Chap.1

Rogue's Pov

I had a good life. My parents are alright. They weren't the best parents a child could have, but hey you got what you got. Well it's better than a orphanage. My real parents put me up fro adoption as soon as I was born. I wasn't supposed to be born, I was an accident at least that's what I was told. I stayed in the orphanage for several years until this nice looking couple came to adopt to a child. I was out in the backyard playing with one of my friends that I met there, when Miss. Bradley called us in. She explained to us that there were these people that would take one of us home to a family. I got really excited and followed Miss. Bradley in to a room. There stood two people sitting in chairs. "Mr. and Mrs. D'Ancanto?" They turned so they were facing us. "I would like to present to you the group of five year olds. I was so happy , I thought I might actually have a real home! But then my hope disappeared as I saw the way they looked at the other children. The man came over to me and I smiled, a really big smile. He bent down in front of me and seemed to examine me for a while. "Jessi" The man said. I assumed it was the lady. "come here." The woman came over and also bent down. "hello" she said. Her voice was sweet and she was pretty. "What's your name?"

"Marie." I answered cheerfully. "well she's defiantly not shy." Miss. Bradley laughed. "oh no, Marie has always been loud and cheerful always saying what was on her mind." The man and woman nodded. They stood up and walked over to a corner to talk. After they were done talking, they went over to miss. Bradley and told her something. She smiled. "come on kids, let's go to the playroom." I was confused but I went to the lay room with all the other kids. I sat in a corner and playes quitley with my toys. Miss Bradley came in to the room and walked over to me, she knelt down beside me and put her hand on my knee. "Marie," she said softly. I looked up at her. "You're going home."

I remember that day perfectly, even though it was eight years ago, because it was the happiest day of my life. After being in the orphanage for five years you want to get out of there. But I'll always remember Miss. Bradley and my friend Lily. Lily moved right next door to me 3 years ago. I remembered her and she remembered me and we became best friends again. But only three years of living here she moved away to California, because her dad got a new job there and plus, most of her family lived there.

And now I was patiently awaiting the arrival of the new owners of the house. My dad told me that they had a 13 year old boy. I couldn't wait to meet him, I wanted a friend so badly. Of course no one could ever take Lily's place but I hope we could be good friends. Suddenly a car pulled into the driveway I got up from my position from the windows. "Mom! Dad! The new neighbors are here." I yelled was I ran out onto the front patio. A man got out of the drivers seat of the car And looked at his house. A woman got out of the passengers side of the car and also looked at the house. I saw the rear door open and I became excited, when the boy stepped out my breath got caught in my chest. He had short reddish-brownish hair and he wore sunglasses. He was tall and had a medium build. He didn't seem to happy to be here. He probably had a girl-friend who he had to leave. He turned his head to look at his surroundings and stopped when he looked in my direction. I looked behind me and saw nothing was there, and I realized he was looking at me. He turned his head back straight and went over to the man, he told him something and the man nodded. He turned back to me and started walking towards me. I didn't know what to do, so I just stood there followitn him with my eyes until her came up to the bottom of my porch and was looking up at me. " 'ello" he said, his French accent ringing in my ears. "hello." I squeaked. He smiled. "my name be Remy." I was silent for a moment then said, "mah name be, ah mean is marie."

"y' makin' fun o' Remy, chere?" I smiled hesitantly. "no, ah was just.." He put his hand up to stop me. "don't…Remy understands." I smiled at him and he smiled back at me.

"Remy!" a Woman's voice called. "dat be Remy's mother." He stood up on his tippy toes, took my hand and kissed it. I was totally speechless. "Remy be seein' you, chere." And he ran off to his mother. "Marie be seeing you too."
