Red Wine and Unshed Tears
By Kirstin S.
A/N: Here's a new full-length for ya'll! I know I don't usually do more of a tragedy one,
But I never did on before because I didn't have any ideas. (also I didn't want my parents to read it) I might change the rating to T later on, because the title suggests that it's an intense story. But I don think I have the writing skills to make it to tragic. I'll probably end up making it a happy ending, you know me.
Prologue
As a speed boat approached the small island, a young woman stared unblinkingly at the small village known as Mineral Town. Her long black hair blew in the ocean breeze. The small beach came into clearer view, and one thought was in this stranger's head. Home sweet home…
Chapter One
A bizarre first impression
Jack drew back his hammer and brought it crashing down onto a large round stone, making the small crack in the top widen slightly. Jack let out a grunt of frustration. He had already hit the annoyingly tough rock five times, and it still would not break.
Lousy hammer… He thought irritably.
There was a creak as the gate to his farm opened. He glanced up. Karen walked into his farm glancing around. He smiled.
"Hey" said Jack
"Hey." replied Karen. It was their signature greeting.
Jack and Karen had some weird feelings between them, even though neither of them really acknowledged it. At least to each other. Sure, Karen had been a little sore after Jack had invited Ann to the fireworks festival last year, but it was only because Rick had beaten Jack to asking her. And Jack had been a little less civil with Rick after that, even though they had gotten along fine before.
The silent atmosphere was broken when Jack's puppy, Almond, ran up to Karen barking happily.
"Good boy." Murmured Karen, kneeling down to scratch the small dog behind the ears.
"So what's up?" asked Jack
"Oh. Right. Actually, I just came to tell you that my dad would like to speak to you."
"How come?" asked Jack curiously
"I'm not sure. He just told me to tell you what I told you." She said.
"?"
Karen blushed. "I mean…"
"It's okay."
There was a distant scream of delight coming from two streets away. Jack and Karen glanced at each other.
"Who was that?" asked Karen. Jack shrugged.
"Let's go find out."
A/N: I'm being a bad girl, I have a story that I need to update and I'm starting a new one. Oh well. No one is reviewing on my other one anyway.
