Ch 3

The next day after eating some breakfast, i got ready to visit my first neighbor. I was a little hesitant because for all i know this person could think I'm nuts. But if i was lucky they would understand that i was just trying to meet people.

I pulled up to the first house.

I looked in the rearview mirror, to make sure i didn't have anything stuck in my teeth. And got out the car. The house sure looked great from the outside.

As i was walking up to the house i heard some music. I guess whoever lived here was home.

I got in front of the door and was about to ring the doorbell when it swung open.

mystery guy---dude its about time, I've been waiting like forty minutes for......uhh hi. You're not the pizza guy

me---um no im not. Im Amethyst your new neighbor. (lord he was the most cutest guy i had ever seen)

mystery guy---oh I'm Aiden. Aiden Rose. (shakes my hand)

As i was shaking his hand i completely forgot why i had come there in the first place. This is going to sound corny but i was literally melting from his smile.

me---Hi Aiden. Nice to meet you.

Aiden---Sooo, where are you from?

me---Oh Im from....here...i was put up for adoption when i was younger and recently moved back to town.

Aiden---well its always great to meet new friends (theres that smile again). Here come on in.

Once i stepped inside i had a feeling that this was going to be one of my best days.

Ch. 2

Now that i was officially living here i figured i would go check out the sites. While I'm at it i might as well buy a car too. I don't mind a taxi but if I'm going to have children i need something readily available. I picked up my phone and called a dealership. I told them the car that i like and they said they would program it to come to my house.

 Cool.
Once the car arrived i headed out to the sites.

Went to the park. There i met a nice policeman.

 He welcomed me to the neighborhood and handed we a welcome packet. To my surprise it had all the residents names and addresses.

Me---Thankyou officer.

Officer---no problem ma'am. We here are a tight community. If you ever have any trouble or have any questions don't be afraid to ask.

Me---Thankyou


Then i drove by the hospital.

Once i got to the hospital i went in and dropped off all my medical files. I wanted to make sure everything was fine. I got some missing shots and was on my way out when some people stopped me. They were very nice, welcoming me to the neighborhood.

I think I'm in love with this place.

Saw a couple of food places. Once i saw those i stopped in for a bite.

Man i didn't realize how hungry i was. While i was eating i decided that i had done enough for today. Tomorrow would be another day after all, i don't need to do everything all at once.

Once i got home i decided to go through the directory. Tomorrow i would go and introduce myself to the first neighbor . I wonder who will answer the door......

Ch. 1

I woke up the next day and was in the shock of my life. I wasn't home. I had no idea where i was. My room looked the same but everything outside of my room was different.

I ran outside of the house and was surprised. This wasn't bridgeport. I had no clue where this was.

Serenity---you're finally awake. Its about time.

I scanned around but couldn't see her.

me---Serenity? where am i? where are you?

Serenity---dont worry where i am..as for you...welcome to Sugar Valley. Home of the berries. Your new home now as well

me--wha..but how?

Serenity---dont worry dear. Run along inside. Theres a table with a journal on it. Go ahead and take a look. Oh and Amethyst?

me---yes?

Serenity--- Please don't forget that you have a beautiful light inside of you. It just needs to come out. And it will in time. And if you ever need me don't be afraid to look for me. Ill be watching you.



I ran back inside and there was the table with the journal.
I pick it up

The Royal Family was engraved on the cover. I turned the page. In it was a note

My dearest daughter, Amethyst. Here is a journal that should have been of our families generations past. It should have been filled with all the wonderful children and family that has come across us by blood. Sadly though, if you are reading this then that did not happen and you are now the sole hier of this journal.  It is now up to you to keep track of the family until you see fit to pass it on to own of  your own children. Now don't get all flustered. It is not as time consuming as you think it can be. How will you know when to pass it on? Thats simple, once you have had your fifth child a glimmer of light will bestowed upon all of your children, then it will be time to choose the next hier and pass on the journal. When will it be complete? Once our generation has reached 20 that will be the end and the fifth child in that generation will be the full light that holds the royal family together. It will be the light at the end of the rainbow.


I stopped reading. 20 generations? How the heck am i suppose to live that long? I won't see my light..i almost started to cry but kept on reading.

Dear child don't you fret as to how will you reach that long. Us berries have a gift of long life. You see we age slower than your average human. As each generation is born, their light is passed on to the next and will glow even brighter. You'll see your rainbow sweetheart. You must know though to keep the magic that is within us you must marry a berry. I'm so sorry that your father and i couldn't be there so you grow up. Just know that we are always with you. Love mom and dad.


After that last sentence i cried. I couldn't help it. Could i really have a family? One that would eat together and play together? I guess time would tell. (sigh)

Prologue

I was born into a very wealthy family that didn't care for much for the term "family". They cared more about appearances, labels, and money then actually being a real family. So its no surprise that the day of my parents funeral i shed a tear for the wrong reasons. You see they had been out at one of their famous hour spots in bridgeport and instead of staying at a hotel, dad decided he was ok to drive home. Well i guess he was wrong. And here we are...

I mean what kind of person am i? A person that only thinks of herself at this time? I was alone. No one in the world. All they had left me was money, and the house we lived in, thats it. Pffft they should have realized that i never cared for it.
After some time i must have fallen asleep, because what had happened next had to have been a dream....

voice---whats wrong?


me---wha..ho...who are you? (she certainly isn't from around here, for some reason those colors call to me)


voice---me? well I'm your fairy godmother who will grant you three wi...(starts laughing)..im Serenity Spectrum. Nice to meet you.


me---thats great and all but i don't know you and you just showed up in my house. what do you want? i'll the cops if you don't start answering.


Serenity---geez your sooo touchy Amethyst you need to chill out. God what has the family done to you. (she takes a long closer look at me) Oh sweetie the light in your soul is fading. (she looks at me with her sad eyes)


me---what the heck are you talking about?

Serenity---(lets out a deep sigh) Amethyst what i am about to tell you is going to be a shock. Honey, you are not part of this family. You belong to a most prominent race of people called the Berries. When you were born your parents had an unfortunate accident. I took you from that world and brought you here. I explained to your "parents" that it was important that they explain to you where you come from, for one day i would come back and give you a choice if you wanted to come with me.


me---(i looked at her dumbfounded) i...i don't know what to say..i always knew something was different but this..this is a lot to take in.


Serenity---I know sweetie. Your real parents come from sugar valley. Its a most wonderful town filled with all different types of berries. You would love it there. But ultimately it would be up to you..your parents left behind a plot of land with a simple house already built on it. You made add on to it as you see fit. It is yours now. And with the money your "parents" from here left you, i don't see that as a problem.


me---I see, i need sometime to think about it. Umm, I'm assuming you don't have a cell phone so how can i contact you. (i turned around from the window and she was gone) serenity?


Serenity's voice--dont worry sweetie, ill know when you have made that decision.

As i lay back down on the bed i started to think about everything she told me. Could i really be happy in another town? How would people react to me. A new comer. A new comer with money. uggh..i don't want them to think i am a snobbish person. (sigh) i don't know..and my soul..with the light fading..would it shine? And how do i know if its shining?
