True, he felt it when it happened, but Charlie never thought he had gotten himself into this. After leaving Victor at some point in time in the city, the blonde found himself thinking about the things they had talked about. It made him think of Haru. In fact, the whole time he was hanging out with Victor, he thought of Haru. She would love it here. She would love the people, and she would love seeing him actually have fun with others, instead of worrying over her.

As their adventure came to a close, the Brit made a huge mistake in actually thinking, 'I wish Haru was here. It was then that he felt it. Then that he knew that the small push he felt earlier was not a mere push at all. The sand on the ground should have given something away, but no. Charlie only realized now, as he was walking away from Victor and further into the heart of the city, what his biggest mistake was.

And now he'd have to pay.

"Tell me your wish..."

Charlie would hear that voice call to him on the right.

"I shall grant any wish you desire..."

The sand that collected on the ground pooled together and formed his right into some kind of freakish humanoid who seemed to have his body parts misplaced, his legs hanging from the top somehow and his upper torso skimming along the ground. He also looked like some kind of armored rabbit.

"There is only one thing I require from you..."

God only knows what kind of reaction Charlie would have to seeing such a thing out in this secluded place.

Eyes wide, Charlie backed away from the sand-being, unsure of what to do or even how to react to this... creature. Was that the right word for it? He wasn't sure.

A gentle breeze rustled through his hair, sending a chill up his spine as he thought, 'There are consequences to my actions. That I know. Bringing the dead back to life has never been a smart thing to do. If this being before me is a genie of some kind, I have to be extremely careful how I word my wish if I want to see... If I want to have... If...' He no longer had to say her name out loud to feel the tears sting at his eyes, 'Haru...'

Finally finding the strength to speak, Charlie asked a few simple questions, "What's my price? Does it depend on the wish?" The blonde clenched his fists together, his gaze dropping to the ground in a glare, "And why are you granting my wish, when there are plenty of other ones that are not as deranged?"

"What's my price? Does it depend on the wish? And why are you granting my wish, when there are plenty of other ones that are not as deranged?"

"Does it matter why I'm granting YOUR wish?" the rabbit asked. "I picked you because I heard the desire on your heart."

Despite the breeze - or even perhaps because of it - the sandy creature didn't disintegrate from it, but rather glided across the ground to get closer to Charlie like some kind of hovering creature. It was eerie to watch, since his legs were moving in the air over his head as if to aid his locomotion, and it actually moved his entire body despite it being so disjointed.
"The price is only one thing, and it's always the same, no matter what wish you ask for. But hey... if it's really something that you want, wouldn't you want it anyway, regardless of the price? Besides... I don't even know what your wish is. Until I know that wish, well... I won't be able to fulfill our contract."

There was some hint of malevolence in his voice, the kind of evil vibe you'd get from your usual cliche all-powerful evil genie like Jafar from Aladdin. Of course, this was no ordinary genie... and to be fair, there wasn't any real tangible thing in this world to call it to begin with.

Several chills ran down Charlie's spine as the being came closer. He even tripped a little as he continued to back away from it, fear plain on his face. Despite being frightened, his thoughts stayed firm on his sister.

"I..." The Brit breathed, trying to even his voice as much as possible. "M-My sister... she's dead." Charlie swallowed, "But I want her to be alive again. I wish she was... alive and healthy and happy with me here. Like her illness never touched her." He rose his hands to his chest as he felt his heart contract painfully. Tears leapt to his eyes, "I don't want her to be like a zombie back from the dead. I want her to be a living, breathing, human. I wish Haru was here, alive, and without a shred of illness in her."

Charlie looked away, unable to keep eye contact, but stopping his feet from moving anymore, "Th-that's what I wish. For her to be alive and unaffected by my father's illness."

"Cheh... such a complicated and exact wish," the rabbit said. "Whatever. I don't care as long as your wish is granted... and my payment is collected..."

As soon as he said, that, his legs were suddenly sucked upwards, while his upper torso started to rise. Gone was the sandy monochrome hue of his previous form, it was now turning into an actual white color as he began to take a much more tangible form...

"Heh. Stay here. Your wish is strong enough that I can imagine what she looks like... so I'll be back with her! Heeheehee!"
With that, the Rabbit Anino leapt away and into the city, leaving a stupefied Charlie behind.



Minutes later...

