You're Mine

Your power regave me new life

Alastor stood to leave, but Charlie grabbed him before he could move. "Not you," She said with a smile. "I gotta tell you something important." Alastor was confused for a moment, but she could see the intrigue in his eyes. "I suppose if it's important to you, then it must be imperative. I'm listening."

"Okay. I don't know if I'm supposed to tell you this, because the person who helped me out there was really secretive. But...something as strange as this shouldn't be kept a secret." Charlie had moved as close to him as possible without crushing her wires. "I...I saw where he came from." "Who would that be, exactly?" Alastor asked.

Charlie didn't want to upset him with bringing the heavy topic to the surface, but she felt it held a deeper meaning. "Monster. I know where he came from." The demon looked away, sighing. "Darling, he's not a real creature. He didn't come from anywhere, he...just exists." "You might think that, but I met others like him. When..."

The blonde pushed her bangs from her face. "I...I refused to die. There's this...realm, where all the people who can't move on reside. They turn into 'Thoughts'. And the one that helped me...her name was Healing. She had bright white eyes, and the rest had other colors." Charlie stiffened as she came to a conclusion.

"Wait, if they all represent a thought, their color should have something to do with it. What if Monster isn't Monster at all? His eyes were green..." Alastor stared at her in disbelief, his mouth agape slightly. "What if...he was Jealousy?" "Charlie, do you realize what you have just uncovered?!"

His eyes glowed brightly in excitement. "You may have not only found a way to communicate with lost souls, but to also revert Monster to his purest form!" Charlie felt pride flutter in her chest. For once, she did a good thing.

"But...how?" The princess asked, confused as to how he made that assumption. "If Monster is Jealousy, then we need to make him feel the opposite. Adoration." Alastor turned away in thought. "How to do that..." "Is there something or someone in particular he is jealous of? Is he jealous of you?" The demon shifted his gaze back to her.

Charlie laughed shortly. "I mean...I'd be pretty fuckin' jealous of you if I were him." "No no no, I am merely his toy to play with when he isn't wrecking havoc on someone else's-I KNOW WHAT IT IS!" He yelled, bouncing up.

"He's jealous of love! That is why he repeatedly rips lovers apart, he cannot have that same feeling! Oh Charlie, you've just discovered something that could improve the lives and afterlives of millions!"
