Day 7:

The bright lights suddenly came on and awakened Michael, who groaned quietly. Some old flowers were pushed into each of the cells. Once the guard left, Michael hesitantly made sure the others were awake.

"Anyone else up?" Michael asked.

"So the antisocial one speaks." DH joked.

"Fuck you; it's your fault we're here." Michael shot back and looked at the "food" he was given.

"Can't they feed us anything, you know, fresh?" Gavin complained. Michael nibbled on one of the flowers. DH didn't bother with his food, instead he tucked it under the cot and resumed planning how to get out. Michael gave up eating and started to tug at his wing brace, attempting to make a little wiggle room. After a while, two unicorn guards came in. The guys hid their mostly uneaten breakfast and looked out the bars of their door.

"We only need the pegasus and unicorn." One of the guards said, unlocking Gavin's door first, then Michael's. Michael glared at the guard.

"What are you doing?" Michael growled.

"Making sure your braces are on correctly." One of them sneered back.

"Well, I absolutely can't move my wings, so I'm good." Michael said. The guard ignored him and pulled a strap on Michael's brace, making it even tighter. The guard who was attending to Gavin made sure his brace was also on correctly. The guard casted a spell which made the brace on Gavin's horn vibrate slightly, so if any magic was being used, it would be immediately knocked off of Gavin's horn. They locked them back up and left.

"This is just horrible." Gavin said. DH sighed and inspected his door.

"This shouldn't be too hard." He whispered to himself. He brushed his mane back to reveal a silver key hidden in his mane. He took it and let his mane bounce back into place. He inspected his cot next, mainly at the part facing the wall. It didn't take long to find a frayed part of the cot. He picked at the parts with his hoof until there was a hole. He stuck the key in and sat on the cot. Lunch soon came around and DH took the chance to replace the guard's skeleton key with his fake key. Then, he waited for night.
