Hello,

well this is my first ff-story here, so I'm still trying to figure out how this works. On the other side I use there are not really people reading my interests (except YOI, there are tons of YOI fics), so I moved here.

Just to warn you, English is not my native language.

Chapter 1 - The new start

One should not judge a book by it's cover. The same goes for a person. Sometimes the personality of a person doesn't show what they went through.

The happiest person can have the worst past. You won't know unless they tell you but it's most likely they won't.

Chelsea's P.O.V

I had awoken pretty early around 4am. I tried but I just couldn't fall back asleep again. Which meant I had to lie in bed and watch the ceiling until my alarm clock rings and I need to get up and pack the rest of my things. It were only a few things. Ok actually everything I wanted to take with me. Clothes and money. I don't need more than that.

My ship leaves at 12am which means I have plenty of time.

My alarm clock rang at 7.30. I hushed it and stood up. I put on some clothes and get my suitcase out. I just shove all of my clothes in which by the way were 5 pair of everything and it was always the exact same. I have never been a fan of changes that also included my clothes but now it's time for a change.

I left my apartment around half past eight so that I would still be able to bring the keys to my landlord.

The bus I took to the harbour left at 9.30. It was punctual. We arrived at 9.46. Well we only being the bus driver and I.

As I arrived at the docs the ship was already there. We were already aloud to enter the ship. While walking to my cabin I didn't see a person.

I sat on the bed until the ship started moving. The way to the deck was empty again. It was quite stormy on the deck.

Around 3pm it was getting darker. The sky was a dark shade of grey with dark, heavy clouds. It looked like it was going to rain buckets. Concluding that I didn't want to get drenched I went back in my room and quickly fell asleep.

Loud noises woke me up. "Yikes. What's that noise? Where's the light?" The light wouldn't turn on and outside was a heavy storm. "Oh my goodness! It's a storm!" I was able to hear some panicked voices from the captain and a sailor. The ship rocked hard and I fell and hit my head somewhere. Everything was suddenly quite and dark.

"H...H...Hey, are you all right?" I opened my eyes after I came to my senses. An old man was standing in front of me. I nodded as he asked me again if I was OK. "Everyone's OK. No one's hurt. We all survived. The ship crashed and probably sank. Let me introduce you to the others." He said his name was Taro and he introduced me to the others apparently his familie. They were all really friendly. We decided that we would stay on this island, which by the way is called "The Island of Happiness" not a really fitting name if you'd asked me. The buildings are all quite broken. Everywhere is weed, sticks and stones. I took over a pretty run down farm. The fields were a mess. But we were able to fix the houses we live in.

For the rest of the day I talked to Taro and his familie and freed the island from the weed, sticks and stones. I went to sleep around 10pm.

The next morning someone knocked on my door, waking me from my dream which seemed to be not a nice one but I wasn't able to remember it.

I quickly put on my clothes and answered the door.

Taro was standing there. He wants to teach me how to use tools and how to plant seasonal veggies.

I planted gras to beginn with for the rest of the day after talking to taro and his familie.

I went quite beaten to bed around the same time as yesterday.

The days continued and some more people came to our little island. The builder Gannon offered that he could upgrade my house and build stable and things like that if I payed him and gave him lumber. He was the only grumpy one that appeared here but like everyone else he is a nice person he just doesn't show it openly.

Today is my 13th day on this island and in the morning someone had knocked on my door. I opened the door and were met with amithyst like eyes and silver hair.

"I'm Vaughn. I'm the new animal trader. Nice to meet you. Bye." With that he left. I stand there dumbfounded. Man that was rude. He should have at least let me speak. I growld as I shut the door and start to make myself breakfast. After some porridge I go to my field. I have more than enough grass for animals and to ship some. So this is our new animal trader Vaughn? I had already decided to get some livestock. Seems like I have no choice but to meet him again.

I went down to Mirabelles shop. I bought a cow and two chicken to beginn with. Vaughn in the background mumbled something about me probable not being able to hold animals. "Vaughn would you be so kind to show Chelsea the animals and help her bring the cow and the chicken to her farm?" The way Mirabelle said this it sounded more like an order than a question.

Vaughn scowling obeyed. The walk was to say the least awkward. Not that I had any intentions of talking to such a rude guy.

Back at the door of my farmhouse we stood there looking at each other. It was awkward to just stand around like this so I said goodbye to him and awkwardly closed the door behind me. Man I'm beaten. What a day. This was just awkward. Hope I don't have to meet him again for a while. With these thoughts on my mind I fell asleep.
