Morning came around far too quickly for Sam's liking that night Harrison was taken back to the other cell upon his request. The pale skin man was sitting on his bed despite the pain from the wounds from the two days ago. When the guards came with Destrian Sam suddenly grinned before he asked with a mocking tone" what's wrong Lord of the Mutts is the big bad wolf afraid to enter alone?" Destrian glared as he waved the guards to be on standby as Sam said, looking a bit excited" oh what wolf you finally going to stop being all bark and bite for once. Come on then why don't you enter the fox's den see who has the worse bite without your fucking mutts or are you too afraid that I'll bite too hard?" The other three were watching the encounter with surprised eyes before Richard whispered:" I think he finally snapped." Destrian said, opening the cell not bothering to close it behind him" I don't need anyone to fight for me you fucking fox." The dishwater-blonde man got up wearing a smirk as the glasses-wearing noble came over, drawing his fist back to make a strike. Fighting through the pain that lashed at Sam from the wounds he dunked before tacking the noble throwing his weight as hard as he could. The two collided with the bars Destrian let out a hiss of air taking the full impact of Sam followed by taking the brunt force of the collision against the bars.
The grey-eyed noble grabbed Sam by the neck after the initial contact pinning the smaller to the ground he put both hands around the thief's neck. Applying pressure he watched grinning as the thief struggled to get free Destrian and the people who have had anything stolen had waited for this day for so very long. Sam tried to pry Destrian's hands off his neck when his foot got close enough to Destrian's side as darkness started to cloud his vision Sam put all his effort into giving the noble a sharp kick in the side. The hands that clamped down on his neck vanished leaving him gasping for air coughing a couple of times he scrambled to his feet turning to see Destrian gripping his side. Seeing it as an opportunity for revenge something that wasn't usual for the thief he grabbed the noble by the hair before slamming his fist into Destrian's face with all the force he could muster. The noble let out a cry of pain as Sam's fist hit his jaw knocking the glasses off in the process with the slightly taller male jerked his head away. The guards looked as if they had no interest in stopping him knowing that their Lord had ordered them to stay out of the cell. The thief yanked the now practically blind noble to his feet yanking a set of keys out of his pocket disguising the motion with a hit to the noble's stomach.
Destrian doubled over in pain as Sam quickly hid the keys in his tattered trench coat's pocket panting the shorter male threw the taller out of the cell. Harrison quickly yanked Oliver back as he and Richard stepped back just as Destrian collided with the bars letting out a groan the noble slid down the bars. The two guards quickly shut and locked the door as Samuel went to go for another strike only to be stopped growling at the bars of his cell. He shouted, as the guards quickly took the noble away" never mess with a fox when you're just a pampered fucking dog you damn moron I don't hesitate to fucking bite remember that you son of a bitch!" Sam let out a snort as the main door closed before shakily grabbing the keys it took three tries before he found the correct one. Unlocking his cell he opened the door breathing heavily as the pain started to finally get to him he stumbled over to the group's cell unlocking it with shaking hands. As soon as the door was opened Oliver quickly opened it catching Sam as the short male started to fall. Harrison said as Richard came over to help Oliver support the cyan eyed male" quickly you two we need to get out of here before that noble gets back here." Leading the way Harrison would check the corridors while Richard and Oliver were nearly dragging a stumbling Samuel between them.
It took almost half an hour for the small group manages to finally get out of the castle before they made their way back to the hideout to collect their equipment. Behind them, in the city, there was incomprehensive shouting Ollie said, glancing over his shoulder ever so often" they really must hate him if we can hear them shouting." Richard said, adjusting his grip on Sam as the short man finally fainted" we told you back in the cells we weren't joking in any way. I'm just surprised that Sam taunted that moron to enter a fight in his condition I know however he is quite a determined to protect. The first time he was going to beat the hell out of someone though seems like the last session of Destrian's was one of the worst that gave him a motive. Now then kid lets try to hurry we can't afford to get caught again when we get back you grab your stuff Harrison will take Sam you'll be with me." Upon reaching the house they quickly got to work grabbing all the necessary equipment while Harrison was getting onto his horse making sure he adjusted the saddle enough to be able to keep Samuel on the horse with him. Oliver quickly grabbed his bag collecting any of the money that had fallen onto the floor. Richard collected some food that didn't need to be cooked such as fruit, bread, and jerky. On his way out he picked up a medical kit knowing Harrison would want to have it to treat Sam's wounds.
Richard attached his bag and the kit to his horse's saddle before gently lifting Sam enough for Harrison to grab easing the unconscious man in front of him. Richard and Oliver mounted the other horse before the owners snapped the reins to get the horses into a gallop. Ollie quickly clung onto Rich as the horse lurched under them as Harrison lead the way making sure to avoid the path most would think they'd take. It'd be a day's travel however knowing that if they'd rest there was a larger chance that they'd be found therefore Harrison told them" we'll continue to the village that's the only safe place there is. Oliver you will need to tell us where your place is I hate to say this but we can't stop for anything or it'll increase the chance we're found." Rich and Ollie shared a look before they both agreed knowing the chance of another escape is next to nothing. While riding the group would sometimes hear shouts from most likely guards forcing them to hide in denser trees or change their direction enough to avoid them. Nearing the village was when Sam finally started to come to his completion was better than a couple of days ago when he was nearly as pale as a sheet. Sam opened his eyes looking around he asked, after trying to fully wake up" where are we what's going on?" Oliver said as Richard moved his horse closer" we're almost at the village Sam we got out we're free and almost home." Sam let out a sigh of relief before closing his eyes a small smile tugged at the corners of his mouth as he said:" that's great news."
