"And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues
You know feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee"
Everyone loves a free spirit. At least, everyone but two strict, proper British parents trying to raise one. Abbi Westfield and her twin brother Preston never quite fit in in their exclusive little slice of London city life. When they were little and easily managed, it was one thing. But as soon as they grew and developed their own personalities, life in the perfect Westfield home was anything but. The only thing that Abbi excelled at that pleased her parents were piano and singing lessons…until she was old enough to discover Janis Joplin.
Abbi was around seven when she had her first vision. She touched her brother’s shirt and told him he was going to spill juice on it at tea, and mummy was going to be very angry. Preston of course laughed it off..until it happened. Angry that is sister was trying to get her into trouble, the little boy told his parents about Abbi’s vision, who in turn told her to ‘stop her silly nonsense and be a lady’.
As Abbi grew, so did her powers. Now if she touched an object, she could tell where it had been, where it was going, nearly anything. Her precious twin, having long forgiven her for the tea incident, was the only person that she could turn to for support. A barefoot daughter with a power as unmanageable as her hair was simply not welcome in the Westfield home. Abbi tried her best through school, but her visions became harder to contain as she and they grew. Music became her only solace, and the girl would lock herself in her room for hours, listening to and eventually writing her own music. As these lyrics were dark and occasionally made references to the voices and visions in her head, she was careful to hide them from the prying eyes of her parents. When her mother did find them one day and confronted Abbi, the terrified girl went off in such a way, finally giving in to the breakdown that had been such a long time coming.
The massive fight ended with Abbi finally making good on her many previous threats to leave home. Finding that to be a good idea, and likely glad to be rid of their problem daughter, the Westfields gave her the money she would need to start a new life. American, specifically Saintes, seemed to be the perfect place to settle down. A place where maybe she would be able to find others like her and learn more about her powers. Or maybe, at least, a place that would finally accept her.
