Matthew finished getting ready, going into the room and giving his cat a big squeeze before having to depart for the day. He gave Carroll a kiss on the forehead and whispered to him that it would all be alright, he was leaving for a little while but that Jack would be here to keep him company. He gathered his things and finally made his way out of the door, pausing briefly at the threshold as he looked back at the empty bed and gave it a warm smile before trekking forward.

Once downstairs he saw just how lively everyone already was. Eating and drinking, discussing plans as if this was some Tuesday afternoon. Find which ways were the best was to distract and if they were going to be destructive in the wake of it all. He gathered up a plate full of food, wondering how often they would have such a luxury on this road and began shoveling it away. "Often the best solution is one in which there's two answers. We can set the cattle free and have the guards swarm after them, but there will be those that remain and stand fast. Thats when the pyrotechnics come in. It'll be a two part assault to spread them thin making them even less awares."

---

---

"You hungry little guy?" she asked the puppy that seemed to be wanting food as much as she was. Rosalia proceeded to get her own plate dished up, but got some extra bacon and sausage on her plate which she then set off to the side so that Lucky could eat it. There wasn't really any dog food or something, so she might as well give him some food off of the table to eat. What sort of person would she be if she didn't grab at least a few things off of the table for the puppy? A horrible person that's what.

Rosalia listened to the words that were said as they began to discuss what the actual plan was going to be for the day for the rescue mission or whatever. She was going on the distraction team, so the idea of them drawing out a number of guards was an interesting one, but she wasn't entirely sure how exactly they were going to accomplish that. Of course, she noticed that Colby's idea was to instantly set fires everywhere, "Last I checked we aren't trying to burn down the city, especially since there are a bunch of people who aren't involved in this whole thing or whatever, you know innocent people who could get caught if a fire got out of hand? That sounds like a fantastic idea," she said, adding the last part sarcastically.

Jack rolled his eyes slightly, "Yeah, that sort of thing in the morning is not what I'd want either," he said as he followed after Megan out of the room and towards the main area where everyone else was. Jack made a disgusted face when Isabella made her comment, "That is disgusting and don't even joke about that seriously," he said to her, clearly annoyed with that. Sure, cracking jokes and all were fine, but he drew the line at something like that, since that was disgusting to even think about.

Of course, that was no excuse for what his sister then did next, first starting with her stabbing Isabella's hand with a fork. And then she proceeded to add salt to the injury. "...Meg, I hated what she said as much as you, but that wasn't necessary..." he said to her, now getting annoyed with both of them. His life would be so much easier if the two of them tried not to push each other's buttons, but that didn't seem possible no matter what happened. He wasn't even paying attention to what was being said around them about the plan.

Sierra and Layla quickly snapped to attention when they both heard Isabella letting out a loud scream, and then a bunch of cursing in spanish. "That was a little bit harsh." Sierra whispered to Willow as she watched Isabella getting up and making her way over to get the fork out of her hand and then started to pour some water on it. Isabella turned to glare at Megan, but didnt really say anything as Hansel when to a first aide kit of sorts and offered her a bandage which she quickly wrapped it up.

Lucky didnt really seem to care realy as the little pupper just continued to eat away at his breakfast, sounding really happy and content, Taylor was sort of quiet for the most part as well, just as surprised and shocked at what Megan had just done. Merlin turned to look at the others for a moment before finally speaking up. "If you two are done being petty, should we continue discussing the plan?" He asked before looking at everyone else. "If you are going to do a fire, it has to be small and controlled, but big enough to make the distraction believable." Merlin said, before Gretel spoke up. "There are a bunch of stables around and in the prison, so we can do that to as well." She pointed out.

"So, we should get going right away once you are all done eating, if you are on distraction go with Gretel and Merlin here, and those on rescue can come with me." Hansel said as he grabbed some food as well before eating it rather quickly and getting up. "I'll be outside once you are all ready." Hansel said as he went and left the inn. "I'm ready to get going." Layla said as she gently nudged both Rose and Cass as she quickly got up and made her way outside following shortly behind Hansel more than eager to get the show on the road as well to.

