Timing much?

[Charlotte]

What was she doing in this town, again? Charlotte asked herself for the fifteenth time that day as she found herself sandwiched between two people in the train. They were siblings, she could tell…huge siblings at that too. The black haired girl sat with her arms crossed and her thighs tightly shut together as she found herself trying hard to breathe with the two of them beside her. “Honestly…what am I doing here?”She sighed…again.

It was a spur of the moment kind of thing for the young lass. She was getting bored, staying cooped up in the headquarters wall, doing nothing but write out reports after report for her older brother who was surprisingly slacking off on his job. The feeling was vague but Charlotte had noticed her brother’s change in attitude for the last three to four days. He seemed to come home late, he seem to push his work back to his assistant and from what she has heard by a whispering blonde in the town, he has been hanging out with girls. From the guards, she had heard that he had been frequenting a small pub in the town too. Her brother was changing for the worst.

Kunugi village is peaceful or so was the train of thoughts that went through Charlotte’s head. She was alive, surprisingly, after being squished like a grape in between two humongous siblings. All things considered, she was happy she was able to survive that two hour ride. Now, walking through the not so busy streets of Kunugi village, Charlotte was starting to see the differences between Oak and this village. Oak town was more busy. In fact, you wouldn’t walk around that place without bumping into someone or being pushed around. Though, Charlotte has never been pushed around what with her being the Council princess and what not.

The sudden sound of a crash had the unsuspecting girl knocked off her feet. Blinking at the smoke that settled in the place, the raven haired female coughed a little before getting up and going over to a warehouse where the sound or rather explosion came from. It was difficult to see with the smoke but she was able to make out several figures surrounding the place. “What the hell is going on in here?” she asked out loud. Bad idea…their attention turned to her now and the smoke cleared letting her get a good look at her enemies.

Their attention on her didn’t seem to last too long though for they were back to breaking ad damage anything and everything that had the misfortune of being right in front of their eyes. Charlotte’s vision focused on a man on the ground staring at her with wide eyes. She saw his lips move, asking her to help him. Charlotte being Charlotte, sighed as she scratched her head to come up with some sort of plan for the whole ordeal. So far, those idiots were using nothing but brute force to destroy everything. Charlotte would probably have to do the same.

She rushed in, punching one of them straight in the face before following it up with a kick to his gut. She was going to kick him where it hurts the most too when she was yanked off of him by another thug before pushing her to the ground. She felt his fist connect with her face multiple times before Charlotte thrust a lightning ball straight onto the attacker’s chest, cutting down his heart beat for a few seconds, just enough time to push him off of her. “That’s one down,” she spat out, wiping the blood off her face.

The next five thugs came at her all together, leaving her with no choice but to summon her whips to keep them at a distance. She kept hitting the whips on the ground, creating a sort of barrier around her which means that if they came any closer, they were going to get electrocuted. That seemed to stop them on their track for a little while though. In a quick movement, Charlotte was spinning with her whips, effectively managing to hit every single thug once. It knocked them back a few feet as Charlotte still kept up with the whip’s movement.

She had started moving them in a criss cross manner when she noticed a guy in a shield standing not too far away from her. ‘That guy is a mage,’ she concluded in her head as she pulled the whip back and hit the barrier with it, following the assault up with the next whip and the first one again, breaking the barrier in less than a minute. The man looked scared…scared as if he was just caught stealing cookies by his mom. Anyhow, the other thugs looked pretty scared now. Before she realized, they were running away from her.

“Oh my...we can’t have that…” she chuckled as she raced after them, managing to reach two of them with her whips, sending them falling straight on the ground with face first. “That’s gonna hurt,” she commented before looking at the other two that managed to run quite far away from her. She used one of her lightning balls to stop one of them while she had to run after the other who had gone out of her spell’s reach. About three minutes later, Charlotte recognized the way they were running….he s going to the train station.

Narrowing her eyes at the back of him, Charlotte turned a quick left, taking a detour that would help her intercept the other thug. She successfully stopped him of course. As he ran straight into her, Charlotte decided to use her lightning body spell, which more or less knocked him out. Dragging him back to Dane was a pain but she managed to do it without much help. By the time she got there, she saw that Dane already had the other ones tied up. Throwing the spell caster thug towards Dane, she sighed in relief before giving a small smile. “I’m expecting that reward.”
