Summary: mostly what's the sumary before you read, but it has occs. there are some things that have changed since i've actually written the stories, so i'm updating all the chapters (even though that i didn't change anything in them). Forks became Chicago, Forks High became another name that i can't remember, and many of the things have changed for later chapters.
Prologue:
Richelle looked up at the bright sky, her face wet from the rain shower that had just passed. Her cousins played in the mud that had accumulated in the yard. She only wished to go and play with them too, but no matter how much she tried, she would never have a chance to play with them.
They knew of a secret that she kept away from everyone else in their homeland, and they didn't want to risk her using her secret to her advantage. It made her life hard.
Richelle got up and began to walk home. Her cousins paused a moment to see what she was doing and played on with their little mud war. She was too old to be playing with them, but she had never had the chance to actually play with children her age.
The superstition that drifted among her immediate family members kept the people away. They didn't want anything to do with their family.
Richelle opened the door to see her father, mother and brothers talking at the table. She decided to join them and sat in her seat.
Her father looked at her, "Richelle, we are going to be moving,"
"Where?" Richelle asked,
"We are going to America," her brother, Lyle, answered.
She looked at Arceneaux. He only nodded.
"Father's been saving up for this for a long time," Reynard mumbled.
"Come on Re-Re, we all know you want to go too," Lyle exclaimed. "Arce won't show it, but he'll go too. I bet Richie, would like it."
Arceneaux cringed at the sound of his nickname from Lyle. He never did like it.
"What do you think Richelle?" her father asked."Your uncle Michael said he would help fund our move."
Richelle thought for a moment. Uncle Michael had lived in the U.S. for years. She had hear so many stories of the states when he came back to France for visits. She nodded, "I would like to go too."
Richelle-Artistic, strong
Lyle-Unique
Reynard-brilliant
Arceneaux-Friendly, heavenly
