"Children, I cannot take care of you... I am very sick right now and need to wait for the medicine... I am sending you to your Uncle Avenant, he lives outside of Paris. I hope the three of you will be safe, write me any chance you get, Braxton, you will be in charge of being a father figure to your siblings, Angelina, I hope you grow up to be a proper young lady, and as for you Charles, my youngest born, I hope you find happiness. Miss you all very much already, your mother,

Madame Felicity Forte."

The three Forte siblings were in a horse-drawn carriage, taking them away from their ailing mother. She was getting so seriously sick and she wasn't even sure if she had any time left, so she sent her children away to be taken care of by a family friend. Young Charles stared out the window as he heard the clopping of the horse's tracks and he had been depressed all his life. His own father left after his birth, his siblings bullied him mercislessly just for being born, the only one who loved and cared about him was far, far away.

The boy brushed his spidery fingers across his raven hair that was tied back with a ribbon as he looked at the endless trails of their next journey in life until their mother would hopefully get better from her life threatening disease. Charles sometimes felt like he couldn't belong anywhere. His mother was alone and too poor to send them to school and give them the best treasures she could, but only her warmth and comfort with genuine love and affection for her three children.

"I just hope Uncle Avenant will still accept us," Angelina drawled in a near snooty accent as she fanned herself like all classy women of her time would. "Even though Charles was on this trip with us."

"Why couldn't it had been you that got sick?" Braxton sneered at his younger brother. "We would have been having treats with mother right now, if you hadn't been born!"

Charles blinked, feeling very hurt. "I'm pretty sure it is not my fault that Maman is sick... You know how unhealthy she has been lately."

"It is your fault though that Papa left us!" Angelina cut in, her voice like daggers to the young boy.

Charles gulped and hung his head, slowly shutting his eyes. He had been told that for as long as he could remember. Vincent Forte had been away at war for a long time and when he came back, their mother was pregnant yet again. By the time the child was born, Vincent was rumored to be so disgusted with Charles that he abandoned the family. Braxton and Angelina of course bullied Charles into thinking it was clearly his fault. If he hadn't been born, their mother might not have gotten ill and their father might not have just walked out on the family. At least Madame Forte was still very kind and caring towards her youngest child, despite what his elder siblings would torment him with. Charles just hoped his temporary guardian would give warm welcoming arms to him as well and not only his older siblings.
