"Everyone, this is Charlotte. Charlotte, these are my cohorts: Medeva, Dr. belljar, Baron Wasteland, Buggs Zapper, Jacqueline Hyde, Sir Vile, Jane Reaction, General Mayhem, Dee Cryption, and Baron Grinnit. Have I forgotten anyone?" a girl who looked to be about 12 to 14 years old walked up to Charlotte and hugged her waist. "Oh! Now who is this little sweetheart?" Charlotte asked as she returned the maternal gesture. "That's Patty Larceny. She views me as her Aunt." Explained Carmen as Patty looked up at her.
"Is this my new Aunt, Aunt Carmen?"
"Yes, I am your new aunt since I'm your aunt's girlfriend." That earned a squeal of pure delight from the young girl as Charlotte giggled. She was so beautiful even in the soft lighting. After introductions were done, Carmen took Charlotte by her wrist and dragged her down the corridor as the noirette was confused until they stopped at the outside. "Carmen.. this is so beautiful! How.. did you do this?" She asked, gently running her fingertips across the soft white petals of a lily of the valley. "I.. had some help with making this garden for you." Carmen said, a light flush being revealed on her cheeks.
"When did these feelings for me begin, Hon? I'm curious."
"...since the day we locked eyes on each other in one of your concerts."
"I see. Thank you for being honest with me." She said before kissing Carmen on the right side of her face and proceeded to head to her new quarters in the base. Once she arrived, she opened the door to find a black fading dark blue dress and a deep wine red jewelry box on the bed. She closed the door behind her and immediately slipped off her dress she wore for her concert along with her shoes, jewelry, and accessories. Carefully lacing the dress up, Charlotte also noticed a pair of golden heels and slid them on as well. She then immediately went to look in the full-length mirror.
'Pretty..' she thought before turning over to the red velvet box and picked it up. She knew it wasn't a ring box, no, it was way too large for something that small to be in. It was either a necklace or a bodysuit. She opened the box's lid and looked at the choker that seemed to rest on the cream-colored lining inside of it.
She smiled as she clasped it on and fingered the little moon charm on the choker. Charlotte turned to look at herself in the mirror again and froze. In the mirror's reflection, was one of ACME's agents, a woman by the looks of it. "Juliet rose?!" The woman in the blue dress smirked as her eyes glowed the color of wisteria trees. "Dee Plomassy, I take it?"
"What are you doing here? Let me take you away from Carmen." A cackle began to rise out of Charlotte. "Do you really think I'd go with my brother's killer's Sister?! How stupid do you take me for?" The woman turned to face Dee who was pale upon recognizing the exact same blue eyes and dark hair that the lakeshore Strangler had. "That's right. I'm Charles Lee Ray's little sister, Charlotte~" she said, taking a step forward towards Mike Norris's sister, causing her golden heel to click. That was then Dee realized Charlotte was the one who turned all those agents into animals! Fortunately, the effects were only temporary as they changed back to humans and maybe she was wrong..

Dee: "Lady of the base, sorry that I ask this, but I hope that I've been misinformed. I've sent some agents to take a look around through here, and they wound up at your doors. Through the weeks, we've seldom, get a warm welcome, so I must ask just to be sure: Did you do something to them?"
That earned her a pretty giggle from the woman as she pinned a dark red lily clip to match her choker in her hair.
Charlotte: "who, me~? All I did was reveal their true forms.~"
"You turned them into Animals..." Said Dee as Charlotte was applying deep smoky purple eyeshadow on. "Hm.." her right eye glowed the exact same wisteria color as the room darkened. Her shadows licked and swirled around her as she looked at the agent, her makeup all done with smoky amethyst color on her lids, a small bit of blush, her lips painted a deep black and lashes a dark crystal.
Charlotte: "I don't know who you are or why you're here~, But let me make this one thing clear~: I've got friends to protect, loved ones I can't neglect, So I'm not taking chances, dear~."
Charlotte's shadows finally came into the agent's gaze as she didn't notice Patty and Carmen standing there in the doorway, watching as Charlotte dealt with Dee with Patty looking at her in awe while Carmen was in equal amounts disbelief, adoration, and was flustered as hell. Charlotte looked so beautiful even when she was mad, although she knew she was not a killer, just a woman who knew transformation spells with the desire to protect those she cared about.
"If you make one wrong move, then you're done for. Anything I don't approve, then you're done for. I can put a spell on you and you're done for.~ Girl, you better run or soon you will be done for.~"
Dee tried to make a run for it, but Charlotte quickly cut her off and a bright light surrounded the room, causing the two female in the doorframe to cover their eyes. When the light died down, they uncovered their eyes and gasped. In Dee's place was a small owl as Charlotte laughed. "Sorry, but I don't go with dirty brother killers' sisters~" she crooned before grabbing the owl and lifting it up to her eyesight. "One more thing before I let you go." She then shifted into her other self. "Tell your boss that if she or any of the agents pull a stunt like this again.. you'll learn why I was once called 'the shadow priestess'. UNDERSTOOD?!"
The owl hooted out of fear and agreed, immediately flying through out of the window. Charlotte sighed before Carmen cleared her throat, watching as she turned around. "Oh.. shoot. I didn't-"
"THAT WAS INCREDIBLE, AUNT CHARLOTTE!"
"Yeah, Charlie. I can't believe you were the one who turned all those ACME agents into different animals!"
Charlotte's heart started to beat as she smiled and hugged the new members of her family. She finally felt like she belonged and wasn't seen as a freak..
