Ninja vs. Pirate
Chapter 1
Hey there. My name is Amber and I've just turned 17. I've been living on Sunny Island for 11 years. Me and my mum washed up here when our boat got caught in a storm. We were leaving Kai…my father. He eventually found us and kidnapped mum. He held her for about a week until Vaughn saved her. He wasn't on the island at the time of the kidnapping so he didn't know until he got back. Oh, Vaughn is the island's animal trader and mum's husband. Not long after they married, they had Leo, my now 8 year old little brother. For my 17th, mum got a small house built for me on the far end of her field near the river, so I live there now. Anyway, this is my story.
I woke up on a hot summer morning. I groaned as I stretched on my bed. Even though I was born in the summer, I despised the season. It was too hot. I preferred winter.
I heard soft knocking on my front door.
"Come in," I called, sitting up.
The door opened to reveal Leo.
"Good morning, sis," he smiled at me.
"Morning, sweetie," I replied patting my bed.
He climbed up and gave me a hug.
"Mum told me to come and tell you that breakfast is nearly ready."
"Ok. I'll be there when I'm dressed."
"Ok."
He climbed off my bed and left. I got up and grabbed a blue tank top and a pair of white shorts that I got for my birthday and went for a shower. After I got dressed, I brushed my long hair and pulled it into a ponytail. I put my black sandals on and left. As I walked to the main house I looked at the field and saw that the corn and tomatoes were nearly ready to be harvested. When I got to the main house, mum and Vaughn were cooking breakfast and Leo was sitting at the table, waiting. Leo looked up as I entered.
"Took your time, sis," he joked.
I stuck my tongue out at him and he laughed. I grabbed the bottle of orange juice before I sat down in the chair next to him.
"So, what are you doing today?" I asked while pouring us some juice.
"Me, Kelly, Ross and Jean are going to go play in the meadow today."
"That sounds fun."
Kelly is Elliot and Julia's daughter, Ross is Uncle Denny and Lanna's son, and Jean is Pierre and Natalie's daughter.
"What about you, sis?"
"I would hang with Charlie and Eliza but they are so lovey dovey at the moment, so I might go visit Shea."
"The jungle man? Can I go with you next time?"
"Sure."
At that time, mum and Vaughn brought the breakfast over.
"You will do your chores before you go, right?" mum asked us.
"Yes," Leo said.
"Of course," I said.
"Good," she smiled.
They gave me and Leo our breakfast then sat down with theirs. We were having eggs on toast with tomatoes. I started eating.
"Mmm, this is delicious," I said.
"Yeah, it is," Leo said with his mouth full.
"Leo, what have I told you about talking with your mouth full?" mum scolded.
He finished chewing and swallowed.
"Hehe. Sorry mum."
When I was finished, I washed my dishes then left the house. I went to the chicken coop to feed and hug the chickens and to collect the eggs. My first and favourite chicken, Omelet, died 4 years ago. She was a really old chicken when she went. She lasted 2 years longer than a normal chicken lifespan.
I made the eggs into mayonnaise and put them into the shipping bin. I left the chickens inside the coop because I didn't know what time I would get back and I didn't want wild dogs to scare them. I did that once and Vaughn was very disappointed in me. I didn't like that so I've taken care not to let it happen again.
Then I left the farm. As I walked past the beach, I saw Charlie and Eliza sitting together holding hands. I just smiled and continued on. When they had told me they were seeing each other, I was really happy for them. I waved to Aunt Mirabelle as I was walking past the animal shop and saw her looking out the window. I hurried past Regis' house. The man scared the living day lights out of me. I swear I've seen him looking at people with hunger on his face. When I was passing the meadow, I saw that Kelly and Ross were already there.
"Morning, Amber," Ross called out. "Is Leo coming?"
"Yes, he will be here soon," I called back.
"Ok, thanks."
I waved as I continued to the jungle. I sighed in relief when I entered. It was so much cooler. I climbed the closest tree and began searching for Shea. I jumped from tree to tree until I found him sitting near the river. I silently jumped down from a tree close to him, and then crept towards him without a sound.
"Hello, Amber," Shea said without turning around.
"Aww, how did you know I was here?" I whined.
"Your breathing. You not control breathing yet."
"Oh. Well, I'll get you next time."
Shea chuckled. I sat down next to him and stretched my legs out.
"What bring Amber here?"
"I thought I would visit you," I replied playing with a blade of grass. "There was nothing else to do."
"Amber welcome anytime."
"Thanks, Shea."
We spent the day with Shea teaching me how to control my breathing while hunting. As the sun was setting, Shea set up a fire and we caught some fish to eat. When we finished, it was getting late so I thought it was best to go home.
"Mum goes crazy if I stay out too late. I'll come again soon," I said while we were walking to the bridge.
"Ok. Bye Amber."
I smiled up at him then gave him a hug. He stiffened a little then relaxed and hugged me back. My heart fluttered when he hugged me back. I wasn't expecting him to.
"Bye," I said letting go.
I got to the other side, turned and waved when I saw he was still watching me. He waved back then disappeared.
By the time I got back home, it was really late. Vaughn was sitting on the porch of the main house. When he saw me, he got up, said something through the front door and walked over to me.
"Sorry I'm home so late, dad. I lost track of time."
"It's fine, Amber. So long as your safe and we know you are with Shea," he said.
He kissed my forehead and headed back to the house.
"Goodnight," he said over his shoulder.
"Goodnight," I said then went to my house.
I chuckled when I got inside. He may say they know I'm safe with Shea, but I could tell they were worried about me. As I got ready for bed, I was thinking that mum chose the perfect guy to fall in love with. He loved my mum with all his heart. Even when that snobby cow Sabrina tried to seduce him away just after the wedding, he didn't give her a thought for even a second. He finally told Regis that if he didn't control his daughter there would be consequences. Sabrina then left the island and never returned. I was on the beach the day she left. She glared at me the whole time. I just stared back at her. As the ferry was pulling away, I waved with a smirk. Her face went red with rage. She turned and went into the cabins. I laughed when she hit her head on the door frame. Uncle Denny saw the whole thing and was shocked that a 9 year old could be like that.
When I finished changing, I fed Kitty, my cat, and got into bed. Not long after, Kitty jumped up, climbed onto my pillow and lay down next to my head.
"Goodnight, Kitty."
"Meow," she replied then started purring.
Well, how was it? I thought it was alright. And Kitty is the name of my cat XD. I suck at naming pets. Ok see you guys next chapter ^^
