Just a game

Lyle burst into the hallway calling to Richelle, "Let's do something."

"Go do something with Reynard," She told him.

"No, he's not that much fun, and Arceneaux is talking to the football coach at school."

"Don't you mean soccer?"

"No. I mean American football. He was playing it with some of the other guys during his gym class, and they thought that he should be on the team."

Richelle looked at Lyle who was now at her bedroom door.

"What do you want to do then?"

He pondered for a while, and then said, "Let's do the game that we use to play back home. Mom and Dad won't mind. There's the forest that's not too far from the house."

Richelle didn't know if she should. That game always got a little bit hard. Especially when she was younger and didn't know she had powers.

"fine."

"See you outside," Lyle rushed down the stairs. Richelle followed him slowly. She hoped she was good enough to beat him.

Before she left the house, Reynard looked at her with confusion.

"I'm going outside," she told him. He didn't give a response. He just looked at her.

The back yard was much bigger than the one they had back in Paris. There was also a forest that wasn't too far from their house. It was only a walk away. It was the perfect place to play their game.

*The game was more of a training device than anything else. Richelle walked through the forest and began using her power. She could feel the air pressure around her. When she felt a change, she made her move. She knew Lyle would just mimic her attack, but still won't use what she could do.

In a split second, she pinned Lyle to a tree with ice.

"No fair…" he exclaimed. There was something in his voice that didn't sound like she could trust.

"It's not my fault that someone wanted to play."

"But you still didn't follow the rules!"

"As long as we've been doing this, there really wasn't any rules," Richelle objected.

"Yea, well, you didn't have any powers." The ice melted away. Richelle looked at Lyle with frustration. She did have powers.

"Now you have my power, can we go on?"

"OK."

Richelle found herself standing in a pool of mud. When she tried to move the mud hardened around her feet.

"What the….You tricked me!"

Lyle only smiled. "I don't have to be attacked to mimic someone's power. I've had your power for a long time. He was about to do something when he was knocked to the ground.

"Let her go!" Reynard hissed holding Lyle to the ground.

"What? Our baby sister can't defend herself? She needs you and Arce to defend her?"

"LET HER GO!"

The ground became loose again and Richelle stepped out. Rey nard let Lyle go and led Richelle back to the house.

"If he wasn't my brother…" Reynard mumbled.

"What are you talking about?" Richelle asked.

"You wouldn't understand."

"I would if you-" Richelle flinched. Something really fast passed near them.

"Is he back?"

"No…It's not him"

"What was it?"

"I don't know. It was there and then gone…"

Reynard looked at her worried and suggested, "Let's just get inside the house"

A/N: I know what you're probably thinking; you know where this is going…kinda…if you have any suggestions for later things, don't hesitate to suggest(or maybe hesitate a little)

For those who are keeping track,

Richelle: controls the elements (natural not manmade)

Reynard: controls anything that has to do with the weather (Hence the light bulb explosion…electricity)

Lyle: mimics things

Don't worry Arceneaux will come up later(not next chapter maybe the one after that…who knows?)

*the game is…think of newborns in the woods…not to that extreme though (I hope you understand what I'm talking about I know one person will)
