If Edwin was honest, when Charles looked at him his fear didn't go away. It got worse. He had seen eyes like that in places he rather didn't want to remember. He hated this. He hated to be reminded that that creature was Charles there...
"Charles," Edwin whispered as the other was trying to move closer. He reached his hand toward him but as the circle stopped Charles he pulled it back too. He saw the muzzle work and hurt Charles and then the way he looked at him. As if it was Edwin who... "No, no, Charles, no..." Edwin stuttered and before he knew it, his body moved.
"Edwin!" Daphne gasped, reaching for him as if she wanted to stop him.
"Stop that boy, do not go into the circle!" Lady Goode hissed frustrated but Edwin was already halfway in. He was reaching for Charles's muzzle.
"I cannot watch him being hurt by this awful device," Edwin said before he grabbed onto the muzzle, looking for a way to take it off.
"I understand your frustration but that bond will not come off, it is a sign of ownership," Lady Goode stomped her feet. "If you want the Hound, you need to talk to its owner about it."
"But, the golden rope..." Daphne pointed out. "What does that mean?"
"It means this will be a complicated trial," the Lady grumbled. "We need to call back a witch from Hell."
