A letter for Bella - Bella's Castle

Subject: A letter for Bella - Bella's Castle Sat Nov 12, 2011 4:13 pm

A white envelope without stamps, has been left at Bella's door carrying her name.

"My apologies Bella, I will have to complete our lessons some other time. Some things have come up and I will be leaving the area. I don't know when I'll be back, though I can at least assure you that I will be alright.

Your friendship and your help has been greatly appreciated.

Please take care.

-Charlie"

Upon arrival, Bella casually plucks the letter up, quirking a brow curiously. She read it slowly, no emotion betrayed in her eyes. After a moment, she seemed to fall into a trance, unblinking eyes staring unfocused over the page.

She saw an image of Charlie, though he looked annoyed. Slightly annoyed, and a tower of glass rising behind him. He wasn't inside it, but leaning against it as he seemed to nibble at the flower, his other hand writing. And writing. And more writing. There was a sun rising in the distance, a cross around his neck.

Her eyes widened, her breathing hard out of habit.

A sun, why a sun? Why would Charlie be outside for a sunrise?

That had certainly not done much to settle her concerns, in fact had heightened them.

He seemed untouched by the sun, though, and unhurt. All things considered -- Charlie seemed as he always had.

"How is Charlie in the sun..?" She quietly mused to herself, bringing a hand to her forehead. "I don't get it."

A thought struck her.

Maybe it wasn't Charlie in the sun. There was, after all, a Rose near his lips and a Cross around his neck?

She turned her back to the door, letter in hand, and slid down sit on the ground. She continued staring at the letter, attempting then to Spirit Touch it.

Charlie hadn't been upset when the letter was written. Slightly irritated, annoyed, but not upset at all.

She shut her eyes, resting her head back against the door.

What am I missing.. why is he irritated.. is it Charlie?

She got no answers. It was definitely Charlie, though. To be fair, Charlie was a Brujah. Being irritated wasn't outside the 'norm' for that Clan.

She pressed her fingertips to her temples,

Why the rose? Why the cross? Is he with.. a Toreador, and a religious man.. in a glass.. house..

She opened her eyes once more, crumpling the paper up and staring at the patterns the folds and wrinkles made.

Two faces seemed to emerge out of the page. One, a male, seemed unfamiliar. The other, a woman, seemed much more familiar.

She seemed to almost breath a sigh of relief as Cass' face was seen in the pages, glancing curiously at the male. She meticulously tore the letter up, scattering the pieces of it along the ground. She glanced at the random order in which they'd fallen, going once more, searching with her everything if Charlie even wanted to be found, or just needed his space.

There were two sides to everything, and the paper fell from Bella's fingertips into two groups.

The first formed another face, one Bella recognized.

A great chasm separated the face from that of Charlie's ...

And Charlie was decidedly alone on his 'side' of the chasm that she saw.

Her eyes widened some, standing from her spot on the ground slowly. "Alright, time to have a talk.."
