The Last Hour

Part 8

Bram's POV:

The girl continues to struggle in the chair, giving out small curses here and there and yells out, "I'm going to kill you! I swear to god I am going to kill you Bram!!"

I watch from the kitchen, helpless in this situation and notice that my brother was staring into the litter box with longing. I raise an eyebrow and say, "Tokoshi, your blade won't just magically float out of the litter box unscathed."

Tokoshi glances up at me and scowls out ,"I wouldn't have this problem if you didn't have your cat bury it in a pile of shit!" His eyes glow an angry sapphire, clearly pissed at me.

I give him an are-you-serious glare and I say to him, "Really? You are mad at me for telling my cat to throw away your blade?!? We wouldn't be in this situation if you didn't pull it out and threaten the prisoner to begin with!" I push back my bangs to one side, looking at the prisoner.

She was biting at the rope, trying to get it untied and I say to her, "It's useless, I have a gift to tie things rather well; so don't waste your time with it." I give her a smug smile, watching her continue at this.                                                   

The girl gives me a glare of pure hatred, she spits onto my newly cleaned floor and spat out, "I'll get out out of these in due time..." She yanks on it once more, before a disappointed look comes across her face. "...Sometime today..."

Later in the day...

I was sitting in the kitchen, silently staring at the letter I have gotten in the mail. It was from my father, who was telling me that I only have a limited time left before he has left this world.

Dear Bram,
I am sorry son but you don't have much time left. You need to find Cronus and retrieve him. Do nothing but retrieve Cronus.
Sincerely,
Your father

The assassin was silently staring at the wall, a placid look playing on her face. She really hasn't said anything to me for hours and she gave up on getting out of the ropes.

I get up out of the chair and walk into the living room, I take a seat in front of her and say, "Are you ready to tell me?"

She looks up at me, an irritated look playing on her face now and says, "Kiss my fucking ass."

I growl at her response and say to her, "This is not going as I wanted it to go." I push back my hair, chewing on my lower lip.  Damn girl is so frustrating and I can't stand this any longer. She's driving me insane. I got to release her, but if I do that she'll just escape and Tokoshi will be even more pissed at me.

I glanced at the clock, giving out an exasperated groan and say to her, "Alright lady, I'll let you go if you answer the question. And then we both can go our separate loved from there."

"I have a name you know..." She mutters under her breath and stares at me.

I raised an eyebrow at her, amused and I say, "Alright tell me then. Your name."