Rose grabbed a cup of coffee. "I don't have a split mind. I just want to make sure the distraction is good enough to keep us from being overwhelmed. I think fire is a terrible idea. We don't have any idea how fast that could spread to homes of innocent people." She glared at Colby who didn't even seem to notice or care. "The animal idea is pretty good though Willow." She was about to say something else when the Excalibur girl literally stabbed Isabella, "Was that necessary? Jeeze. Are you okay Isabella?"

It did seem that the fire idea was being taken up though. She sighed and gave in. As long as it was controlled. "Merlin if the fire gets out of hand can you control it at all? Keep people safe?" She asked. Once she finished her coffee she followed Hansel, checking her gear as she did. This was going to be intense but it was for her mother.

---

---

---

---

His idea had been a throw-away idea but it was being accepted as the plan. Though a couple of people had issues with the idea. He really had just been spitballing ideas. If this went sideways he was going to be blamed for it. He downed his own cup of coffee and followed Gretal outside.

"I don't want to burn down any houses or anything." He mumbled. "Can an illusion be made of fire?" He asked Merlin and Mathew. Mathew had the magic book and Merlin...was well Merlin. If anyone in their group had an idea of what to do it would be one of them.

---

---

Cassiopeia’s eyes widened as she watched Megan pull a fork out of Isabella’s hand. ”Remind me not to piss her off,” she whispered to her sister and Rose. Cassiopeia finished the rest of her meal, avoiding staring too much at the modern day Wednesday. Cassiopeia thought she was a cool girl, not conforming to the normal but perhaps she was a bit, much.
The teams were ready to split off and head out. Cassi wasn’t really all for the idea of a fire but if they could make it work safely, then she couldn’t have much say. She had her own things to worry about. She stood when Layla nudged her. Cassiopeia smiled at Rose. ”Let’s go save your mom,” Cassi said and boldly took Rose’s hand and pulled her along; although, she did try talking to Merlin about the distraction team’s plan again.

---

---

Matthew spoke up, branching off of the idea of Willow’s and Colby’s. She smiled, grateful that someone else thought her idea was a good one. Two distractions were better than one she supposed and it would split the guards attention. A scream distracted her and Willow’s eyes widened in alarm when she saw a fork in Isabella’s hand. Megan didn’t just really do that did she? Willow averted her gaze and nodded to Sierra’s words. ”I hardly think it was a mistake,” she agreed.
Willow picked at her food, not having much of an appetite but when talk of heading out started, she grabbed a muffin for later and stood. ”I guess I will see you later,” she said to Sierra. ”Good luck.” She smiled before she turned to join Gretel, Merlin and the rest of the distraction group.

---

---

"I know it wasn't necessary, brother of mine," Megan said, staring at Jack dead in the eyes. She knew that she didn't need to stab Isabella and rub salt in the wound. She didn't act out of necessity, she acted out of wanting retribution, revenge. It was plain and simple. Just because she had a magic sword now and supposedly royal heritage didn't mean Megan was going to let that change her. She was a medical examiner - she liked watching horror movies and fencing and drinking way too much coffee and staying up far too late. She followed Isabella with her eyes, smirking ever so slightly with satisfaction.

"I'm done, yes, as long as she is," Megan promised. She finished eating what food she wanted, before wiping at her eyes slightly, missing coffee for a brief moment. But she was still alert. It hadn't been her first time being deprived of caffeine when she had things to do and she doubted it would be the last. She stood up from the table, her hand on the sheath of her sword, and she walked outside after Hansel.

---

---

"Knowing you, guessing you don't regret a thing do you?" he asked Megan with a slight eye roll. Sometimes she could be a bit ridiculous, but he also knew her, and knew perfectly well that she didn't like Isabella at all. Which meant she didn't seem to really find much wrong with what she had done. In his opinion she was over reacting just a little bit, even if he didn't really like the "joke" that Isabella had been trying to make with regards to them. That was just disgusting in his mind.

