The night had been interesting for all parties, on Ethans side his night had been focused on making plans on how they could assassinate the King and his crown prince. The group had spent hours going over important details, they had managed to swipe a few maps from their previous base which showed the inner workings of the Capital. Though it was a little outdated the shape still remained similar. Hours had been poured into the plans, but they just couldn’t quite figure out how they would get close enough to the crown. None of them were talented enough to be hired for the inner workings of the palace and even then, they would have to have extensive checks before passing any sort of security.
Firstly, they had to think of a way to slip into the Capital and blend in with normal society, that alone was a difficult enough plan. The idea of them going in as construction workers, not in the palace of course because they would never make it into the palace but if they could pass off as construction workers inside the Capital it was a start. Blending in with society and everyone had already agreed this plan could take years, it wouldn’t just happen overnight. After hours of them pouring into the plans the group had all fallen asleep before they’d make start on the initial plan of finding a new base.
Harry on the other hand had experienced a bit of a mixed night whilst guarding the prisoner, he was dozing off in the chair knowing it was quite late and no one would be visiting or even dare to disturb at this time because of how late it was, or early depending who you spoke too. Frowning as he heard a stir, a whimper he opened his eyes glancing around the room to make sure it had come from no one else and then his eyes fell on Iris. Sighing as he saw her sleep disturbed, he glanced at his watch groaning to see it was reaching one in the morning and he sat back on the bed watching, hoping it would just subside. After waiting about half an hour, it was clearly not subsiding, so Harry made the decision to have her sedated. Sure, it came out of the prisons budget another bill for her care, but it was also something they’d use back in the prison should there be any rowdy inmates. This was slightly different, but he felt awkward sitting there listening to what he could only assume was some sort of nightmare and whilst she was in the hospital he could allow for these kinds of expenses. Jacob wouldn’t tell him off for it.
The doctors where quick to respond, in an instant once Harry had made the decision, they swiftly injected her so she could continue to rest for the night dreamless. Sighing to himself he settled back into the chair closing his eyes once more knowing the sedative will put her out for hours so he could rest for the evening without worrying she would try to run.
After the eventful night had passed Iris began to stir in her bed, confusion swept over her as she slowly opened her eyes wondering what had happened the pounding in her head reminding her that she wasn’t home. Already she could tell her night had not been smooth, she remembered the darkness interrupting some vivid dreams, no. Nightmares. Keeping herself laying down on the bed she looked at the white wall frowning as the memory of her nightmare began to return, reminding her that she hadn’t escaped from it. Something had just stopped it for the night which she was glad of, but she knew it wouldn’t stop. This would continue to haunt her.
I…
Flinching as the flashes of the nightmares resurfaced, taking hold of her during the day reminding her of what had happened during the night even though she was desperate to forget that nightmare.
Please, forget. Please. Stop. Whispering to herself as she tried to will the memory away, force it out of her head.
