Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

“Father… it’s not like that.” Iris whispered rather quickly as she looked at him eyes glancing down at the bottle in his hand, the smell of alcohol was apparent once more and she knew that he had been drinking. When didn’t he drink nowadays? Feeling the uncomfortable in his presence she knew that he was angry, he hated the monarchy. It was clear to see the hatred he held for them; how bitter he had become over the years after losing his wife.

“Oh? Then what is it like? I’ve heard of your escapades with them. Cuddling up to the enemy.” Slurred angry words left his mouth as he narrowed his eyes at his daughter. “Did you sleep with him?” Holding up a finger as he pointed to her still holding the empty beer bottle.

“What? No!? It was never… what has gotten into you?” Iris stuttered at the accusations, does Ethan think that?

“What has gotten into you more like. Do you think you’re better than us now? I bet you wanted to stay, live that lifestyle. I bet you faked the amnesia all so you could escape your life. Had it not been for Ethan we’d have nothing right now. We wouldn’t have him rotting in our cell, waiting for his death.” Without any warning he threw the empty bottle smashing it against the cell bars, no care if he hurt the Prince or anyone else for that matter because he was angry. Bitter and he was not calming down easily.

Flinching at the sound of smashing glass she frowned looking at her father, a man she barely recognised. “What are you doing? You should not act like this, show weakness in front of anyone.” She hoped that he would think of her words, change his behaviour so he would not continue to act like this in front of others. However, she had been wrong, it only angered him further.

In one swift motion the sound of a slap could be heard as he struck his daughter around the face, “Insolent child talking back to me, I have never been more ashamed. Go to your room. I’ll deal with you later.” Fire burned in his eyes as he glared at his daughter, seething at the fact his daughter was talking back to him. He knew deep down he should not be acting like this, but the rage would not allow him to see through it.

Willing herself not to cry she turned on her heel head held high as she exited the basement, a part of her did not want to leave him alone with Cas but there was nothing else she could do. There was no way she could stand in between them, he would either kill her Caspain for that matter and it was best to let him calm down himself. Cas won’t be stupid; he won’t anger him more… I hope. Feeling her heart race as she moved to her room, although he had struck her. Although he had been nasty, she knew he was not always like this, he was an honourable man he had just been through a lot.

“Now you. I hope you’re ready for your death. Might even make a spectacle of it. How would your father enjoy a piece of you being delivered each day? Maybe it will kill his weak heart.” Regis spoke coldly as he turned his attention to the Prince in the cell. Regis was not thinking straight, although he had an anger problem, he never used to be like this, before the passing of his wife he was different. People could not have predicted the change in him when she had passed, it was like he was a completely different person. Especially when influenced with the alcohol intake.

Oooo I'm pretty excited to see them!

I'm super excited for their trip haha

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

My boyfriend is? Perhaps Ethan is, he can be a bit rough. Glancing to her wrist as she touched the small finger bruises that had developed, a part of her had a feeling that this had happened before. He isn’t my boyfriend anymore, maybe I dodged a bullet on that one. It was strange how she felt, a part of her didn’t understand it fully as she was still piecing her memories and thoughts together. It was nice however to be in a familiar setting, she was remembering more each day so hopefully she would feel somewhat normal again in a couple of days.

“I was there to kill you; I was sent to assassinate your family.” She could see the distrust in his eyes, and she didn’t blame him one bit, especially after what had happened. “Had I not smacked my head against that rock and lost who I was we may have met in different circumstances, me being executed for treason.” She knew she would not have gotten anywhere near to kill him, not with the security they had and deep down in her heart she knew she wouldn’t be able to kill anyone. Iris could have lied; said she was there under different circumstances but what else could happen? She had broken their trust, their relationship and being honest was the best way to go. She had nothing else to lose.

“But… you have to understand, that’s how I was raised. I was raised to believe that your family did not care about us. That the people who lived outside of the Capital were dirt, just as you have been raised to believe that we are terrible people… well there are some who are terrible I guess.” Rambling slightly as she shook her head, “You get my point there, we have both been raised differently to believe different things. We have both witnessed different things and been exposed to different things. I’m by no means justifying my actions.”

Sighing to herself she knew something she had remembered whilst she couldn’t sleep last night, the full truth about her mother. The photo of her mother than was on her bedside table had triggered it. “I told you the rebellion had something to do with my mother’s death, right? Well we don’t get much access to food here or medicine, sometimes even water and she always spent her life trying to help others. She’d take care of the sick, the injured but sadly she had gotten ill herself. Cancer. Something the Capital could have cured, could have helped with. My father begged, pleaded to arrange a way to pay, but well. She’s no longer with us.”

