As Charlotte starts panicking, Theo stands up and comes to her.
“Relax!
“Relax, Charlotte!”
Theo says to her and pats her back though his eyes are stuck on her claws.
“Can you stand?” Theo offers her his hand.
Breathing heavily through her mouth, she tries to stand up, worried that she has stopped her imagination mid-shift.
Her legs wobble as she stands up taking his hand.
“Are your legs okay?”
“Yeah…I can stand!” Charlotte wiggles her toes to see if the nails have turned into claws too.
“Are you okay?” Theo asks quietly.
“Yeah.” Charlotte feels a bit shaken up but other than she is fine.
“How…How do I get them to be normal?” She asks shakily.
“You have to put your mind to it. Just relax, first.” He takes her by arm and drags her to the lake.
Charlotte walks by his side quietly, her mind occupied with the image of claws instead of her nails.
When they reach the lake, Theo makes her sit on a large block of stone.
