The words that were exchanged only frightened Iris, the way he spoke to her sent her mind racing. What would he do to her? Though as much as she feared for herself, she feared for Cas more. There was hope her father wouldn’t allow her to be killed, there was a slither of hope in that, but Cas wouldn’t be in the same boat. They wouldn’t allow him to live when their ultimate goal had been to kill him, to end the monarchy line and there was nothing she or anyone could do to sway their minds from that goal. Cringing she felt the squeeze of his hand, but all she could do was tremble in response even as Cas spoke of her father. [color=f49ac2][i]I doubt it, as long as his goal is met, he doesn’t care. After all he sent me to my death before[/i][/color]. 

Ethan laughed; he couldn’t help it because they didn’t know what had happened to Regis. He wasn’t going to tell them, oh no they didn’t deserve that. In fact, he could use it to his advantage as he continued to drive along, the car making unhealthy sounds as it pottered along the uneven road. “Oh, that’s [i]sweet[/i]. You remember her father’s name. Though I don’t think you know him like [i]I[/i] do.” The car started to slow down, approaching a rather grim looking building. Grey crumbling walls, high fencing and barbed wire and even old rusted bars. Coming to a stop he turned in his seat, a flicker of pain crossed his face from the gunshot wound on his thigh as he looked at the pair in the back seat. “You see Regis will let me do anything I want to his daughter. He see’s me as his son already, he wanted us to be married.”

[color=f49ac2][i]He’s not lying there;[/i][/color] Regis always saw him as the son he never had. Biting her lip as Iris looked at Ethan before shaking her head, [color=f49ac2]“You don’t know that, my father loves me. He won’t stand for it.”[/color] Although she tried to sound confident in her words deep down, she didn’t feel it, in fact her father had changed so much she barely recognised him, but she hoped there was still love there. 

“I’ll let you in on a little secret [i]Princey boy[/i]. Regis… left me in charge. I make the rules right now whilst he enjoys his time in retirement. In truth his disowned his daughter the minute she tried to help you escape.” Shrugging as he looked towards the building, rebel members were stood outside with guns so there was no way they could just run from the car and escape. They would be shot dead. “Now, what do I have in store for you today. I’m thinking a good thrashing for the Prince. What do you think on that Tom?” Ethan hadn’t made his mind up on what he was going to do just yet, but he wanted his ominous words to unsettle them both. 

“[b]Get out the car[/b], if you run, they will shoot.” Growling as he pushed himself out of the car, dried blood was now on his thigh from the bullet wound that had scraped his skin. Limping he didn’t even need to check they were following, there was no escape now they were at one of the biggest rebel bases they had in the districts.
