The Bound Fedora

Chapter 13: New Rotten Meat

Sidney couldn't believe what she had just done. She enjoyed the feel of the hot water running over her freshly sore legs and did her best to ignore the little bit of blood trickling down her leg. Despite the fact that she was partly disgusted with herself she couldn't help but dwell on how good it felt. Freddy wasn't lying when he said he'd make sure she'd enjoy it even at the expense of having to control himself to not hurt her. Getting dressed she couldn't think straight on the matter and tried to put it out of her mind. There was a light knock on her door.

"Come in." She said wondering who it would be. The door opened to reveal Kenda.

"Hi... I just wanted to come apologize for what I said earlier. It was completely uncalled for. I'm just... scared you know." She admitted sitting on Sidney's bed. She glared at her and wanted to yell at her but she knew she couldn't still needing her help to find out more on the spell she used.

"I didn't say such nice things either. It's just still so hard to adjust. I lost my only friend. I thought I made a new friend in Niki but she'd rather spend all her time with Darrien now." She explained sadly.

"Well then I'll be your new friend." Kenda smiled making Sidney smile back at her. They ate lunch together and she helped Kenda look more into the binding spell she used. After going through several of Kenda's books they finally found several mentions of it but never the spell itself.

"Finally..." Kenda said into the book she was going through. "The spell is called Béestl ó Ateh Yinniye Yisidá which basically means bound together for protection. In Navajo tribes it was done through special circumstances in order to protect the child who was chosen to become the new tribe leader until he reached of age and they would make a new bond once the next successor had been chosen."

"So it can be undone." Sidney said out loud happily to herself.

"It doesn't say, but whomever does the ritual is bound to the other until they die or until the other person dies and they die with them. It also says that once they were bound they could feel each other's pain and find one another easily if they were ever separated. They stopped using the ritual when the youngest in line to be trained as leader died of a strange disease and it started a chain reaction killing off everyone that had been above him in the ranks that had also been bound everyone back then lived to be at least seventy five killing over ten of them... that's just horrible... it's too bad Freddy isn't human. We could use it against him and bind him to someone that was scheduled to get lethal injection or something." Kenda suggested with an evil smile making Sidney's heart sink imagining what she might do if she ever found out about her and Freddy.

Kenda noticed the look on Sidney's face. "Sorry I know you don't like to talk about him as much, but you never know."

"Yeah..." She said quietly and turned her attention to the book she was reading. Not after long they decided to take a break and see what everyone else was up to.

Freddy tore himself away from Sidney but even as he went after a few victims he still listened to her thoughts the whole time. At least she was finding more out about the link but it still worried him that there was no mention in how to reverse it. Trying his best to stay focused on killing and tormenting it was so hard to keep away from watching her and didn't even attempt to block out her thoughts.

Everyone sat in the room where they seemed to always have their little group meetings waiting to meet the new patient. Delvin walked in with a boy at his heels. He had three small slices across his cheek and his obviously bleached hair was starting to show his brown roots and was gelled up into perfect little spikes. The smug look on his face when his eyes traced over each girl in the room made Sidney want to punch him in the groin. His Volcom shirt fit tightly on his overly tanned over worked out arms and his shorts revealed his burly hairy legs. She could already tell that she was not going to like him and knew that Freddy was responsible for him being there almost feeling as if this was payback for all the trouble she had given him in the beginning.
