Chapter 1
Arrival
A body was sinking into the waves. The water was cold but not ice cold, however the icy water was filtering into the normal water, reducing its temperature further. The body rose to the surface as the water withdrew to form another 30ft wave, and slipped under the stirring surface as the liquid covered the white and slightly small body. The thunder boomed across the large and empty ocean. As the thunder rumbled across the dark sky, a new mind joined the world.
The mind belonged to a woman, she was fighting to stay alive in the brutal ocean. Mother nature was distressed. However she was more concerned with keeping her head above the water. She swam west following the moons direction. Waves were crashing down on her and she was exhausted trying to fight the waves. Up and down, left and right. It wasn't easy to keep her head above the water. She was so tired, so exhausted.
Birds squawked overhead. Everything was so quiet and clam after last night. As he walked the sand was very soft. There were several pieces of wood that had washed up on to the shore. He had already counted two broken palm trees, and several planks of wood. The sun was hot and its radiance was strong. The light sometimes was blinding, but it was a reminder that some things never change.
As the man walked across the beach he contemplated his life. As he was coming to a conclusion he glimpsed a foot. He ran towards it. There he found a leg and the rest of the body. A women.
Her boat or plane must of crashed during the storm last night
he thought.He picked up her limp body from the sand and carried her towards the pool where some of his brothers were playing in the pool. The woman was unconscious, but her breathing was steady.
As he was nearing his brother's he called out to them for help. They rushed over to help him.
"Oh god," Virgil exclaimed as he saw what Scott carried.
"I found her on the beach over by the small cavern" Scott said. John helped both of them to the infirmary.
"What's going on here" Jeff asked. He looked on the bed and paused.
Brains came in and said "she is fine, however she has swallowed a great deal of sea water."
"Can you tell how long she will be out," "we don't want her waking up while you lot are out." Jeff asked
"Between 2 to 48 hours," Brains replied.
Scott looked at this strange woman, she held so many questions.
