We slid down the roof and onto a ledge so we could look through an open window.

"Let's get Vander and get out."

We climbed through, down the piping and support beams and down to a raised level with a bridge connecting to the other side. The other side with an open room. The open room with Vander.

We crawled across to the bridge so not to be seen and ran over to Vander.

"Vi? What are you doing here?" He was beaten up, a black eye and blood from his mouth.

"We're breaking you out... Mylo."

And so he got to work with his lock picks and Vander's shackles. Me and Vi took watch of the door.

"How did you get in? There's guard everywhere."

"It was easy. We found an open window and..."

"Oh god. You have to get out. Now!"

"Welcome!" I knew the voice, the slight rasp yet very expressive tone. Silco.

We turned to face him, he was clapping. "You have my congratulations. But I'm afraid this will be a very short reunion."

Soon many people walked out from the way he came, much older and much stronger than us.

"Have you heard the rumor? Vander the coward fled town with his children. And they were never seen again."

A knife clattered and I looked back  that Claggor had attempted to cut his bonds, but the bonds had cut the knife.

I helped Vi tighten the gauntlets as she spoke with the others.

"Claggor, see if you can find another way out of here."

I took out my knives and twirled them with a smirk. I missed using these, why did I ever stop?

"You don't have to do this, you two."

"Yes, we do."

Before we could walk any further, I tapped Vi's shoulder so she would look at me and kissed her cheek. She smiled with a slight blush and nodded at me and we left the group.

"Vi! Brandy!"

We walked up to the strongest looking man there, who huffed at us, underestimated us.

He lunged at Vi with a cutlass, but she blocked it, pushing him back and punching his jaw sharply. This gave me the opportunity to stab his side as I went passed to the person behind him.

She ran at me and I cut her arm as she tried to punch me, I stabbed her back and moved on, I heard Vi punch her over the edge.

The next man tackled me and had me on the floor, making me grunt at the impact, but my arms were free. Reaching over him I drove my daggers into his back and dragged them through the bone and flesh, then to let them leave. He collapses onto me but I used both my legs to kick him into another opponent.

I could hear Vi fighting the other people but I focused on the one infront of me. I dodged a punch but that let him get behind me to strangle me. Other people took their opportunity but I didn't let it last long. I kicked the first one into the one behind him and that gave me time to stab my holder's side. While he suffered with that, I stuck my daggers into his chest.

One woman was acting drunk, haphazardly attempting to strike me as I dodged, leaving her face wide open. So, I changed the way I held the knife and I drove it under her chin and threw her over the edge.

I breathed heavily and saw that no one else was coming for me and that Vi was cleaning up the last three. I ran up to one and stabbed him high in his back, dragging it down and letting him fall.

Still holding my daggers firmly, I hugged Vi and looked to see how bad her injuries were. And I could tell by the way she was holding me, she was doing the same. Yet neither of us had injuries that bad.

We giggled and smiled at each other, complimenting eachothers fights.

"I didn't know you could be so brutal!"

"You took out that first guy with ease!"

"You were so cool when you got that guy on top of you!"

"I didn't realise you could take so many people at once!"

Then we heard him say something else. Something that we knew ment trouble.

"Ready to size to the surface?"
