Flashback after Aria's call
Ezra watches Charlotte from a distance. She paced around the living room on the phone. Ezra steps on a branch and Charlotte's head turns in Ezra's direction. He ducks and she turns back her attention to the phone call. Ezra can read her lips, which are only saying small words.
Yes. Ok. Sure.
She hangs up, pulls on a white cardigan and heads to the kitchen. She starts to write on a piece of paper and then folds it, placing it under the flower pot on the table. She finally heads for the door and starts to walk. Ezra creeps behind her, thinking it would be better to follow her than kill her right on the front lawn. When she finally gets to the bell tower, it's half past 5:00. She creeps up the stairs, Ezra right on her tail. He holds the weapon, gripping it hard. Charlotte obviously not noticing her presence. He swings the weapon over his shoulder and pounds down on Charlotte's back. She stumbles to the floor and her head makes a crack as she falls. Blood rushes from her head. She builds enough energy to turn her body over to face Ezra. Her eyes get wide when she notices who it was.
"Ezra" Charlotte chokes out
"Please"
Ezra ignores her calls, stands over her body and watches as she struggles on for life, hoping he wouldn't have to go for option two. Throwing her off the tower.
