 Price's POV:

 My tail twitched as I slowly opened my eyes to the dark prison cell once again. It's been... Actually, I don't know how many days it's been since I ended up locked in this cell without my eye and with Grian. 

 Has it been weeks? Months even? 

 It's hard to know with the repeated flickering of the lights. Speaking of lights, the strobe lights have stopped happening entirely. Where did Ash end up though? I haven't heard him scream, cry, or make any sort of noise since the lights stopped.

 Was he even nearby? Did I lose him?

 Slowly, I brought my fuzzy legs close to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. 

 What if I was too late in finding him? What if they cut up his whole body and created multiple Ash clones in order to attack the other servers and bring them down into this hell? 

 My whole body was shaking at this point. 

 How long has it been? Why do things have to happen like this? 

 " P-Price?" 

 What to do? What to do? What to do?

 " PRICE!"

 I squeaked and fell onto my side as Grian's voice broke through my thoughts. My tail thrashed as I turned my head enough in order to look towards him. 

 " W-What?" I questioned as Grian slowly sat up and struggled to get out of his bed. The hermit's wings flapped slightly in order to keep himself balanced. 

  Through a great amount of effort, the hermit managed to get over to my bed and sat down next to me. Grian let out a shaky breath, " Even after sleeping off that poison, I still can't stand on my own two feet." he let out a small chuckle as he folded his wings in. 

 I nodded slightly as Grian turned towards me and put his hand against my leg. 

 " Are you doing alright mate?" Grian questioned as I unfolded myself from my bunched up position and pulled at the collar of the prison garb I was put into. 

 I shook my hoof hand at him, " N-No, I'm fine... Just a bit stressed out haha..." I told him as he nodded and scooted closer to me. Before I could protest, the bird hybrid wrapped his wings around me causing my once rapid heart beat to slow down. 

 I slowly started to close my strained eye as Grian let out a soft sigh, " You probably haven't slept for a couple of days now... I'm sorry for stressing you out." he whispered as I nodded, " It's... " my voice was growing more hoarse, " It's not... your fault." I told him as he nodded back.

 My whole was feeling more and more tired until I reclosed my eye and....

 ((A few days later brought to you by a babu Grian squeaking and being held by Doc))

 Everything was shaking as an explosion went off from around me. I didn't want to open my eyes. I didn't want to know what was happening now. 

 All that I know is that I'm warm and comfortable for the first time in a long while. 

 My tail twitched as the shaking continued until loud voices forced me to curl up further. I could hear Grian make tired chirps until another explosion came from very close nearby. Somehow, I can still hear perfectly fine. 

 I let out a soft mumble as a large gasp came from behind the cage bars. Slowly, I opened my eye and looked towards the other side of the cage. Four people with blurry outlines and glowing eyes stared at me. 

 A soft mumble escaped from me as the tallest person in the group hurried over to me, and the man slowly started to gain more features until my eye widened slightly.

 " Rrrriiiiiiiik..." I slowly let go of Grian as Rik wrapped his arms around me and scooped me up. My tail twitched happily as Rik pulled me close to him, " Y-your eye..." he frowned as I nodded slowly. 

 " W-Where..." I blinked a couple of times, " Where's Ash?" I questioned as Rik turned around and left the cage in order to face another cage that I never noticed before. Within the cage was Jasmine and.... Ash.

 I frowned as I looked at Ash's condition. The bear hybrid's left leg had been removed just above his knee. Jasmine was running her hand through Ash's matted hair and gently kissing the tip of his black nose before picking him up. 

 Ash leaned heavily against Jasmine and slowly started to smile at the three of us. I looked further into the cage and tilted my head towards a man with a striped green and white hat and large wings and tail feathers.

 The man had his arms wrapped around a younger man that wore bandages over his eyes.

 " Shhhh, I've got you now Will...." The bird hybrid spoke in a quiet, reassuring voice as he made the blind man wrap his legs around him. A soft murmur escaped from the blind man, Will, as he nuzzled his head against the bird.

 " Do you have a good hold on your kid, Phil?" Jazzy questioned as the bird man named Phil nodded swiftly, " Yeah, he's got a death grip on me." he softly chuckled causing Will to shake his head, " Don't move Dad...." Will spoke tiredly as he continued to nuzzle the bird. 

 Jazzy turned her head, " Rendog, do you have Grian?" she questioned as the dog hybrid walked into my view with Grian in his arms. Grian's arms were crossed as he sighed happily, " Yep! Let's take everyone home." Ren beamed as his tail wagged.

 ((one last time skip, but it only skipped to nighttime.))

 It felt good being back in my own bed. My whole body including my eye had been properly looked at, cleaned, stitched up, and rebandaged. I looked towards Rik as he adjusted himself in his hammock.

 " R-Rik?" I looked towards him as he perked up and turned his head towards me, " What is it Price? Do you need food? Water?" he questioned with a tilt of his head.

 I slowly shook my head, " N-No, I just have a question..." I told him as he nodded and walked over to me on his peg leg. Rik sat down on my bed and looked down at me as I cleared my throat.

 " H-How did you find us?" I questioned as Rik thought for a moment, " Well, when Fake Ash tried to stab Jasmine, she used some water magic and killed him. That's when Fake Price jumped her, and she called me for help." he told the story as I grimaced.

 " Later, she summoned a magic trial, we picked up on Wilbur's and Grian's signatures and called for some members of the other servers to help us out." Rik looked down at me with a nod.

 My leg twitched as I slowly turned towards the taller man. Rik frowned slightly, " The bad news is that the clone Grian and Wilbur are still on the loose."

 I frowned as Rik patted my head with a reassuring look, " We're going to find them and take them out Price." his eyes narrowed as I nodded slowly. 

 " I... I just hope we can find them soon... I don't want anyone else to b-be missing..." I told him. After I finished speaking, I laid my head against my pillow and closed my eye, " I'm.... I'm going to go to bed." I mumbled as Rik let out a soft 'hmm'.

 " Sleep well Price..."
