“Je ne sais pas quoi penser de ça, mon amour”

“Je ne veux plus rien avoir à faire avec ce démon ! Si elle a besoin de ressentir des émotions, qu'elle les trouve auprès de lui.”

“Je ne sais pas, je ne sais pas, mais il est”

“J'ai dit laissez-le entrer”

The door opened, shining light into the  dark room. Charlotte turned to look at the door. Demands and Submission stood at the doorway and in between them was a young boy with black hair and green eyes, he had an annoying smile on his face. 

Demands stepped forward and reached against the wall, he flipped a switch and turned the lights on “ Charlotte, we brought you a friend, this is Éthéré. He’s going to be staying here for a week”

Demands and Submission left the room before Charlotte could speak leaving the two in the room. Éthéré walked towards Charlotte “ Bonjour and Salut Mère! It's great to see you”

Charlotte spoke “Mére means mother , use manquer instead and your pronunciation is wrong”

“Well what do you expect , I'm new at this french thing” Éthéréjoshed “maybe you could teach me?”

“What did they tell you to do?” Charlotte asked. Éthéréexplained “they said you were a nutcase that couldn't feel anything and that I should poke a pull until I find something”

“A nutcase?” Charlotte questioned 

“A nutcase!” Éthérére peated “they are not wrong are they, I mean look at you. You just stand around in the dark doing nothing all day” 

“Usaully people trying to be therapist act kinder” Charlotte stated “or am I mistaken” 

“Therapist? Hahahaha!” Éthéré laughed "I don't think you get what I said! I'm not here to make you smile, I'm here to make you break this little act you're doing.” 

“My act?” Charlotte asked “could you explain?” 

“You're pretending to be this emotionless child for attention!” Ethereum claimed “you aren’t some special medical case, you're a dumb attention seeking bitch…lets see how long you can keep it up!” 

Éthéré quickly swung and opened his hand, slapping Charlotte against the cheek. Charlotte stumbled back, her right cheek now red. Her face remained perfectly expressionless. Éthéré walked around her in a circle “come on! Why lie to me! I won't tell anyone, well anyone excluding your parents”

Charlotte opens her mouth to speak but before she does Éthéréswings again hitting Charlotte in the back of the head. He laughed “you don't even fight back , good show! Encore, Encore!”

Charlotte raises back up “I don't understand, what do you think you’ll–”

Éthéré strikes her again “come on! Just cry already so I can be done with this! I know you're faking it!” 

Charlotte spoke “Éthéré?” 

“Yes? What is it” Éthéréscoffed “gonna beg?” 

“I…” Charlotte fixed her posture “Im going to hit you” 

Éthéré chuckled “what a confident girl. go on then, make my-”

Charlotte swung at Éthéré with a closed fist right into his nose. Éthéré fell backwards onto the ground holding his face in pain. Charlotte stood above him “You hit me three times, get up” 

“You're mad!” Éthéré yelled “I'll get you disowned for that you bitch!”

“Get up” Charlotte repeated “ Im going to hit you again , its your karma”
