[color=f49ac2]“Yeah, I can’t imagine it being that simple.”[/color] Iris felt herself sigh eyes downcast at the mention of her father, as much as she would have loved the idea of just snapping his fingers and having it all fixed her father would still pose a threat. There was no way he would just allow some sort of peace; he was obsessed with ending the line now. Not even the mention of peace would deter him from his path of wanting revenge on the Maydestone family. It was a shame because she knew her father was a good man; he had been a good man at heart but somehow lost his way and that was something she could never figure out. [color=f49ac2]“I wish I could say my father would want it to end… but he has lost his way. He was a good man once; I wish you could have met him when he was.”[/color] Smiling slightly as she looked over at Cas, but that would never happen now. [color=f49ac2]“Perhaps your father will see to reason? You never know.”[/color] Though even she knew it was a long shot, however she was happy in knowing that Cas finally knew the truth. 

Grinning over at Cas she was glad he was hungry too; it would be easier to head into another district plus it would also give them a chance to scout out potential places to stay for the night. [color=f49ac2]“Good! I think I may have enough in the budget to treat you to dinner.”[/color] Winking at him playfully as she watched him unzip his jacket, he was right it was far too warm right now, but she didn’t know if that was because they had spent hours walking. 

“Ethan. Look.” Tom hissed in the car as he nudged Ethan who was driving along, narrowing his eyes at the two figures they could see in the distance. “That’s got to be them.” 

Ethan took a glance from the road to catch sight of the two, seeing one of the figures he could tell it was Iris. It was her and whomever she was with had to be the Prince. “Right, let’s get them. It’s now or never.” Speeding up a little he pushed the car further, hearing the rattle of the engine as he sped up to chase down the two figures. 

Hearing the sound of a car unsettled her, glancing around she could see a car in the distance, and it looked like it was bee-lining to them. Frowning she felt herself panic because cars wouldn’t usually be on the road, this was many supply runs. [color=f49ac2]“Cas… run. I don’t think that’s friendly.”[/color] Tugging on his hand as she urged him to run, her heart beginning to race as she started to run herself. Panic settling in because they had nothing to defend themselves with and all they could do was run. 

As she had started to run, she could hear the car screech to a halt which to her only meant that it had to be the rebels, that they had been found and she didn’t dare look back. Keeping her eyes ahead as she tried to focus on getting out of there. [b]BANG[/b]. Within an instant she came to a halt, eyes wide as she heard the shot, that was a gunshot. Looking round for Cas she had to make sure he hadn’t been hit, she knew she hadn’t but that didn’t mean they hadn’t gone for him. The shot itself hadn’t been aimed at anyone, it had been a warning telling them to stop. 

“I’D STOP RUNNING OR THE NEXT SHOT WILL BE AIMED AT YOU BOTH.” Ethan shouted out the gun now pointing towards Iris and Cas as he forced them to stop running. Tom was at his side folding his arms as he kept his eyes on the pair. 

[color=f49ac2]“E-Ethan…”[/color] Iris felt her heart drop as she saw him standing there with a gun, aiming at them. Of all the rebels to catch them it had to be him, it was typical and she just wished it would have been anyone else.
