Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Grimacing as he questioned back asking why she was so determined she couldn’t openly say what the true meaning was because then it would only admit to the feelings she was trying to hide. “I just… I just feel like every moment you’re here only makes it worse for all of the people both here and the Capital. You need a really doctor to look at the wound on your arm and I just need to get you back.” Because it will ease my guilt? No. I will never forgive myself for what I did but seeing him back in safety will certainly ease my mind and remind me nothing can ever happen. Another wave of thoughts passed her by as they pressed on.

It was hard not to sway, her body felt heavy finding it hard to move but she forced herself to keep on. A part of her still stubborn at moving tonight. Frowning when he posed his own option of moving when she didn’t look like she was about to keel over. Surely, I don’t look bad? It’s just a fever. Trying to convince herself as she felt his grip tighten supporting her more sending another wave of guilt through her because he was injured.

It had taken a few doors to try, each home in dismay scattered with dead. Unable to contain her shudder at the fact most people in this district was dead. It had been a stroke of luck to find an empty home but a part of her wondered why, where they just out? Would they return? Or were they just dead in the plaza, bodies they had already passed beyond help. Feeling the sofa beneath her she couldn’t help but sigh, her body felt heavy and it was just nice to sit down even though she had been protesting the idea of rest.

Although at his next comment she went to protest again at the idea of him checking to make sure no one else was here, how would he fight them off if someone was? What if there were rebels around just waiting for them? What if they had been tracked here? All those thoughts started to swim around and just panic her further. Trying to push herself off of the sofa to assist him she frowned as she couldn’t even do that, her body had weakened demanding rest as if she had overdone it but she was too stubborn to admit it. Her attempts had been feeble so instead she tried to relax after realising she was going nowhere, but it was difficult. Waiting with bated breath for Cas to return she couldn’t help but let out a shaky breath when he had given the all clear. It was empty, no one was here except them. Though the idea that they were surrounded by dead bodies in homes around them did unsettle her.

Struggling to remove the backpack from her shoulders she leaned forward finally pulling the thing off, placing it beside her on the floor as she looked towards Cas. “I don’t know. As I said medicine is difficult to come by. We usually just ride them out or push through them.” Shrugging her shoulders as she leaned back on the sofa exhausted. With little sleep and an unsettled stomach, it did feel good to sit down for a moment, but it hadn’t helped her double vision or the fact she was now feeling extremely cold even though her skin was on fire.

Omg it threw me off for a second!! Haha Why did you change it?

Bless Cas! Also I had an idea that maybe the mother and daughter Cas saw dead in the plaza its their home they've now entered?

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

Omg bless Cas! I could picture it, poor thing he won't forget that haha

“N-Nothing is wrong.” The words left her mouth before she could stop them, but the minute she felt the hand on her shoulder she knew she couldn’t give anymore bullshit excuses. Even she could feel her own heat radiate off of her. “Honestly, I can do this. Just needed a quick stop. I’m fine! I’ll be fine!” Rambling as she tried to convince him otherwise, she didn’t want to delay the journey any longer than it already had been. Iris had promised to get him back tonight and she wanted to keep it, she didn’t want to disappoint him plus he needed to get his arm looked into by a professional.

Cursing to herself she felt a pang of guilt as he called it, telling her that this was too much for her when she knew deep down, she could push through it. “Cas, we can’t rest here. Look at it. At least let us get to the next district.” Hopefully by that point she’d feel more normal so would be able to continue on and get him back as soon as. Who knows what consequences will now happen to the people over his disappearance, he had been gone for a while already and it was surprising, they had yet to find him? It only increased her worry on what kind of wrath the Capital would bring down upon the people for his disappearance especially now after seeing Bel Bicis.

Before she could fight her case, she felt him move closer, draping her arm over his shoulder to support her and it was only then did she realise her knees had grown weak and was thankful for the support. “Your arm?” Whispering as she looked at Cas, concern filled her unfocused eyes as she didn’t want to cause him any further pain. It was her fault he had been injured like this after all.

Trying to regain her focus she glanced up at where they were headed and could see that Cas was leading them towards a housing complex. “Cas, we shouldn’t stop here.” Whispering as she could feel another dizzy spell coming on accompanied by a wave of nausea because the stench of death had not escaped her it only made her feel sick. “I’m not stubborn. I know I can continue. I have to get you back… I have too it’s top priority.”

Though even as she fought against him her voice wavered and by now they had reached the housing complex, it was partly damaged but not nearly as bad as the plaza they had just walked through decorated with bodies of the dead. Grimacing as she felt her body start to ache, she knew the fever was getting the better of her as much as she hated to admit it, but she was determined to get him home. “Okay… just an hour though. Just a quick rest and we will move again. Okay?” She was certain after she had sat down for an hour they could then move again; she could focus on getting him home because she didn’t want to delay it anymore.

