Chapter 3: freedom
"Hey, can you hear me. Please wake up. I don't like people who asleep to long." Harry heard voice that sound like a young child but older. He opened his eyes and saw a little girl sitting next to him with tears in her bright emerald green eyes while he's on the floor
"Uh. What's going on?" he said putting his hand to his face and tried to get up but the girl made him lay back down.
"You were knocked out for ages but thank goodness that you're awake." She said wiping her tears and giving a faint smile
"Why are you telling me this any way?" He said staring up at her
"Because I'm trying to be nice to you, silly" she said smiling at him
"Ok, I'm not trying to be rude or anything but where am I?" Harry asked
"Your are at my house silly" she said giving him an even bigger smile
"How did I get into your home, anyway?" said Harry
"Well, my mother, my father, and I went over to your aunt and uncle's home to see if you could come over and have dinner with us but what we found was that the house was robbed" she said while lowering her head
"Thanks for the sad story about me but you still haven't answered my question yet. Why am I at your house?" he said trying to control his anger
"Well, my father found you unconscious in the house in one of the bedrooms unfed while searching if you or your relatives were ok" she said
"Thank for explaining but one question, why am I on the floor here, when I just woke up?" Harry said shaking his head side to side in disbelief and trying to get relaxed position on the floor but instead he just sat up
"Because my father put you there and I was trying to wake you up from sleep talking" she said before her head shot to the door.
There was a knock on the bedroom door and entered the room was Lila's mother carrying a try of food.
"Good morning Harry and Lila" she said with a smile
"Good morning mother" said Lila looking up at her mother, then back at Harry
"Is that food your carry miss …. Um ….?" Harry said looking down at the floor then to Lila.
"Just call me Isis, Harry." Isis said walking over to the night stand and put the tray down
"Ok, miss Isis. I wanted to thank you and your husband for taking care of me after what happened back at my uncle's house" Harry said blushing
"No problem Harry, I'm always here to lend a helping hand" she said "and Lila I want you to clean your room, ok sweetie"
"Yes mother" she said with a sweet smile before getting up and left the room
"Um, Isis, I wanted to know why you helped me." Harry asked with guilty eyes
"Well I'm not sure Harry. My guess is that my husband mistake you his first lost son from his first marriage" Isis said trying no to cry, so she turned her back on him so he wouldn't see it
"I'm sorry Isis about your husband's son" said Harry calmly getting up and rubbing her back with ease
"That's ok, Harry and thank you very much." Isis said with a small smile
"No problem, so what can I do for you Isis, since you helped me out in the first place" Harry asked nicely
"Why don't you help little Lila by cleaning her room and the attic, ok or is that to much for you both?" said Isis turning around with a big smile on her face
"Sure, why not. Since I have nothing to do in this room and thanks for every thing, Isis" said Harry as he left the room with a happy smile
"Oh, Harry, my son, why can't you see that I've been watching you this past 11 years." Said Isis as she stand there crying her heart out in pain
meanwhile
"Knock, knock, Lila, may I come in your room, please" Harry asked creaking the door opened nicely,
"You may enter, Harry. I'm almost done cleaning my room, so please hold on, ok," said Lila
Harry entered the room very slowly for he wanted to process everything of what a girl's room would look like inside his mind. The walls were painted by the color that was between light green and light blue. Her furniture was dark mahogany; even her bed frame. The bed sheets were the same colors as the walls.
"Wow Lila! You have a beautiful room. Who helped you make the design?" said Harry walking over to a neat little book shelf and looking at the books one by one by the title; until it he stopped at one book.
"Thanks Harry. My Mother and Father made this way before I was born and they told me that it was going to be a guest room but instead it became my room." Said Lila walking out of her closet carrying a bag full of dirty clothes and dropping at the end of her bed.
"Ohm, Lila, do you know what kind of book this is?" asked Harry as he walked back over to Lila from the book with a book in hand called 'Lord of the Rings: Tale of True Feelings'
"I'm not quite sure, my mother gave it to me when I was probable around 5 years old and never told me what it's about anyway? Said Lila looking at book before grabbing it out of Harry's hand and opening the front cover to see if there was any writing in the book but there were none except a few words on the first page.
"What does it says, Lila" said Harry walking beside her and looking into the book that was in her hands.
"It says: 'Three Rings for the Elven-king under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them,One ring to bring them all and in darkness bind them, In the land of mordor where the shadow lie'"( poem frase form the book) said Lila looking up at Harry confused.
"What does this means, Lila" said Harry lokking back at her
"I don't know? But 1 thing that I want to know is, what is a Elven and some how I think I want to be one plus we can be twins" said Lila looking back at book and rereading the poem phrase in her head
"So do I but why be twins if we have each other and I don't know what it means then do we now?" said Harry giving her a stern look before grabbing the book out of her hands and putting it back on the book shelf
"Well no, Harry but I think we should tell my mother" said Lila resting her hand onto her hips and giving him an angry look
"Well I don't know Lila. I think your mother won't understand what it means of mordor, elven, dwarves, and etc. ok" said Harry walking back to Lila but stop dead in his tracks.
The floor started to shake really bad.
Harry and Lila feel to floor during the shake. Shortly after it stop.
"What's going?" said Harry trying to get up but couldn't. So he stayed where he was and waited to for Lila to come to him.
"I don't know Harry? But I think it has to with the book we open and that poem phrase, don't you think" said Lila crawling over to Harry and holding on to him.
"I hope your mother is doing better than use, huh?" said Harry
"Yea, I hope" said Lila trying not to panic
Another shake began but this one was worst than first.
back with Isis
The terrible quake some how got Lila's mother Isis out of her trance and onto the floor.
"What is this? An earthquake?" said Isis as she got up from the floor and running to the door but stop to think first.
"Where's Harry and Lila. I better find them first before leaving the house!" thought Isis and left the room to search for the missing children.
Meanwhile
"Harry, I scared and I want this quake to stop, please make it stop" said Lila trying to hold back a scream and tears but fainted on Harry's chest's
"I don't how Lila, I just don't know?" Harry said fainting shortly after Lila
