after the shock about the burning Notre Dame here comes the next chapter and it begins to get thrilling...In the following Days Quasimodo treated ne like I had a bad sickness. But besides of the sick feeling every morning it wasn't not that bad at the beginning. Beside that Quasimodo disappeared often without a word. I didn't ask any question because I didn't want to control him. Quasimodo was so long under Frollos control that I thought he should enjoy his Freedom.
One day I found some strange herbs. I was always fascinated about the middle age and made some research. So I could recognize this herbs. This where ergot and savin. And I knew for what these where used in the middle ages. For pregnancy demolition. I was so shocked that I began to tremble. In this moment Quasimodo appeared behind me.
"Is something wrong?", he asked me.
I couldn't turn around.
"Don't make a fool of me!", I said angry.
"Don't upset. Its not good for you and..."
"Please. Don't act like you're worried about our child! I know what you're up to.", now I turned around with tears in my eyes: "You wanted to kill your own flesh and blood!"
"B-but Regina..."
"No! Remember what our lord said? YOU SHALL NOT KILL!", I cried and ran away. Quasimodo stood there with his head down.
In this moment I made a decision. I would raise my Child in the future, if Quasimodo really doesn't care about it, I will. I ran down the stairs and left the Cathedral. The only place I knew where I could go now was the Court of Miracles. I had to take a few breaks on my way because I was now in the 5.th moth and I felt that my child reduced my endurance many times.
As I finally reached the Court of Miracles a few Gypsies lead me to their leader Clopin. He recognized me.
"What brings you to us?", he asked me.
"I need a save place to bear my Child.", I said.
"Well okay, you're welcome here because you saved us too that day as you fought against Frollo. I guess Esmeralda could take care of you.", said Clopin and waved. Esmeralda appeared behind him.
"Regina, why are you here?", Asked Esmeralda me.
"Its a long story. I'll tell you when we're alone."
Esmeralda understood and lead Le to her home. A tent with Stars printed in it.
"Come in. I live Part Time here and Part Time in Phebus House when he has free time.", she explained and invited me to sit down, "what happened?", she asked me then and I began to cry. I told what happened and Esmeralda seemed to be shocked. As I ended she said: "I understand his fear but I never imagined he should be capable of doing something like this. You can stay here as long as you want."
And I was happy about this. Now I had a place where we can be save.
In the next day I was with Esmeralda on the market to buy some food. As Phebus came to us on his horse.
"You are really back?", Phebus said to me, he seemed to be worried.
"Whats wrong?", Esmeralda asked.
"Come.", he said and lead us in a alley where no one was.
"Our new Judge is here.", Phoebus said.
"No matter who it is, anybody is better than Frollo.", Esmeralda said.
"I'm not so sure...", he said.
"What are you talking about???" I asked.
"Its his brother. Jehan Frollo. He is the new Judge. And he has just one goal. Revenge.", Phebus said looking at me.
I stood there, shocked, not able to say something.
"I don't understand.", Esmeralda said.
"He thinks Regina has killed his brother.", Phebus explained.
"What??? Wait but we can tell him the truth!", Esmeralda said.
"He wouldn't believe you.", Phebus said.
"How about you???" Esmeralda asked.
"I wasn't there to be honest. You know that. I just saw Frollo fall from the Bell tower with Regina.", Phebus said.
Esmeralda took me without another word away. Back to the court of miracles. She dressed me like a gypsy so that no one could recognize me. I was afraid. I knew Jehan Frollo from the book. There he was a Boy always wanting to celebrate. He drinked and visited Prostitutes. He was so different than his religious brother Claude. I never imagined that he could be dangerous to me...
