she could see the gun that was trained on her, her heart stopped as she tried not to move. “I… I was just trying to help him. I don’t mean any harm.” Perhaps they’d just let her back away, slowly return to the districts if they knew she didn’t mean any harm. Surely, they couldn’t know she was the daughter of the rebel leader, they had to just be soldiers here for the watch tower.

Omg that was amazing! I can feel my heart racing from the post!!

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Iris tried to smile as she watched Cas take a bit of a break from the movement they had done; it was a lot to be pushing him through and she worried about his health. The thought of getting him back to the Capital was still weighing her down, she knew it was the right thing to do but at the same time she was worried about what could happen next. It would probably mean the end for them; she could feel the pit in her stomach because it was most likely to happen, and she knew deep down it would be for the best. He was better off in the Capital; he’d be better off with everything there as the district life is for no one in it's current state.

Nibbling the bottom of her lip as she could see the blood on his leg, the wound had not healed, and she could see the bandages were just about keeping it together. Things seemed dire because they were stuck, the order wasn’t too far but there was no guarantee that anyone would be willing to help at the border especially because they thought he was dead. “It doesn’t look good at all. You need help, actual medicine which I don’t have. We don’t have here.” Frowning as she looked around the area happy that no one had appeared to follow them, but there was always the fear.

“You sure?” Hearing him say he was ready to forward she was nervous because she didn’t want him getting worse. Though staying where they were wouldn’t help at all because they’d be at risk and Caspain was already bleeding. The loss of blood would be worse and it potential it could mean there was a chance of him losing that leg if untreated. There was nothing in the district they could do for these wounds, not when Ethan and the rebels were around trying to kill him and potentially her.

Leaning down she took him by the arm and moved it over her shoulder helping him up, it took a few minutes to get him on his feet and she shifted her weight underneath him, so he felt supported. “Let’s go.” Determined she pushed them forward at a steady pace, nothing too slow and again not too fast because she didn’t want to push him not with his current injuries. If his body went into shock that would spell out more trouble for them and she wouldn’t know what to do. If his body went into shock and he couldn’t move there was no way she could get him to the bored. On top of that she wouldn’t be able to call for help, no one at the border would believe her and if she left him alone there was a risk of someone finding him and just killing him.

Moving on she kept walking holding him firmly as they moved, her heart was racing away as they kept moving. Right now, it was such a rush, she could barely think straight as her main focus became getting Caspain to the border, hoping that someone was there who would recognise him and get help quickly. Already her body began to shake underneath him as she supported most of his weight, her own energy draining but she kept willing herself forward. “Just a bit longer, nearly there. I promise.”

As if on queue they started to reach a clearing, high fencing and a small tower were a guard would usually sit watching the border. The fence looked a bit ragged, broken in places which only signalled how easy it was to slip into the Capitals forest from the districts if guards weren’t paying attention. “Look, we are here.” As if trying to spur Caspain on she didn’t stop walking, she continued helping him towards the tower that hopefully a guard would be sat in watching. Praying to herself that they didn’t get shot on sight.

Ohhhh yes I like it!
