Chapter 1:

Alexandra Gilmore was your normal 13 year old girl, living with her parents in a small town in Alaska. Her father, Todd Gilmore, was the small town's only lawyer resident, and her mother, Claudia, worked alongside with Todd at work as his receptionist. Alex knew both of her father's parents, her grandparents from his side were already decreased even before she was born, and so was her grandmother from her mother's side. Claudia's father, Alex's grandfather, was still around.

Alex never meet her grandfather, even though he's still around. It seemed that her mother and him had a fight that had to do with her marrying her father for some reason. That fight must be so huge, for her grandfather and mother not taking to each other for the last 14 years. Alex only wish she could meet him and see how he was like. Her mother always told her little sniplets about her father once in a blue moon, but it always made Alex more happy and excited to hear about her grandfather.

What She didn't know that she'll get her chance to meet him sooner then she expects it, even if she liked it or not...

The story really begins when Alex and her parents were on vacation on a cruise ship heading towards the islands of Hawaii. It was their first day out to sea. Dark storm clouds covered the ocean as the ship continued headed towards it destination. The wind was horrible for people to go outside on deck. Then rain started pouring down hard and fast while lightning was seen in the sky.

"Those are really dark clouds, should we be worried?" asked Todd as he and his family gathered together on the main deck to watch the storm.

"I seen worser." said the cruise director, Wilford James. As he watched though the glass doors with the other passengers.

"Let's go back to our cabin and forget about this storm." said Claudia as she turned her back to the glass doors and started towards the elevator.

"She's right, Dad" said Alex as she stared up at her father. Todd agreed and both of them catched up with Claudia.

After an hour relaxing in their cabin, they heard a horn going off. Todd quickly awaken up fast from his nap, Claudia quickly came out of the bathroom in her two piece pajama.

"What's going on, Todd?" she asked looking confused.

"I don't know dear, but i going to find out." he said.

Todd got up and went and opened their cabin door. Alex noticed her father, and she took off her headphones and closed her laptop. She got up and went out the room with her father.

Wilard James suddenly appeared with a bowhorn in his right hand. Then he brought it up to his lips.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, The weather was gotten worser then expected, to be sure of your safety please put on your lifejackets, the Captain has just learned that a strong warning of a tidel wave builting up near us will hit us in the matter of a few mintues. All women and children are to report to their assigned life boats." he said before repeated himself again.

Todd looked very afraid now. he quickly went back inside his cabin. He pulled out the drawer that was built in under Alex's bed. He grabbed the life jackets and handed one to his daughter and then his wife.

"Put these on quick." he said as he quickly put on his. Then quickly he and his family quickly went up to the deck and went to their assigned life boat.

Before the Gilmore Family could do anything, their mouths dropped as they saw the biggest tidel wave they have ever seen was heading their way. Both Claudia and Todd knew what they had to do. They put their only daughter, their only child into the lifeboats with a few other children.

"Mom..Dad" she was only able to say as tears were coming down her checks very fast.

"We love you so much, Alex, we're always be with you." her father said before Claudia hugged her daughter one more time.

"If you surive this, tell your grandfather for me that I'm so sorry for everything" she said with tears coming down her checks.

A few crewmen started lowing the lifeboats down to the rough waters. Alex looked up and took her last look of her parents before the crewman of the lifeboats started the motor and zoomed away from the doomed liner. Before the lifeboat got out from sight, Alex quickly turned around and took a look at the crusieliner as the huge tidel wave hit the ship. Alex screamed for her parents. The huge tidel wave created an other tidel wave (smaller then the huge wave but yet effective) from the effects and it hited the lifeboats. It tipped the lifeboat over, flipping everybody in it into the rough cold waters.

Some of the crewmen tried their hardest to hang on to the chidren but the rough waters was fighting against them. They were able to save each child excpet for Alex. The rough waters quickly carried Alex far from the tipped lifeboat. Then with rough force, Alex was slammed against a rock.The last thing before losing consiouses was the screaming of her name then everything went black.
