A day passed by, Paul had explained to Charm that his father found out but was fine about it and Charm explained that Arabella found out and was also fine about it. They both agreed that Charm's mum should not find out for as long as possible. Charm had still not come to terms with Lorelie yet and they still blanked each other. 

Charm and Paul had agreed to meet up in the town as they usually did, but this time Paul wanted Charm to meet his friend Duncan. Charm had agreed and she was currently sat down in her bedroom, she had about half an hour before she was to leave the house. So she waisted that time laying in her bed, there was no point in going down stairs because her Mother was down there and Charm still didn't want to speak to her.

But that thought still lingered in her brain, maybe she was being dramatic about the whole situation? She rolled her eyes and made sure that she shut her brain off for thinking that much. She got up and walked down stairs, she now had ten minutes so she decided she should begin walking. She hurried past Lorelie and opened the door before shutting it behind her.

The heat of the air was immediately felt, she enjoyed this heat although she used to complain about it when she was little but now it just seemed normal. She walked down the usual street and the usual paths until she reached the town, Charm looked around for Paul but didn't see him yet so she walked round town to get time to move on quicker.

There were many people around, although she couldn't help but notice the feeling of someone staring at her. When she turned around all she could see was the sides of peoples faces as they walked past her. "What the fuck" she said to herself, she turned back around and as soon as she did the stare came back. She turned around quickly and saw someone's eyes glaring into hers.

A face that was recognisable but she didn't know where from, they only locked eyes for a few seconds before the man was gone. She felt her heart was racing with fear, who was he and why was his face to familiar to her? She wondered that thought for a while. 

"Charm" Paul's voice knocked her out of her trance, she looked at him "are you okay?" He asked. She just nodded and smiled, he sent a smile back. "This is Duncan by the way" Paul introduce the brunette behind him. He was much older than Paul and Charm and had quite long hair, "hey" Charm smiled. "So this is the lady" Duncan smiled, "she's great isn't she" Duncan laughed.

She could hear Paul and Duncan chatting but she looked away and blocked out their voices in desperation to find that man but he was no where to be seen, "charm?" Paul asked. Charm looked back at Paul "are you sure your okay?" He questioned again. Charm sighed, "I swear I saw someone" she said.

"Who" Duncan asked, "I don't know but I recognised him and now he is gone" Charm looked around to find the oddly pale and bald man but yet again he was no where. "He looked like someone I used to know but I can't put a pin on it" Charm tried to think. Paul listened while Duncan felt his heart drop, he had a bad feeling that this man may be a harkronnen. "What did he look like?" Paul asked.

"Pale skin and a bald head" Charm shrugged, "and he was wearing black" charm added. "Harkronnen" Duncan whispered to himself but Charm heard. "What did you say?" She felt time almost stop. "Harkronnen" Duncan said louder, "that man?!" Charm questioned.

"Why are they back?" Paul asked, Duncan shrugged "tell your dad to keep an eye out, we don't want anyone getting hurt" Duncan raced off.
