Luna's face was a blush pink once Uriah lifted her up and grew further red as he turned her head to be only inches from her face. She wanted her bow back, but that wouldn't be feasible now. She quietly responded to Uriah, "I-I, uh, i-it's fine. W-wait." Cyrus's voice cut through her thoughts. She reached up and tapped on her earpiece, "I-I found U-Uriah, b-but he's got a f-few, um, g-gaps in his m-memory. W-where are you g-guys?"

“Found the kids in the bottom levels of the guild. Now just to get them out,” Cyrus replied, trying to maintain his calm, “Tell Uriah I said hi, by the way.”
"O-Okay," Luna responded, "M-meet you on the roof? A-And I may have forgotten t-to mention Panther knows w-we're here now. O-Or that I am at least. S-sorry."
“Then… then leave,” Cyrus said, “Get out while you still can. We can handle the kids.”
He exhaled heavily.
“God… we have to hurry.”
He started messing with the wall some more.
“Sparrow, you think I could kick this in?”
Katya looked at the wall, "Wait. Your going to kick it in?!"
Luna paused for a second, "I-I can c-come down and help. A-are you sure it'll be f-fine?"
"Cyrus, is Luna okay? Uriah wasn't being himself, he was kinda scary." Esmae talked to Cyrus and Sparrow as she helped to find a weak spot in the wall.
"Who were you talking to, your friend?" Uriah put his daggers in his belt. Quietly he opened the door, and peeked his head out. Clear. He dragged her with him, down many halls, but as he said earlier, he didn't know the place well. So the chance of them getting lost was high. "Alright we are walking, is this jogging your memory at all?" That little bit she told him was not going to help him. He needed more.
“Yes! Leave!” Cyrus hissed, “He doesn’t know that the other two of us are here.”
He peered through the wall at Katya.
“Might have to… unless anyone else has a better idea.”
Sparrow frowned and studied the eye holes "if I can pry the stone loose here—" she gestured "—then maybe we can create a hole large enough for them to escape." Sparrow said.
Nathan look curiously at a small black stick a few paces away from the small group. "Um, guys? There is a thin stick here, we and dislodge the stones here"
“Let’s do that then,” Cyrus said, “Nathan, bring the stick over here. Rest of you, act natural in case anyone comes in.”
Vida nodded uneasily.
“I’ll watch out for anyone!”
Luna let out a quiet sigh, "O-okay. S-See you on the outside," She tapped the earpiece to turn off communication. Glancing around she spotted one of the entrances to the passageways and tugged Uriah towards it. They needed to get out of the main hallways and the passageways were probably the safest option, "Th-there's a passageway here. I-It'll be easier t-to go through. A-And it would be better i-if you asked me questions. S-so I know wh-what you don't remember yet."
Katya looked to the wall and then the door, "I'll look to see if I can find something on this side."
Sparrow peeked through one of the holes and saw the kids pretending to sleep. She grabbed the stick Nathan gave her and started poking around a few stones. A few minutes later, the stone dislodged and a small hole formed, big enough for a large dog to fit through
Vida glanced back.
“I think some of us might be able to fit,” she said, “If not all of us.”
Cyrus nodded. “Yeah. One at a time though.”
Uriah was laser focused and stumbled when Luna tugged him, although he caught his footing a few seconds after. "You do know I'm not going with you right? It will just make it easier for them to find you. Anyway, why would you want me back? What if they got really important things out of me. I would be a traitor." His big body almost didn't fit in the small space. "Wow, this is tight."
"I-It gets bigger soon," Luna told him tugging him into a bigger part of the passageways. All she had to do was remember the way to the roof to get to the outside, "A-And your coming with m-us. W-we really wouldn't c-care. I-I mean I was stuck here for almost s-six months, and th-they still let me back," she had to take a deep breath to stop her body from shaking and falling into a panic attack, "E-either way your c-coming back and I will kn-knock you out if i-it comes down to it."
A light laugh escaped his lips. This girl was amusing. "Fine I give l go with you." She seemed like fun, and it's not like he had memories to keep him attached to this place. "So, uh, what was your name again?" He smiled and watched her hair flow back and forth as they weaved through these passageways. "You're cute, did you know that?" Of course she had to have someone already tell her that.
"L-Luna, Luna Cazadora," she responded as her face flushed a light red. She was happy that he agreed willingly to come with, "A-And, uh, I suppose s-so?"
Sparrow helped the first child through the hole. A short while later all the kids had made it through and they were now running through the hallways.
“Alright, now to escape,” Cyrus said softly, “Which way out?”
"This wa—" Dparrow was cut off as she fell to the ground, unconscious. A couple more sounds of whistling and all 4 kids fell to the ground behind them. Cyrus was the o ly one left consciously standing when a group of people dressed in dark cl0thes shone a light in the narrow room.
"Really?" He was genuinely surprised, "Who other than me has said that?" For a moment a bit of jealousy crept up. "Wait seriously," he stopped her from walking and turned her around so that she was facing him. "You said you love me. Why?" From what he was gathering, he was pretty much a traitor. "I want to remember you."
Cyrus rapped the earpiece one more time.
“I’m sorry, we’ve been surrounded,” he whispered, “We’ll make it out if we can.”
With that, he took off the earpiece and smashed it so no one could hear Luna if she decided to speak again.
Sparrow was still near to him, so he threw her over his shoulder and started running away as fast as he could. He didn’t know where. Just away.
Luna looked up at Uriah. She knew her face was red at the moment, and was almost positive he could tell too. She glanced down at the ground, "I-It's just b-been you. A-and you were r-really nice and understanding when I-I first came back. Y-You were j-just there when I needed s-someone and e-everything just kept falling into place. I-I don't kn-know I c-can't really explain it y-ya know?"
From behind Luna and Uriah, a whistling sound was heard as a small dart hit both if them on different parts of the body. As with Sparrow, Cyrus, and the kids, a group dressed in black appeared, tranquilizer guns, locked and loaded
(Why? Why now? They were finally sorting things out.)
(Because cliffhangers)(trust me, this isnt even the worst thing I have planned. Part in if this story is coming to an end, part two will be here soon)
