Summary: Here's Charlie's story set in S1 in her POV. Hope you enjoy.
My name is Charlie Matheson and I am the eldest and last child of Ben and Rachel Matheson. My younger and only brother, Danny, was killed by the Militia. I am also Miles Matheson's niece. I'm his niece, because Ben was his brother. I say was, because Ben was killed by Militia. I have lost almost everyone that I love and care about. My dad and brother are dead; Maggie, my mother figure, is dead; and Nora is dead. Maggie died from blood loss after some dogs attacked, and Nora died of blood loss from an explosion. She was too close to an explosive when it went off.
When I was little I lived with mom, dad, and Danny in Georgia. Miles and his best friend, Sebastian Monroe, also lived in Georgia. Miles didn't visit much, though.
I was about four years old when the blackout happened. Mom and dad let me eat out of a ice cream tub before we packed what we could and left to go to the country. Before the blackout, though, I remember that Uncle Miles came by for a visit and let me ride in his car. He had one of those old tape decks. He had some music playing while he drove. I remember him singing along and me just laughing.
I remember that on our way to the country, mom left us and I didn't understand why. We never saw mom again until recently.
When we got to the country and made a home for ourselves, dad found Maggie and Aaron and took them in. Aaron became the teacher to the kids, while Maggie was a mother figure and friend to Danny and I. I was the main one that looked after Danny, though. He had asthma and it became my number one job to look after and take care of Danny.
When we first left after the blackout, mom told me when I was little, "Your job, Charlie, is to hold Danny's hand. Don't let go of Danny's hand. Can you do that, Charlie?"
When the Militia came to take dad and dad obliged, Danny didn't want them to take him. I wasn't even there. I was off in the woods pouting like a little brat. But when I heard a gun shot, I ran back and saw my dad shot and Maggie at his side on the ground, Aaron standing not far away. Dad was still alive enough to tell me that Danny was gone, the Militia took him, and to go to Chicago where Miles was at.
When I left to go find my uncle, Aaron and Maggie insisted on going with me. I couldn't say anything to get them to stay home, so they tagged along.
On our way, Jason joined us, and when we found Miles in Chicago, he was just a guy in a bar constantly drinking. He didn't want to go, but I argued that we're family. So we all left to go find Danny.
Along the way, Maggie died from too much blood loss after some dogs attacked.
Shortly afterward Nora, one of Miles' old friends, joined our little group.
After we rescued Danny and mom from Monroe's clutches, we set off to find out how to stop Monroe from getting power. I didn't even know that mom was alive until we rescued her, though. Ever since she left, I thought she was dead.
When we got a hold of an amulet and headed to the tower, Tom Neville, Jason's father, was in our group, but we didn't trust him. He's Militia, after all.
When we got to the tower, there were Grace's friends. Grace was one of dad's friends when we lived in Georgia. Her friends tried to kill us all, because we were on our way to level twelve to bring the power back on. In
