Suz hung her head "Look lady, I just barely escaped from there with my life the first time. Do you really think I want to go back" she says

B- “Bunch of winy babies. What's so bad about waring me anyways?" it seemed to ask. "At least their alive so what if their enslaved" it went on

Lorn nodded "Yes of course I would like to be free" he said

Vivi frowned glancing at Suz “So you want to stay messed up in the head and forgetting everything?" she paused hearing the bracelet and rolled her eyes thinking ~coming from experience...being a slave isn't that great~ she sighed and glanced to Lorne “So why not go...we can at least try...." she shrugged "I'm not going to make anyone go but unless you want to be stuck with me forever we need to try and do something"

Suz was trembling remembering some horrible cold dark place. "I'm scared of going back" she told Vivi.

Lorn sighed heavily "I want to go back but I don't know the way" he says. "But if she recently escaped I bet she knows" he comments

Vivi groaned and leaned against the wall and looked at the both of them “Fine...Suz...you don’t have to come if you don’t want to...but if you could at least...draw us a map...or something....that would be great.."

Suz shook her head "No, it's ok I'll go. I don't want to stay like this. I will just have to face my fears I guess" she says "Just need to write a note to myself so I don't forget where we are going" she mumbles moving off and leaving the two alone

Vivi frowned watching Suz leave and shaking her head “That would piss the ever living hell out of me forgetting shit all the time" she glanced at Lorne and tilted her head slightly as she looked at him "you okay?"

Lorn nodded "my healing is kicking in. I should be fine soon enough" he says "Though I could really go for some food and drink "He laughed his stomach grumbling as he spoke

Vivi nodded then laughed "I'll go get you something....stew ok?" she turned heading for the stairs and pausing on the first one

Lorn nodded "Yha stew will be fine" he says sitting up now

Vivi wandered upstairs and moved to the bar leaning on it catching Wendy’s attention "hey ya doll can I get a bowl of stew....the angel is hungry" she smirked propping her chin in a hand while she chatted idly with the barkeep while she waited on the meal "where'd Suz go?" she glanced around looking for the wolf while she waited

Wendy smiled serving viv and chatting "she went upstairs something about packing her things" she told vivi

Vivi nodded sliding the bowl of stew closer looking for a rag so she could carry the hot bowl "didn't think she'd start that fast...she must like to be prepared...or nervous" she shrugged blowing a kiss to Wendy who was an old friend and grabbed a towel before picking up the bowl and moving back downstairs with it "okay this sucker is hot," she moved to the table beside Lorne’s bed and sat the bowl down gingerly

"Shit…I forgot your drink" Vivi sighed fluttering off the ground and flying back upstairs for the sake of speed grabbing a mug and bottle before flying back down landing beside Lorne’s bedside before she set the cup down and tried to uncork the bottle her wings glistening in the light as they moved slightly before laying back against her back again

Lorn was staring at Vivi again and there was the odd sensation that he wasn't the only one. ~So..unfair...I..~ the though passed his mind leaving him feeling angry and hurt. But why? What the heck was that all about? What was't fair? he gave his head a shake as if coming out of a daze. The bracelet heating up around Vivi's writs yet again.

Vivi held the glass out to him after filling it feeling the bracelet warm up "ow...take this please" she sighed handing the glass over so she could start rubbing the bracelet on her wrist "damn thing..never know when its gonna do that" she sighed moving to sit on the edge of her bed and leaned forward putting her face in her hands and rubbing her eyes a bit before moving to lay back on the bed while Lorne ate

Lorn takes the drink and begins to eat "I'm sorry. I wish I could make it stop hurting you" he said completely unaware for the voice Vivi heard from the bracelet

B- "I do it whenever the hell I feel like doing it" it told her sounding like some child sulking. "Everyone blame the bracelet, when if only you had just choose to being with I might have actually been nice.... Might" he emphasized

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 9 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

Vivi sighed and looked down at Lorn “The bracelet...." She sighed again trying to get it together to talk “It...it said I had to choose how you looked...I didn't want to...I want you to be you..." Her bottom lip was still trembling “But...it tried to choose for me…started to make you change....so I...I had to..." She shook her head slightly "I'm sorry....I want to fix this...but I don't know how" She squeezed his hand a bit “At least now it's over"

Lorn blinked and frowned "It's not your fault Vivi, Neither of us knew it would do this" He told her honestly, his voice weak. He had only ever belonged to the witch so had no idea this would happen.