Plus being around him… I know I shouldn’t but it’s hard just to ignore everything that happened between us. Lost in her own thoughts she felt herself stumble slightly limbs weakened but thankful she was leaning on Cas or she would have fallen. The heat was getting to her, it was becoming too much and all she could feel was her heart racing which to her was so loud she could hear it.

Nice!! Did you have anything nice for lunch?

“I… what.” Iris whispered to herself as she couldn’t help but look over at the carnage before her, all she could see was the blood. The dead bodies clearly in pain, but long gone for any sort of help. Feeling herself choke at the scene she let out a wrangled noise unable to contain it, it was between a whimper and a cry because she didn’t know how to take it all in. The fever wasn’t helping, the heat was getting to her and making her feel lightheaded and she couldn’t help but look at the broken scene before her.

The stench was enough to frighten anyone, but they had to go through here to get to the gate. They would have to stomach it and be brave, but a part of her didn’t know if she could do it anymore. This was what the Capital had done, they had caused this pain and devastation and innocent lives had been lost. It was elders to the young and you could see it all in this plaza. “I didn’t think it was this bad when she said.” Whispering as she took another step forward although she flinched when a pile of rubble started to tumble down a few feet away just showing them it was unsafe.

Feeling the tug on her hand she was pulled to her senses, looking over at Cas she nodded knowing it was best to get through this part of the district. “We have to go this way. This is the way to the gate.” Pointing further into the plaza, you could see there was a pathway cleared. It wasn’t amazing but it was something they could use, “I’d take the roadway, but there’s traffic and… more danger I guess.”

Gulping she signalled for Cas to follow, her stomach churning away as she walked further in. Raising her hand, she covered her mouth and nose to hide the stench as she walked on trying not to look and the dead bodies or damage around them. Keeping her gaze firmly on the floor all she could see every now and then was the odd blood splatter which was far better than the initial picture they had seen.

Pushing further into the carnage she stepped over some rumble continuing their walk into the desolate district. Everyone by now had evacuated, well what was left of the people of this district. I can’t believe what happened. I… I need to push through. I can feel a headache. Trying not to get stuck in her thoughts she walked on biting her lip, the lightheaded feeling wasn’t going away, and she could feel with each footstep it was getting worse. Trying to blink it away she continued to walk trying to focus on her breathing and not on how devastated the town was.

“This way.” Whispering to Cas as she picked up her pace trying to get out of the plaza, heading towards the now demolished residential area as the gate would be a bit further on from that. Taking a moment to breathe she had to stop, her hand leaning on a crumbled building as she could feel her heart rate quicken. Breaths getting shorter as she felt like she was beginning to see double.

Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

“I don’t know why she did it, but she doesn’t have a bad bone in her body. She see’s the best in everyone and always wants to help.” Sighing softly as even Iris was confused as to why Maisie had done it, she didn’t want to take the money because she knew that it was the only fund she had. As much as she had a business, it was very slow. There was no way that she’d get it all back in even a couple of weeks because business was bad in Tonseng. Not dwelling on the thought much longer she was relieved to know they hadn’t walked into a trap. The sight of Bel Bicis however caused great concern, the devastation to the district was beyond repair of the people and Iris knew there was no way the Capital would rebuild it.

“Don’t you think it’s strange? No one is around. At all. I don’t like it.” Shaking her head as she couldn’t help but look back at the gate, still no one thankfully. “I don’t think it was the text, something is wrong. I can feel it.” There was clear worry on her face as she looked around the destruction, the air felt thick with dust and debris that had been caught in the wind. “Such… devastation…” Not even talking to anyone in particular she grimaced as she walked forward thinking on the best way to get around to the next gate, it would be a fair bit of a walk and they had to be careful especially with the destruction that surrounded them.

“It’s a bit of a walk. Can you handle it?” Whispering as she turned to look at him, her own skin turning a shade paler. The fever was still evident, but Iris could push through it, hopefully by ignoring it she could continue on like it was nothing. She had seen him press his stomach and it concerned her, perhaps there was a wound there they hadn’t treated? Not that they could do much at the moment in this district anyway.

Passing through the streets it was clear their journey would not be easy through this district, not with the many obstacles and ruins of buildings blocking some of the paths. “This is going to be dangerous.” Feeling the chills run up her spine as she looked towards what used to be the town plaza, now in complete ruins but the smell that passed them made her hesitate. It was a stench that could only be described as death, if her body could run cold it would have because she could see the dried blood stains on some of the walls but as she glanced around she caught sight of bodies. Dead from the hit.

Placing a hand to her mouth knowing it would stop her from heaving she closed her eyes rooted to the spot. It took all her effort not to fall to her knees and break at the sight. It reminded her of what she had been fighting for, this was what the cause should have been about and not power. There was nothing she could do; nothing would change the fact of what happened to Bel Bicis but it still hurt to see it in such a way.