There was one thing he was annoyed about, and that was that coffee didn't seem to exist in this place, which meant he wasn't going to be able to stay caffeinated like he typically did. Truthfully he was fairly certain that he was addicted to coffee, but it didn't typically become a problem. With the hours he typically worked made it so he practically lived off of the stuff. Oh well, he'd see how that would go eventually. He finished up his food and followed after Hansel and his sister, more then ready to get going.

Rosalia giggled slightly seeing the little puppy eat his food happily, and she grabbed a little bit of food for herself and more or less scarfed it down as she listened to the conversation. A part of her wanted to give Megan a high five for that stunt she pulled with Isabella, since that was something she probably would have done herself, plus it seemed like Isabella had deserved it. That had definitely been entertaining and a bit of a distraction from the idiot who seemed to be thinking that fire was the best solution to everything. You couldn't solve all of your problems by burning things down!

Her attention was pulled away when it was mentioned that they were about to get going, and she looked at the puppy by her, and she looked at the puppy, "Okay Lucky, you have to stay here okay? I don't want you to get hurt," she said softly to the dog as she finished up her food and set the dog off to the side slightly so he could finish up with his food. "Anyway I'm with the plan of unleash the animals, since there is less of a risk for people to potentially get caught in the crossfire, but that's just my opinion."

"I'll see you later be safe." Sierra said giving Willow a friendly smile as she started to follow Gretel out onto the streets along with Merlin. He turned to look at the others for a moment, asking if he could make an illusion with fire and nodded towards them. "I can though the distraction wont be as effective people will notice things like the lack of heat things like that with an illusion spell." Merlin warned as he walked alongside Gretel.

"I think we should do fire as a last resort." Sierra said, she prefered with using the animals or illusions as a distraction as she continued to follow the others down the street. She watched some people going on about their business like usual, Sierra looked over her shoulder at the others for a moment she just hoped that they wouldnt really get into a fight really.

---

---

---

Layla gave Rose a bit of a smile as she followed the rescue team out of the tavern and started to follow alongside Hansel as he opened up what looked to be a sewer grate and jumped down inside. Layla did the same thing as well as she landed in about knee height water, letting out a bit of an annoyed sigh. "That is really nasty.." Layla said as she looked towards Hansel as she started to follow shortly behind him.

She paused for a moment as Layla watched a large group of rats moving along the ledges, and cringed slightly it reminded her a little bit of something from the Dark Ages. "Lets hope that none of them have the Black Plague or anything like that." Layla said mostly to herself, getting sick like that wasnt something that she thought she would ever die that way. "So how far is it through the sewers anyway?" Layla asked Hansel looking over towards him. "It's about a half hour walk if you know where you are going." He answered, as Layla nodded a little bit. Everyone could still hear the sounds of people topside going on about their usual day as well to, she just hoped that the guards wont come down here and search. Sierra however would see a little makeshift shelter of a few homeless people who had made themselves at home.

Matthew wasn't sure where in the sentence they got lost in translation. How 'we should use fire as a distraction' somehow became 'lets light the town ablaze.' Not once was it mentioned that they would set the town on fire, or harm innocent people. Though if they truly cared about innocent people they'd know how dangerous a stampede caused by released cattle could be. Or thr damage they could do in such a short time which would harm their way of living. But that wasn't the point of argument, fire was and they seemed to forget they had a wizard who could most likely create it and control it. Or at least set off small bursts from his hands to help gather attention from the guards.

Matthew picked at his food and wondered if perhaps everyone was against the idea solely because Colby had been thr one to suggest it. No one else seemed to offer any better thoughts and the rest were preoccupied with Wednesday Adam's stabbing someone. Putting aside why that was extremely wrong, did she not realise the jeopardy she could put her or thr mission in by harming someone just before it? Irritated Matthew shoveled the rest of his meal and headed out behind Gretel.

Rose let herself get pulled away by Cass. She'd just have to trust that the other group did their job. She squeezed Cass's hand. When she climbed down into the sewer she gagged a bit before gathering her wits. "Holy crow this is nasty." She said. They had a long way to go. She remembered the scene from Shawshank Redemption and smiled briefly to herself.

