Bounty Hunter Bash Friend Lock Part Four

 The Third Cuff

Grasharlo bowed her head and she knelt down in front of the drained Strena. She tucked her soaking hair behind her ear.

“But it was well done nevertheless. So I have to congratulate you on that.”

“Don’t kill her!” Cerpheres growled.

Her eyes slid to him and she smiled.

“Older brother! I didn’t see you there!” She sang with a wink.

“Nice to see you too. How is my favorite little sister?” He purred with a smirk.

“Fine. Although I am not going to release you.”

“Oh! Why not?”

“Because I know your taste and how little is off your murderous table. Also I can tell you both to relax.” She sang, stroking the girl’s hair. “I won’t kill her!”

Her eyes dropped to Chashathrophogh and then back to him. She smirked as she looked back to Chashathrophogh.

“Do you think that he knows?”

He shrugged.

“Who knows? Why are you so interested?”

“Well if he doesn't, I wonder how long it would take until he does?”

Strena’s weak eyes widened.

“You know I made these cuffs.” She said, staring to play with the girl’s cuff. “Do you want to show you how?”

She pulled out one of the daggers Strena had upon her. She placed it next to the top of the cuff. She placed her hand under it as she started scraping, making sure to catch the files. She then walked to the firewood and lit it. She then walked over to Zaryb and crouched in front of him. She chuckled.

“Are you guarding your friends?”

He glared at her.

“Oh I love that look on your face.” She gasped and then kissed him. 

She then scraped the top of his cuff and collected the files. She then threw the metal files into the fire. Then they melted and the molten liquid rose up in the shape of a cauldron. She walked to it and cut her hand and spat into it as her blood flowed into it. Once there was a small pool in the centre she spat into it again. She then looked over to Strena.

“Now for the final ingredient. Blood of the students. Good job I have them all here!” She said as she walked over to Zaryb. 

She took him by his wrist. She cut his palm and the blood flowed in. She then picked up Chashathrophogh, who was too exhausted to resist and carried him to the cauldron and cut his palm. She then walked up to Strena. She tried to use her magic but could do nothing to stop her from picking her up and cutting her palm. She was barely able to grunt. Soon the blood was boiling.

“Bind what will never be broken,

Take the blood as your token,

Create the band,

From the land,

Link it to the other,

Make the new brother!”

That was when the cauldron glowed a bright purple. Soon the metal spun inwards like the centre of a whirlpool. She saw the red turn to orange as it joined with the purple. Then the orange became red and the purple became black. Then it became the shape of a cuff. It was almost all black. It had a thick red stripe going from the top to the bottom. In the centre was a black X with a white outline.

“Now, I wonder how long would it take for you to keep quiet?” She asked as she chuckled. She then walked over to Chashathrophogh.

“Oh? What are you doing?” Cerpheres purred.

She smiled widely and wickedly.

“Something you’ll like.” She sang, taking his arm and putting the cuff on him.

“Now, I wonder how long it would take for them to start trying to kill each other? Wonder who would win once they do?”

Soon smoke rose and spun around her. Soon she was no longer there.
