Chapter 1: Just Warming Up
I walked with amber across the shore in a comfortable silence, the ocean sea blew thick locks of canopy hair in my face, the weather was cold and the sky was a calm cloudy mass that, in the distance, seemed to blend with the gray immensity of "La Push" First Beach.
My feet dug in the wet sand with each steep I took, the cold was relaxing but intense, It crossed my mind that I shouldn't have token off my boots, either way, I said nothing to amber, who quietly walked by my side, contemplating the sea with a lost gaze, what went on in her mind, I couldn't begin to imagine.
I hugged my oversized jacket firmly around me when the strong wind spayed freezing water drops in our faces as we stood still, closer to the ragging waves and watched wordlessly the lone island before us, looking as if the strange amount of land were floating lost above the wild currents that appeared as if they would suddenly throw it towards the beach in any moment.
With shaky hands I fixed my hair in a sloppy knot at the base of my head, trying to avoid their rabid attack to my face and eyes, not wanting any distraction from the magnificent view, trying to memorize the image in my mind, so maybe, in the future, all old and wrinkled, be able to describe this moment to my grandchildren. Would I be able to show them this wonderful place? Would it still exist?
My hair flew free from the improvised bun and soared behind me, I didn't try to stop it this time and let it be, enjoying the soft tug from the wind's force in my head while it took speed with clear signs of a storm nearby. When the first flashes of lightning crossed the horizon, both amber and I started are way back to the messy camp, again, no single word exchanged, simply observing nature in its best.
We got to the group of teenagers that chatted and laughed merrily, making one or two snide remarks about the "stupid weather" or "stupid storm" while we packed the food, or it's remaining, I started to pick the garbage lying in the sand. I didn't know if the guys were planning to do it, nor did I wait to find out and gathers al the empty chip bags and anything inorganic in the area. I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as much as I would've expected from high school kids.
The boys turned off the fire and I sat comfortably in one of the logs with my backpack on my lap. With the wind still playing with my long wavy hair I fought to get the sand off my feet and put on my boot blindfolded, bearing the tickling of my bangs, caressing my eyelids and completely blocking my view, with another bored attempt I passed my messy locks behind my ears just to welcome them back with just the right amount of impulse to sting my already flushed skin.
Hugging my backpack to my chest I waited patiently for the lider of the group to give us green light so we could leave. Amber found me after a couple of seconds and opened her way towards me with a smile. Her blond, shoulder length hair flying in front of her face in a flat disarray, eyes shining in soft blue, adorned with long and dark eyelashes. Her slightly round figure advanced rapidly, in all her 170 cm glory. At times like these I would wonder why she was still single.
I made space on the small log for her and smiled slightly when she sat next to me, again, not much of a talker, I said nothing.
-So, what do you think? Asked Amber after a moment, I shrugged maliciously. When Amber's face turned in a disappointed frown, I smiled widely.
-I was just playing, this was awesome, I don't think I've ever seen a place more…- I rolled my eyes across the amazing extension before me, in search of an adequate word to describe it, felling it to be impossible to capture all in simple letters, I signed- Magical…
ok so this is a little piece of my story, just warming up on this thing. I promise to post longer chapters... later.
