[i]Alyssa nodded, reaching into her pocket. She brought out the coin that had saved Charlie's life, however didn't let Charlie touch it, for fear the black side would injure him.[/i]

Edited by Cthulhu Agent: 10/5/2016 3:22:15 AM[i]Charlie's eyes glow blue and his voice seems off, more robotic like than usual.[/i] "Can I touch it? Just. One. Touch." [i]As Charlie's one arm begins to reach for it the voice from the fight with Chuck comes back. [u]Alyssa, don't let me touch it. I touch it and my memories are lost forever.[/u][/i]
-
"I-sorry-no," [i]Alyssa murmured, shoving the coin back into her pocket. She smiled at Charlie, an apologetic look in her eyes.[/i] "Sorry...." [i]She mumbled aloud, while inwardly was going frantic at the reappearance of Charlie's voice. [u]Charlie? Charlie? Where are you?[/u][/i]
-
[i]As she put the coin away the voice began to get far quieter. [u]No matter what don't let me...[/u] The voice faded entirely. Charlie's eyes began to go back to normal, but a blue glow was still visible. His voice had that trance like feeling to it.[/i] "Come on, Ali. Babe, just let me touch it for a sec."
-
[i]Alyssa blushed crimson red at Charlie calling her "babe", but shook her head no. She smiled slightly, lifting her chin to kiss Charlie lightly on his forehead.[/i] "Sorry, can't let that happen," [i]She murmured, staring ahead with sad eyes, yet a happy smile.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie brought his face right up to Alyssa's.[/i] "Why not? It's my coin, honey." [i]He kissed her slowly on the cheek.[/i] "Don't you love me?"
-
"I love you, but...." [i]Alyssa wasn't sure if she should tell Charlie.[/i] "I'm scared for what would happen if you touched it...." [i]She shivered, and it wasn't because of the temperature.[/i]
-
[i]He slowly brush his hand down her cheek.[/i] "What could happen if I touched the coin? My hand smells like metal? Just hand it over..." [i]Charlie whispers in her ear in a suggestive tone.[/i] "...and I'll pay you back anyway you like, sugar."
-
"N-no, I-I just–" [i]Alyssa blushed furiously, pushing herself away from Charlie and backing away a little.[/i] "The coin... could wipe your memory for good...." [i]Alyssa somehow blushed more, averting her gaze.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie walked towards Alyssa and grabbed her by the shoulders. He looked into her eyes, searching for something. His eyes turned back to his normal brown and he had a confused look on his face.[/i] "How did we get into this position? I was just about to ask you a question and then poof we're like this. Did I miss something?"
-
"I-wh-what?" [i]Alyssa blinked, her mouth slightly open.[/i] "Charlie? Are you... alright?" [i]Her eyes were full of confusion, expression matching.[/i]
-
"Why wouldn't I be? I've got you don't I?" [i]Charlie chuckled.[/i]
-
"Heh.. yeah...." [i]Alyssa said, although there was something in her eyes, something like uncertainty.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie sighed and backed away.[/i] "I understand what you're feeling. I'm okay with breaking up if you really don't feel comfortable with someone like me."
-
"I-it's not-I just...." [i]Alyssa didn't seem to know what to say; she was extremely new to relationships altogether, and has most definitely never been through a break-up.[/i] "I-it just feels a little rushed... ya know?"
-
[i]Charlie nods.[/i] "It does, doesn't it? Just keep that coin of mine safe, will ya? I shouldn't be around it let alone touch it unless it's an emergency."
-
"I... alright...." [i]Alyssa's expression was sad, yet somewhere she felt that it was the right decision.[/i]
-
[i]Charlie smiles.[/i] "Hey, we're still friends, Miss Alyssa. Turn that frown upside down and lets have some fun later, eh?"
-
"Okay...." [i]Alyssa murmured, tears forming in her eyes as she looked away.[/i] "I-I'll see you around, Charlie...." [i]She said, holding back sobs. She turned, and ran off, her jolly mood long forgotten.[/i] ((Fin))