Suz frowns “That bracelet of yours is some nasty piece of work" she commented

Vivi glanced over her shoulder at Suz and nodded “Yeah...I just don’t know how to get rid of the thing...I don’t want it to hurt him or me....but every time I try to take it off it burns us” She sighed her shoulders slumping slightly glancing back to Lorne “Can I do anything for you?"

B- the voice hissed in Vivi's mind "You can't take me off unless you give me to another and then the process would just start all over again" it taunted.

Lorn shook his head “Not unless you can ease the pain more then that girl..." he trailed off recognition in the mans eyes "You!" he breathed in a harsh gasp.

Suz brought a paw to her chest "What about me?" she asked

Vivi heard the bracelet's voice in her head and winced slightly at the thought of Lorne getting stuck with another master and shook her head slightly, glancing down again at Lorne then stiffening as he exclaimed in surprise glancing back at Suz then to Lorne again “What?" She frowned looking at Lorne with her brows raised.

Lorn raised an arm pointing a shaky finger at Suz “She was there, at the place where I was made" He told Vivi, mentioning this fact for the first time

Suz Tilted her head and squinted here eyes looking at him for some time "Oh yha, I thought you looked familiar" she says finally

Vivi looked back and forth between the pair and looking confused “What...wait...so she was where....what?" She sat back a bit and sighed trying to make sense of it…”You both were....made?" She perked a brow “So you looked like a demon when you last saw her?"

Suz nodded “Well mostly, when I first saw him he was lovely. He was an angel." she said dreamily

Lorn Scowled “And then they turned me into what you see now” he told her

Vivi frowned shaking her head “If he was so damn sexy why did they change him....couldn't the witch just find a demon to start with...or was she not your first master?" She ran a hand through her hair looking confused still “Wait...where is this place anyways...does it still exist?"

Suz frowned and nodded "It's the same place that is responsible for me being the way I am and the stupid memory spell that keeps me from remembering what I am" She explained

Vivi started to rub her temples now trying to make sense of it “So...you aren't really a werewolf...or...just cant remember you are one...or...ugh..." She moved to fall back on the bed beside Lorne “This is fucked up" she sighed laying there a bit “So...can they fix you if they messed it all up in the first place?"

Suz shook her head " Oh no I'm a werewolf alright, but they were trying to separate the two sides, It's what they do. They take you apart and then put the parts back together to make something else. I have seen it all done. Though I'm not sure if it can be reversed" she admitted with a shrug. Then she laughed "Now why would you start out with a demon when you can have one customs made to your liking?" She asked her eyes going distant and showing pain

Vivi shrugged laying there "why not just have you bite someone to make a new werewolf or use something closer to what you’re trying to make, to make it not the damn polar opposite....seems a waste..not to mention stupid..." she frowned sitting up "still...if they can take people apart why cant they fix them"

Lorn growled "They do it because people pay them to do it and because in doing so they bind us to those stupid bracelets and make us a slave. " he said to her

Suz nodded "Yha something about the process being needed for the binding to be affective " she agreed "As for fixing us I truly don't know. I have only ever seen it done the one way" she admitted

Vivi moved to stand and ran a hand through her hair again "well...how else are we supposed to get this damn bracelet off...well not bound to Lorne anyways? I'm sure he'd prefer to be a free man again hmmm?" she gave Suz a look then glanced back over her shoulder at Lorne "right?"

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 8 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

B- “Well I would have just communicated with you through your mind but you blocked me out. So now I'm using Lorn" It said the scent she asked for coming off of Lorn now and if she were to taste him the same could be said to be true, not that she would at such a time. "Very good, What kind of man do you like? color of hair and all that?" it asked next becoming more personal with it's inquiry. Still sounding like some underpaid intern who would really rather be doing anything but this right now. Still the jealousy and hurt remained though a touch more obvious in these questions.

Vivi tilted her head, brow still raised and looking confused “Well...I'm not in the habit of letting anything get in my head so...no offense" She sighed “Against the job description ya know" She blinked in surprise at his next inquiry, stepping back a bit looking guarded “….Why....?" She frowned "I don't have a preference"

B- “Oh but you must choose you see for it's part of my contract to each new owner that wares me. To make the man exactly what and how they want. So please miss Fae what will it be?” The voice almost hissed sounding angry now that she was being so difficult.

