CHAPTER 1

Tabi's POV

WALKING AROUND TOWN

I was new here, I had just finished year 12 and I still wasn't so sure what I wanted to do with my life. My mum moved her and dragged me down with her, she said if I still didn't like it at the end of the year I could move away, my mum is a photographer and loves to take photos of everything, I'd complain but she is a photographer, she loved photos of under water stuff and she moved her for the marine parks wild life, she puts lots of her photos in articles and stuff. My mum is really pretty and I must of inherited it, my big brown eyes, my body shape, my long curly hair, but for some reason I never believe the look works for me. I love to sea so I would prefer to look like a surfer chick instead of a model. I take a walk around and run into a place called Rikki's, it's a cafe that I decide to eat in. I walk in and everyone stares at me, I sigh and feel eyes follow me to my seat. I sit in the booth and read the menu,

"Hi, welcome to Rikki's cafe, how may I help you?" Asks a girl with blonde hair pulled back into a bun leaving whispy bits out, she looks gorgeous.

"Hi, I'm Tabi, can I just have a mango smoothie" I ask, as I speak I can feel a secret coming off her... I have always been good at telling when secrets and being kept and this one is big, it seemed to be shouting Mako Island. Huh? I thought, what's that?

"Sure" she said uncomtfably as I studied her, she shuffled away and place my order, she gave it to a good looking boy and then kissed him. Better not try for him, I thought

"Here's your smoothie" the boy says as he walks over here with my smoothie

"Hey, umm, I'm Tabi nice to meet you"

"I'm Zane, you look like a sport chick" Zane says

"That's nice most people think I'm a model! I hate it!" I reply

"I know what you mean same with my girl friend" he turned to look at her serving others. He seemed to have a secret too, but more like he was hiding someone else's

"So, what sort of sports am I?" I ask with a grin

"Do you like motorbikes?"

"YES" I loves to ride my motorbike! I would ride it around my old town, I road it everywhere!

"We should hang out one time, and ride bikes"

"Sure, that sound heaps fun, anyway, I'm going down to the pier see if I could borrow at boat" I say picking my drink up

"Would you like to borrow my boat?" He offers

"That's sweet but, is alright"

"Bye" he says as I leave and I turn around and give him a wave

PIER

"Hi, umm do you know where I can borrow a boat for an hour or two?" I ask a man tying his boat up to he pier.

"You bumped into the right man, you can take that boat down the end, for two hours it would be around... $25" he said

"That's fine" I said exchanging $25 for the keys. He nods his head and wishes me best luck.

I jump into the boat and get it started. I ride the boat into the middle of the ocean and fall in love with its peace and mystery, then something rocketed past me that caused the boat to rock, then two more came causing the boat to flip, the boat sunk down with me under it, I quickly tried to get out and I did but I barely had enough oxygen in my body to get to the top, when I did I laid on the ocean like a floating star fish. Then I saw an island, my best chance was to swim to it. It took me a while but I got there and when I did I was so tired, I wandered deeper into the island so I could make a fire to signal people that I was here, I could've got any sticks on the island sure but something was drawing me further in so I let it take me. Soon I reached some rocks and this is where I was meant to be, I wasn't sure why so I looked around, it was getting dark and I was getting scared, I should've wandered so far into the island! I walked around the rocks screaming for help when I fell into an opening! I screamed the hole way down, but I reached the bottom and I was in a cave, the cave was warm, and it felt nice so I wandered around a bit and found an opening. The opening lead to a pool inside it, soon I realised I was in a volcano! The volcano was a rocky brown but had a wall where rock had been removed and blue, beautiful rock was there, there was one little diamond piece that was there, i decided to keep it i put in my jeans pocket, maybe i could make a necklace out of it, it did have a small hole in it. The volcanos pool was majestic so I couldn't help myself, so I took my shoes off and got into the pool, it was pitch black outside but if I was going to get out, it was now. When I got into the pool, it started to bubble, I looked up and saw the moon overhead, the moon was causing this! But how? I was so memorised by this and I continued to look up at the moon until it past, when it past the bubbles died out and I saw under the cave into a reef, because it was night I was getting scared so I quickly swam back to shore and lit a fire, hopefully someone would see it. I curled up next to the fire and fell asleep.
