Here it is, a (hopefully) improved version of my crummy story... I hope you all enjoy it !
It was beautiful day, the sky was clear the sun was out and the temperature was perfect. The beach was no doubt perfect also.
My brother and I waited on the jetty to board a yacht taking us on a day cruise for our birthday. The wind violently blew my copper hair around my face. "For goodness sake, Jazz, please put your hair up you ranga!" he said, frustrated. "Hey! You're a ranga too Jace, we are twins fool! And how is my hair in your face, the wind is blowing in the other way." I argued.
"Okay, maybe it is my hair. I need a hair cut" he admitted, pulling strands of his chin length, curly copper hair, I just grinned. Me and Jace are twins, we are also best friends, inseparable, we know know each other more than we know our selves.
"Oi J-twins!" someone yelled, I looked to where the voice was coming from, it was my best friend, Sam. I waved as she ran up to us. "Ohmygosh J-twins! Happy birthday you two!" She squealed, pulling us into a hug. I should say now, everyone at school calls us J-twins because of our names, Jazmine and Jace, we are well know because we are the only redheads at school. "How did you get here? We are in California, you were in Brooklyn, weren't you?" I asked awed. She grinned. "Surprise!" I grinned and hugged her. Jace had just wondered off to his best friend who also arrived unknowingly.
"Jazz!" my older sister, Tyla called "Time to board!" Sam grabbed my arm and dragged me aboard.
20 minutes after the boat had set off, the scene started to change, ocean surrounded us and the land begun to fade the blue sky still surrounded us and the waves were smooth but rocky. I loved the ocean and all the peculiar things it contains. But I saw something even more peculiar, It looked like a squid thing, trailing us. I shook it off knowing it was just my crazy imagination.
As I leant on the side railing scanning the water, a voice sounded beside me "Beautiful, isn't it?" it was Daniel, Jace's best friend. "Yeah it's, lovely." I replied
"Are you gonna go in the water? It's awesome." he asked me shaking his light brown hair ridding it of the dripping water, did I mention that Daniel has a huge crush on me? Yeah probably not.
"I might do soon" I replied, shortly before closing our conversation.
At the back of the boat, there was a net that you could sit in that sat in the water, it's is really awesome.
My phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a message from my cousin, Nate. 'Happy birthday, j-twins!' it read obviously addressed to both, me and Jace.
Nate lives with me and Jace, Tyla and Mum, he has for years, but he couldn't come today because of a study camp or something.
"Hey, little sis! Come in the water it's lovely" Jace yelled. I hated it when he called me 'little sis' he is like 10 minutes older than me and a lot taller than me (it really isn't hard, I am only 5"2). Big whoop...
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming in" I called back.
My bluey-silver and green eyes scanned the ocean one last time before I headed over to Jace taking my clothes revealing my black bikinis that set of my copper hair and brought out my interesting eyes. My eyes are the same a Jace's,a bluey- silver around the pupil going out and turning into a sea greeny blue colour. My dear friend Sam insisted on buying me these for my birthday a week ago.
I walked over a sat in next to my aunt. Andrea. She was my Mum's half sister, they had a different mum, same dad, it was the same with, Randy, Sofia and Harrison. My mum was the youngest.
I never met my Grandma and my Dad. Mum says the Grandma was a hunter and got hit by a stray bullet on a hunting expedition. She was brain dead and they had no choice but to pull the plug. My Dad on the other hand, he was a marine biologist he traveled around a lot , he was always called on a business trip, he was offered a job in another place far from here (mum never said where) and took it. He insisted that Mum moved with him with Tyla when she found out she was pregnant with me and Jace, but she declined and stayed in a rural area outside of New York with her family. We always go to that place on the summer holidays.
The water was perfect, just like Daniel had said. I put my waist long hair in a messy bun and lent back against a bar holding the net.
"Also, dear brother I am not your 'little sis' we are the same age for goodness sake." I said, smartly.
"Yes, but I am 10 minutes older. Sooo I win" he countered back at me, grinning. I rolled my eyes and chilled out.
The day was pretty normal. Mum called lunch at about 2pm (late I know) and all 9 of us flocked to the table where mum set out a sandwiches, salads, sausages you name it, it was there.
We all collected our food and sat on the chairs. Me and Jace at together at the head, Sam, was to my left, Daniel was to Jace's right and so on.
"Look at them" my Mum said, "My babies are all grown up 16 this year. It seems like only yesterday that you, Jace, were crawling around and pulling my plants over just to play with the dirt, and you, Jazzie were eating anything and everything, you still are." she continued her speech with all sorts of things regarding mine and Jace's childhood, before everyone dug in and ate the divine food in front of us.
Everyone sat around lunch and chatted about until later in the afternoon about 4, when we were having the cake Mum brought along, chocolate mud cake, when it was brought out my mouth started watering, literally. (Jace had to wipe my chin). The flames were dancing on this beautiful cake, it was amazing.
Then, the small crowd began to sing.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Jace and
Jazmine,
Happy birthday to you.
Me and Jace looked to each other and grasped hands and blew the candles out together. Everyone applauded.
After eating cake, we walked over to Mum and hugged her. "Thanks Mum we love you " we said together. "I love you too both so much don't ever think otherwise" she said hugging us back.
As if on cue a thunderous clap sounded and our boat capsized as monstrous tentacles smashed and rocked the boat and a boy I had never seen before stab the beastly thing. I am crazy!
I heard everyone scream and saw people scrambling around.
A large piece of plank of wood hit me in the head. My vision got fuzzy, black surrounded my vision the last thing I saw was a shock of red hair swim to me and lift me on something while holding something shiny, then darkness completely covered my vision, handing me to the beautiful, unconscious, world free from the horrible reality that was, my life.
I clearly thought that day was and always will be the worst thing that happened to me, little did I know that it was only gonna get worse.
I am Jazmine Lewis, and this is my story.
There we go.. the prologue. I hope you Lovvvvveeed it!
