Amnesia

Power and Strength

Grian and Xisuma weren't in the best position. After they were caught sending an interdimensional message, they were attacked by the guards and  thrown into solitary.

"Y'know... This is not where I was expecting to be after that call." Xisuma said hanging his arms out of the bars.

"Y'know, I didn't expect to be thrown into prison either." Grian retorted finding something thin and sharp in his pocket. He then snaked his hands through the bars and picked the lock.

"How are you always picking locks?"

"You get used to it. Besides, they've moved my execution date and Sam is my executioner." Grian said walking over to Xisuma's cell and began picking the lock.

"When's your execution date?"

"Tomorrow... That's why I got Ghost and Sav out last night."

"Grian..."

"Wha-AH." Grian shouted as his head slammed against the bars dropping the pin into Xisuma's cell.

"Look at this. The little corrupted is trying to escape by picking locks." The guard taunted in Grians' ear, "The Watcher counsel just approved for your execution for today."

Grian looked at Xisuma in a worried look as the guard pulled him off the bars and began walking him out. Xisuma getting close through the bars to watch as Grian was walked out.

Xisuma let out a breathy curse as he picked up the small pin.

I gotta get out of here and save Grian... I have to rely on the hermits to send in that object... 

He snaked his arms through the bars and tried to pick the lock where Grian left off. It wasn't as simple as Grian had made it look. But Grian was more experienced than him so Xisuma naturally knew that Grian would be quicker at this than he would. But when he finally did, Xisuma snuck out of Solitary and ran up to where the remaining of the Wings were.

"We just saw Xel being escorted out to the execution room. I thought his date wasn't until tomorrow." Drag asked, "And where are Ghost and Sav?"

"Grian broke Ghost and Sav out last night. He's gonna be executed by lethal injection. If we're doing this we have to do this now." Xisuma explained quickly, "Look, he needs our help, you guys in?"

"We may be a gang, but we respect Xel, and don't necessarily want to see him dead."

"I knew you guys had a heart. They're going to allow me in, and you guys remember what you need to do."

"We do. Go, Xisuma." Drag said, Xisuma nodded and ran over to the one of the guards who took him to Grian's execution room.

There he saw Grian laid on his back, his left arm extended out with restraints on every main part of his body. Grian looked through the glass and saw X. When the two made eye contact, Grian raised his right wrist and said something through sign language.

X    I-S    I-T    R-E-A-D-Y

When Xisuma nodded his head, Grian looked at him, tears almost perking his eyes.

X   I  L-O-V-E   Y-O-U

Xisuma gave a weak smile and signed back;

I   L-O-V-E   Y-O-U   T-O-O

One more exchanged look and Grian immediately signed;

N-O-W

The lights cut black and suddenly Xisuma was beside Grian taking out the needles and taking off the restraints. The two quickly ran out and met up with the rest of the wings out in the yard.

"Glad to see you're alive Xelqua." The twins said, "Where are we going from here?"

"I'm going to get you guys out of here so you can fly." Grian replied, "Let me see your wings."

"Wait, what're you going to do?"

"I'm going to have to be on foot." Grian said lifting the curse on their wings, "I can't exactly fly right now."

"Why?" Xisuma asked, his tone sounding worried and threatening.

"Because I've been grazed by a bullet. I am literally bleeding out as we speak, so we gotta move fast. They can't catch all of us. EnderWings, go. Get out of here." Grian said, "The wards are down, find your home portals and go."

"May the light guide you, Grian." The EnderWings said, Grian gave a light smile as they all flew off to their own home portals. Grian and Xisuma both exchanging a look and began climbing the fence, and they both ran through the forest and eventually met up with Ghost and Sav at the edge.

"You guys look terrible." Ghost said, "What happened?"

"I was nearly executed." Grian said catching his breath and pulling a hand to his side, "Where's the portal?"

"In the cave."

"We don't have much time. Go."
