>"Their diary mentioned borrowing the power of a caterpillar to return to human form, so that seems like something to try out," he says.
>"A... caterpillar?"

>Without thinking, I cause a few light butterflies to flicker around me.


"Yeah," he replies. "I don't really know much about the wildlife around where you are, though... if there aren't any in your area or it's not the season or whatever then I could always overnight a few to your house."

No, I'm all too familiar with those. I've spent plenty of time brushing them away from the flowers in the park by my house's flower bed so I know -exactly- where I can find them around now.

"That's fine," I say, "I know where to look."
"You do?" he sighs. "That's a relief... oh- but it has to be a -moth- caterpillar. Not a butterfly."
"...huh?"

I don't get why there would be a difference.

"The diary didn't say the reason why," he explains, "but it definitely specified that a moth caterpillar was used."
"......" my brow furrows. "...that's a little more work but I should still be able to find one," I reply.
"Great," he says.

"I, uh..." I glance at Charlotte, "...I should probably get out there and start searching as soon as possible," I say. "Thanks for all your help, Mr. Gauthier."
"I'm the one who ought to be thanking you," he replies. "A lot of people would have abandoned Charlotte after what happened, but here you are trying your best to help her. It's nice to know that my daughter has someone who she can depend on while she's away from home."
"It-" dammit, I can feel the blood rushing to my face, "it's nothing, really..."

What the hell am I doing getting embarrassed at a time like this?

>>41963669
So is that better or worse than removed?

>>41963685
>[2/2]


"A- anyways, um-" I stammer, "I'll call you back once I get that caterpillar!"

Completely flustered, I mash the screen of Charlotte's phone over and over and over again until I finally manage to hang up.

"Ugh..." I place the phone on the counter and slump over. "...I'm so stupid..."
"What happened?" Charlotte asks, looking up from her comfy(?) place on the floor, all curled up with Milla.
"Your Dad said that finding you a caterpillar might help," I reply, "so I guess that's the next thing I'm gonna do."

Charlotte's jaw drops, exposing two rows of razor-sharp teeth.

"Yyyyou seriousss?" she asks, losing control of her new vocal cords for a moment. "He said that!?"
"Yeah," I nod."

Then this

>>41964313
ERASED as in your effects on the world, and on history, are forgotten. Whatever goals you hoped to achieve in your life are undone. It is as though you have never existed.
Optionally, all the shitty things you have done may persist, and you will be remembered for them. Especially the cringe-inducing stuff.

Charlotte's back begins heaving and she lets out a really strange sound... it's like she's -trying- to cry but her body just doesn't get how that works anymore. She continues like this for a little while, hugging on to Milla for comfort before rising up and taking a few steps towards me.

And then just as it seems like she's going to hug me, she stops herself.

"was scared that I'd be like this forever..." Charlotte whispers while backing away from me.
"Not if I can do anything about it," I say, taking the initiative before she's able to get away.

Charlotte lets out a surprised half-meow as my arms wrap... well, as my arms -try- to wrap around her. She's too wide around now for me to reach, but I'm still able to hold on nice and tight.

She's really warm now.

Warm and fluffy.

"Ccccecile!" Charlotte squawks. "Ssstop, I'm horrible and ugly-"
"You're still you," I reply, hugging her even tighter.
"........."

After a while, she finally gets the message and hugs me back. And then -I'm- the one who starts crying. All the awfulness of the past few days that I'd been pushing away just wells up and pours out of my eyes and I can't do a damned thing to control it.

To think that I was afraid about this stuff not getting to me anymore.


>[2/?]

>>41964724
Did you really think CC would be that shallow, to not love you even when you're like this?

"Sorry," I mumble while wiping off my eyes, "You're the one with an actual reason to cry but here I am being stupid."
"...that's okay," she replies, shaking her head.

Aww man...

"I, uh..." I point at her chest. It's all wet and gross and covered in snot from my crying fit, not to mention the now-dried-up blood that's on what's left of her dress -and- all over her arms. "Maybe you ought to get cleaned up," I say. "...both of us should, come to think of it."

I take her hand and start towards the bathroom that Theresa isn't using, but Charlotte doesn't budge.

"You can clean up," she says, "but I'm..." she winces. "...I don't want to... she mumbles.
"If something else is wrong, you can tell me," I say.
"I'm hideous and I don't want you seeing me like this without clothes," she replies, looking down at the floor. "And these are just about to tear off my body as it is, and I don't have anything else that I could wear once I took them off."

Oh.


>[3/?]

>>41965016
Nonsense. There are plenty of blankets that could be worn over her massive fuzzy form.

"I need to get this blood off of me," Charlotte says, "but I'll do that after you leave. In the dark, so -I- don't have to look at... THIS."
".........."

It doesn't look like I can convince her otherwise.

