The Duke's Bride

[Carver Amell]

"A-and n-n-nobody will h-have to m-m-marry G-gamlen?" she asks quietly, beginning to tremble as her nerve fails her. 

[Tova koshack]

The girl look about to faint and I open my arms to steady her as she crumples into me. "There there it's all right I've got you now dear. You're safe now. No one will have to marry that man now now it's all right you're safe now." I murmur stroking her hair

[Carver Amell]

Carol pulls away after only a few moments of comfort. "And you-- who are you?" she demands, of Garrett. 

[Marian Hawke]

Garrett, meanwhile, is leaning against the wall, rubbing at his head. "I-- I'm not... I'm not certain."

[Tova koshack]

"He's a friend and protector of our ladies...we should get you more properly dressed." I say moving to check Garett "you feeling alrighting? We really should be moving on. No ones noticed us yet but the longer we stay in one place the more likely we are to be interrupted and I don't have a good reason for this if we get caught and if rather not have Garrett kill anyone today." I say with a crooked grin and a laugh. Moving towards the door

[Carver Amell]

"No," says Carol stubbornly. 'You have my dead sister's face. Why? Are you a demon?"

[Marian Hawke]

"I... might be?" asks Garrett, hesitantly. "I mean, I am, Elaine tested me, I--"

[Tova koshack]

"Just cause you're a demon doesn't mean you go round stealing faces. We can sort this out but not here and besides you need to get dressed lest you catch cold."

[Carver Amell]

"Then take me back to my rooms. We can speak there, and nobody will be looking for me there becuase they already checked."

[Tova koshack]

"Garret go fetch Elaina and bring her to us" I say turning to unseal the door and lead the way back to the main passageway "and be quick about it"

[Carver Amell]

By the time Garrett and Elaina return to Carol's rooms, she's dressed in a simple green gown, one that flatters her small breasts and small waist well. She needed Tova's help to get laced into it, of course -- it's a noble woman's gown, and she seems unfamiliar to some degree with the various lacings and underthings needed to support such a gown. But they managed quite well, and Garrett returns fairly quickly. 

"Hello," she says quietly. "I am Carol Amell. And you are?"

[Countess Elaina Moorwood]

"I am countess Elaina morewood." I say struck by how much she looks like Garrett "you have many questions I'm sure and I will do my best to awnser them" I say taking a seat on the chair while she sits on the bed. "First let me assure you that your mother will be taken care of when we leave here and you won't need to worry for her care. Second I will protect you from your uncle and any backlash he should attempt. Yours and your sisters safety are paramount. As for Garrett he has not stolen anyone's face. He is in fact relayed to you his mother is Leamdra amell and his father is malcom hawke. To tell you more than that I will need garrets permission to share his history as he himself doesn't fully know it"

[Carver Amell]

"...that's my mother and father," she says quietly. "Are you.... are you Marian?"

[Marian Hawke]

"I... I guess... I guess I am," Garrett says quietly. "I don't know -- I don't remember anything before two years ago. My, the man who saved me named me Garrett, and later I remembered I am a Hawke, so.... But... that name, the one you said, it sounds... it makes me feel.... afraid, and... mostly afraid."

[Tova koshack]

"Sometimes the mind makes us forget the bad so we can start over." I say gently "it's not uncommon to just forget. And if your demonic haratige came into play that could explain why you don't remember" I say gently