She shook her head looking down at Lorne almost looking hurt “No...I don't want to....cant you just make him look like....well him...ya know what he's supposed to look like...I don't own him....that's why I got him away from that witch...he doesn't belong to anyone he isn't property for Gods sake" She crossed her arms almost hugging herself

B- The voice growled "Fine you don't want to choose then I'll chose for you, how's that?" it practically yells at her, anger and frustration all mixed in together as Lorn now wakes screaming in agony. His skin becomes a similar shade to hers and his hair goes from red to blue as well. He was slowly tuning into a male version of Vivi minus the wings though. His screams become worse as his wings drop away leaving gapping wounds on his back.

Suz rushes over and grabs some potions trying to get him to drink them so that they can sedate the man "Dear lord, what the hell have I got myself into" she gasps

Vivi watched looking shocked and shaking her head “stop...you're hurting him....stop damn it" She shook her head seeing how the bracelet was changing him “Geez..what’s wrong with you…?” She moved over to Lorne’s other side trying to help Suz “What do I do to make it stop?”

B- The familiar felling comes back up her arm as Suz tried to deal with the now awake and in pain Lorn. If Vivi let it in it would simply say in a deep uncaring voice "Choose"

Vivi felt the feeling running up her arm and did let the voice in this time hearing him and nodded “Fine...alright..." she sighed trying to think “Ummm...." She couldn't think of what Lorne said he looked like or if he had ever said, eventually she gave up and shrugged “Black hair....long...soft.....good skin....pale...but not too pale...green eyes" She paused chewing her bottom lip….”Sea foam green" She nodded "I like the way he was built already and his height...." She frowned “Give him his wings back...please"

B-The voice left her mind and seemed to concentrate on Lorn once more as Lorn became exactly what she asked for. Though more screaming was to be had as the bracelet made the man grow his wings back, meaning more blood was shed. Even Wendy at this point came down to see what the hell was going on shaking her head.

Vivi watched Lorne change and winced shaking her head knowing growing wings had to hurt but figured it was best to keep him as close to what he was used to as she could and only make him hurt once if she could help it glancing to Wendy and moving to her friend hugging the woman looking pitiful as she glanced at Lorne "I didn't know what to do....I feel so bad" she sighed stepping away and moving to Lorne to sit with him while he changed and taking his hand once he was finished and able to lay back trying not to cry looking at him "I'm so sorry…so sorry" She sniffled

Suz finished wrapping the man up yet again, making him smell nothing like pumpkins thanks to her salve. After Wendy gives Viva hug she comes and helps to remove the execs wings laying on the floor, Shaking her head at the scene

Lorn he looked to Vivi, tears rolling down his face his grip on her hand weak at best "What's going on? why am I in so much pain?" he said, not aware of what just happened . But at least it seemed with the change the burns were gone along with other wounds. If you didn't pay too much attention to his back and wings he looked fine.

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 7 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

She smiled and brushed against the woman in a flirtatious manner "You don't say and you’re such a fine young thing too" she smirks taking the woman's hand to examine the bracelet "Odd how localized this burn is" she says kissing it lightly “How about I buy you a few drinks hmm" she smiles batting her eyelashes at the woman

Vivi laughed, smirking as Suz looked at the bracelet and shrugged “Must have gotten hot when he caught fire...I was close" Her smile widening as Suz kissed her hand then moved to slip an arm around the other woman's waist…”Sure thing toots"

Suz led the way upstairs flirting heavily with the woman, she was open to loving all and often made the effort to at least try to hit on those who didn't look like they might kill her for it. It had taken her some time to get to this point since she thought herself human and found the other races too strange. But these days it hardly seemed to matter. She bought the woman drinks and things led to where they always seemed to lead with Suz, into a bed where the fey found out the girl was a wolf but didn't mind. The two finished in their fun and the white werewolf lay holding Vivi now content.

Vivi sighed and lounged with Suz a bit then sat up with a groan "now I'm tired...I totally blame you by the way" She glanced at Suz and laughed shrugging, running a hand through her blue hair “Might be time for that nap after all...and we should check on your patient before he wakes up alone in the basement...hmmm?" She chuckled

Suz yawned and nodded "I'll go check on him in a bit before we sleep” She said kissing the woman and nuzzling her. '"I have to warn you though I may not remember this when I change back" She told the woman as she got up, her white ears cut short to look more human

Vivi was cuddling with her but paused hearing Suz as she explained “Hmmm? maybe I shouldn’t stay then...unless your used to waking up with strange woman and no memory of how they got there" She grinned rubbing Suz's back “Let's go check on Lorne then we'll figure out where we’re all sleeping" she sat up and moved to get dressed before heading down stairs