She pulled her top up to cover her nose and checked that her gear was out of the muck. Well, at least she'd smell like she'd belong here. As soon as she could she was looking forward to a hot shower. And then maybe a long bath. She wasn't usually one for self-indulgences, but it would be a nice reward for walking through literal shit for thirty minutes. She had committed the map of the sewers to memory as best as she could, but she'd rather have Hansel be in charge of leading.

---

---

The cats were safe in their room. Colby waited for Gretel's direction. He really felt like his idea had been twisted. He had literally been thinking like a hay cart or something. If Assains creed taught him anything medieval towns had tons of those around. He stood there waiting for everyone to join his arms crossed. When Matthew joined he relaxed a little.

"What can you do with that book? Like how much can you control fire, or make an illusion of it?" Colby wished he had spent some time looking at the book. He was into magic too, he just hadn't had a chance to look at the book. What was he capable of? Could he cast magic? He knew a bit about the Chiseire cat but Merlin still hadn't told them if they gained any abilities from their linage. How were they supposed to be an effective group if they didn't know what they were capable of?

---

---

Cassiopeia descended into the sewers after Rose and immediately regretted it. She covered her nose, feeling her stomach heave and shut her eyes. Praying to whomever that she could keep her meal down and get through this. Cassiopeia watched the rats and who knows whatever else was floating in the water until she heard Hansel. She released her nose, breathing out as she exclaimed. ”Half an hour?!” She got a whiff of the sewers again and quickly covered her nose, wishing they had more than just their sleeves to cover their mouth and nose. Cassiopeia could almost taste the smell it was that rank.
She followed the group into the sewers, keeping her face firmly covered and would only speak if absolutely necessary. Half an hour was probably going to feel like half a day down here. Cassi didn’t think she would be able to bathe enough to get the smell off of her. Not to mention the condition her clothes would be in. She was suddenly envious of Artemis upstairs in their room snug under the covers or watching birds flying.

---

---

The groups parted ways and Cassiopeia smiled, following closely behind Merlin and Gretel as they made their way. It seemed everyone was on board for releasing animals but not so much the fire. Still, they were going to go through with both. At least Colby was still hell bent to light something on fire. Merlin presented a problem in saying that people wouldn’t get all excited if there wasn’t a fire source. She supposed in a land full of magic, a magical fire wasn’t something to be nervous about. A real fire though could cause destruction and potentially death.
”There must be a way to fake that as well so we don’t start a real fire. Pile up fuel and straw bales or something,” Willow noted. As the children of all these famous people and helpers of the people, Willow didn’t think going around causing destruction on day one of being in their true home was a wise idea. The people may turn on them, thinking they were no good or rouges rather than heroes. Willow knew the difference between Batman and Superman. Most people tended to forgive Superman more than they did Batman.

Megan couldn't help but smile slightly at the sight of the entrance to the sewers. It was really a classic - so many books and movies involved the heroes crawling through the sewers in order to accomplish a goal. While of course this was all real, they were in a land of stories and it felt like a little homage to that trope. Of course, had Megan been writing a story and using it, she would have had everyone die inside of the sewers to turn it on its head - she sighed slightly just thinking about it. She loved movies that got really graphic with the gore, even the cheesy ones where people's blood was so pressurized it came out like a garden hose.

She jumped down after one of the girls, water splashing up as she landed. It came to a bit above her knees and it felt cold and grimy, but she didn't mind. She had felt far stranger things in a morgue. She glanced at the rats around the edges and couldn't help but wonder, after the girl mentioned the plague - did this fairytale world also experience the same plagues they did? Were their antibodies going to be useless here, if all of the diseases were a bit different? "How often do you experience plagues here? And what's the standard of medicine?" she asked.

