Roman, Logan and Patton had each gotten comfortable in their cell, with Patton leaning against Romans shoulder as he and Logan held hands, all three of them miserable and staring out of the cell into the hallway.

They had each tried to open up their cell, but none of them could get it open, and the window was to small to squeeze though, with or without the bars on it.

Eventually a group of guards walked down the hallway and stopped front of the bars, before turning and unlocking their cell.

"Get up." The head guard said in a stern and gruff voice.

"Where are we going?" Patton asked as the three of them stood up slowly, the other two guards grabbing Patton and Logan while the head guard grabbed Roman.

The guard raised his eyebrow at him, as if along if they really needed him to spell it out for them, letting them know exactly where they were going by that simple gesture.

"Oh..." he said softly, looking like he was going to be sick.

Logan and Roman wanted to comfort him, but they were restrained by their own guards, and weren't handling the information any batter than Patton was anyway.

They were soon then lead down the hall, past the Stabbington brothers again, along with all the other cells as they walked slowly to the courtyard.

A small glimmer caught Patton's eye as they were lead down the final hallway, and he turned to look at a small alcove in the wall that started at Patton's hip, and was no taller than the windows on the other side of the hallway.
On the small ledge was a small and glittery ceramic unicorn that was strangely familiar, sitting there innocently.

He brushed it off and continued walking, trying to walk a little closer to either Roman or Logan, but the guard holding his arm prevents that.

Suddenly all the windows and doors around them slammed shut, much to their and the guards surprise, prompting them to stop in front of the Now closed door they were about to walk through.

"What's this?" The head guard, who had been holding Roman, said before turning to the door they were about the walk through, and slamming his fist against it.
"Open up!" He said sternly.

Suddenly, the little slot on the door opened, showing a familiar red nosed little old man standing there, grinning smugly, showing his many missing teeth.

"What's the password?" He asked before quickly closing the slot.

"What?" The guard said in confusion.

The little man opened the slot again. "Nope." He said with a laugh he closed the slot again.

"Open this door!" The guard demanded.

The man opened the slot again and scoffed. "Not even close." He said before closing the slot again.

"You have three seconds!" The guard snapped, glaring at the door threateningly.

"One!"

The guard holding Patton was snatched away through a door that opened and then immediately snapped shut, shocking the three teens, but the other two guards didn't seem to notice.

"Two!"

The guard who had been holding Logan was also snatched away, Through the window next to him, but the head guard still didn't notice, but until the clang if the mans helmet hitting the ground hit his ears.

"Three!" The man said as he turned around to look at what the sound was, only to see Roman, Logan and Patton standing there, still cuffed, with no guards in sight.

The three shrugged at him innocently, before looking behind him.

Then the door opened and a large thug with a metal helmet that covered his face stepped out, frying pan in hand.

He raised it above his head and hit the guard with a loud clang, who was promptly knocked unconscious by the hit and collapsed to the ground.

"Frying pans," Roman said with a grin. "Who knew, right?"

The thug laughed before stepping forward and snapping the chains of their cuffs for them.

Suddenly the door behind them burst open, and a large group of guards rushed in with their swords drawn, a loud battle cry coming from them as they charged the three teens and thug.

The thug quickly ushered the three down the next hallway as they were quickly chased by the guards, who were soon distracted by the mime-thug and the thug who liked unicorns they'd seen at the Snuggly Duckling, the pair quickly knocking several of them out, literally.

They continued to run down the hallway, before bursting out into the courtyard which had the noose they were previously going to be hanged on, and watched as several more guards came pouring down the stairs on the opposite side, looking like a colony of ants rushing out to protect the nest.

The three were then dragged towards the wall, were a rope hung down leading up to the top of the wall, several thugs also pouring out of the building to attack the guards.

"Now you're gunna go up," the thug with the hook told them, "you're not going to stop until you're up, and you're just going to go with whatever's up there." He said before charging away to go fight the guards with a battle cry, his hook raised above his head.

The three stood frozen for a few seconds, staring in awe before quickly beginning to scramble up the rope, Roman first, followed by Patton and then Logan.

The three quickly made their way up the rope, struggling a little bit since some guards decided to follow them up, and almost managed to pull Logan down by grabbing his feet.

When they reached the top, and all three were over the wall, Roman untied the rope, sending the guards that had been climbing after them back down.

They heard an impatient huff, and turned to see Thomas standing there, with Remy on his back, both of them looking pretty smug.

"Thomas, and Remy." Patton said softly as a smile broke out on his face.

"You brought them here?" Logan asked, gaining a nod in return from Thomas.

"Thank you," Roman said, and the horse hugged as if to brush it off.

"No really, thank you," Roman said sincerely. "I feel like, maybe this whole time we've just been misunderstanding each other, and we're really just..." Roman trailed off at the deadpan look Thomas was giving him.

"Uh, Yeah, you're right," he said. "We should probably get going." He said with a small blush.

The three teens quickly got onto Thomas's back, just in time as several guards came out of the door behind them and began to fire arrows at the trio, prompting Thomas to start running, with Remy flying after them.

But another group of guards was coming from around the corner, leaving them trapped wit no where to go.

Thomas didn't slow down though, and continued running towards the edge of the wall..

"Thomas..." Roman said slowly, wondering what the horse was planning.

Thomas ignored him, still running as the edge of the wall drew closer.

"Thomas!" Patton yelled in fear, the edge was almost there, as well as the guards who were almost at the corner.

Thomas huffed and ran even faster before leaping over the edge, ignoring the shouts from the three teens above, and just barely missing being hit by a couple of arrows from the guards behind them.

He landed on a near by roof, and slid down the side, tearing up the shingles as he did, before leaping down and hitting the ground running, dodging the shock and slightly frightened townsfolk as they ran by.

"Remy!" Logan called, gaining a squawk in return form the bird.

"Fly ahead to Virgil! Let him know we're coming!" He told the bird, who cawed again before flying ahead of them and across the bridge.

"Alright Thomas," Roman began, "let's see how fast you can run." He said as he prompted Thomas to run even faster, tearing their way though the town and across the bridge before entering the woods, leaping over logs and around trees, following Virgil's scent in order to find the way back to the secret entrance.

The three teens hoped Virgil was okay, not know what state he was in or if he was even back at the tower.

All they could do was hurry to get to him, and hope he was safe.

And hope he'd forgive them.