Suz looked to Vivi "I don't think you understand you see my human side doesn't remember anything my wolf side does, stupid memory curse. I'll remember coming up here with you but that's as far as I will know in my human form." She explained leaning into the woman's touch before getting up and wrapping an apron around herself since normal clothes wouldn't fit this form

Vivi shrugged before pulling her shirt over her head “Still seems like you'd freak out waking up with a naked woman in your bed....well or pleasantly surprised" She chuckled “Lets go see how the...whatever he is, is doing" She tugged on pants before slipping into boots and headed out the door

As the two left the room the warmth in the bracelet returned and something traveled from it and along Vivi’s arm trying to get into her mind

Vivi glanced down at the bracelet as she walked frowning and closing off her mind, she reached over and rubbed the bracelet just incase it tried to burn her again. She walked down the stairs peaking around the corner to see if Lorne was up as she took the last few steps into the basement

When she refused in entry it sought out another source and though Lorn was still asleep as Vivi approached Lorn’s mouth began to move as a voice not his own spoke making Suz startle " what's your favourite scent? what is your favourite flavour?" The voice asked almost dryly as if going through a list of boring questions it was being forced to ask because it was .

Vivi frowned hearing Lorne and moved closer to him “That's.....weird....why would he say junk like that in his sleep?" she leaned over Lorne and touched him gingerly trying to wake him up “Hey....hey Lorne"

Suz looked between the two confused "Your friend sure is odd" she said watching the odd conversation and keeping a safe distance

B-The voice became irritated "This is the bracelet talking through Lorn my dear thing now please answer my questions so we can get on with our existence as such" it said a bit of hurt and jealousy hidden among the tone it used now

She blinked in surprise glancing down at the bracelet on her wrist "what the…you talk? well..sort of" she glanced back to Lorne... then to Suz nodding in agreement with her "my favourite scent is jasmine and rain if its perfume...in general its pumpkin spice....same for flavour too" She shrugged “Why?" she perked a brow curiously

Suz could do nothing but blink her words lost at just how odd this was, even for her.

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 6 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

Vivi fell to the ground gasping and wincing from what little of the fire that was on Lorne touched her patting at her cloak and thankful she wore it as she coughed holding her throat. She scrambled for the bracelet clutching it to her breast as she looked up to see Lorne going after the witch pushing more magic into the illusion to try and keep the woman cowering

He collapsed when the witch was dead, the fire still threatening to burn him alive. “Vivi, the bracelet stroke it" He gasped, as he gave into the injuries and passed out next to the mutilated body of the witch.

She held the bracelet and stroked it like a cat while she caught her breath still coughing a bit

Lorn did nothing but the fire that threatened to consume and kill him died away as she stroked the bracelet at last. He was burnt all over, skin pealing in some places and bald spots on his wings from feather loss. He was barley breathing

Vivi rushed over to Lorne looking him over “Shit...Lorne!" She put the bracelet on and tried to move him but he was too heavy. Finally holding him as she began hopping from spot to spot with him, each time the pair burst into golden leaves as they disappeared and reappeared, getting them away from the witches house and near town before Vivi collapsed exhausted beside Lorn in the woods.

As she came to rest there was warmth from the bracelet and it changes shape to wrap more fully around her writs. It soon started changing colours landing on a shining purple, Vivi’s favorite color at that moment. Lorn groaned gasping for air still.

*** Sometime Later ***

When Vivi next woke she was in the infirmary in Wendy’s Tavern, a red head human looking her over "Boy what the hell, where you two up to. Him burnt to shit and you passed out?" She asked in her souther drawl

Vivi blinked and groaned before rolling and sitting up holding her head "what the hell....where are we?" she glanced at the woman still looking out of it

Suz smiled gently pushing her to lay back "You are in the Infirmary in the basement of Wendy's Tavern my dear." She told the woman "Now lay back, you need to rest" she coaxed her gently. She then moved to continue to wrap Lorn's burn flesh with cold wet dressings covered in some salve that stank. She then brought some water for Vivi to drink “Here love have something to drink" she says "Your friend is burnt pretty bad”

Vivi laid back as Suz nudged her and sighed “The infirmary? I've been to Wendy’s a million times and I never knew this was here....she was holding out on me" She smirked despite feeling like hell then glanced to the side watching the woman wrap Lorne’s wings “Is he going to be okay?" She looked at him worriedly feeling like shed failed him slightly letting him get so hurt

Suz nodded "He seems to have self healing abilities so he will heal himself in time. The salve will just help him along really. I don't have any magic so just everyday first aid for you two." She told her and smiled to Vivi "yha, I think Wendy told me it was some new addition before she hired me" She smiled kindly. The bracelet beginning to warm up on Vivi’s writs after being ignore for so long.

