Bounty Hunter Bash Location Lock Part Five

 The Dark Lady Strikes 

They had barely been able to get some rest as they tried to fix their raft, yet both took glimpses of Bash as she slept. Yet Chashathrophogh kept an eye on Cerpheres to make sure that he did not do anything. As the day wore on he took a glance at the ship. He could not help but wonder why none had come to this island from the shop or why his cuff was not pulling him to it either. However he knew that he would have to ask about that later,when they had returned. 

Yet they both had to force themselves to keep up their work too. As they did both felt sleepy and had to fight this as much as they could as they kept working on and on and on. Then the feeling of drowsiness increased and increased until they could no longer resist it and soon their eyelids started to drop, but they continued to work and work. Soon the feeling became almost irresistible. So both took a tiny dagger and stabbed themselves in a way that minimised blood and maximised pain, just to keep themselves awake. So they were able to work on and on and on. 

Then Chashathrophogh dropped his tools. The next thing that happened was his body fell. Soon he was out cold. 

Cerpheres frowned as he looked down at him. He looked around to see a woman in the jungle as he too fell. He quickly muttered something before his eyes closed.

Yet, it was during this time Bash woke. She looked on to see both men asleep. She walked up to them and checked their pulse to see that they were asleep. She saw the tools underneath them. Then she looked up to see the raft was almost fixed. However, she could tell that there was fixing of damage that the raft sustained during her rest. She frowned as she saw the rounds on Chashathrophogh and noticed that the wounds Cerpheres had were all sealed up, not even leaving a scar. Which caused her frown to deepen.

Was there a fight here?

“So, you’re the one who wants to take my Zarry away from me!”

She felt shock ripple throughout her as she recognised the voice. Yet she could not help but think about Strena and how she suffered and how she was told all about what this woman did to Zaryb every night he was in her hands. She felt this shock turn to rage.

She dived back and fired several arrows at her. Yet she stopped each and every one of them. Then Bash used her magic to push them on, causing Grasharlo to dive up as she fired another arrow at her. However the dark lady flew to the side and she fired two more one to where she was and the other where she was going. She dodged them both. However Bash did this again and again and again. Yet she fired a blast of lightning at her. She dived to the left and fired again. Then she saw the blast coming at her and she only just dived back as the molten sand turned to glass. 

Then she felt it strike her and she spun and collided with the sand. She rolled and rolled and rolled. That was when she felt again as she rolled on and on and on. Then she felt it again as she rolled on. Then she saw the lightning coming at her and she used her magic to will herself back to the beach.

She then took a glance black for a moment to see where she was being rolled to see none other than gympiegipie leaves! At this her eyes widened in shock as she looked back.

The dark lady shrugged as she saw a ball of fire coming at her. She used her magic to block the fire with another. Yet she saw another row of fire balls coming at her. She was only just able to stop each and every one of them. Then she felt her stomach drop as she saw a wall of fire coming at her like a wave. She used her magic to summon as large a wall of ice as she could. This turned into a wall of Steam causing fog to rise between them.

Bash raced in. Then she spotted the blade coming at her. She dived down to the left as she saw a strike coming from the right. Then the left, then the right. She backed away as she dodged them. She whipped out a blade of her own and blocked the last. She pushed on and threw a kick to the stomach. Then she dived on and went to stab her. 

Then she saw the gympiegipie leaves flying towards her. She set them alight and it turned to ash before they could go anywhere near her. Yet she knew that it was not going to be good enough so she set all poisonous plants alight before she returned to Grasharlo.

That was when she felt a sting under her right eye. She felt blood fall down her cheek.

“Impressive.”

That was when she felt vines pull her down as a large ball of fire was coming down upon her the size of a small room! She pulled and pulled and pulled as she tried to push the ball of fire away from her until her wrists were bleeding. However, as she did she saw a large tarantula coming towards her! 

She bit her lip as she tried to continue to push the ball away from her. Only to see that if the ball should hit, it would hit Chashathrophogh too! Her eyes widened as she understood. She would either die or kill her uncle. Either way, both would die. 

That was when something hit the tarantula and it died in a flash. This gave her the opportunity to push the ball away from her. Only to see it fly away from her. She looked down to see Cerpheres standing above her. His cheeks were as scarlet as a tomato and he looked drunk. He smiled lazily as his eyes teamed with wicked glee.

“Where?”

“She left.”

“Why?”

“I made her leave!”

“Is she?”

“No.” He said, pulling the vines off her. “But I did hurt her very bad. Which helped me out with something quite a lot. I have been feeling very, very frustrated recently and I was afraid of having to kill one of you to get it addressed. But after Jorrarah and that-” He let out a calming breath. “-that was able to calm me down. But I am more concerned about the next time I get turned on like that!”

“Wired as ever!”

He chucked.

“Riiight! Time to wake up the other sleeping beauty!”
