They never felt they truly had a place in the world.
From the beginning, the people around them had taken it upon themselves to make every decision for them. They told Arden how to act, how to dress, and how to think. For the majority of their childhood, they were caught underneath their father’s thumb. No matter how much they fought, the thumb pressed down harder and it became a little bit harder to breathe. It seemed that Arden’s family wanted them to assume the identity that had been created for them, instead of creating their own. They had to be patient, had to be kind, and had to be balanced. They had to smile, because scowls were not attractive. They had to stand up straight, hold their head high, wear their hair out and listen to what they were told no matter what. Any time Arden did something that did not meet her family’s standards; they were made to suffer for it. Even when they performed to the best of their ability, they were screamed at and told they were worthless, a disappointment. They would be nothing without this family, and they were lucky to be pitied by them.
They were called a monster; a foul, evil being.
They would soon prove that the Riouxs were wrong.
Everyone was wrong.