Vivi listened and sighed in relief laying back on the bed closing her eyes and nodding while she listened. The bracelet heated up until it was actually painful making her wake up again and yelp sitting up "OW! holy fuck!" She looked at her hand, forgetting about the bracelet until then and pulled on it…”What the hell?” She finally remembered to pet it and sat back rubbing the bracelet quickly more like she was trying to polish it but wanting to make the pain stop quickly

Suz startled hearing the woman call out "Is everything ok?" she asked Vivi, pausing in what she was doing to look over at her. The bracelet of course would cool down as Vivi pet it

Vivi blinked looking at Suz and sighing "yeah...just...hurt my wrist" She held up her hand to explain “I’m good....just help him...ignore me" She smirked and lay back down

Suz nodded and went back to patching up the passed out Lorn. "You know I doubt your friend here will be awake until tomorrow. If you like after I patch you up you can go stay in one of the rooms upstairs" She offered

Vivi listened and nodded “I’m good here for now...but maybe later"

She sighed finally finished her work with Lorn "Well I'm done with him for now, did you want something to eat or drink since I'm going to grab a few things from upstairs anyways?" She asked Vivi.

Vivi smiled moving to get up once more “If you’re going to go get food then I’ll come with you” she told Suz

Suz sighed and nodded "I was going to bring the food back down to you but all right missy, if you insist. So what's the tail with angel wings there. He your boy friend or something?" She asked Vivi

Vivi shook her head and glanced at Lorne “No...we just met yesterday. I helped him leave his master that's all"

The Odd Beginning of B - Part 5 [ Rating = L2,S2,V2 ]

Bastion Bux The Odd Beginning of B

Lorn moved unwillingly forward "I bring nothing to you master. I only return home as normal" He lied, but the witch moved the bracelet like a whip and without touching him whip marks appeared on his back. A twist of the bracelet had him gasping for air, as the sound of his rib breaking again could be heard

"don't lie to me boy, you make me angry when you lie" she says in her wheezy and old haggard voice

Vivi watched the witch in horror, rushing forward standing between the witch and Lorne even if it wouldn't do any good spreading her arms wide "STOP IT! STOP you retched old hag.!" She frowned, breathing heavily, trying to keep from simply rushing the woman

The witch cackled "You really think standing between me and him will stop his punish meant. You know for a fairy you're pretty dumb" She cackled, choking Lorn "Now little angel rip off her gaudy wings and snap her neck before I snap yours" She hissed warningly

Vivi glared at the witch before glancing back at Lorne and moving forward so she was out of his reach, incase he had to do what the witch said. Looking back at the witch hunting for what she was afraid of, using her gifts as autumn queen "Yeah well you’re still the ugliest witch I've ever seen…No wonder you have to force him to sleep with you...I wouldn't touch you with a ten foot pole you bitch" She smirked

Lorn moved as the choking stopped, the witch hisses "Trying to use fairy magic hu? Well lets see how you like my magic?" She says blowing stink powder in the girls face and making Lorn move to grab Vivi.

It's not long before he move to Vivi's side and reaches over to wrap a hand around her throat. His teeth clenched as he fights for control. But smoke rises from his wings the more he resists, threatening to burn him up.

The witch tosses blinding powder in the fairies face screeching "get her make her stop" She howls the fear starting to sink in

Vivi looked at the witch in surprise when she caught on to her magic, sputtering and coughing as the powder is blown in her face. she trys to fight off Lorne when he grabs her kicking and wiggling not wanting to hurt him “Stop…Stop it Lorne..." She finally screamed before it was cut off as Lorne wrapped a hand around her throat, he could feel her pulse fluttering very fast against his hands from the veins in her neck as she struggled trying to blink the dust out of her eyes. Finally she uses glamour to make the whole front yard of the witches cabin into what the woman feared most in sheer defence

The witch yelled in fear but pressed the angel on “Kill her, kill her” She chanted, griping the bracelet tightly as her fears came at her making her face go pale.

Lorns's black wings caught flame even as his grip tightened around Vivi’s throat. He was struggling and Vivi would see the flash of something or was it someone else staring out from Lorne's eyes. But it was too quick of an instance to know for sure.

