Bounty Hunter Bash Heart Lock Arc Part Five

 The Arrival


In the morning they burnt the witches' tavern down along with her body. Then they went on their way. They were on the road for a great amount of time without any threat. Then they turned a corner that gave them a glimpse of the wall of the border of the kingdom that they were born in.

"We're almost there."

Chashathrophogh curled his lip.

"What."

"Last time that I was here my parents had hired an assassin to kill me."

"Oh."

"What was your last memory here?"

"I left to collect your bounty."

"By the way,  I've always wondered, why did you leave here, the first time?"

"My parents tried to marry me off to hide the fact that I was born out of wedlock."

He let out a chuckle.

"Looks like that was ineffective!" He laughed.

"Yeah!"

"Tell me, had anyone told you-"

"We're a lot alike? Yeah, mother and father never liked that, mother mainly. She tried to make me different so I guess I never could have a good working relationship with her. Tell me, did you love to use a bow and arrow too?"

"Yeah, though these days, I prefer blades and magic."

Wonder if I will be like that?

"Come on,  I think that we need to get this over as soon as possible."

Chashathrophogh nodded.

"Yeah how-"

They were snapped back into reality by a twig. They knew better than to look back. One took out her bow and then loaded her arrow and fired. Then an arrow was fired back and Chashathrophogh caught it before it could hit her. He then flicked it in the arrow back to where it came from. As it flew he set it alight. He then looked at her to move. She nodded and ran down to where the person was, she fired again. She then heard them jump up. She then fired where he was going. She heard a grunt and he fell.

She was about to go to where they were but Chashathrophogh signaled for to stay where she was. He used his magic to drag him over to them. He then pulled out a dagger. Chashathrophogh kicked it out of his hand and threw it at him and he died.

"Now do you see why I prefer magic and daggers?"

"Yeah. Do you think that there are more?"

"Probably."

She nodded as they walked on as he burnt his attacker. They soon came closer to the border,  however they knew that they would have to keep their guard up. So, when they took a break to eat,  Bounty Hunter Bash took a few glances around her.

"Bash, don't look up tight. Learn to look around and make it appear to not look like it." 

"Like you?"

"Yes."

"Will you teach me?"

"What's the point?"

Oh yeah… She thought as she felt something sink in her chest. Even though there was no blade in her heart, it felt like it. 

"What?"

"Nothing."

It was in this moment that she remembered when she had used her magic to kill. She remembered how he hugged her how her parents would. Yet, she knew that if either of her parents were there they would have neither hugged her or understood. Yet even if they did it would have been in the same way.

"On another note,  what do you think that we should do once we get back there?"

"Well,  I'll have to ask for a private conversation with my sister."

"What danger is Mother in?"

His eyes married and his demeanor became guarded. However as he realised that she would come to that truth he let his guard down slightly.

"I think that we should talk about this in private." He said.

So it's something that can be magically overheard.

She soon spotted something in the corner of her eye. She was about to look but she remembered what Chashathrophogh had said and stopped herself. She knew that she would have to get her bow, but she had to make it look natural. So she took it out. She looked at it and plucked the string.

"You know, I think that this would need a new string."

"Do as you will.'

She then pulled out the arrow.

"I mean it!" She expelled childishly. "I'll show you!"

She loaded it and fired, which was followed by a scream.

"Looks like you hit something!" He said with a smirk.

"Hope that he will be alright."

"Want to check?"

"Couldn't hurt."

She then walked over to where the scream came from. She soon spotted her broken arrow and a small pool of blood. She then felt a blade touch her neck.

"Well,  you caught me off guard."

Her eyes spotted the blade and she did her best to look calm.

"Are you sure?"

She then hit him in the ribcage causing him to drop the blade. She spun but before she was able to load her bow again he gripped her wrist and upper get in. She kneed him in the groin and then punched him in the throat. Before she hit he hit her in her gut and she was almost crouched on the ground clutching her stomach, however age was made of stronger stuff. She then used her magic to will him aside. She then pulled out an arrow and hit him in the thigh. As he limped to her Chashathrophogh hot him with a fireball.

"That was fun!"

"I think that we need to go now."

He nodded.

"Yes. That would be a good idea."

They started to wall to the border.

"What do you think would happen if they arrest me?"

"I hardly know, I haven't thought about it. Maybe that was the plan."

"Well if it was, then we will cross that bridge when we come to it." He said as they crossed the border.