"Okay," I say with a resigned sigh. "But if you're worried about covering yourself, you can still use the spare bedsheets if you need to."
"I guess I could," she replies.

"Well I'm gonna go wash the dirt out of my hair," I say as I start towards the bathroom, "and then I'll head out to the park by my house and find you a caterpillar. Are you gonna be alright on your own?"
"I have Milla here with me," Charlotte replies. "...I'll be okay."
"IF you're sure," I reply.

I really hope there isn't too much of this stuff stuck in my hair. Even though I can see in the dark just fine, I'd rather not be by myself at night for any longer than I need to.

"Cecile," Charlotte calls out.
"Hm?" I turn back to face her.
"Yyyyuour dress," Charlotte says. "The... the entire back is torn."
"Wha?"

Just what I was hoping was -not- the case.

"God damn it..." I mutter under my breath while bending the light around myself so as to get a better view of my back... and yeah. The entire back's torn to hell, all the way down to-

"!!!"

Not wanting to believe what I'm seeing, I pat myself down. Starting from my upper back... to my waist... and below.

"Oh man..." I groan.

I've been walking around with my underwear showing this entire time.

I've been walking around with my underwear showing this entire time.

B- but at least I was invisible just about the whole time, so it's not like anyone actually noticed up until now, right? Yeah, I don't need to be ashamed!

...but I still know what happened, and that's just as bad. With my pride wounded, I grab onto the fabric just above my waistline with one hand so that I'm no longer exposed and stomp over to the bedroom where I left the clothes that I was wearing yesterday. They've got some dirt on them too from yesterday's fight, but it's still better than playing exhibitionist.

Ugh.

After running to the bathroom, I let the dress slip to the floor and hop into the shower. While I wash my hair, the hot water and shampoo runoff sting the hell out of my back... apparently my skin suffered damage along with my dress when I did that slide to catch Loki.

Still worth it, of course.

After I've washed all the dirt and grime and sweat off of my body, I render that effort useless by putting on yesterday's dirty clothes. From there, I do the bare minimum to fix my hair and then I step back out of the bathroom.

Considering that I was just in a horrific LITERAL bloodbath and my sister was almost kidnapped just last night by the person who ended up as said bloodbath, I should probably call her to see how she's doing.

Yeah, I'll do just that.

After making sure that Charlotte's still doing alright (she's curled up in that same place on the floor with Milla), I lean on the wall, bring out my phone, and give my sister a call.

Ringing...

...more ringing...

"Cecile, are you okay!?" Allison shouts on the other end of the line. "You said you were gonna be coming home tonight but you're still not here and on the news they found..."

She sounds completely horrified.


>what do I say to her?

>>41966737
Yeah i'm fine, the fight got worse than expected, the person after us hit Charlotte's bird, and Charlotte went berserk. She's kinda really messed up now, so I'm going to stick with her tonight. I'm fine though, worst I got was some scraps from doing a slide. WAs just checking in on you.

>>41966788

>>41966737

"I'm fine," I say. "Safe and sound."
"...you're not just saying that, are you?" Allison asks, her voice wavering. "'Cuz if you're calling from the hospital again..."
"No," I sigh, "I'm at Charlotte's place right now."

"Something went down here though," I say, "so I'm gonna be staying here for another night. Are you okay with that?" I ask.
".........do y-" Allison stops herself. "Yeah, that's okay."
"You sure?" I ask as a wave of guilt hits me. "Because if you really need-"
"No, it's fine," she replies. "Y... you're not up to any more dangerous stuff, are you? Because over in the crappy part of town the cops found human remains along with two people who were missing, and..."

Just my luck.

"No," I prepare a half-truth, "I just need to head out for an errand and then I'm coming right back here," I say. "No fighting or dealing with crazy evil people."
"As long as you're safe," she mumbles.

>>41967355

"What about you?" I ask. "Are you going to be alright?"
"Yeah, I guess," she mumbles. "I'll try to see if Kevin can come back over so I'm not here by myself."

I am the worst sister.

yes you are the worst

"Tell Charlotte I said hi, okay?" Allison asks.
"Y- yeah," I nod. "I will."

And with that HUGE punch of pure guilt, the call ends and I let my arm drop to my side.

"Okay," Charlotte replies.
"And, umm... Allison said hi."

Legs. Gotta move these legs and burn away this awful feeling in the pit of my stomach. I can call Mina while I'm looking for a caterpillar.

After saying goodbye to Charlotte, I leave the suite and ride the elevator to the bottom floor, ignoring everything and everyone in the lobby as I make my way outside. There are a few taxis waiting outside as usual, but since I'm by myself it's not like I really have the cash to spare on such frivolities.

Besides, I need to walk this bad feeling off.

Remember, a moth caterpillar.
Don't fuck this up CC.

>>41967530
>[4/4]


Though I do make it a point to look at all the greenery that I pass by just in case there're any caterpillars around, I have no such luck. Go figure. Probably halfway to the park, I just kind of give up and bring out my phone.

