DigizelDrifting in and out of consciousness as Iris tried to make sense of who she was and where she was, she found it a struggle to have a firm grasp on what reality was. Ethan hadn’t been kidding on the fact she was going to suffer for Cas not stepping down and she wished for the crazy ex-boyfriend of hers to just put her out of her misery. It took a lot of willpower to tell herself it was worth it, that she had made the right decision even though it caused her all this pain. Ethan hadn’t been nice in any way; he had left her with the broken arm and beaten body on the floor not even bothering to throw a blanket her way to combat the cold night.
Tears streaked down her face as she could feel the pain pulsating in her arm, the pains from the beats and kicks had dulled but only because there was a new pain on the block drawing all her focus. Iris didn’t have the energy to move so she stayed on the floor drifting in and out of exhaustion only finding herself to rouse at sounds approaching her cell or because the pain was too much to give her some rest. Hearing some sort of argument outside Iris opened her eyes towards the door trying to focus enough to listen.
“Are you really going to kill her?”
“It’s the only way to send a message, if he knows I’m serious at killing her then he will step down. If he doesn’t and she dies, then he will be taken by guilt.”
“Ethan it’s risky, I thought you loved the girl, but this is a little bit farfetched. There is talk, that maybe you need a break and some….”
“Don’t! That’s absurd I am within my right mind and doing the right thing for this cause or have you forgotten on who the enemy is!” Ethan snapped at the other who just sighed and wandered off not wanting to get into a fight with a man who was losing his sanity as each day went, obsessing over one thing. “She will understand my love, the sacrifice I am making for the greater good here!” As if trying to affirm to himself that she still loved him and would understand his decisions.
The noise died down again and Iris couldn’t hear anymore voices as the exhaustion took her once more, eyes resting for a moment as she succumbed to the darkness. It had been another day before she started to come around again her energy still dwindling and the pain still there, but she knew there couldn’t be much longer he would hold out for. As her eyes began to open, she made sense of a figure in the corner, an outline of someone on the chair who leaned forward to her as her eyes slowly blinked registering her surroundings.
“Today is the day my princess. It is time for you to play your part in my plan.” Ethan spoke in a soft manner as he edged forward his eyes solely on the girl he had loved. Kneeling down at her side he began to stroke her hair in his fingers as if soothing her from being unwell, another sick twisted game of his as he acted like this was normal.
With her dry throat Iris managed a hoarse whisper to him still not giving up hope that Cas had moved on and was living his best life as a King they deserved. “It won’t work."
“Shhh, save your energy my sweet. I expect this to be long, slow and even more painful.” With a glint in his eye, he drew a blade from his pocket the steel blade pressing against her abdomen as he leaned over her body still on the floor. Inching closer to her lips Ethan kissed her softly as he pressed the blade into her skin slowly earning a whimper of pain and jolt of her body against his as he pressed the knife in further. Pulling back from the kiss he could see the tears in her eyes the struggle to not sob in front of him and show him the pain she was in; warmth of her blood had touched his fingertips before he pulled back leaving the knife in place knowing the weapon would help stem the blood flow and give her longer before bleeding out.
Rising to his feet he pulled back before nodding to a comrade in the room who stopped recording the scene before them and handed the phone over in silence. There was a green hue to the guy who felt sick watching, but none the less he had stood by Ethan as he took the next steps in his plan. Ethan had snatched the phone from him and wasted no time in sending that little snippet of a video to the King to see how serious he was in his words. Whether or not the King had turned off communication to his number he didn’t know, but he sent it none the less hoping he hadn’t blocked the number.
Enjoy living with your decision.
