Dark tales from the Loudverse
Tale : Meals at "Charlotte's" house
Chapter 1: Meeting Charlotte
Rita's felt nauseous and her head was killing her, her vision was all foggy and could only distinguish that it was night time.
She felt someone holding her in a protective embrace, she felt so weak, she could see shadows around her and hear distant voices semi distorted.
She suddenly felt worse, she felt goosebumps and a cold sweat, she knew that something was wrong but couldn't tell what, her vision was coming back to focus and she could distinguish her husband Lynn and some of her children around her.
They look scared but there was also some relieve on their faces, still there was a nibble on preoccupation in the pit of her stomach that she couldn't ignore, something bad happened but she didn't remember what
"Lola, where are you" that was the voice of Lana, the pain and fear on her voice made Rita remember what was causing her that desperation.
"Lola, Lola, Lola" She more could hear multiple voices, not only her family but others as well. "Bwaph… bw." Her mouth was dry and couldn't properly articulate, she tried to stand up but her body barely obeyed her, she was really numb
Lynn tighten his embrace on his wife, she could feel some tears falling on her. "Easy there dear, just remain calmed and we'll take care, we'll find out little princess soon" she could feel him trembling and hear him sobbing an be with that she proceeded to cry.
It was Wednesday, a nice sunny Fall day, a slightly cold breeze could be felt but the sun still made his presence known.
It was a perfect day for Lola to practice a bit her routines for Little Miss charm that was in a week, Lana stayed at home due to sickness and her other siblings had dates and some tests.
Just mom and her in the park having fun…
Things got strange then
She wake up on a small bed and watched her surroundings it was a small white room a small table with 4 chairs and 3 ragdolls, there is a glass wall with some weird looking contraption with a table and a chair on it and what obviously looks like a door, beyond that is just another wall and a more traditional door.
She gets on her feet, she took a quick look at herself and she still has her pink dress, she just feels a bit groggy.
"Where am I?" She takes another look and sees another for on the wall to her left. "Mom?" She suddenly remembered where she was, the park, she runs and opens the door only to find a bathroom, a nice one too both, a shower, a vanity set and a lot of amenities like towels and basic necessities.
A metallic sound could be heard and some footsteps, she got out of the bathroom only for her to see a tall woman in expensive clothes, some headphones and a childish mask off a pig with only her mouth free
"Who are you, where the heck am I?" Lola advanced stomping her feet and screaming very loudly and once she reached the glass she started pounding and kicking the glass
The woman takes a control from a pocket and a horrible high pitching beeping is blasted from a speaker making Lola stop to cover her ears.
The woman places a hand on her headphones.
"Hello darling, you can call me Charlotte and you are my guest on this, my humble abode". Her voice comes out with certain fake sweetness to it.
"Who the hell are you? where is my mom? Get me out of here you… pillock" she once again starts pounding on the glass
"I told you to call me Charlotte, your mom? I left her at the park behind some bushes. She'll be fine in a couple of hours." She sits down in the other side on a table mirroring the one on her side and motions Lola to do the same.
Lola went but grabbed the chair and proceeded to strike the glass a couple of times but there was no damage to it
Charlotte giggled "That is aluminum oxynitride darling, you won't be able to break it" she takes a small notebook and a box of crayons and slices thru a gap.
"Here, draw something, distract yourself because you are going to be here for a long time."
Lola hits the glass a couple more times but she gives up, out her back against the glass and slides down, tears on the verge of scaping her eyes. "Why do you kidnapped me"
"I want someone to share a good food with, just that kid."
"Wow, you are such a loser that you couldn't even get a friend or a boyfriend?" Lola tells with a mocking voice and smirks. "How pathetic can you be girl, also what with that mask? How ugly are you to hide behind a mask?"
"Au contraire petite fille, I just like to wear masks, it's all in good fun"
Charlotte smile gets wider, clearly amused. "Sassy and with some spice, I like your attitude"
"You know what a long pig is darling?"
She looks at the confused face of Lola
"It's a delicacy that not everyone has tasted and you will have the privilege, consider yourself lucky, now tell me do you like Chinese or Mexican cuisine?"
"I won't eat nothing that you give me"
"Petite fille, will see if 3 days without food changes your mind" She stands up and leaves but returns with a bottle me of water sliding it in the gap. "Here, I'm not a monster"
Author notes: I do not own the Loud house but I do own ideas for stories concerning characters from this franchise
Long pig is term used by the Maori for the consumption of human flesh. Yes this particular story is going there.
My other story is still being written, just taking some time with some elements that don't want to come out as I planned them.