Looking away as she pushed herself up onto her feet she glanced back at Cas, “And no I’m not saying this for sympathy, nor to make you feel bad for me. I’m saying this so you understand how differently our lives compared. She was the reason it sparked a rebellion, the people loved her here and it broke my father who had worked hard to provide for the family. It caused the rebellion my father leading it. He… has never been the same.”

“IRIS, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING AT. DISCUSSING THINGS WITH HIM.” A booming voice roared as the door to the basement slammed open. “I am so disappointed with you. Showing him kindness. He would not have showed you the same kindness in return.” Spitting his words as he looked between his daughter and the Prince in the cell. Storming down into the basement he glared at his daughter, an empty bottle of beer in his hand as you could see the rage in his eyes. It was clear this man was broken, angry and somewhat drunk.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Omg I know! I'm just on my way home so I'll reply when I get in!

I'm just chilling on mobile haha. I'm so excited though! I'd be interested to see how Cas keeps his father from killing Iris cause I can only imagine his first point of call would be to kill her xD

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Yeah! Like each day they have to move! So they don't get caught by the rebels.

Oooo no no I like the idea! What if the soldiers raid the home, take him for questioning? Maybe we could have him killed and Ethan uses it as an opportunity to take over? Perhaps Iris doesn't even know he gets killed until back in the capital? Thay would make things quite interesting!

I can just imagine Atlas' reaction to finding out he is gone, just when they thought they had Cas to rescue haha.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Omg yes deffo! I'm loving every part of it!!

Yeah I was gonna suggest getting him back into the Capital will be hard. Maybe it takes a few weeks? Cause each day will be different. One day could be the struggle of food, another could be maybe some lower rank members of hope finds them and they have to escape their cluthes etc.

Plus I quite like the idea of one of them getting sick and struggling to find medicine.

That way Cas also gets to really see what outside of the capital looks like too!

Cause with all that they would have a deeper bond making it all the more heartbreaking when roles are reversed haha.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Oh definitely! I can see the hesitation of Cas following her when she does break him out.

I'm also quite excited for Atlas when they do get back to the capital!

I feel for Jacob though, he is probably going to get the brunt of all the bad moods haha

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Oh gosh! I'm sure it will turn out great though!

I don't blame you for taking a break before surrounding yourself with the project haha

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Flinching at his words she knew she had lied to him, betrayed his trust but she wasn’t here to get him to like her again. She didn’t want him to let his guard down because she knew she had already completely messed things up, something that she would regret for the rest of her life. “I…” Sighing softly as she sat down on the opposite side of his cell using the wall to lean against. “I don’t expect you to just forget what I did nor do I expect you to let your guard down. What I did is unforgiveable and something I will have to live with.”

Looking over at the bowl of food she had placed down with the glass she caught site of the discarded one kicked aside, and she knew it had to be Ethan. She could see the blanket thrown to the other side of the room and a part of her wanted to give it to him, but she stopped herself not wanting to make things worse between them. “I just want to show you that not every rebel or civilian on this side of the Capital is horrible, or a terrorist.” That’s not it, but I can’t tell him I still have feelings for him because he will think I am lying. I’ve lost his trust.

“It’s not much, just food and water. I’m not a savage.” Whispering her words as she ran fingers through her hair, the sleeve of her top shifted revealing finger mark bruises around her wrist from the way Ethan had grabbed her the night of his kidnapping.

“I know I messed up greatly Cas, I know I’m beyond redemption, beyond forgiveness but again I never lied about my feelings. That was not an act.” She knew it would be hard to believe her, but there was no sense of dishonesty in her voice because she was not lying. “I never wanted to hurt you… Although I know I have.” Lowering her head in shame as she focused her gaze on her feet, “I panicked when I found out the truth. Ethan told me that you’d have me killed, then you caught those two rebels who were there to rescue me. I thought that you would maybe release them, punish them of course, but the death sentencing… I forgot who I was. I was convinced that the only option was to leave, or I’d be killed. I was vulnerable and Ethan managed to convince me that kidnapping you would be for the best. That it would make up for me cheating on him because I did have a boyfriend.”

Placing her head in her hands not even sure that opening up would help, that he would even care about it and her reasons for why she had done what she did. “All I can say is I’m sorry. I… I know it’s not good enough.” Stuttering on her words slightly because she had faltered, I was never good enough for you anyway. “Just… try to eat. Keep your strength up so that when the military do find you, they at least have a Prince to take back.” They will find him, hopefully within a few days. I don’t doubt their abilities. Maybe then it will be an end to this war, to this miserable life.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Oh wow I bet that was quite weird! Least it's over though haha.

Ooooo how far have you got with your project?
