Ch 22 Displeasing Discovery

Chalrie sits in the dark room crying once more still unsure of how to get out.

I need to its been so long…I miss Vaggie, dad, Alastor..

Suddenly the door swang open aggressively. As it did, Chalrie jumped up a river of hope flooded her body but no.

“Mr. Vox?”

He didn't say anything as he walked up to Charlie with the blessed rope over one shoulder. Charlie felt her body shiver and she back up against a wall. “W-what are you doing.” Vox signed making eye contact with Charlie's scared eyes then looked away. “I'm sorry princess I have to do this…But..I need you“

He needs me? What's he gonna do? Charlie runs through a few scenarios in her head all of witch are unpleasant.

“I need to understand something first,” Chalrie looks up at vox as he speaks. “,You really did help me see the truth princess. And…I just….fuck I'm not trying to hurt you..I might evening care a little about you..trust me, once we get over this lump you'll stay here forever with me okay?”

Charlie felt confused and scared. One, at his tone leading Chalrie to believe he was serious. Two, at his words.

I can't stay here no no NO I can't. “M-mr. Vox I can't I have friends and family who-”

“I will be your new friends and family alright? Now shut up.”

“ADAM god damn it GET YOUR ASS IN HERE.”

Why is he still here?! Chalrie felt her body jolt at Adams name, the princess shifted her gaze to her arm were Adam had infected a bruise onto her.

“uhh can I not rest for 5 minutes without one of you fucking pricks annoying me? WHAT!”

“now now adam, be careful with that tone for yours. Don't forget, we are letting you stay her if you don't cause trouble.”

Adam sighs nodding stepping fully I to the dark room. “right, now what do you need?”

Vox nods over at Charlie. “I need you to…” vox mouths something to Adam and he nods. “I'll tell you when okay?” Vox turns to Chalrie walking directly up to her. Chalrie freezes pushing herself against the wall more.

Vox stops beside her placing a hand on her shoulder, “I'm sorry princess, its for your own good.”

Vox suddenly pushes Chalrie to the ground, A surprised shriek leaves Charlie's lips as she lands on her knees.

“Vox quickly bends down grabbing her wrists and forcing then behind her back.

Charlie struggles her breathing heavy. “Get away from me!”

Charlie tries to use her power and realizes she couldn't. Dread fills her body as she looks down to she the blessed rope tied around her body.

“Now.”

Adam started approaching her cackling as he did so. “No please.” Chalrie bursts into tears as she struggles to get the rope off of her. “I need to get back I need them please-”
