Chapter Chapter 11 Don't you love me?

She continues to explore the library saying goodbye to the sanctuary when she needs to cry every time she needs to escape and solace from her hard life. She pulled out the Harry Potter and the Sorcerers' stone and flip the first page, when she first read this book, she was so amazed that she pretended that she also a student of *Hogwarts and she has an evil *Muggle for parents and that she's a *Gryffindor because she is very very loyal to the people she loved and that Ethan is a *Ravenclaw because he is a smart head. She thinks she can never move on to this imaginary Wizard boy's story. Now that Gregory is in her life she thought he was a *Slytherin because she can't understand his *parseltongue.

She sat on the floor to rest, the library was fully air-conditioned to restore the condition of the books. The temperature of the room made her tired and she fell asleep. She fell into a dream state because she's holding her favorite book, she dreamed that she was riding on a cloud and was carried to a faraway land, while in Poppy it's already almost evening, it's still high noon in this part of the world. The clouds brought her in front of a very large Mansion, it can be classified as a palace but lacks the magnificence of a medieval castle. Like the medieval castle it was surrounded by a thick forest, but the area where the palace stands were surrounded by a beautiful landscape, there's a vineyard and cobbled stone bridge and an old-style rotunda that normally can be found in Hispanic towns, the majestic landscape did not match with the infrastructure's architecture. The Palace looked like a stack of modern infrastructure in Poppy's business district. It's like deliberately insulting nature as if it has made an unforgivable sin towards the owner.

she strolled on the lavender field, she crossed the romantic bridge until she reached the palace gate. It even adds to the irony of the design because the stone gate has dragon statues similar to that of Forbidden City. This place is a fusion that style clashes in all directions. The owner of this palace is very interesting. It's like he hates the world. He gets in without even noticing. When she gets inside the door she is shocked by an empty hall it's barren like a dessert. just a marble floor and a crystal window. Not even a painting or a crazy bald uncle's portrait. This place is as odd as the mad hatter. She continued to satiate her curiosity, she reached the kitchen and servants are busy, she thought she saw *Gordon Ramsey but she's not sure. A high ranking servant walked past her and turned back and said.

"Why are you wandering around, change into your uniform, and help the kitchen prepare for the return of the crowned prince." Chelsea thought this is the most vivid dream she had, except for the nightmare.

But before she could change into a uniform she was transported back to her own body inside the library. She woke up in a daze and she was a little bit confused, Ethan shook her shoulder.

"Sister takes a look outside the school gate, it's Eric and his wife." Ethan has long dropped the titular name for their parents. She stared at her with a worried face.

"Don't worry we'll call the police." For the longest time she held back fighting because they don't have a place to run to, but heaven has heard her prayer one day and she can finally have a good fight with their evil biological parents. She asked Mrs. Sanchez for help, she explained their situation, and the old librarian was touched. They helped them call the cops and explained their situation. The police took away their parents but the police asked for their statement.

In the police station when their mother saw them she did not hold her mouth from cursing them and calling them names. They ignored their mother and went to the chief's office for their statement. From the outside they can hear their father's pleading scream "Daughter, can you forgive mother and father this time? I promise we're not bothering you again. You can come back home anytime".

She pretended she didn't hear anything. After that, her insides were disturbed and she wanted to come out. All the hair on her body stood.

"Ethan, please forgive Daddy, didn't you remember the wooden plane I gave you like a toy? It means a lot to you, right? Daddy loves you very much, please get us out of here, please don't you love me anymore?"

Ethan can't take it anymore, ran outside the station, and puked his lunch out. He came back with tears for possibly both the horrendous thing their father had said and their pathetic situation. Her heart was wrenched seeing her brother's emotional wound tear up open. They hugged each other out of helplessness. The officer who interviewed them is awestruck. They offered to bring them home but they refused, they requested to keep their address confidential. The police agreed and gave them his cell phone number so that they could call him if they needed his help. They thanked the officer and left. They held each other's hand and went home.

At home after dinner, they sat together outside the small garden outside the house and stared at the star and didn't talk, just sympathize with each other's misgivings and luck. After a while, Ethan stared at her and asked.

"Sister, how come I didn't see a brother in law all day." His innocent eyes expecting a piece of good news from his brother in law

"Ethan, listen to me carefully, Gregory has nothing to do with me, he is not a brother in law okay." She explained the real situation so that they can never have any misunderstanding in the future.

"Okay, sister I understand." Ethan smiled brightly, he knows that Gregory is his brother in law, he just knows, it can't be explained by reason nor by science.

This is just the author's foolish assumptions: Thinking that you didn't read the novel or watched the movie series of Harry Potter. That you didn't know the meaning of the highlighted words.

That's why I referred you just in case you don't know okay?
