Shadow Possession

"I don't know how it got into your hands, because I personally told that moron, to protect it with his life!" Jamie yelled, his expression cracking to reveal unbridled rage. "So give it back!"

Silence. 

Damion didn't speak for a second or two, contemplating his next words. He had suspicions that the Jaws of Ophidia was related to the Green Rose Poison Heart and the Feral Brotherhood gang, and Jamie had just confirmed that they had hands in the origins of the Jaws of Ophidia. 

"I can't," Damion responded, earning him a surprised stare from Jamie.

"You won't?" Jamie asked with a raised brow and tilted head. 

"No, I didn't say I won't, but can't," Damion replied, resisting the urge to call the student an idiot.

The Jaws of Ophidia was stuck to him, unable to be removed for some unknown reason. If he even told the student before him that, what were the odds that he won't just try to kill Damion and take it off his dead body?
