IM BACK BABIESSSS! Uni is over so now it's time for updates!!!!

Ember's POV
I grinned happily hearing Diamond's shrieks of laughter echoing of the walls as I lightly dug my fingers into her ticklish sides. This was the first time in a while that I had felt truly happy and unaffected by the horrors going on around me. I had almost forgotten what Alexander had done to me just over an hour ago, instead my mind was focus solely on Diamond and making up for some of the time I had lost we her. It was a relief to see that she was unharmed and apart from missing me and her father she was still the happiest, sweetest child.
I still couldn't believe that this was happening so ever often I would gather her in my arms and just hold her much to her annoyance because all she wanted to do was play whereas I wanted to keep her in my arms forever.

"I suppose we better get Charles before Alexander finds out I'm here" I sighed sadly while still grinning down at my baby, I didn't want her to feel as if there was something wrong.
Obviously I hated that she was away from me but I'd rather it be that way at least she was getting looked after and was happy rather than cold and upset like me. I was also incredibly jealous of Elsie because right now she was playing mom to my child and even though I was grateful to her I felt bitter because Diamond was my child.

"Alexander already knows you're here, this was his idea" Elsie admitted growing nervous as the room suddenly grew dark.
"He's a monster! Why would he do this?!" I spat angrily feeling my skin growing hot in fury.
"I don't know dear, let us just focus on spending time with Diamond" she nodded frantically trying to pull me back before 'she' took over.
"Mammy look!" peanut squealed pointing out of the barred windows.
"Beautiful isn't it my sweet girl!" I grinned watching the snow storm with her and feeling glad I was inside.
Seeing the snow brought back memories from the night I escaped. I had been so nervous but excited to get away and then I was captured once more by another person I had wrongly grew to trust.
To think there was a part of me that began to fall for Alexander!
What a mistake that would have been especially since he thought it would be nothing to kill off my child.

As I watched the snowfall with Peanut I couldn't help but let the tears once again flow. This wasn't part of my plan, this wasn't the life I wanted to give her. By now I thought I would be settled in a new home away from this life. Right now I should be in our little kitchen making Diamond turkey dinosaurs while she plays in the living room or watches Disney movies on repeat like I used to. I would be showing her that the world was full of good and that she has the freedom to do whatever she wants in life.

"What a precious little girl" Elsie cooed beside me gently stroking Diamond's fist had that wrapped around Elsie's fingers.
Looking now at my now sleeping princess I began to softly stroke her curls as a proud smile came onto my face.
"She's my world" I whispered feeling the familiar butterflies I felt every time I looked at her.
Even as she grew the extreme joy I felt when I first laid eyes on her hadn't changed, in fact it just got stronger until it felt like my heart would burst from being so overwhelmed.
"What are you going to do now that Joker has been captured too?" Elsie questioned making me bite my lip harshly.
I was still having trouble comprehending that it had actually happened, I wasn't ready to face the truth that almost every single piece of hope had been crushed as soon as I saw his face. It wouldn't be long until Alexander killed him and truth be told even though I hated him I couldn't imagine a world without him in it.

"I don't know Elsie, the only hope we have left is Frosty but he has no way of finding us. We're all going to rot in this place for the rest of lives living the same day over and over until we slowly wither away to nothing, only then will we finally be free" I smiled sadly.
"What a sad thought, I will pray this Frosty comes through and finds you" Elsie whimpered petting my hand.