Vivi kept struggling tying to stay conscious, finally blinking the powder from her eyes as she saw Lorne’s wings catch fire and gasped. Her body going slack in his arms as she tried to stop fighting him in hopes that it would save him from further harm though she kept the illusion up…Her focus on that and trying to keep breathing around Lorne’s tight grasp…She started to breath terribly slow despite the pain it caused her lungs while Lorne squeezed her, holding her off the ground "Lorne...it's okay..." She rasped trying to speak as best she can... "I....I prom,,,ised...I'd..free you" she wheezed and tried to cough, only making her throat hurt worse as she turned her violet eyes to the witch looking at her murderously watching her cower in fear “What..ever...you...see...I hope..it ki...kills you....bitch"

Lorne’s eyes glow brilliant white "No It's not ok, I can't hurt you. I.." He didn't finish the sentence, as he was now fully being consumed in fire he dropped Vivi at last and stalked over to the witch who's face deadpan. She tried everything but even the bracelet seemed against her. It turned black in her hand and no matter how much damage she tried to cause nothing was happening. Lorn grabbed the bracelet screaming in pain as he tossed it to Vivi then began his attack on the witch, who was too lost to fear to do much in defence.

She nodded in understanding not seemingly bothered at all “Well if she’s as bad as you say I’m not surprised. I doubt she has much luck finding men on her own and you’re quite handsome so..." She shrugged glancing down beginning to draw in the dirt with the stick she still held.

He smirked a bit and felt shy as she complemented him "It...It's what I was made for" he told her. Finally enough time had passed for him to feel up to moving without wheezing and he got up and looked to her “You sure about this then?" He double checked with her.

She nodded again in understanding having met several changelings made for similar reason. She glanced at him as he got to his feet and nodded “Yeah... I'm sure" She got up and dusted off her clothes "I wouldn't be a very good person if I walked away from this would I?" She picked up her cloak a pretty dark blue thing dusted with shimmering lights like stars and draped it over her shoulders

He felt a pull and his hand moved without his bidding to brush her cheek again as he smiled, so beautiful, The though came to his mind yet he had no clue where from. But it was gone as quickly as it came. He quickly pulled his hand away from her "I... I'm sorry, I really don't know what's gotten into me today" he says.

She blinked but stood still letting him touch her and smiled. The smile growing as He apologized and shook her head, her blue curls swinging gently “it's okay. It doesn’t bother me, fae are very touchy feely creatures so its pretty common for me" She shrugged “Let’s go deal with your witch" She smirked gesturing for him to lead the way

He nods and moves off into the woods leading the way. The fact they are walking making it take longer then it should. But after awhile they finally come to the edge of the clearing where the cottage was. Even from this distance Vivi could feel the pulsating magic barrier around the cabin.

She followed him through the woods glancing around casually trying to remember the way. "This would be so much easier if we flew but I didn’t want to give us away" She sighed turning as she felt the barrier the closer they got, the thing making her skin crawl as she rubbed her arms

He looked to her “Right, I will fight her if you get the bracelet. I can't touch the thing or I burn up. Also you will need to stroke the bracelet, it’s what keeps the magic concealed in it at bay. If you stop, again I'll burn up.” He explained quickly

Vivi listened to him and nodded glancing to the house “Right... Are you sure you can fight her on your own?" She glanced at the cabin again "I'll help if you need me to"

He sighed "well I guess we will fined out won't we" He said sounding a bit afraid himself. Yet he stood now and began walking forward through the barrier. To him it was like nothing, because he was suppose to be here. But to Vivi it would have a sickeningly sweet smell to it and an oppressing pressure that would weigh on her as she walked forward.

She watched him walk through then put her hand out testing it frowning at the pressure before stepping through having to push till she reached the other side and covered her mouth to keep from gagging, glancing at the barrier warily “Ugh…That’s awful" She shook her head whispering

He tilted his head, not having felt the same thing she had. "We must be quite or the witch will know we are here" He said. But for that it was already too late, The magic had done it's work and let the woman know of their arrival.

She nodded and fell into step behind him walking to the house using his larger frame to hide her a bit

He moved into the cottage, a dry old voice greeting him "Back so soon boy and with a gift for your master, bring it here" She said making a motion with the bracelet in her hand that jerked him further into the room.

Vivi jumped slightly hearing the witch, but kept quiet as the woman dragged Lorne closer. There wasn't much she could do about it since she'd been found out ,so she stayed in place to keep away from her for now
