charlot was on the floor with three other boys gathering around him,
One holding him by the hair, The boy with a bat started to laugh sinisterly "Real messed up befriending someone who's rich just so you can get some money." One spoke.
"And a hot one too, now what's up with that little kid I thought you were a innocent boy from the streets" another one spoke in a baby tone
"Leave me alone! I'll give you anything you want, okay!" Charlot shouted with tears falling down from his cheeks..
"No one's going to hear you! So shut up already!" They yelled and covered his mouth with a cloth, charlot tried to shout but all he could do is kick his legs and squirmed around,
A boy groaned out frustration "would you stop already!? Nobody is going to help you!"
"Hold on idiot I think this time he is trying to say something actually important."
"Am I crazy or do I hear footsteps?.."
"Willow!!.."
"..willow?"
They heard shallow but slow footsteps coming, they felt an disturbing area that charlot recognized all too well..
A terrifying face to the others..
Bring fear into their eyes as they saw a tall shadowy figure.
The only thing visible was their deep dark purple eyes glaring at them like a beast that glares at their prey.
"Y..you're not Belladonna.."
"Oh no..I am nothing like Belladonna." they said in a deep sinisterly tone leaving a shiver down charlot spine when he heard
Willow voice.
Willow grabbed the boy's neck letting charlot go
Charlot quickly went behind willow clinging to them
"Let Alex go, you freak!."
"Oh?..Is that his name?."
"You're killing him idiot!!."
"Oh no no. I am just simply holding him by the collar. I'm still letting them breathe.."
Alex struggled to get out of willow grasps
"Try hitting me with that bat. And see what'll happen next."
After some time Willow then threw Alex to the floor. The rest catching him..
"Lay another finger on charlot and I'll finish off what I didn't years ago."
Willow glared at the boy with the bat..
He quickly nodded and all three of them scattered away.
Charlot sat on his knees crying A bit
"N..none of that was true.."
They looked at him
"I'm not your friend because of your money.." he wiped his tears with his sleeves
They helped him get up
"You got bruises and you're bleeding.."
"So?.."
"So, we have to take you back to your house so we can patch you up"
They patted his head
"Aren't you mad at me?.."
"For what?"
He stayed silent for a bit "I just thought..you'd be mad at me because of what you've heard.."
They thought for a bit and looked away. "Even if you did become my friend because of my money..then half of my stuff from the house would've been gone..and you would be slowly asking for more money every time..but you never did that have you?"
He slowly nodded and sniffed
They helped him wipe his tears
"Now stop crying we still need to take you home to clean you up"
They took his hand and went to his place
Charlot looked at them
"Why…why did you decide to help me?.."
They stopped mid way to their path
Willow was quiet
"Willow?.."
"Forget about it.." They continue walking
"Charlot?.." They looked over their shoulder to see if he's following
They only saw charlot smiling
"You cared."
"You always have, didn't you.."
"You're an idiot for leaving so long.."
He smirked and chuckled "Oh really?"
He teased "if you were so worried about me how come you didn't come looking for your prince charming~"
Charlot has been hit with a book on the head.
"Arg!- really!?-"
He stopped as he looked at what seemed to be sorrow in their eyes..
"I don't need to explain myself why I was gone to you.."
"were here by the way"
Charlot looked up to his house and smiled
"Guess I'll see you next time?"
"Not like I have a choice.."
He snickered
Willow looked confused. "What's so funny?"
"Heh it's nothing"
"Take care of yourself willow"
He walked away waving from behind
Willow took a deep breath and started walking back
Going deep to the woods
There was fog in the air
Willow stopped mid in their tracks to listen..
A rock was shot close to willow's face
Willow gasped and backed away
Laughter was heard
As three 'kids' came out of a bush
The same group as before..
But a few are missing..
Willow quickly turned around but it was to late one flew on top of them hitting willow's back making them dropped to the ground
Two more came out of the trees and quickly pinned willow down.
"Let me go!!.."
A girl took out a knife and held it up their face
"Scream again and we'll do much worse, you demon." She hissed out and spit at willows face
She gripped their hair back
A boy chuckled "You really shouldn't have done that back in the alley way.."
"Now you pay." He snapped his fingers signaling the one with the bat
Before Willow could do anything they were knocked out..
Who knows how long it passed…
All they knew…
Was the excruciating pain that came from their own body…
But Willow was able to finally make it home..
They coughed out a few blood
Their hands and legs trembled..
"Willow!!" Ms.Anneliese screamed out and catches willow in their arms before they collapse
Time passed Ms.Anneliese took care of willow as they layed in bed
Belladonna came into the room
"You can leave now Ms.Anneliese.."
Ms.Anneliese looked at willow, willow just sighed and slowly nodded letting out a quiet 'thank you' before she left
Belladonna sat on the chair next to them holding a cup of tea and pills..
"You've gotten in trouble.."
"Look at you, haven't I told you enough not to go out there!.."
"Why were you even out there in the first place!?"
They kept their head down
Belladonna just sighed and took a deep breath
"Here.."
"What's this?"
"Pain killers.."
"Gave you some tea as well.."
Willow slowly took the pills and the tea
Belladonna smiled, "would you like a book for your tea?"
"I uh.."
Willow groaned a bit and rubbed their head
"What's wrong?"
"M..my head..I feel dizzy again.."
"Oh dear willow your body is just tired lay down and rest already"
Belladonna layed willow down on the bed taking the tea away
Willow was passed out on the bed..
Belladonna kissed willows forehead
"Rest well.."
