✦Charlotte✦ Witch of Nightmares  ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte attempted to use the remainder of her energy to get deep enough into the forest where hopefully no one would find her. Just like that the shadows dispersed and Charlotte collapsed on the ground, reverting to her normal form. Charlotte began panting hard from exhaustion, her body drained of almost all of her energy now. She really hoped there were no bears or anything around. At this point, she was completely vulnerable to anything and most likely will be for a while. She laid motionlessly except for her heavy breathing for a little while before managing to move herself and sat up so she was laying against the trunk of a large tree. She continued panting, a look of pain on her flushed face while she stared up at the tree line. She hadn't gone all out like that in a very long time. What was going to happen now? She doubted she would be able to even walk for two days or so. It was only a matter of time until someone or something found her in the weakened and pathetic state. God knows what would happen to her then. Her eye lids soon became heavy as she continued breathing hard. She eventually couldn't keep them open any longer and closed them tightly as she dreaded what may happen to her in the near future. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

✦Charlotte✦ Witch of Nightmares ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte continued trying to catch her breath with her eyes closed. She was too weak to do anything else. Then she heard a sound. Someone or something was there with her. Already? There wasn't anything she could do about it anyway. Instead she just laid there, eyes closed still as she waited for someone to attack or or scream witch or something like that. Even as a witch she was going to die in a pathetic way... nothing changed. She felt a warm hand on her forehead. Then fingers on her neck. Her heart picked up pace. What was going on? Suddenly the person picked her up and spoke and she automatically recognized the voice. Vincent found her that quickly. Her eyes jerked open and she looked up at him "W-Why are you-?!" she winced suddenly, her body aching from just simply moving. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

✦Charlotte✦ Witch of Nightmares ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Listening to Vincent, Charlotte only laid in his arms quietly, her eyes barely open as she just stared out into open space. She wasn't a fool. She knew he knew who she was. "Do I scare you?..." she asked eventually as he continued walking. "Humans are taught that we... witches, demons, kishin.... that we are monsters that you should be afraid of... and that you should hate us and kill us if you had the chance... So... Are you scared of me? Do you hate me?... Are you going to take me back to that village and have me killed?..." Charlotte went quiet again, partially because she was waiting for his reply and partially because it took a lot to speak. She wouldn't be surprised if he did take her back to the village and announce that she was a witch. He was a soldier who was supposed to kill things like her. Part of her deep down really hoped that wasn't it though and was saddened at the thought of it. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

✦Charlotte✦ Witch of Nightmares ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte continued staring into blank space as she leaned against Vincent while he carried her and spoke. She didn't say anything and closed her eyes as she made it back to town. Her heart was pounding as she waited for her demise to come. She waited for someone to somehow recognize her or for Vincent to announce that he had a witch in his arms. Then he heard Vincent speak and her heart stopped for a moment. She kept her eyes closed and listened as he addressed the villagers. Why was he doing this? They had only known each other for a short time and to openly act like he didn't know she was a witch. He had said anyone who would not kill a witch or demon or kishin or even report them would be a traitor... Once Vincent made it to her temporary home, Charlotte's eyes opened slightly and she looked up at him "Why?" she asked again. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

✦Charlotte✦ Witch of Nightmares ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte watched Vincent intensely from her view from the bed. Part of her was going to ask if he was seriously willing to be a traitor just to save her, a girl he most likely just had a crush on. His gaze said otherwise. She stared at him for a solid minute, staring into his eyes before she finally tore her gaze away to look at the ceiling. Her face was still flushed and her breathing was still heavy but it had calmed down some. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

✦Charlotte✦ Witch of Nightmares ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte listened to Vincent as he explained everything. She muffled a small attempted laugh "So you like spiting the military?" she said jokingly. She continued staring up at the ceiling. It seemed to make more sense that he would do that because of his past with the military instead of just because. "Well you saved me... you can leave now if you want... I don't really need to eat at all or anything like that..." she said. The bed was so comfortable, her body began to sink into it and relax. She breathed deeply now, her breathing was almost normal though she still looked sick and a little in pain. She was feeling tired in more ways than one. It was getting harder to focus now. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

Hearing Charlotte, Vincent shook his head, "I'm going to stay here, until I am sure that you are truly alright." he told her before noticing how she was becoming more tired. "You should go ahead and get some sleep. As long as I'm here, I can guarantee that no harm will come to you." Vincent stated.

✦Charlotte✦ Witch of Nightmares ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Hearing Vincent, a small smile appeared on Charlotte's face as her body began to relax more and more "I'm glad... you are staying then... I can't explain it but... I feel really comfortable when you are around..." She seemed close to drifting off a few times but then her eyes would open and look at the ceiling once more, like she kept thinking about something. "I... I... used to be human... I lived in a village like the one here... My family was poor though... we didn't make much money... By the time I was fourteen, I was on my own... Still I was happy... I kept staying positive... There was... this tree at the center of town... it became tradition for lovers to propose to each other underneath it... ever since I was little... I always dreamed of that happening to me... Like a fairy tale almost..." Charlotte explained tiredly between breaths. "I met a man one day... he was so nice... and kind... he looked like he could be a prince... I was surprised he talked to me... and eventually he said he loved me... I thought my dreams were going to come true then... He asked me one day to meet him by the tree at midnight... I thought that would be a wonderful day... I went to the tree which was in bloom with hundreds of blossoms... It was so pretty under the moonlight... I waited... and waited... and when he finally arrived he wasn't alone... He was with his friends... They had all been drinking... And the man that I had loved had went from kind to an angry and violent drunk... He and his friends beat me in front of the tree... and said things... Things that hurt more than their fists... Then they wondered what would happen if they tied me up to the tree and lit it on fire... It hurt more than anything... and they just watched and laughed until they got bored and left with me still tied to the tree... I'm... pretty sure I died that day... but something made me stay and come back as a monster... I was so angry... for a while... I was so hurt... I ended up finding the man I had once looked to as my potential future... and I became his nightmare... and I kept coming back and torturing him until he died... same for his friends..." Charlotte stopped speaking then as she closed her eyes. She caught her breath for a few moments. "After that... I was alone for so long... I was mad for so long... then that anger just turned... to numbness... Part of me... wanted to be found out as a witch... Part of me wanted to die... Because then maybe... something may be waiting for me on whatever is on the other side of this life... that I was unable to get to before..." Charlotte didn't open her eyes again, it appeared that she had finally accepted sleep "But... now that you are here... I wouldn't mind... living a bit longer...." Charlotte admitted before going silent. Her face was still flush but her breathing had gone back to normal. She breathed deeply as she slept and looked much more relaxed as well. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗

✦Charlotte✦ Witch of Nightmares ✗┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓✗ Charlotte continued to sleep for quite a few hours. It was surprising since she had used up quite a bit of energy and her body needed to try and make it all back up. Charlotte didn't sleep often. She didn't really have to or want to. She didn't ever want to know what the Witch of Nightmares' nightmares were like if she had any. Luckily, Charlotte was in a deep, peaceful, and dreamless sleep. Overtime the flush in her face began to fade slightly so she didn't look as red. By the time she awoke, it was night time. She stirred slightly before her eyes slowly opened for a moment before closing again. She turned and laid on her side then and opened her eyes again, her face buried slightly in the pillow as she tried to wake up. ✗┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ ✗
