The minute Leo bellowed out that he saw the hostages, pretty loudly too he knew that everyone would be side-eyeing him for it. Which they all sort of did. Some of the student's even said shhhh at him. He mouthed out "Sorry.." in apology but hearing Cassie's words a few minutes later it made him feel better about it. It was hard to believe that they could get away with freeing the hostages without one spider noticing. It was only a matter of time before they'd be noticed and attacked anyway.

Cassie proceeded to give the students some instructions as did Cossy. They needed to swiftly get the students and Annie out of the web and back with them to the castle especially if there were any injuries or bites that Cece needed to tend to. "Get going everyone! We need to get them all back to safety and we don't have any time to waste." Leo motioned the students in a quiet whisper but still loud enough for them all to hear.

While the students were helping the hostages at best out of the web the spiders showed up in numbers. Watering his lips Leo clutched his wand more tightly as the acromantulas started to close in on them. And then of course lovely and sweet Cassie had to try talk sense with the spiders. However that was pretty much a waste when Jackson shot a stunning spell at the acromantula at the head of the line. If that didn't anger the creatures what would?

Moving up beside Cassie he shot "STUPEFY!" several times at the direction of the spider cohort. Leo was thinking of their escape as he heard something or rather someone fall to the ground. A glance over his shoulder showed that Maisie the sugarplums shopkeeper had fainted. Oh sweet merlin that was the last thing they needed. He was feeling his robes for possible smelling salts when Sabel rushed over to Maisie and unceremoniously picked her up and slung her over his shoulder. One less thing to worry about.

Walking backwards with his eyes on the spiders and webs and closer to Sabel he called out as he shot stunning spells this way and that at the spiders. "Yoongi and Adi, help Cinna and Lux to get back over here quickly." They were Leo's responsibility and he was going to make sure they got back.
