Bounty Hunter Bash Exile Lock Part Five

 Path Taken


They did not stop until the very early hours of the morning. They soon set up camp and Bounty Hunter Bash caught three rabbits and picked some herbal leaves and Chashathrophogh cooked two of the rabbits while she looked for more food. She soon found some blueberries and grapes and picked them and brought them back as he finished the rabbits. She gave them to him.

"Here, we can have them after." She said.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it."

"No, I meant thank you for rescuing me. Yet I know that now I have put a wedge between you and your mother. For that I am sorry." He said.

"That is alright. After all, I believe that there was a wedge between us a long time ago." She admitted, though it did little to comfort her.

He frowned.

"How come?"

"Only Father really got to know me there. Mother never even tried."

"Why is that?"

"I think that it was because I was too much like you and she did not like that. So I think that she wanted to shape me into becoming like her. So only Father allowed me to be who I am." 

He nodded.

"I do not think that I ever had anyone like that in my life. I guess that both my parents wanted to get rid of me as soon as they could." He said without a hint of his true emotion.

She frowned as part of her started to pity him. She thought that she had been isolated and lonely, compared to him she was nothing but a spoilt brat. Yet at the same time she could not quite know if he cared about what had happened back then for him to feel anything. Which may not have been as pitiful.

"Did you ever find someone to talk to about all this?"

"Yes. Yet he was more isolated than either of us put together! After all, he was a very troubled man with a very troubling demon inside of him. Though our teacher helped none of us. In fact she taught us both how to enjoy being cruel and killing. I do not know how, but she was always able to bring that out of us."

"Grasharlo...It seems that the Dark Lady is gaining a reputation… Do you think that she'll ever become just like the Dark Master Lord?" 

"No...I think that she can be worse."

She felt a shiver run down her spine, like someone had just stepped over her grave as she sat there eating her rabbit and ate the blueberries and grapes.

"I think that we need to get back on the road." She said, yawning.

"Yes, but we are not going anywhere without a sleep."

She nodded.

"Then I will take the first watch."

"Yeah. Wake me in an hour."

She sat there as she leaned against their resting horse. She took an arrow out and then clenched her hand around the head to use the pain to keep herself awake. She started to count the seconds in her head to help keep her mind focused. When she had counted to an hour she woke him up. 

"The hour's up!' She said.

He nodded as they were soon back on the road. Then passed another crossroads.

"Do you wish to change your mind?"

"No. I don't."

They crossed and they soon came to the road that led to the town that led to the sea. They soon heard the high pitched cry of the seagulls. They knew that they would be leaving this country. That was when they spotted a knight blocking their way. It was Sir Follied. Yet even as they galloped on he blocked them where they were.

"How dare you choose him over your own mother?! Especially after what he did to your father and brother!"

"Oh please! We both know that he did not do it!"

"Shut up! You both looked down on me! You never respected me! You always thought I was a fool but you are mistaken! I knew that you would come here so I took off to arrive here before you even left."

Bounty Hunter Bash looked at him. She was far too tired for this and she could see that his mind was far too broken to even listen to a word that she had said. So you willed him off his horse, yet because of her tiredness she misjudged the power she used and he flew faster and hit a tree harder than she would have liked. He fell down and slumped over, yet she knew that they could not afford to check to see if he was alive. Yet she got off the horse nevertheless. She then knelt and checked his pulse and then turned back to Chashathrophogh.

"Tell me, can you wipe his mind?"

"Yes."

"And place a false memory in its stead?"

"Yes. What are you thinking?" He asked as he looked around. 

"Take the memory of seeing us and replace it with him being mugged by some thugs and seeing us take the opposite turn to us?" She asked as she took the pouch of his gold.

He smirked.

"Yes. Yes, that is a good idea!" 

He placed his hand over his eyes and closed his eyes and said something under his breath that she could not make out. Yet it was strange, she liked the sound of the words. He then pulled away.

"There, I also added the memory, having us take the muggers down and chasing them off." 

She smirked and nodded.

"Then let's go."

They then got back on the horses and then they rode on to the border of the seaside kingdom of Seagrace.

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!
