I don't own harvest moon.

It was time to move on. Start again. A new name, a new life, a new place.

The dark clouds loomed over the city, forshadowing dark times for many. As she boarded the boat, the girl paused. she was 18, with sholder length brown hair and icy blue eyes. A sudden feeling of dread had overcome her, but she quickly shook this off as nerves. She should have been used to moving around by now. She had never stayed in one place for long, not since... The Captain's loud holler interrupted her thoughts as she scrambled to get on the boat.

She sighed as the boat gradually pulled away. Clutching her small case of belongings, she attempted to find her cabin, while avoiding all human contact (she hated talking to people). Looking out the window for one last time, she fell into a deep sleep. This was the last time that she saw the city again.

Later that night...

She had had another terrible nightmare that night, on the boat. This time she was drowning in a deep, blood red sea. Boats surrounded her, as she cried for help. The people on board pointed and shouted at her, "It's all you're fault!". She struggled in vain to stay afloat. As she gave up and sunk to her death those cruel words echoed in her head. "It's all you're fault!"...

Suddenly, she jolted awake. She had never felt so sad, so lonely, so wet. Wait a minute... wet? There had to be a logical explanation. Yes, she had had a drowning dream but she was far too old to wet herself. Wasn't she? Shaking herself awake, she realised that water was flooding into her cabin. This boat was sinking.

She tried to avoid panicing, as she ran up to the deck, while she cursed the stupid boat for sinking with her on it. She immediately noticed that something was missing. There was no people. Not a soul. Even worse: they had taken all the life boats with them. She had been forgotten, left behind. Then she started to panic.

With lightning reflexes, she grabbed onto a conveniently near by barrel and jumped into the freezing cold sea.

'If I died no one would miss me.' That was her last thought before she passed out..
