Hanna clung to Kallman's fur with all her might, afraid she might be swept off in his wild run through the swamp. For a split second, and a split second only, she wondered if Ferin would be all right...but then she realized that she didn't care and forgot about him.
She held on tightly, finding herself thinking about the Marsh Hare.
"Good Choice," it had said, when she'd saved Kallman from the crawling things in the water. What did that mean? Could it be that if she'd let Kallman die, even when she suspected he was an imposter, then something far worse would have happened to her? Remembering the long legs and sharp teeth of the hare, she decided that she didn't want to know, though it still continued to trouble her.

::Kallman put Hanna down next to Charlie. Very exicted Charlie came over and licked Hanna. Kallman waved to Charlie to relax. Charlie let Hanna pet his plant head. Kallman had never before seen Charlie so happy. Then from out of nowhere he spoke.:: "Hanna" ::Kallman jumped back amazed, Charlie hadn't even ever said his name. Kallman looked to Hanna. "What is going on? Do you know Charlie somehow?" ::Kallman was very confused. Only Charlie knew the truth.::

Hanna jumped. "W-what?" she stuttered in surprise. "I don't...think so," she said, staring at the flytrap. "I've never met a talking plant before-nothing like-Charlie..." she muttered, letting her voice trail off. She was beginning to remember something. It was like an itch she couldn't scratch, or perhaps a dream, one she'd forgotten.

::Charlie kept nudging Hanna with his head like he was trying to tell her something. Charlie wanted to tell her, wanted her to know it was him. He was a plant there was no way he could tell her. He couldn't talk again, he wasted all his power just to say her name. He hoped it would be enough. Charlie hated his plant prison but what he hated more was the fact he couldn't talk to his sister. His sister thought she was alone but Charlie was there for her and she didn't know it. She didn't understand. Charlie had to think of something something that would show her, the man within the beast.::
"Hey Hanna you honestly have never met a plant like Charlie before you met me?" ::Kallman asked. Hanna nodded no:: "Hmm that is odd. I'm just kind of curious you know. " ::Kallman shrugged.::

"No, never a plant like Charlie. I met this old willow once that--never mind, it's different," she mumbled. "I've never met another creature like Charlie."
What she didn't say out loud was that she had begun to remember another Charlie, one that she hadn't thought of in perhaps ten years.
"Kallman," Hanna began cautiously. "You're sure Charlie is really a plant, right?"

"Um, he's been a plant ever since I met him. I found him near the caves you were hunting for the rabbit at. He came to me and followed me here. Ever since he's stayed with me, I never really figured out why he followed me here in the first place. Does the rabbit have some sort of power?" ::Kallman was trying to put the pieces together could Charlie be like Hanna.::
::Charlie contiued to nudge his head against Hanna constantly bumping her and bumping her.Kallman demanded that he stop and he did. Charlie had been thankful to the wolf for letting him live in a place far far away from the sorcess that made him this way.:: "ssss" he muttered.::

"Dragon's teeth," Hanna whispered, eyes growing wide at Kallman's reply. She looked at Charlie with a kind of horror and fell to her knees in front of him. "Ch-Charlie?!" she cried falteringly. "M-my Charlie?!" she gasped out, staring up at the plant. "It can't--bheith sà tusa, deartháir?!"
Is it you, brother?!

"sss" ::Charlie was trying to answer her but it had been years since he last spoke that language. Slowly he remembered the english word he knew very well. "Hanna" ::He said her name again and brushed his head softly and in a loving way against her. Charlie came up and looked at her. His plant face was mere inches away from her. Slowly Charlie kissed her cheek. "sss"
::Kallman stood there silent not knowing what to say. Could Charlie have been human at one point?::

Hanna hugged him tightly, unable to stop the furious beat of her heart. "Kallman! Oh Kallman you've found him!" she cried leaping up to hug the him as well, a great bear hug that lifted him off of his feet as she spun around in a quick cuircle and let him go. Already she had twirled back to Charlie's side and begun to talk quickly in the old language, telling him about their family and some of the things that had happened in the ten years since they had last met.
"And fearth, Charlie! We all thought you were dead!" she cried, slipping back into English. "I've been trying to hunt down your murderer for the last eight years, and here you are! Alive and...at least healthy, for all that you're a venus flytrap."

::Suddenly the language of his family came down to him:;
(I'm going to use english you can figure it out.)
"Hanna, the person that made me this way was not a person at all. It was that hare. Ten years ago I went to capture it for us and it turned me well into this. I have no idea how to turn back to human or what to do sister. This wolf he has been very good to me. I sense a good soul within him. I also sense he's likes you and won't admit it. ::Laughed Charlie:: "Sister, please stop chasing that hare before you end up like me."
::Kallman stood there not knowing a single word Charlie had just said. He looked to Hanna.:: "Okay, okay Charlie is a person but still who did this to him? Why? How? When?

For a hazardous moment Hanna almost cursed the hare, but bit back her tongue. It had been the hare, after all, who had shown her the cave and turned her normal. What else it had it's strang talons in, she couldn't be sure.
Instead she sighed quietly, trying to let her frustration out with the air. She suddenlt noticed that Kallman was still behind her and realized that somewhere in the last few minutes she had forgotten him. How confused he must be!
"Kallman," she said. "This is my brother. And you were right--he wasn't always a plant."
She explained to him quickly what Charlie had told her, wondering in the back of her mind what they could do. Was there another magician, a sorcerer perhaps, that could undo the hare's treacherous spell?

"Okay now that we know who he is. How do we turn him back to normal. That magican guy that you were talking to who's side is he on? Could he be able to help us?" ::Kallman was remembering Ferrin for when he found Hanna.
::Charlie stood there close to his sister, not wanting to leave her side. He knew that he could not follow them past the swamp. Plant legs were no where near as fast as human ones. He would like it so much if he could just hug his sister. He reached out his vines and wrapped them around her. Then he pulled them back hoping she would understand his justure.::

Hanna reached an arm around Charlie as she replied "I wouldn't go to that dirty--I mean, I don't trust him. We can rule him out as far as help goes." She thought of the last time they had spoken and felt a snarl twist over her lips, but she said no more of him, trying instead to think of something--anything!--else.
"The Land of the Dead...what sort of place is that? Might there be someone there who can help us?"

"The land of the dead is where Kedro's fortess is. I refuse to go there." ::Kallman snorted. Kallman didn't want to get Hanna involved with Kedro. Kedro was no help to them. Then Kallman had an idea. "Daceria. She knows magic, maybe just maybe she could turn Charlie back to normal." ::Smiled Kallman. Kallman wasn't sure if she could do it but they had to try. He had to try for Hanna. Hanna seemed so very happy to know her brother was alive. Kallman vowed right then and there. He got on his knees took her hand and said to her. "I promise I will get him back to normal" ::Then he kissed her hand in a gentlemen jesture and rose to his feet. "Well then shall we go?"

"Go where?" Hanna replied with surprise. "I thought you refused to go to the land of the dead?"
She felt the warmth his kiss had left on her hand and surpressed a shiver from running through her. Her hand tingled and for just a second she felt her eyes turn blue. Charlie nudged her hand and she looked at him, hiding all trace of expression on her face.