---

---

He looked at Hansel as he opened up a sewer grate down below, and to say that he wasn't entirely thrilled to be dropping down into the sewers or something was a bit of an understatement. Jack didn't care much for wandering around in that sort of place, but then again he had walked through a catacomb earlier that day, so he figured this couldn't be that much worse. As long as no one in the group kicked a skull or whatever else that they might come across while down there then they likely would be alright. Here was hoping anyway.

Dropping down after everyone else, he wasn't too sure where they likely were going really. Everyone else was asking questions regarding what the plan was and how far of a walk it would be through the sewers. He somewhat hoped that it would be the half an hour walk since Hansel hopefully knew what direction they were heading. Of course he had to fight back the urge to laugh at his sister's instant questions regarding disease and medicine. She always had been a bit more on the morbid side with her thoughts, and he was honestly completely used to it.

---

---

"Just drop the idea about causing a fire already. If we really need to then yeah, we probably could do it and if we're extremely lucky not burn down the entire city. The releasing the animals thing is waaaaaaaay more of a simple solution and it is also a little less likely to have anyone get seriously injured," Rosalia added, still not sure why people kept mentioning a damn fire when more then a few people had seemed to agree that it was a bad idea. If something was a bad idea and several people agreed with it then why the hell would you keep bringing it up? It was just getting beyond annoying in her mind.

She followed along after the others, not too sure what all to really say with regards to everything else. Since no one around here listened to common sense, that much was obvious. Rosalia watched as people milled about the town going about their day, and wondered what was going through their heads, and if what they all would think about the chaos that they were going to have to endure that they were going to be causing. Probably run off or something like that, clear the streets and hide. Well if trigger happy over there had his way they might burn the city down or something like that.

"Maybe we just start some kind of scuffle could do it or something to?" Sierra suggested as she continued to follow behind Gretel and Merlin, looking around at some of the little food stands and whatnot as people sold their wares. She didnt think that the whole fire thing was a good idea at the moment, but if it was the only way that they could make a good distraction then it would be what they had to do then. "Maybe we could set the pyro guy on fire instead?" Taylor whispered to Rosalia so that way she was the only person who could actually hear her and laughed slightly.

"We'll do whatever it takes to make the rescue work, I dont really care if we have to set he whole town on fire or not." Gretel said giving a slight shrug, they continued to walk along the streets until they were in front of the prison. She looked around there were a lot of guards in the area which didnt look good at all really for them. There was a large set of stables on the far side of the street, with lots of horses just minding their own business. And then were was also a few stacks of hay laying nearby the stables to as well, Gretel looked at everyone else. "Alright time for a distraction do anything you think is going to get peoples attention." Gretel said as she started to make her way towards the stables.

Sierra decided to follow shortly behind her to see what she was going to do, she noticed an oil lamp nearby and reached for it, Sierra didnt want to start a fire but if it was going to get a lot of attention she was going to do it. Sierra found a small shack just behind the stables and then dropped the oil lamp down as a fire started to happen.

---

---

---

"Yes it's going to take thirty minutes, no other quicker way really, also keep your voice down." Hansel said towards Cass as he continued to lead he group down the sewers. He turned to look at Megan for a moment asking about plagues and what they had against them, and gave a slight shrug as he continued to move. "We have healers who usually tend to anyone whos sick, whether it's through magic or alchemy. Plagues happen every so often, though im not sure when the last one was it's been awhile." He said.

"Well it is a sewer after all it is pretty nasty." Layla said jokingly towards Rose as she continued to move through the nasty looking muck as she looked around as Hansel led them down a turn until there was a set of ladders, and then started to climb them. Layla followed shortly after him as she climbed up and then. Once they were there Hansel motioned for everyone to stop, he looked in front of a grate that overlooked a courtyard of sorts. "Just wait a little bit." Hansel said softly as he watched a guard walking past the grate, he noticed some smoke but the guards hadnt noticed just yet either.

