Note from the author: This is a mixture of Lost/Twilight in a sense. I have some created characters and then the Twilight characters. I will randomly switch from one character to another so do not expect me to go in a specific order. Aside from that, my first chapter starts with an original character so please be open minded for now.
"I never understood what would happen if everything and everyone I knew disappeared. I had a feeling the reason was because I not only took it for granted, but I never really thought it would ever happen. Ignorance is bliss, until ignorance bites back."
Original Character Elizabeth Sanchez
I waited, and I watched. The brutal waves crashed against the shore adding to the already morbid scenery. The incessant crying of the young ones had stopped and to be honest I was thankful to finally have some time to think without the company of shrill voices. If I could sleep, I would have been dreaming about soft billowy clouds that looked as if they would be blown away by the next day by the wind that caressed by face gingerly, as if it were an old friend. I needed friends in my life now, because even though I was on an island teeming with people in the exact situation, I had never felt so out of place in my twenty-two years of life.
"Liz, where are you? Liz?" A man called, and I reluctantly rolled over on the bed of sand with an irked groan. "Yes?" My voice sounded exasperated and dry as ever when I answered. Kaleb had never been one of the boys that I would have spent my time with in Los Angeles. Honestly, he would have been one of those boys who I would have never even taken a second glance at. He was a boy after all, prominent cheek bones, a mess of obsidian curls and a lanky body to boot. "So, what do you want?" I pressed, not even attempting to sound pleasant as I waited for whatever nonsense he was going to spew.
"Don't cock an attitude with me just because you are stuck here like the rest of us. It wouldn't kill you to make the best of things you know." Kaleb lectured me, acting as if he were the mature one in the situation. Ha! That was hysterical in one too many ways. This boy was no older than sixteen and I would have bet a hundred bucks that he had not even kissed a girl before. The innocence that practically radiated off of him made it clear. "Funny, funny. Now, what is so earth-shatteringly important that you felt the need to knock on my door?" My sarcasm was impressive, I was confident enough to admit that, after all Uncle Jared was a professional. What could I say? It ran in the family.
With a grunt that sounded more like a mouse squealing, the boy in front of me rolled his jade eyes, dusting off my sarcasm more so than I would have liked. "Yeah, well, I think Bella came back with some fish and Edward is working on getting all of the luggage from the wreckage." Kaleb stated, folding his arms across his chest oh-so casually. "Cullen and Swan, right?" I checked, springing to my feet. Truth be told, I was hungry and if it meant I had to get some food from the Swan chick, I didn't care. I was astonished though how she had recovered so quickly in three weeks of being stranded. The girl had seen her Mother die right in front of her. I could feel bad for her, but to be honest I felt a little worse for myself. That was life and we all had our burdens to bear, hell, I had quite a few of my own. "Oh, goodie." I rejoiced, my enthusiasm not nearly as thick as my sarcasm as I ascended from the mud like sand. It slowed me down and worse, it stuck to my body.
"Hey Kaleb…" I called, raising the pair of sunglasses that I had seen laying on the beach with my finger tips. As I predicted, Kaleb perked up ever so slightly, a response from my non-snaky attitude I supposed. "Yeah, Liz?" He asked brushing a tan hand through his dark locks. For a split second the boy sounded as if he were hoping for something. Just like my little puppy dog Ryan when he was hoping that I'd throw him a bone. "Do you think that you could get me one of those fish? I am not in the mood to walk…" I yawned idly, stretching my sun bathed arms.
Suddenly, Kaleb's expression went sour and his boyish face transformed into one that looked like that of a true childs. "You know, I think I hear someone calling my name. You had better hurry, I don't think she caught that many." Kaleb's warning at the end was more or less a challenge in my mind. "Lizzy you lazy woman get off your butt and go get your fish or I get it and you don't" that was what it sounded like, from her perspective atleast. "I'll be there in a sec'" I muttered under my breathe, my deep blue eyes drilling imaginary holes into Kaleb's thick skull. I practically sprinted from where I stood and shoved him to the side oh so slyly, as my hips swayed from side to side tauntingly.
Fifteen minutes past
"Fish…Ugh. You call that fish?" I questioned in disgust, poking at the alien on the "make believe plate" that was actually a leaf. "This is really all we are going to be eating…And you can barely catch a guppy." I ranted, my eyebrows furrowing in as I glowered at the girl across from me. She had waved dark hair and extremely pale skin with a heart shaped face. There was nothing "model" about her, unlike me, but I had to say that out of all the other plain Janes she stood out a bit in her appearance.
"My apologies." Bella said, and I could tell she was trying a bit too hard to be nice to me. Honestly, I was just waiting for her to burst out at me like all the other High School girls did when I was here age. Then again, the Swan girl did not seem completely apologetic from my standpoint. There was something there, in those brown eyes. I loathed it, and I had no idea or clue to why I felt this resentment towards her.
Kaleb shuffled to her side and wrapped his arm around her shoulder teasingly and rocked side to side, moving her with him on the decaying log. "Oh, come on Bells. You did great for your first time. I'll even help you tomorrow." The lanky boy smiled a toothy smile, his eyes squinting making his smile genuine. "Thanks, but I am not sure I'll ever get it." Bella said hopelessly, her cheeks barely, but enough so that I could see, reddening with his unexpected amiable actions. It made me want to go break it up already, it was perfectly clear that Kaleb had something for Swan. It was rather pathetic, to be honest.
My eyes wandered from the uncomfortable twosome to the beach where a pixie like figure danced along the shore to elegantly that I wanted to slap her. "Cullen number one…" I counted under my breath, raising the fish to my mouth boredly.
I hated this stupid island.
I hated the people there.
I hated the fact that my family was far away.
I hated how far away my life was
And I hated myself for being caught in this situation.
Authors Note 2: Alright, so there is not a lot of the Cullens and everyone else yet, but I was not in the mood to start off with Bella, Edward, or any of the other Forks "clan". Aside from that, I will eventually put up everyone's stories, but in due time because I am weird like that….Yup. VIVA LA CHOCOLATE MILK!
