[i]Take the test, they said. It will be fine, they said. Intercept the others, he said. Well this is just fan-tucking-fastic, he said. No, he didn't say that. All I gotta do is pump this thing with magic and then boom. Simple. Sure. Except this entire situation is SHIT.[/I]

Those thoughts were running through Charlotte's mind as she sat with her back against the wall.

A somewhat irritated Charlotte had separated from Xerox and had done as he instructed. Too bad the terrain and the stupid boots made her journey much more difficult then she needed to be. Not to mention having to tread carefully and walking along to make sure she wasn't spotted. Oh and that beam from the tower, yeah, that was great. She bitched and whined internally, her exterior just being extremely annoyed. Why couldn't things ever go smoothly? It's just A, then, B, then C, and the rest of the damn alphabet but of course, everything needs to go wrong. It provides tension, drama, excitement. Charlotte hated all of those things. And yet as she made her way, one hand clutching Xerox's device, a million possibilities running through her head. How did this even happen? Why did it happen? Rescuing instructors was NOT in the manual. No, no, no, she needed to calm down. Ah damn it, she was nervous. Taking in a very long and deep breath, Charlotte kept on going, though now she was more relaxed. Now that her head was on her shoulders again, she let the possibilities run through her head again. Once the tower was close, she began doing as Xerox instructed, placing magic into the device.

Now that she had seen the situation inside, she figured they were all royally and thoroughly screwed.

"[b]There.[/b]" She stated (to herself) as she finished charging Xerox's device with magic.