---

Matthew suddenly became very shy as Colby asked him about how much he could do with the book. It felt as if all atention was on him and to be honest he hadn't had much of a time to look through it. He was so exhausted from the previous days work that he had just passed out the night before instead of pouring over the grimoire like he wanted to. "W-w-well, truth be told I-i h-havent had a lot of time to look it over. All I know so far is how to create it and weaponize it, not huge on the control yet." His eyes cast downwards as he explained, feeling like he would be disappointing his friend with that answer. That is until someone cut in and decided her two cents were worth it. Maddy wasn't sure what was her deal but she seemed very off-putt by the notion of even speaking about an idea if it didn't suit her. They needed to work as a team and she wasn't helping.

He'd realised then it was the same girl who shoved Colby into the Enchanted Lake the other day and for a split second he could geel.heat rising in his palms. He caught himself, calming down and shifting his attention elsewhere, anywhere. Before he knew it there was a thin lazy trail of black wisping smoke teetering up into the air. A distraction plan started and none the wiser, hopefully who ever had done so was high tailing it out of there. "Fire! Fire in the back!" Matthew jumped and pointed towards the location in hopes that the guards would see and make their way over and away from Gretel's location so that she may finish what she had to do.

---

---

Cassiopeia grumbled to herself as they walked. She tried to think of happier thoughts as they walked through. She ran through all of her Tarentino movies and which one she would rather be in than walking through the sewers right now. The trick seemed to work though for they reached a ladder that Hansel climbed. Cassiopeia frowned when they were told to wait.
Cassiopeia looked at Rose and nudged her. ”Excited to meet your mom? Do you think she’ll be like she is in the books we read or something different?” It was very likely none of their parents would be the same as they were in the books they read. As long as they weren’t worse or evil, Cassiopeia figured they would be in the clear.

---

---

Gretel was content with having a fire, as long as it worked and served as a distraction. Willow sighed and focused on the task at hand. There seemed to be a few guards in the street but Willow wasn’t sure if it was usual or more than what was to be expected. The group started to separate but Willow followed behind Sierra and Gretel to the stables.
Sierra left but Willow stayed and concentrated on the animals. She didn’t know much about horses but she knew they at least needed to be free. Willow started to go around and untie the horses from their posts. She tried to make it look as casual as possible while trying to figure out how to spook them out of the stables. The fire Sierra started would probably do that trick, Willow just had to make sure she was out of the way of the horses before they stampeded over her.

---

---

---

---

Rose smiled at Layla's joke. She didn't want to say anything in response since they were sneaking. Rose didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to them. She was nervous and caught whiffs of smoke through the stench of the sewers. Rose did not want to think about disease while walking through that muck but there was going Wednesday Adams asking horrific questions.

When Cass asked if she was excited to meet her mom she nodded. "I am. I wonder what she is like." She whispered as quietly as she could manage and hope that Cass would still hear her. Rose was excited to meet her mom but more concerned at the moment of getting to that point. She didn't want to think about anything after meeting her. Too much was between her and that.

---

---

---

---

Colby threw his hands up giving up. No one was agreeing on anything. Some said the fire was a terrible idea. So he had tried coming up with a better idea. And people were just shooting it down. And then Gretal said the fire plan was fine. He sighed. This was annoying. "It is fine." He said to Maddy. Irritation was in his voice, but it wasn't directed at Maddy.

He took a deep breath. "Seriously, it is fine. We'll figure something else out." But by the time he said that the fire was already started. He put his face into his hands. Mumbling into them. Well, it didn't matter now. He moved into the stables and started letting the animals out.

---

---

Megan's eyes widened slightly as Hansel revealed that all of the healing in this land was done by magic. She supposed it made sense, given the infancy of science here. People had to use the tools available to them and if magic was the best option, then that's what they would use. She mused whether or not they had medical schools with lengthy residences and whatnot, before deciding probably not. If she had to guess, people likely learned by apprenticeships here - it felt very medieval and all. The more she learned about this land, the stranger it felt to her - even though she was supposedly its princess. She wondered what sort of person she would have become, had she been raised here.

