Chloe turned around and went inside the house that was apparently the place where her uncle and aunt lived. Shaine Brewster and Lanna Brewster were their name. Her uncle from father's side and aunt not only ignored her and let her fend for herself. But Shaine loved to peep at her while she was sleeping. Those plants were her only respite in this situation. They were her friends and companion until she met Callum.
Those days they spent together made her realise that she was more than a baggage in her Uncle's house. But he betrayed her and left her again in this desolate situation. She balled her fist and screamed out loud and feeling irritated by it Lanna ran out and slapped her hard. They never cared for her and always left her to her own devise but she was the best punching bag when they needed some respite from their anger.
Blood pooled in her mouth and slowly coated her lips. Chloe's small body trembled from aftershock. Lanna went inside completely ignoring the fact she hit a mere 6 yr old little girl so badly. Chloe went inside with shaky hands. She ate some fruits that were always available to her and went to sleep. Her room was a storage place with a small bed placed in between two big almirah and a small window covered by many plants as if they were keeping watch on her. She always thought she and Harry Potter had many things similar. Like cruel aunt and uncle, Callum was her Ron Weasly and small magic were their secret.
Callum always grumbled " I am Harry Potter not some dirty Ron Weasly, he always felt that was the most cowardly character of the book that they loved to read in his house". She often stayed with him and he unknowingly understood her home situation. She trembled as cold seeped in her bones. She mumbled names of people that she believed protected her one way or another " Dad, Mom, Callum, Sister Melinoe and Uncle Lucifer". Though last two didn't interact with her much, but they gave their hospitality which was biggest gift to her.
Uncle Lucifer even made her breakfast which she found most delicious as she always lived on fruits that she found with the help of her green friends. When sleep was about to claim her, the door knob twisted slowly and slow footsteps reached her. She felt her breath caught in her throat. Shaine slowly creeped near her ears and whispered " I just sent your aunt for weak long trip, why don't we play a little Baby girl".
