“Oh no! Luigi!” I said worriedly. “Where is he?”
“Well, if I-a-knew where he-a was, I won’t-a be-a here you know…” Mario said as he looked at an injured Karla. “HOLY CANNOLI CHARLIE IS DAT KARLA!?”
I was embarrassed. “Yeah. I found her injured so I decided to take care of her for the time being. I saved her life, if she lost any more blood, she’d be dead by now.” I said.
“Oh… I thought you were-a doing-a something different with her ya know.” Mario winked at me.
“Mario!” I shouted scournfully.
“But still. You are saving a wanted woman. You might-a be wanted for helping-a her.” Mario said seriously. “Besides, Charlie, you’re the nicest person I’ve ever met. You’re saving the life of a hawt wanted woman. But Charlie… I know-a you don’t remember what she did to you 5 years ago but… try to remember ‘kay? Charlie…?”
My eyes went blank as my head started exploding with pain again. The whole world shook as I held my head with excrutiating pain. I passed out.
Mario looked nervously. “I don’t-a know anythin’ ’bout-a Charlie!” he scaddadled.

“PLEAAASE STOP!!! NO MORE!!!!!”

I slowly opened my eyes as I felt the warmth of a fire form nearby. I saw Karla besides me.
“Are…are you okay?” she said nervously.
“Yeah… thanks.” I said. I was embarassed. One moment I was looking after her, and now the tables have turned. “I appreciate it Karla.”
She looked confused.
“My name is Karla?” she asked.
“No, it’s Janet Jackson” I replied, thinking what the hell she’s saying.
“Ohh, so it’s Janet Jackson?” she asked.
“No it’s Karla. Are you okay?” I asked. I felt nervous all of a sudden because Karla was about to burst in tears.
“Honestly… I’m not okay… I have no idea where I am, who I am, what I’ve done. I’m so scared… I woke up to find the blood of others on me and I saw you lying there…” she started to cry.
“The explosion…” I thought to myself. That must have caused Karla amnesia.
“Ohh… there, there it’s okay. I’ll help you out.” I said involuntairly as I patted her shoulders. What the hell was I doing? I save a criminal’s life, and now I’m comforting her?
She looked at me through her teary eyes and grabbed me.
“Thank you…” she said.
All I could think was how good she smelled. Lavender.

“Anyways. I have to tell you something. Your name is Karla and you just killed a couple of maplers and severely injured a GM.” I said.
“I… killed someone…” Karla said in disbelief as she stared at her own hands. “I feel so dirty. It’s like there’s an evil feeling inside of me that..”
“Everyone has different personalities.” I said as I stared the ocean nearby. “We have masks that we use. Masks that makes us unique. Masks that express emotions.”
Karla looked at me seriously. “Are you Dr. Phil?”
” No.. no, my name’s Charlie.” I said laughing.
“Oh… well you’re like Dr. Phil.” Karla giggled.
There was a russel from a nearby bush as two GMs popped out.
“Karla, we got you now…” One of the GMs said, unsheathing a throwing star.
“GMs!” I said as I went in front of Karla. I was protecting her. Yeah, I know, I couldn’t believe it as well. “You have to help her. Please, help her she has amnesia, please don’t hurt her.” I said.
“Move..” the GM said coldly. “we won’t accept any interferrence this time. You must be her accomplice, her partner.”
Karla stared at me blankly. “Charlie…”
“No, you don’t understand. I…”
One of the GM shot an avenger at me. The whole thing happened in like a blink of an eye. The next thing I know, I was on the floor, dripping blood. My left arm was blown and ripped away, pinned to a tree. Karla screamed in horror.