She diligently climbed the ladder up once it was her turn, deciding not to speak since noise had been an issue Hansel raised earlier. They just had to wait now. She glanced at Jack, before looking briefly at the two girls deciding to talk and Megan rolled her eyes slightly. They weren't going to be final girls like that - they were probably the ones who would die first or who would run into the house after something silly like a slipper when the serial killer was still there.

---

---

Jack just nodded his head with regards to everything that Hansel was saying, namely how long it would take them to reach their destination and that they needed to keep their voices down. He wasn't sure how the people above them could really hear anything that they were saying, but given the fact that they were in a world where magic was real, it wasn't all that surprising that there might be someone listening in on them, even from a bit of a distance. Of course this was not going to be a simple thing, that he was fairly sure of.

He glanced over at his sister when Merlin answered her question as to how things regarding medicine and for some weird reason diseases tended to work in this strange world. It was interesting to think about, that everything tended to be healed or fixed with magic or potions or something. Then again, everything about the world was new, and supposedly the group had been born there, which at this point he wasn't able to really see. Listening, he heard Hansel say after climbing up the ladder to wait a moment, so guessing they likely were waiting for the other group to cause chaos.

---

---

Rosalia giggled slightly at Taylor's comment regarding setting Colby potentially on fire or something, "Well if we set him on fire he could run around the place likely screaming his head off. That would definitely be a fairly good distraction," she whispered back in response to her words. It was an amusing thought to have running through her head, and definitely an image that was worth giggling about. Probably would be a decent distraction, definitely would get some people's attention that's for sure, but clearly others had something else in mind. Though she personally was only just joking about that, since personally she wanted nothing to do with fires at all.

Namely the fact that Sierra the person who had first suggested the compromise of using fire as a last resort, started a fire. Now this was getting annoying, and she was pretty sure she was surrounded by idiots. There was another reason why she had been dead set against setting a fire, and it wasn't just because they could hurt innocent people. Nope that was far from the only reason. "You were the one to say use it as a last resort hypocrite," she said towards Sierra, but one thing would flash across her eyes as she started almost fiddling with her hair nervously. The thing that crossed her eyes was fear, as if the fire itself was the thing that scared her, and not everything else that they were attempting and doing. No, it was the flames that scared her above everything else that had really happened that day.

The animals started to panic as the ones who were untethered from their stalls started to stampede out of the stables and started to rush down the streets. Some pedestrians were quickly getting out of the way as some of the guards quickly went to get buckets of water, Sierra turned to look at Rosalia calling her a hypocrite with setting things on fire. "I'm sorry, I didnt see what else could set the animals off.." Sierra said softly as some of the other horses were panicking, Sierra went over to untie the others and then they quickly got out of the stables.

"Get away from the fire!" A guard came into the stable, he didnt think that anyone of these people had set the fires off, Sierra looked over towards the others and then started to leave the stables as the fires started to get much worse now. Gretel came out from behind the stables as well. It looked like she had a high ranking guard knocked out and motioned for the group to get behind the alleyway, Sierra walked over seeing the guy there. "Why do you have him?" She asked.

Merlin walked over and knelt down searching the unconcious guard before pulling out a scroll and started to read it over, before looking at everyone else before showing everyone else there to see it. "Rumpelstiltskin is who is one of Maleficent's right hand men is here as well to oversee the execution. We did our part, we need to get going now Hansel would be able to get the others back." He told them as Sierra looked over towards the prison hoping that they group was okay.

Hansel saw the fire was getting bigger now which was a good thing, he turned towards the others before he managed to open up the grate. The guards were getting distracted by the fire and chaos going on outside. "Alright lets get going." He said as Layla nodded and started to get out of the grate as well and stretched slightly. Layla offered a hand to help out her sister, and quickly started to follow behind Hansel and into the prison itself.

"You lot shouldnt be here." A guard said, as Hansel quickly got up close and personal before knocking the guard out, and started to search the body before finding a keyring with a bunch of keys. "Might as well start a prison break while we are here." Hansel said as he took off individual keys and started to hand them all out to everyone. "Find a cell and open it." Hansel said as Layla took hers and nodded as she started to head down the hallway and opened one of the cell doors.
