Winged Beasts

IV

Scar, Xisuma, BDubs, Impulse, Tango, False, Ren and Zed were all laying in beds recovering from Grian's healing processes. They all laid unconscious, breathing steadily as their bodies recovered. IV tubes in their arms and bandages on where they were cut or stabbed. 

Grian was quick at healing but there was still some unresolved problems lying in their systems. So the gang, Doc, Joe, Keralis and Stress were all giving them regeneration potions and healing potions.

Mumbo paced around the other room knowing that he was one of the only hermits spared from the Watchers wrath. 

"MUMBO, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HERMIT, STOP PACING." Iskall shouted. "I know you're worried about what they're going to do to Grian. We all are, but right now we have to focus on them." Iskall said gesturing to the injured hermits in the other room. 
"I know... I know, I'm just worried about what's going to happen next. We can't just let them keep Grian. He's one of us." Mumbo said looking back at the injured hermits in the other room. 

"X, what're you doing? Get back to bed man." Said a muffled Doc. Xisuma opened the door. 

"Xisuma! You need to rest. Go back to bed." Mumbo said as he saw him lean against the wall. Doc tried grabbing him to help him back to bed but he refused.

"Stop. I know what I need. But what you guys need is to go after Grian." He coughed, "That portal is still open. Iskall, you and Mumbo should take Cub, Wels and Etho and get Grian."

"X come on man." Doc said as he pried Xisuma off the wall and walked back to his bed. 
"Mumbo.. Iskall... Go." Xisuma said as he passed out again, Doc putting the IV tube back in. 
"Guys, go. We'll take care of them. Be careful. When you get back... let us know. Okay?" Keralis said calmly. The two nodded and ran out.

"Wels, Cub, Etho, let's go. We got a gremlin to save." Iskall said tossing swords at them.

~Grian~

"STOP...!" Grian shouted as he was thrown to the ground. "I don't want this. Please, just stop!" He cried.

"Get. Up. Worm." The watcher above him said. Grian did as he was told only to have his face pushed into the wall. "OW! You're hurting me.. Stop! Please!" Grian yelled when his hands were forced behind his back. He was immobilized, he couldn't move. He whimpered as the beasts behind him violated his own personal space. "STOP!" 

After that assault was over he fell unconscious. He was thrown into his room on his bed as his breaths began to slowly decrease and become normal again, making small noises as he breathed.

While Grian regained consciousness he realized he was in a bathroom in a cold bath. "What's going on?" He mumbled.

"Oh my gosh. You scared the life out of me Grian."
"Jonya?" Grian said weakly.
"Yeah sweetheart it's me. After releasing you and your friends I got into a LOT of trouble. Then I was told to wash you up after they... well, y'know." Jonya said, putting a damp washcloth on Grian's neck slowly washing the blood off. "Sorry it's so cold but sometimes it's what we have to work with."
"Yeah I know.."
"Does anything hurt?"
"My side... It feels like I was stabbed." Grian mumbled.
"Well that's because you were, I had to put you in cold water so that it would slow your bleeding down."

Grian looked groggily toward his watcher friend with one eye open. "You know Grian... You and I are the only good things that came out of this watcher mess. Here. Let me help you get dressed and to bed so you can rest up." Jonya did exactly that and carried Grian to bed.

She stayed by Grian's side until she heard banging on the door. She went over and opened it.

"What do you want?" She snarled.
"He has more punishment to receive."
"He's still unconscious. He isn't going anywhere with you right now."
"Fine, notify us when he wakes."
"In your dreams." Jonya said closed the door behind her.
