Chapter 1: The First Night
Chapter 1: The First Night
Eve shivered slightly. It was a cold night, even though it was Spring. Her parents had bought tickets for the boat ages ago, but sent her to Mineral Town once she finished college.
"Please Eve, consider it…" her mom begged her. Sure, she lived in Flower Bud Village, a farming town, all her life. But, she had never actually worked on a farm.
Her parents and friends always said she had a green thumb, but Eve didn't think of her gardens becoming her career.
Zack, whom she had just met, came over to her. "Alrighty, we should be in Mineral Town in about an hour. So, get ready." With that being said, he walked away.
Eve sighed. She was excited to own a farm, yes; with all the fruits, vegetables, and animals. But, she was truly afraid of the people. She was… taciturn.
Taciturn means quiet; reserved in speech and manner. Overall, Eve was shy. After she knew you, she would come out of her shell; but until then, almost nothing.
As her eyes felt heavy with sleep, she took out her contacts. Yes, yes, I know it's strange for a farmer to wear contacts. But, wearing glasses would be difficult to wear to work out in the fields, and going half-blind wasn't an option.
Eve let her eyes close, and sleep fell upon her.
Someone was shaking her when she woke up. It was Zack. "Wake up. We're in Mineral Town! I put your things in your house already. You should head there."
Eve nodded, half-awake, and walked off the boat onto the dock murmuring a thank you to Zack. As she walked, she thought about her parents. She thought about the fact they were probably curled up in front of the T.V. and falling asleep to the news, or to some sort of show…
Once her thoughts died down, Eve stopped and stood still. Her eyes popped open as she realized one of the worst things she could have possibly imagined happened to her in Mineral Town, on her first day, in the middle of the night.
She was lost.
