CHARLOTTE: The Injured White Peacock
Hallucinations

“Novel shit! Though this is only a novel, but why does my heart hurt so much?!”

Hixes.

Hixes.

Hixes.

“Miko, this novel is too depressing,” the cry of a girl. Her name is Ellena Smith. German girls who are currently doing high school studies at an international school in the UK. Oh come on, he just cried over a novel belonging to his friend, Miko Yamada who came from Japan. Ellena actually lives an ancient novel she borrowed from Miko.

“You're too whiny, Ellie.” Miko pinched the soft cheek of Ellena whom she called Ellie as her familiar greeting to the friend. “I've read this many times but it's normal tuh.”

“Miko, you don't know the value of an art!” Ellena crossed her hands in front of her chest. His eyes were still wet, his nose looked red. He really enjoyed a literary work brought by Miko.

The two girls are now relaxing in the school garden after the lesson ends as a routine before returning to the dorm. While enjoying the sunset, the two also enjoyed the rest of the meal earlier this afternoon while reading an ancient novel called ‘Charlotte’.

The book was quite thick with a gold or gold cover, very sparkling and tempting. It had been a week that Ellena had been busy reading the ancient book that Miko had found from her home warehouse and today, Ellena finally finished emotionally.

Scrub of twilight looks beautifully decorate the sky that looks reachable, but in fact it is not. The air so gently hits the skin. Some people walked out of the gate guarded by guards dressed like palace guards. All day they stood by the gate, welcoming those who entered and came home.

This international school also has a palace building with detailed ornaments that have aesthetic value. Golden ornaments even every wall has a high artistic value. Not only that, large fish ponds, artificial lakes, even green parks were also provided, making the students like elite students who were studying in the royal academy.

“I know, Ellie. But you cry in every chapter. Though sometimes the Queen is also happy with the man.” Miko defended herself because she was previously thought to not know the value of a literary work.

“That's crying haru, know!” Ellena pouted. “Ah, this is just sad! Although it's just a novel, I feel like helping the Queen to heal from her heartache.” Ellena's shadow begins to lead to her own artificial imagination that brings her to meet the Queen in the novel.

Pawning.

One jolt landed on Ellena's forehead. The girl roared in pain. As soon as the shadow of Ellena's imagination runs out, it goes away with the pain of Miko's super-powerful flick.

“Are you stupid? There's no way a normal girl like you would save the Queen. The people are ignored, especially you who are only a figurehead?” Miko chuckles. He was very happy to tease his best friend, does not mean that the sentence was to mock Ellena. Not at all, it was just that Ellena's pouting face made her so opiate.

“It's okay! I can definitely melt the Queen's heart!” Ellena is determined. His blackish blue eyes stared confidently at the overcast. His right hand was also clenched firmly. He instilled a great determination in him.

While Miko continued to laugh until she was spinning. Girls as innocent as Ellena can-can very much live a novel content. So adorable. “You think the Queen's heart is like cheese or chocolate that can melt? It's really you, Ellie. Hahaha.” Miko was unceasingly excited, even hitting Ellena's shoulder slowly many times.

Ellena was just resigned. He did understand that he was exposed to the pestilence virus that makes Miko constantly mocking him, because it is also impossible, right?

“But Miko,” said Ellie trying to catch Miko's attention again. “If you had the strength to head to the world of Queen Charlotte, what would you do?” Now, Ellena's attitude becomes alien. His head lowered deeply, his gaze becoming blank.

Seeing that, Miko momentarily fell silent. She felt that Ellena was suddenly acting strangely. Has Miko been teasing the innocent girl too much?

Miko breathed. At the moment, Ellena wants to be serious. Then, he stared at the beautiful earth above with a twilight decoration. Before expressing her answer, Miko smiled and tried to imagine that she was indeed as Ellena said.

Miko recalled, the first time Ellena came to England, the girl did not interact with anyone at all. Ellena just locked herself in her room and walked out if necessary. Until in the end, Miko really made Ellena back into herself and met a lot of people.

The reason Ellena didn't come out was because she couldn't speak English. Since childhood, Ellena has only spoken German. Ellena was born to an ordinary family, lucky she was smart so she was able to get a scholarship but she was not fully ready to live in the country of people.

They ended up being together and deep in the language of the people there until finally Ellena became a cheerful girl as she should be. Yeah, communication. That's why Ellena is unable to blend in with others because she is unable to express what is in her brain and she cannot understand others who are talking to her.

The two Ellena netra increasingly sparkled to hear Miko's determination and hallucinated with her. All this time, Ellena did admire Miko for her cleverness and wisdom.

However, a moment later, Ellena laughed. Now he intends to repay Miko. “You also hallucinated, Miko? Oh my God, my best friend is completely consumed by his own nonsense. It's just a novel, Miko. Hahaha.”

Treated so, Miko's face flushed. He doesn't realize that Ellena is just working on it. The Japanese girl finally got up. Several times he flicked his skirt.

“I want to go home,” he said while holding back embarrassment.

Pffts.

Ellena kept laughing. Then he got up and cleaned his clothes. “I'm sorry, Miko. I was just kidding. It turns out to be raving on people as well. I'm starting to know why you've been cheating on me.” Ellena smiled proudly because she already knew Miko's motives were constantly working on her.

“Yes, yes, alright. It's afternoon. Let's go home,” take Miko later. He pulls Ellena by the hand, taking her to the dormitory where they live as part of the scholarship students.

“Oke.” Ellena according.

Both go hand in hand. Miko's mind was still reflected by Ellena's question earlier. “Go to the world of Queen Charlotte, huh? Is there anything like that? If you can, then Ellie is the one who deserves the mission. She is a brave girl, not like me.”

“Miko?” ellena asked when she saw her best friend who seemed to think about many things. “Hey, what are you thinking?”

There's no answer. However, a few steps later, Miko suddenly stopped, leaving Ellena confused.

“What happened, Miko? Are you okay?”

Chief Miko bowed for a moment. “Ellie.”

“Hm?”

“Go there and save Queen Charlotte!” miko shouted suddenly while holding Ellena's hands, making her best friend was stunned. Before long, a light appeared from the novel. The light formed a portal. Ellena. The wind was so stormy, the surroundings looked chaotic.

“Miko, what happened?! What are you possessed of? And where am I going?!” panic Ellena. Slowly, the blinding white light brought him lost to nowhere. “Miko, help me!” Ellena continued to scream as her body was pulled away by a mysterious light that had superhuman strength. Ellena's hand tries to reach Miko, but it doesn't arrive. Ellena repeatedly calls Miko, but the Japanese girl just smiles off her best friend's departure.

“Go, and save him for me, Ellie.”
