Charlie watched everyone else in the basement. She stood, shifting her weight from foot to foot. When she heard, "You summoned me... because you needed a date? Isn't that like getting a shotgun when you expected a puppy?" she almost broke down, laughing. But if this man was who he seemed to be, even if he was the best comedian on Earth, it would be no laughing matter.<br/><br/>She watched in uncharacteristic silence as the man went on in his rant and then her eyes grew wide as he seemed to be having... some sort of panic attack? Was this a ploy? Some sort of way to take the girls off their guard so that he could get them in the circle and take their souls? After all, if the circle was working correctly, no being who meant to harm them could come outside of it and what more harm could you cause someone than to kill them?<br/><br/>No sooner had these thoughts passed through her mind, Lee was running into the circle. Charlie stood, dumbstruck, for one long minute and then she yelled at the top of her lungs. "WHAT ARE YOU,<em>CRAZY?!</em>" She shook her head and ran to just outside the circle. "Lee!" She called out, reaching a hand toward her friend, tears forming in her eyes at the thought of losing someone so close to her, "Get back here!" Her voice cracked as she went on, "He's gonna kill you!"
