Chapter 5: Between two worlds
"I think she's ready to find out. Sophia! I said you to come!"
"I'm coming, dad, you don't have to shou...Isac, Leah, what are you doing here?
Yeah...ordinary people in our house? They have to be important. So...my real parents just came here and I don't know why. I'm so angry with them but I want to know why did they do this.
"Sophia, you are so beautiful! We dreamed about this moment so long!"
"How dare you after you did to me so much harm? You've been delayed for like two years! Let me alone."
"Wait. We owe you some explanations. Sweetie, you are among the richest people in the world! We couldn't give you this."
"I don't care about richness! Well, I like having a kitchen inside my wardrobe, but no! What I'm saying? I want to go home... It's not that place in my heart, is my heart in that place. But why am I talking to you? It seems like you didn't want me."
"That's not true...Well, not really. Sweetie, me and Isac aren't your real parents."
"Okay. So I give up! Mom, do you know that movie in which a group of dancing dinosaurs possessed the football team in the evening of the match and they stopped the game starting to dance Salsa with the viewers?"
"Yes..."
"Well, it made more sense. But...then who are my parents?"
They glanced at Vincent and Margaret and I froze.
"Are you serious?"
"No, I'm Leah. But I love you as much as they do."
"I no longer understand anything."
"Sweetie, your parents got along with us to keep you since you was two years old. When you had seventeen we had to give you back."
"I still can't understand! Why are you doing this to me? Am I looking like a loan book or something? Whatever, why didn't you tell me? Why did you run away in that night and why didn't Vincent and Margaret want me?"
"You're so wrong, Sophia! We really wanted you, but when you was two...the situation was very complicated. We haven't always lived here. Actually, our clan drove us away wrongfully and we had to run with you. We found these two nice people who got us in their house for a week. They said us how much they wanted a baby and...you were in danger, Maybe you can't remember that, but it's true."
"Why seventeen years? Why didn't you take me faster? No because I wanted it..."
"We hadn't even a place to leave, but after ten years we could go back. We could take you five years ago, but Leah and Isac weren't prepared for this."
What have I just heard? Must I be furious or happy? I have four parents and in the same time, no one. Isac and Leah run away because they couldn't explain to me what is happening?
"You are right to be furious, Sophia! We can't explain everything to you."
"What have I to do now? Any hope of getting home is ruined."
"This is your home. Look, I know that you are confused, but you will understand. I hope that running is out of your head now."
"Can I go back with my parents? I mean, those who actually grew me up."
"Sophia! Even we were stupid to let you, you are not allowed to leave the castle, have you forget?"
I need to stay alone and think, but I don't know what to think about. A million thoughts are going through my mind. Do you know what? Maybe they all know what they say. I am like living in a real castle, on a tropical island! I'm always on vacation! Vincent and Margaret are my parents and here I can have a lot of friends. Other people can't even wish to have what I have...
Maybe Leah and Isac want me back, but they don't dare to say this...If I really want to go, I'll get it, but...do I really want it? I give up to many things and...what if I go home and everything is different? Also...after two months and a few days I am supposed to get married and I know one thing: I won't let that happen. But what if I do? Maybe I'll find the occasion to visit my old home and to see Emma and my other friends. They can come to my house since I'll have my own. I have to forget about Ben?...Cupid, we really need to talk something.
I hope you enjoy it!
