A/N: Okay, I am going to be trying a new writing style for this story, the first chapter may not be much, but just enough to get the story rolling. Also for TLBBTT, Expect a new chapter up later this week after almost 4 years of hiatus!

Chapter 1: Tripe to Bodhum

It was a nice day and all was well in the town of Palomporum. Inside the apartment of the Estheim residence was noting but a disarray of chaos. Hope, along with his mother Nora, were going to go on a little vacation while Hope's father, Bartholomew was going to Eden on business. Packing clothes for the trip,

"Hey mom, where are we going anyways?" Hope asked

"To Bodhum, for the fireworks festival" Nora awnsered as she continued to pack up her suitcase. Hope followed suit and continued to pack his own suitcase.

"Hope, Nora... Listen to me." Bartholomew said, "I looked up recent weather reports around the area and they don't look too good, so be careful!"

"Yes." Nora answered as she kissed her husband.

Hope was starting to feel a little concered. "Mom" he asked, "Will everything be okay?"

"Yes Hope, they will." Nora replied, "Now, finish up Hope, we will be leaving soon"

"Come to think of it, I got to leave too." Bartholomew said, "My ride to Eden will be here soon."

"Bye dad, see you when we get back!" Hope said as he gave his dad a hug before he left.

After His father left, Hope was given the job to load his and his mother's luggage into the car as they did some final preparations for their trip. As he was loading the luggage into the car, he noticed that something did not feel right in the air, but he shrugged it off and thought to himself it was just him.

"Hope, it's time to go!" Nora said as she began to start the car.

"Oh, okay mom" Hope replied as he got into the car.

The car finally pulled out of the parking lot of the apartment complex and started to cruse down the street. The weather still seemed nice, but Hope could not get the fact that something was going to go wrong as the car got on to the expressway to Bodhum. Hope didn't think about it too much again as he fell asleep for most of the car ride.

A couple of hours later, Nora said "Hope. Wake up! We are going to get lunch!"

"Where are we...." Hope wondered as he opened his eyes

"Were just outside of Bodhum." Nora replied as Hope got out of the car and walked into the restaurant.

The restaurant had a nice, warm atmosphere, As the waitress escorted Hope and his mother to their seats, Hope started to enjoy the trip.

After looking at the menu for a few minutes, the waitress asked "Are you ready to order?"

"I'll have a chicken sandwich with a side of fries." Nora said

"I'll have a cheeseburger and fries." Hope Said

"Would would you like to drink?" The waitress asked

"Cola" Nora said

"White Milk" Hope said as the waitress left.

A few minutes later, after taking a look around the restaurant, Nora said "Hope, It seems that you have something on your mind..."

"It's what dad said before we left." Hope said, "I am a little concerned about this trip and the weather."

"Don't worry so much about it Hope. Its a nice day out!" Nora reassured Hope as their food was finally being delivered.

"Yay!" Hope exclaimed as he began to eat his burger.

"It seems that all you need is food to calm you down, dosen't it." Nora said as she began to eat her sandwich.

After they finished eating their meal and paid the bill, they got back into the car and all of a sudden, the wind started to pick up and the nice, sunny weather that foreshadowed the beginning of their trip was starting to be obscured by storm clouds.

"Thats odd..." Nora said, "I thought it wasn't supposed to rain." as she started the engine and continued down the road.

The weather continued to get bad. The storm clouds now completely eclipsed the sky and rain was starting to fall down, fast. Hope did not feel like sleeping and started to stare out the window to see the scenery. "Mom, how much further?" Hope asked

"Not too far. Maybe another hour or so." Nora answered as she noticed that something was not right. The wind started to pick up really badly and there was another vehicle that was oncoming to them! Nora tried to blare her horn at the oncoming motorist, but to no avail. She could not pull over to the side because the other driver was hugging the shoulder.

"Hope, Brace for impac-" Nora tried to say but it was too late! The car collided with the other car head on, and then, Hope's world went black.