"No!!!" a petite brunette whimpered in a small dark alley as two men, who were obviously stronger than she was, accosted her against a chain link fence.
"Come on, you said you wanted to have fun, right?" one of the men, about a few inches taller than the girl and definitely better built, sneered as he pinned her wrists over her head with his one hand.
"Heh, keep her there, let's see what she's got hidden under here..." his partner sneered. He was rather lanky and had a blue baseball cap over his head, but the visor did nothing to disguise the malice in his eyes as he approached the girl. In fact, if anything, it amplified the effect.
"Please, don't do this... I... I didn't want this..." she whimpered anew.
"Bitch, please! Teasing us like that with that short dress of yours, along with that little 'come hither' innocent stare you've been giving me and my friend here... who's to say you didn't want it? Wish it?" the man who was pinning her down growled as he grabbed her neck with his free hand.
"But..."
"Be careful what you wish for~" the other man chuckled as his left hand rested on the flat of her stomach before slowly inching it downwards. "Let's see what's in door number ONE!" he growled as he suddenly reached down.

The girl wanted to scream, but he clamped his right hand over her mouth, turning the scream into a pathetic muffle. She was being violated, right here, in a dark alley, by two strangers who wanted more than just her company...
And her world turned black.

...

Perfect.

"What the fu-"
Suddenly, both men were thrown clear out of the alley as if thrown by some kind of superhuman strength. However, here in Nova Oasis, that was kind of expected when the place was populated by Espers.
From the darkness of the alley, a petite brunette smoothed out her pink dress and ruffled her hair. She looked at a nearby window at her reflection, as if to see what she would look like, and frowned.

"... This'll have to do," she muttered. After all, possession did change the person somewhat, and this was the closest he could get himself to look like the image Charlie had in his head.
She walked away and towards the place where Charlie was waiting...

"Wha--" Charlie would have run after Anino, but the rabbit told him to stay there. What was it with him and rabbits lately? Maybe it was all Haru's influence on his brain. She always did remind him of a scared little rabbit. He sighed and resigned to sitting on the ground as he waited for Anino to get back.

Leaning back on his hands, he stared up at the sky and sniffled, recovering from his almost tearful breakdown. Charlie rubbed at his eyes with the back of his hand before covering his forehead. "I feel like this... is probably going to get me killed."

Charlie sighed again and closed his eyes, trying to calm his nerves at least a little bit. Maybe he wouldn't have to pay with his life? Maybe the rabbit would only make him pay with something insignificant to him?

And maybe he was a flying pink unicorn that could crap out rainbows after eating its weight in Swedish fish.

Right...

The blonde opened his eyes again to see a young woman walking towards him with dark brown hair and... green eyes. His breath caught in his throat and he scrambled to his feet, eyes wide but unable to look away. Charlie blinked once, twice, three times and then felt the tears roll down his cheeks. He quickly rubbed them away, but they left his face red. Charlie grinned at her, finally feeling the happiness at seeing her return.

"H-Haru?" His voice cracked as he called out to her, "Is that really you? Are you really here?" Did his wish really come true?

How does one greet another person when you've been brought back from the dead? Run to them and hug them? Cry and run away?

"Haru" decided to do none of those.

"... Charlie!" she cried as she ran to her "brother" before stopping just short of hugging him, almost as if trying to figure him out herself.
"H-Haru?" Charlie's voice cracked as he called out to her, "Is that really you? Are you really here?"
"I... I think so," she said. "I don't remember what happened... I just... woke up and found myself here!"

... I COULD take my payment now, but... this seems fun. I'll toy with this boy for a bit... it sadistically thought to himself.
"Charlie, I'm not dreaming, am I? I'm... I'm really here, and you're with me?..." she said, looking at her hands as if still in utter disbelief that she was alive.

Charlie didn't wait to see if it was okay to touch her. He knew that even if she was against hugging at first, she would eventually get used to it and stop grumbling. That was how it was when they first became friends. So he jumped up and wrapped his arms tightly around his sister, holding her because he missed her. Holding her to really feel like she was really there.

"Oh god." The boy sobbed, letting the tears come now in waves, "You're back. I'm so glad you're back. I don't care if God punishes me forever for bringing you back." He paused to pull away and held her by the shoulders at arms length to look at her. "I don't care what the consequences are."

His grin was watery, but he was still so happy she was there. "There are so many things I wanted to tell you... so many things I wanted to ask. To know." Charlie hugged her again, "I'm so glad you've come back to your little brother." And he closed his eyes in contentment as he held her there.

"H-Hey!" "Haru" grumbled as Charlie hugged her tightly to her. "M-Mou!" she whined in some kind of pathetic attempt to squirm away from him even though he very well could do just that.
"Oh god. You're back. I'm so glad you're back. I don't care if God punishes me forever for bringing you back." Charlie actually managed to pull himself away from her and looked at her at arms' length. "I don't care what the consequences are."
"W-What do you mean?" she gasped, but the Anino inside knew EXACTLY what he meant. Oh man, this is going to be so hillarious. I can't wait to see the despair on his face when I tell him that his contract is complete. it thought. This particular Anino had a sadistic streak, for one.

