Charlotte sat up as One and Two walked in. Two could see that it was a struggle for her to sit up with the conditions her arms were in. Two walked over to help, but
Charlotte pushed away from him. "Stay the hell away from me, both of you." "Charlotte, we can help," said One. "Oh, I think you've helped enough already thank you.
And where the hell am I? And how do you know my name?" Two could see that she was working herself into a panic and backed off to give her space. "Charlotte,
listen to us. First, we know your name because that is the name that was given to us by the Merovingian." Charlotte cringed at the name. "Secondly," Two continued,
"you are currently in the Merovingian's home, but you are in our room and bleeding on out sheets." Charlotte looked down at her arms and stared at them while tears
gathered at her eyes. "Charlotte, look at me" Two said. Charlotte looked up into a pair of cloudy silver eyes. Two had removed his glasses to look at her. "We can help
you, but you have to trust us. We took you away from the Merovingian so that he would stop hurting you. He is now lying on the floor of that room, unable to move
thanks to that drug that he ordered us to use on you. Please Charlotte, try to understand that if we don't help you now and leave here, he will find you and probably kill
you, after he has his way with you and makes you watch as he kills us. He almost did that tonight before we came and got you. So please Charlotte, trust us so that we
can help you." Charlotte stared at Two's eyes for a while longer, seeing pain and sorrow, love and hope all at the same time. She finally looked down at her arms again.
"Can you take the memory away?" she asked. It was Twos turn to look down. She knew that he wanted to take the pain away, but the memories would haunt her for
the rest of her life. He knew that. "Look at me Two" Charlotte said. When he did look up, Charlotte could see regret in his face. She knew that he didn't want to hurt
her again, and now he wanted to help heal the pain. "What do you have to do?" she asked. "Have you ever seen us phase Charlotte? She shook her head. One phased
at the end of the bed and walked through the corner of it to end up standing beside Two. "Phasing now only allows us to walk through solid objects," One explained,
"but it also allows us to heal ourselves if we are hurt. In order to help you, Two will have to phase into you and heal you from the inside out." Charlotte sat there for a
moment, gathering all the information she could. "How do you phase into me?" Two took her hands. "Lay back and close your eyes. When we tell you to, take a deep
breath. That's when I'll phase and heal you." "After Two is done" said One, "you will be very tired, but you will still be able to move and talk." Both Two and One saw
that Charlotte was fading fast. "Charlotte, are you ready?" asked Two. Charlotte shook her head up and down as she closed her eyes. "Ok Charlotte. Take a deep
breath…now." Charlotte inhaled deeply. As she did she felt Two phase with her hands and enter her body. She felt her body stiffen as Two released the pain from her. It
was almost over before it began. Two phased out and Charlotte exhaled deeply. When she opened her eyes her arms were still bleeding but the pain was gone. She saw
One standing beside the bed looking worried. "One, what is it?" Charlotte looked to where One was looking and saw Two lying beside her on the bed, motionless.
Periodically, she would see strips of blood run down the arms of his jacket, only to disappear, and then reappear again. Finally, Two inhaled deeply and shot up to a
sitting position. He looked just as tired as Charlotte felt. "Two? Are you ok?" Charlotte asked. Two just looked at Charlotte and quickly looked away. Charlotte could
see a tear rolling down Two's cheek. Two got up, opened the door and left. "We were afraid we would do that," One said. "Do what?" asked Charlotte. "We made us
feel your pain." "You mean that Two felt the pain that was inflicted on me? Why?" "Because we brought you to that pain. We feel it's our fault." "It's not your fault One,
or Two's fault. You were just doing what the Mero told you to. And if you had left me there, then there would be a lot more pain to feel." "We know that Charlotte, we
just feel…guilt at what we caused that we could have prevented." They both heard the door open again as Two entered. "We're so sorry Charlotte. We never should
have brought you here." "Two, why did you…" "PERSEPHONE!!!" The scream of the Merovingian could be heard through the whole chateau. "We have to go now!"
said One. Two helped Charlotte up and the three of them raced outside to the escalade and took off for the city.