Dialing Mina...

...and ringing...

...and voicemail. Crap.

Since Mina's not picking up her phone, I guess the next best bet is to call Sun-Mi. As far as I know, she's the last one who was with her after Gabrielle showed up where we were.

"Hello?" Sun-Mi answers on the first ring.
"Hey Sun-Mi," I say, "Are you still with Mina?" I ask.
"Huh? No, I'm back at my place," she replies. "Was that thing on the news you guys?"
"......probably," I mumble, not wanting to go into anything resembling detail. "But what about Mina? What happened after Gabrielle left you two?"

I can't help but be worried.

"Yeah," she sighs, "She came to not too long after you guys left, but she had no idea how she ended up where we found her so that really freaked her out..." she lets out a tired sigh. "I was afraid that I'd have to fight her myself but she calmed down pretty quickly."
"That's good to hear," I reply.
"So after that, I walked her home and her brother just about freaked out when he saw her coming to the door," she says, kind of laughing. "The way he was worried about her was really sweet."

Having seen Marcus in "overprotective brother" mode myself, I don't know if that's the word that I'd use to describe it.

"He started interrogating Mina about where she'd been for the past day... and she kind of fainted in the middle of it," Sun-Mi says.
"Wha-"
"It was fine," she blurts out, "I caught her so she didn't hit the ground or anything like that."

That's a relief.

"But I couldn't exactly hide it by then so I told him that I found him in that crappy neighborhood and he figured out that she was the same as those people who were going missing all over the place..."
"Aw crap," I mumble.
"So we carried Mina to his car from there and we sped to the hospital and Mina got treated for anemia and possible chloroform exposure," she sighs. "I wanted to stick around for when she finally woke back up but as far as her brother was concerned, I was just a minor acquaintance..." she says in a dejected tone. "And I wasn't about to out Mina like that so I gave up and went back home instead."

So Mina's at the hospital... I bet Marcus and her parents are worried sick.

"Thanks for telling me what happened," I say to Mina as I pass through the park gate.
"I probably should've called you instead of making you worry like that so..." she laughs nervously. "Sorry, today has me all messed up."
"You're not the only one," I sigh. "But really, thanks," I say. "Mina's lucky to have someone like you."
"Th- that's-" she stammers. "I- I'm just playing this by ear I mean I never had a girlfriend before and-"

Wow. This is WAY different from the cool persona that she showed when we first met.

"A- anyways I have to go now so bye!" she stammers before hanging up.

>>41968230

Okay, that's enough of that. Time to help Charlotte. It's pretty dark out but it's not like that means anything at all for me... and so, I find myself on my hands and knees, crawling around the flower bed and shrubbery to find a stupid caterpillar.

To try and make this easier, I abuse my light powers by making a makeshift magnifying glass... but sadly, most of what I find is ants and grasshoppers and flies and oh god there's a skunk get the hell away from me.

".........okay, round two..." I say to myself as I start searching a group of shrubs way the hell away from that rancid thing. Today's been horrible enough without me getting skunked on top of everything else.

Motion.

C'mon, give me some motion...

"There!" I say, pointing to a suspicious branch of a small tree. Drawing closer, I see a ball of fuzz that's squirming along on its way to chomp on a leaf. I remember when my father would pick these things up and prank my Mom with them... I think he called them "wooly bears."

But they look more disgusting than anything.

>>41968230

>>41968366

According to this site I pulled up on my phone, they're moth caterpillars and that's exactly what I need so it's coming with me. I guess this one's an early bloomer since I don't really see these things out in the Spring... I'll just chalk that up to a surprise bout of good luck.

Reaching out to the base of the branch it's crawling on, I cut it free with a quick flash of a light sword and now it's secure. Oh God why the hell didn't I bring something to put this gross thing inside. Just looking at it makes my skin crawl, and if it actually TOUCHED me I'd just die... geh.

But I brave through my disgust, as this is to help the girl I love. Even though I'm not entirely sure how. I guess I'll have to call her father again when I get back to the hotel.

you lie to yourself

this is for your own desires

you merely wish to feel its embrace again

Yes I'd like very much to be able to have sex with Charlotte again but it's FAR from anything even resembling a priority in why I'm helping her so I'd appreciate it if you'd kindly shut the hell up.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

After breaking off another stick just in case this thing tries to get on me, I hurry back to the hotel as fast as my out-of-shape legs will carry me. I gather more than a few stares along the way since I'm holding these caterpillar sticks but who the hell cares.

I rush into the hotel lobby...

...into the elevator...

...and make it to the top floor without any problem.

Since I'd rather not stay up to an ungodly hour tonight, I'll be ending the thread here. It would have been nice to finish off the chapter with this one, but I guess that's going to have to wait until next time.
