Charlotte's p.o.v

Running to a place i had no idea i was going. "Why do all these have to happen to me?". i asked myself as i continue running. The voices came again causing me to almost break down.

"You can never be set free Charlotte...only i can set you free and i do not want to....you...belong to me.....the more you keep desiring deliverance...the more I'll keep driving you crazy!". A laughter erupted...so loud that i had to hold my ears. It was this time i wish i was deaf maybe i won't be hearing all these voices.

"I want to be saved". i said to myself as tears rolled down my cheeks. "I want to be saved".I yelled loudly as i saw someone approach me.

"Chelsea". Tessy called as she came to me not wanting to touch me. She turned to face Miranda, whispering something to her which Miranda nodded to.

I looked at my friends wondering if they regretted meeting me but all i saw was love and concern in their eyes.

"Are you OK?". Tessy asked still not wanting to touch me.

I nodded. I glanced at Miranda who was on the phone with someone. She was looking at me and then reporting to the person. I don't know if i should be worried or not.

"Don't worry. Help is on the way". Tessy said.

"help?". I asked her and immediately, my legs started moving in it's own. I couldn't even tell if they ran after me or not, all i knew was i was way ahead of them even if they want to do catch.

Eric's p.o.v

After getting a call from Miranda telling me about Charlotte, i quickly got into my car and drove off to meet them but on getting there, there was no sign of anyone. I decided to call Miranda again maybe i was in the wrong area but before i could place the call, she called me.

"Mira..."

"She ran off again". Miranda cuts in. Her voice sounded like she just ran a marathon. "i don't know Eric..what's going on with her?".

"Did you know where she went?".i ignored the question she asked me because i didn't really know how to explain things to her.

"I have no idea. Tessy and i have been searching for her but no sign of her anywhere".

"Keep looking. I'll look around here too". i told her as i hung up. Staring at the whole area, i prayed to God to help me find her. Immediately i got a leading in my spirit but this time i couldn't go with my car. It was something i needed to do on foot.

I walked almost all over the area but there was no sign of her. I was about giving up when a voice told me "Look over there". i looked to my left but there was nothing there or so i thought. I decided to go closer and that was when i saw her. She was....i moved closer to see what she was doing and right there, she was kissing a guy?

I rushed to pull her away from the guy and the guy immediately ran off. She turned to face me and truth be told, I've never seen such an enchanted eyes before. I shook my head and thoughts so i could concentrate.

"Why wouldn't you let me be?". She asked still looking at me. "Why are you trying to save me?".

"Charlotte". i called her and immediately she closed her eyes. It was like her real name was having an effect on her. "Charlotte". i called again this time, she moved closer to me like she was about to bite me or something. "Let me help you".

"You can't save her Eric". A strange voice. Immediately the voice spoke, Charlotte turned to a completely different person. Her eyes twitches, her lips glowed, the way she speaks held so much authority and i was glad the queen decided to show herself. This time, i would make sure she leaves and never comes back.

She turned to look at me and smiled. She came closer to me, touching my cheek as she wanted to plant a kiss on my lips but i refused. "You can't avoid me Eric...no one in this world has been able to".

"The one in me is greater than the one in the world..so you don't expect me to be the same with them". i said boldly as she nodded.

"Many people have acted like they knew the scriptures but the truth remains that they always fall at my feet". she said and i knew exactly what she meant.

Only someone with abundant grace can rebuke a seductive spirit.

"Do you think you can avoid me?".She ask pushing me to the wall behind me.

"I can't avoid you by myself but at the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth i bind you!". immediately she screamed and i saw Charlotte again, that feeble and weak Charlotte.

"If you hurt me...you hurt her". The voice said. "Besides, she needs to say she wants to be saved before you can save her....anything you do without her agreeing will hurt her more than how I'm hurting her....be ready to meet your downfall Eric. This girl right here....will be your downfall". Charlotte looked at me and immediately her eyes closed as she landed straight into my arms.

I prayed to God for letting me save her before she did something stupid. I carried her to my car.

I called Miranda to tell her her friend was OK and that I'll be taking care of her tonight. "I hope I'm making the right decision". Eric thought as he drove Charlotte home.
