Charlotte and Nathan took Charles' death the hardest. Skwisgaar often held a depressed and moody Charlotte in his arms. At night Charlotte would get out of bed and wander. He knew she was going to cry over the bands' old manager. The thoughts brought tears to his eyes. He knew Charlotte cared about Charles deeply but not in a lover sort of way. More of a family relationship.
He knew one night that Nathan and Charlotte both had wandered into Charles' old office. No one cleaned it out. It looked just the same before Charles had. Skwisgaar refused to think it. Toki and Murderface got worse too. Pickles just numbed himself with even more drugs and drinking. Charlotte was always there for all of them when they needed it. All she wanted in return was for Skwisgaar to hold her.

Charlotte's POV.
I sat with Toki as he drank. It was like noon. He shouldn't have been drinking this early. But I didn't say anything. We each had our own ways of coping with the pain.
"I shoulds invites Dr. Rockso heres." Toki slid down in his chair a little. I couldn't help but to smile. Dr. Rockso would never in a million years get back in Mordhaus if I had anything to say.
"We'll see Toki. How about you go lay down in your room?" Toki mumbled something in Swedish. I brushed a stray piece of hair back in place.
"Okays." I helped Toki up, and pried the plastic cup out of his hand. Toki leaned on me as we walked to his bedroom. I laid him down on his bed and handed Deddybear to him. I sat at the end of Toki's bed.

I made sure Skwisgaar was asleep. I always did before I came in here. Before I came to Charles' office to mourn. The pain his death left never got any easier. My ears perked up at the door opening. It was just Nathan. He quickly apologized for bothering me.
"No come back, please." I begged him. He sat down on the couch next to me. I shivered. After a few long moments of silence I admitted that I missed Charles. Nathan wrapped me in his big arms.
"I miss him Nathan. I wish this was all a bad dream. I wish he would come home and fix everything." I started crying. I couldn't help it. We were all left defenseless after Charles' death. I was supposed to be the strong one, the one who was supposed to be Dethklok's rock during this hard time. Nathan hugged me tighter. I could hear his hitched breathing. I clutched tightly to the band leader.
"I do too." Is all he said to me. I wiped away my tears. I looked up at Nathan's face and could see the obvious pain. The tears were shining in his green eyes. The moonlight illuminated the tears. I didn't want to let go of him. When he was so prone to falling apart.

I stood with Dethklok as they debated internally whether to sign the contract. I took the contract in my hands and started reading it over. God. Charles. I had no clue about this stuff. I heard the door open and turned. It was Charles. I threw the contract down and ran to him. He hugged me tightly.
"You boys have a show to play. I'll deal with stuff here. Charlotte, please go wait outside the door." Skwisgaar took my hand. I led them out of the meeting room. Skwisgaar kissed me softly. I watched as Dethklok walked down the corridor to continue with their most expensive concert ever.
I decided, when the time came. I'd give up everything to protect them. I'd fight for them. Even if it resulted in my death.
A/n/: At the first the ending was really, really different. Before I remembered that Charles came back when Dethklok's concert was shut down due to Damien. Ahhhh the flashback was so awesome, they looked so different. No Toki though! :/ They need Toki.