"You have a lot of nerve coming back here after all you have done Chashathrophogh!" Spoke Sir Follied.

"I know."

"And why are you of all people with this murderer?"

"No time we need to talk to mother!"

"Yes, you do." He said as they turned and marched on.

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toast in half she

The Nine Dragons The Serpent Dragon Part Three

  The Boa Army Loc was working hard in the field. It was getting to evening time. She had found that she liked working there as a farmer. There was just something so satisfying in doing hard work and made the food taste better and she slept better too. She could see herself doing this for the rest of her life however long that would be, yet she knew that she could not. Regardless of how much she liked the village and the people there. She had noticed that the people there looked almost like the people in her world just without any pupils and they were weaker too. She also noticed that despite this, they were all hard working and nothing was eaten until they had done their work. During this time she had completely recovered her whole energy and strength from all of the battles that she had on that day. She had also been able to gather her thoughts and psychology recovered and was able to have her time of mourning her losses from her rebellion. Yet she found that this might have been due

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Six

 The Purple Monster  “Why?” “Open the book and put all of the other Purple Artefacts into the page that it fits.” Doormaze nodded as she opened the book. On the first page as a hole where she put the Purple Purl in. The page glowed and for a moment. When the glowing died down the purl was in the page, almost like a picture. She then turned another page. There was another hole with a flower hole in. She then placed the Purple Flower in. It glowed and soon the flower was in the book. She turned the page, where she placed the Purple Feather in.  Once it became a picture the book glowed. Soon light flooded the room. All had to close their eyes as the light became far too bright. Then Doormaze no longer felt the book in her hands. She opened her eyes to see a light above her hands almost like a miniature star. What is this? Then it became so bright she had to close her eyes again. Then she felt something covering her body. It felt light and comfortable. Her eyes opened to see that she was c

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Three

  The Purple Flower They, because it was late when they reached the top chamber, decided to take a break. They lit a fire and, after cooking a small stew, started to eat. “Now, tomorrow, where to next?” “Well, Doormaze, we must travel over the Flower Bridge. It used tobe a small village on a large plot of land that the other mouth of the cave leads to. The houses were too and far between. It was mainly covered in many different purple flowers.” “And that’s why it’s called Flower Bridge?” “Well, that is because of the plot of land that joins the East Mountain, which we are in, and West Mountain, which is where the Purple Flower is in, is naturally formed.” “And there is nothing underneath it.” “No.” “Well,” She said, finishing her meal. “That’s something to sleep on.” After they all ate their meal,they went to sleep. Doormaze dreamed of Natalie again. She opened her, now dragon, eyes. She walked over to the dragons. They were sound asleep. She smiled as she turned away from them. She wa

Scar Parents Fight Part Four

  Mother’s Knife Scar woke. She saw Morara right in front of her. She dived back as she punched her. She tried to unbuckle, yet she noticed that she soon noticed that it was jammed. She tried to pull the belt but that too was jammed. She tried to pull it again and again and again but it did nothing. She looked up in fear as she saw the knife coming at her. She quickly dived out of the way then the knife turned to her. She tried to punch her but she caught her wrist. She tried to pull her hand out of her hand. Yet she was too strong. She saw the knife getting closer and closer. She hit the arm as hard as she could which made her drop the knife. She then finally pulled out more of her belt and fell out. She then felt a slit in her arm. She let out a whimper as she looked up at Morana went to stab her again and again. She kicked her again and again and again. She looked at both Alex, who was unconscious. She drove her hands to his belt and she pulled the belt and he hit his head as he fel

Scar Parents Fight Final Part

  Assassin’s Sacrifice  Charlotte, knowing that none of them had any time or chance to call an ambulance, ran. She knew where the hospital was and that none of them had any time to lose. She ran down the street as fast as she could. Yet it must have been obvious where she was running to as Morana looked at her innanyer and knew in that moment she would kill to stop her from going there.  Her parents had the exact expression on their faces when she had to stop pretending that she was a boy. After all, they always wanted a boy and when she was born a girl they tried to turn her into one. But the only thing that reminded them that she was a girl was her name, which they shortened to Charlie at one point. Just to keep the illusion that she was a boy alive in their deluded minds. The only thing that got her out of that situation was the series of dead girls that were her sisters and only one son being alive at the cost of her neglect. Van Kira, she remembered his name was. “Oh no you don’t!
