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. [color=f49ac2][i]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[/i][/color]. 

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. [color=f49ac2]“It doesn’t look good at all. You need help, actual medicine which I don’t have. We don’t have here.”[/color] Frowning as she looked around the area happy that no one had appeared to follow them, but there was always the fear. 

[color=f49ac2]“You sure?”[/color] 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. [color=f49ac2]“Let’s go.”[/color] 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. [color=f49ac2]“Just a bit longer, nearly there. I promise.”[/color]

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. [color=f49ac2]“Look, we are here.”[/color] 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.
