Nothing could have prepared her for what she had seen and done. All she really wanted was to have him back in her life, even if it ment doing something stupid.
When they walked into the house, she was surprised to see that it was pretty clean. She would have expected the man to make a mess of the place, and not even bother to clean it. However, the entryway itself, was enough to tell her that she was wrong.
"As you can see, I'm a neat freak." Ryan said. "Ever since Taylor died, I've been cleaning nonstop."
Chara glanced around the room for a second time, walking into the living room after taking off her shoes. Her eyes hadn't changed back since they left. Meaning that they were practically glowing red at this point.
"Looks nice" She said, quickly getting to the point of coming here. "Where's the book?"
"In my study, I'll go find it." He said, before walking passed the open kitchen and heading up the stairs.
The house was very big... it still had that rancid orchid and lilac smell that sent flashbacks into Chara's mind. Sure, the house looked different, but it was still the same house that Ryan grew up in.
Ryan, while the two of them were still in their late grades of high school, had told her that the family would pass down the house. Which meant that the parents would move out, and let the oldest kid get house they grew up in.
So... what did that mean?
This was the same house Ryan had basically dragged her into, pulling at her heartstrings till he got what he wanted.
Chara sighed. She didn't have feelings for humans like him anymore. Especially him...
"What the hell is taking so long?!" Chara shouted up the stairs.
"I'm looking! Give me a minute!" Ryan yelled back.
He smiled to himself, remembering how impatient she was in the past as well. One instance popped back into his mind.
They were in middle school, and he had started to gain feelings for the girl... They had known each other since kindergarten. However on this particular day, he couldn't stop staring at her while she ate in the cafeteria.
When Chara would look over to him, he'd turn towards his own lunch and take a bite, red blush dusting his face. He remembered her getting upset and asking nonstop about why he was looking at her.
Ryan continued to look around the study, having multiple bookshelves was not helping him find what he needed. He groaned as he pondered why he ever thought that reading was a hobby of his.
Chara on the other hand had begun to explore the first floor of the house. She didn't want to even dare to venture down into the basement. Not after what happened here...
"Huh..." She said out loud, looking at the counter in the bathroom.
In the back corner, next to the wall, there was a small white candle with a thick green ribbon tied around the casing. She remembered when she gave him that candle, back in ninth grade during their grade nine graduation.
They decided that they were going to wear matching outfits, and they both pitched in to buy Chara something to wear other than her sweaters and shorts. It wasn't long, or even that flashy, but it was really pretty.
She wore a light green dress that went up to the middle of her thighs, while Ryan wore a white suit with a matching green tie. The candle was something that Chara had seen while they were in the mall, looking for the outfits. After they had bought the clothes, Chara had just enough money to buy the mall candle and give it to him.
She was surprised he had kept it...
"GOD DAMN IT!" Ryan screamed from upstairs.
"What is it now?!" Chara yelled back, getting annoyed with how long this was taking.
She walked out of the bathroom as Ryan ran down the stairs with a book in his arms. Chara's eyes seemed to glow brighter as she saw the skull on the cover.
"We wrecked it!" Ryan said, opening it up to show the black marker written all over the insides.
Chara stopped smiling, and her eyes went wide. Walking, seemingly calmly, towards the terrified man.
"No it's not" She said, ripping the book out of his hands. "We were children. We only need...."
She flipped through the pages, only the first couple having black marker on them. She stopped on one of the last pages and flipped the book around to show Ryan what page she had chosen.
"What?!?!" Ryan took a step back, eyes going wide. "No! No no no! NO!"
Chara's face glared at the man and she grabbed the color of his shirt, practically lifting him up. The look of fear stretched across the man's face. How familiar....
"Why so afraid?" Chara asked symply. "You can handle anything"
And there it was.
"Oh, Chara can handle anything..."
The line Ryan had said to the three other men on that terrible day. Ryan's wide eyes began to tear up as Chara's neutral face stared at him.
"I... I-I'm sorry!" Ryan was crying. "I-I really didn't want to! T-they made me!"
"Why should I believe you? Who? Who were they?!" Chara's eyes were glowing so bright at they almost seemed to be blinding.
A look of pure hate on her face as she pulled on his shirt, causing him to look right into her face.
"Y-y'know! J-Jake and Kyle!" He managed to get out, trying his best not to seem like he was attacking her.
"Who else? There was one more, idiot!" Chara sneared.
"I-I don't remember h-his name!" Ryan closed his eyes, readying himself for the oncoming impact of something sharp to pierce his body. "I-it s-started with a 'J'! That's a-all I remember!"
Chara instantly dropped the man, and for the first time in over an hour, her eyes were back to their natural light brown. Ryan looking at Chara, concerned for her.... And for the first time in a while.... A very long while... he felt himself caring about her... caring about someone...
A look of realization and another memory flew passed Chara's mind.
The dreaded day that she REALLY didn't want to remember....
She realized who the fourth man was.
"Oh no..." She said.
