It all began that summer.

My little brother, Derek and I, were excited that summer finally came to Destiny Island, our little home. I was the oldest, being that I was fifteen and he was only eleven. My name is Delilah, the eldest and only sister he has. We live on our own. We have no idea what happened to out parents, only that they left us each half of a hearted locket. Still, we had friends from school and around the Island who helped us. Both of us were very lucky to have such good people around us. However, we both were still stuck in classes, which kinda stunk, even though I did love education, Summer was a second priority to me and Derek. Right now, me and my classmates were relaxing in our seats while I was drawing in my notebook. The ticking of the clock was really teasing me, and it was ticking ME off.

"Drawing again Delilah? Doesn't surprise me much."

As I heard this, I chuckled, looking back to seeing a girl with light red hair and sky blue eyes. This, was one of my best friends, Angel, who always had my back. I shrugged lightly, answering her back. "What can you expect? Drawing is a hobby of mine. I adore it." I said with a sort of passion in my voice as we both laughed, excited for that last bell to ring for good. After this, it's gonna be three months of fun under the sun, swimming, volleyball, staying up late, and sleeping by the shore. "Oh, by the way, my parents and I are having a BBQ later, you and Derek wanna come?" She asked asked me as I nodded in agreement, smiling. "Sure thing, we'd like that. Besides, he probably would wanna see your brother anyhow." I mentioned as she nodded before we heard the final bell ring, grabbing our books and such before she looked to me.

"You remember the plan?"

"Of course I do, why would I forget?"

"We got Derek and Milly in position?"

"Heck yeah."

Angel said as I nodded, seeing her nod as well. We both mouthed three together, then, with the other kids, all three our school papers together into the air, screaming, whistling and giggling in excitement before we both took hands and ran out together. Outside, we saw a bit with spiky brown hair and yellow eyes and a girl with blonde hair and green eyes. The little boy, my brother, ran to me and hugged me tight, as we both giggled in excitement. "We did it sis, we finally did it! We planned planned everything perfectly!" Derek said happily as I nodded, seeing Milly. "Good job Milly, I'm so proud of ya! You did great." I said as as she nodded before Angel spoke up. "Now, LET HE THIS PARTY STARTED!" She shouted as we all nodded, whooping loudly in excitement once more, running together, not noticing the mysterious figure that watched us as we went to Angel's house to celebrate.

~Later at Angel's House~

"Alright everyone, we ready for some fun?!" Milly shouted as we all shouted at the same time. Everyone came in their bathing suits and swimming trunks, since th party was of course beach themed. I wore a yellow, blue, and green floral two piece under a tank top and a light blue glitter short piece. Derek wore flamed-colored swimming trunks, having a fun time with his classmates. Me and the girls were enjoying some nice sodas and a few burgers. "See ladies, this is the life." Angel said with a smirk on her face as we both nodded in agreement. As they talked, I thought about our parents again. Our parents, whom we don't remember much, only left us with half hearted lockets. What was it suppose to mean? That our hearts will always be one together? I don't know, I'll figure it out later. Right now, I wanna relax. As I sat back on the sand, I saw a figure wearing some sort of armor. I quickly sat up, then hopped up and looked back. I slowly walked towards where he was, then looked down, seeing a picture that shocked me.

It was a picture of me and Derek as kids... With our father. That means our dad was alive? But, what about our mom? Was she OK? Was she even alive? So many questions filled into my hand, it wasn't even funny. "Delilah, Delilah? You there?" I heard a voice, more like Derek's, call for me as I turned around, seeing him. "Hey bud, everything OK?" I asked him, seeing him nod. "What happened, did ya see a ghost?" He asked me as I nodded slowly. "Yeah, come on, let's head back to the party. I heard there's gonna be a limbo contest." I said as I saw him smile. "Yes! No one can beat me at that!" He said in excitement as he ran off, following behind him, putting the picture in my pocket, still wondering how it got there in the first place.

What I didn't realize was that our Summer was all about to change in a snap.
