Charlotte was about to retreat, but a man walked up behind her. Up ahead were two more people walking towards her. Charlotte was surrounded and had nowhere to go. Trembling, she brandished her wand.
"Back off!" she exclaimed.
"What can you do, little one? If you dare to make another dust explosion, we will immediately burn that little hand of yours, you understand?"
"W-what exactly do you want? You may have the wrong person!" cried Charlotte.
"We are not making a mistake. Your name is Charlotte Walter, right?" asked one of the men.
"H-how did you guys know my name?"
"You must come with us right now!"
"No! I don't want to! I do not have anything! You must be wrong!" cried Charlotte.
"You have absolutely no idea that you have such a precious thing in your chest cavity," the man replied.
Quickly, the man caught Charlotte's small arm and dragged her closer. One of the other men carried a large sack to put Charlotte in.
