Unwind Segue iOS goes back 1 too many VC's

Question

I have a 3 viewcontroller navigation where A presents modal controller B, which presents modal controller C all via segues. C has an unwind segue back to B. It also has an unwind back to A. When I perform action for C to unwind to B, it unwinds but then pops B and goes back to A. This is not what I want, I want it in this case to stay on B. Below are the segues VC C uses.

unwindCancel is for when user clicks on a collectionViewCell and goes back to VC B. prepareForUnwind is just a standard "cancel" button to VC A.

Below is code for didSelectItem to call the unwind in VC C. Below that is prepareForSegue in VC C.

-(void)collectionView:(UICollectionView *)collectionView didSelectItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
[self performSegueWithIdentifier:@"unwindCancel" sender:self];
}

-(void)prepareForSegue:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue sender:(id)sender{
    if ([segue.identifier isEqualToString:@"unwindCancel"]) {
        GalleryDetailViewController *detailVC = segue.destinationViewController;
        detailVC.colletionCount = self.indexPathToPass;
    }
}

VC B unwind in .m file

-(IBAction)unwindCancel:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue{

    [self.collectionView scrollToItemAtIndexPath:self.colletionCount atScrollPosition:UICollectionViewScrollPositionLeft animated:YES];
}

VC A unwind in .m file

-(IBAction)prepareForUnwind:(UIStoryboardSegue *)segue {
}

When going from C to B, don't use an unwind segue just have C call dismissViewController. If you're committed to using unwind segues, look here specifically section entitle How an Unwind Segue Determines its Destination View Controller