"There are so many things I wanted to tell you... so many things I wanted to ask. To know," Charlie said as he hugged her again. "I'm so glad you've come back to your little brother."
"Charlie..." she said as she hugged him back. ""I'm glad to be back."

Tooooo eeeeasy... it chucked inwardly to itself, making "Haru"'s eyes glinting a bit as she hugged him.
"I don't even know where to begin Charlie... what do you want to do now?" she asked him.

OOC: At this point, you can finish this thread and make a new open thread so that other people will eventually jump in on this, especially when the inevitable happens at this point since Charlie's wish has been fulfilled.

He didn't dare let go as the tears dried up. Charlie knew what he wanted to ask, but he wasn't sure exactly how to go about it. It was just better if he didn't look her in the face when he asked. So he continued holding Haru, and staring off behind her as he said, "Why didn't you tell me that you knew you were my sister? Why didn't you warn be about Dad's disease?"

The blonde pulled away, this time letting go of his sister completely. He stepped back, a painful expression on his face, but curiosity in his eyes. "I do remember. I remember Dad's funeral. You were there with your mother, Yuki-sama. It only came to me after you were already in the ground and then everything fit together."

Charlie rested a hand on her cheek and looked at her tenderly, like the little brother he was, "I'm sorry you had to die like that. I'm sorry that you even died in the first place. I wish they could've fixed the syndrome sooner."

"Why didn't you tell me that you knew you were my sister? Why didn't you warn be about Dad's disease?"
Haru listened intently to Charlie's pained question, and had to suppress a laugh. They always ask those things... the things that were never said and done. And this poor sap just made it easier.
"I do remember. I remember Dad's funeral. You were there with your mother, Yuki-sama. It only came to me after you were already in the ground and then everything fit together," he said as he finally let her go and stepped back, as if really hurt by the entire thing.

This was fairly easy for him to answer, whether or not he was feeding on Charlie's memories, at least, unless he was lying at this point. And this kid didn't seem like the kind to lie.

"I'm sorry... I just didn't want to hurt you. I figured that... the less you knew about the truth behind me, the better," she answered.
Charlie then rested a hand on her cheek. "I'm sorry you had to die like that. I'm sorry that you even died in the first place. I wish they could've fixed the syndrome sooner."
She merely put a hand over his and nuzzled her cheek against it. "No... I'm the one who should apologize..."
Yup. Too easy.
"What about you, Charlie? How have you been doing... and where are we, anyway?" she asked. The less questions he asked about her, the better at this point though, since it could prematurely stop his fun if he realized that he wasn't talking to Haru.

After dropping his hand, Charlie looked around. He had forgotten they were even in a public place. My, my, my, how embarrassing. The blonde couldn't help the blush, "We're on an island called Nova Oasis. It's where I'm going to school this semester. After everything... happened, Mom and Viola asked me to come home for a while. But being cooped up there didn't help me much."

He chuckled, even though the story wasn't very funny, "Being in Japan after you were gone was probably worse than being in the US without you, but I still needed something to take my mind off of it all." Charlie smiled and put his hands in his pockets, "Viola thought of it. Sending me here."

Green eyes dropped to the ground in some form of embarrassment, "She was worried about me because I kept having nightmares. My nightmares kept making the furniture in the house move around and slam into walls and stuff." Another chuckle emerged as Charlie thought of Viola's face when he left, "Actually, she probably wanted me to leave so she could sleep better. Vi was always so selfish like that." He grinned at his older sister.

This might be more useful than I thought. Depending on what his true memory is... I'll be able to know what to erase... not that it really matters. I plan to replace everything...
But first things first.
Haru pet her brother on the head as if to soothe him. "It must have been hard... I'm sorry. You shouldn't say that about her though, I'm sure she meant well. I mean, it looks like you grew up, and that going here was the best thing for you," she chuckled.

With that, she cheekily wrapped her arm around his. "Why not show me around? I've only heard stories about this place, but I've never really seen it up close. Maybe we'll get to see your house!"

"Har." Charlie snorted, looking down and away from her as he grinned, "Viola doesn't mean well very often. You don't know her very well." The words sounded a little mean, but he was smiling, "It's only been a few months, anyways. I haven't grown that much. But I will say that coming here changed me in a few ways." The blonde looked around at the scenery, for once actually turning away from her, "It's not much different from any other place around the world. There are just people here with powers. That's the only real difference."
