Even as you're trying to be friendly Charlie continues to look at you with a mixture of curiosity and distrust and you partially don't blame her "I would be distrustful of people too if both of my parents were killed by some crazed government agency poor kid she must be incredibly lonely its okay Charlie you have nothing to fear from me." You offer but still she looks at you then opens her mouth for the second time "How do you know my name?" You don't know how to answer this after all you certainly didn't want her to get angry and start setting things including you on fire and automatically know what she's possibly thinking "Its a long story but I can reassure you that I have zero,absolutely no ties whatsoever with the Shop or any government agency I know you have been through so much Charlie and only want to help you out in any way I can." She just glares at you for a while after this speech then whispers "A lot of people I thought I could trust thought they could help me what makes you think you can?" You inform her that she's free to walk right out the door anytime she wishes but with the looming threat of the Shop still around searching for her Charlie stay puts before you give her a copy of Stephen King's Firestarter novel she glares at it surprised to see her own name and all her life story of takes the 8 year old a while to leaf through the book but finally she does handing it back to you " Though I feel you are a truthful honest person I'm 100% I can trust you but sigh I do for some reason...If you're telling the truth then here take my hand." As she holds out her right hand to you but you hesitate to take it and she urges you "Go on take it if I was going to set you on fire I already would have...go on take a hold of my hand." You do and it feels completely normal rather than burning hot and she then smiles fully at you "See? Told you I wasn't going to hurt you well since you know nearly everything about me including my name what's your name?" "Willy" you reply as she shakes your hand then looks around the living room in awe "This is a very nice house you have here Willy!" She exclaims taking in much of the modern day technology "Thank you do you want a grand tour before I show you where you can sleep Charlie?" She nods "Yes if you want." Following a tour of your kitchen,dining room,bathroom and finally the small guest room seemily designed for her Charlie turns to you with a smile "Thank you for the tour Willy I can feel like I can really trust you so you said I can stay with you and no one the Shop included will know a thing about me being here?" "Yes." You nod "Are you sure you want me around you? You know how dangerous I am." She friend a bit but you shake your head "As long as you have your power under control I have no reason to be scared of you you are a very sweet and beautiful girl Charlie you just have a accursed power one I can help you get under control if you want." Charlie gives you a odd confused look "How?" You explain to her how you have been studying on psychic powers pyrokinesis included "I can't cure you of your power Charlie but I can try and help get it under control so you won't be considered a freak or monster to others." Her bright blue eyes lit up as she asked "Really you'd do that for me?" You nod again "Yes unlike the Shop my only interest in you is your character,well being Charlie not your powers I know its the Shop that's the true monster and menace not you!" At this Charlie completely touched
