The Sea King

Okay, so if you've read my profile you'll see that this summary is slightly different from the one on my profile, but either way, it's the same story(duh)

1. First Day of Summer at the Beach

Alice ran the brush through her long chestnut locks. Pulling her hair back, she wrapped it into a high pony and pulled on her favorite, baggiest shirt. Today is beach day! I wonder if the others are already there.

Slipping into her sandals and tossing her shoulder bag over her side, Alice dashed out the door. The sun was shining brightly and the breezes were blowing constantly, making today the perfect day for the beach. Walking along the side of the road, Alice saw a large smear of blue getting closer. Alright! The ocean's totally brimming today!

Grabbing her shoulder bag tightly, Alice made a mad dash towards the coast. It was early so there weren't a ton of people there yet. With her feet kicking up sand, Alice ran over to an unfolded blanket. A white haired boy sat there slathering himself with sunscreen. " Hi Peter!" He turned to look at her, his frown changing to a smile." Oh Alice~ I didn't think you were coming!" Alice grinned at him. " Are you crazy? I'd never miss a beach day! Where is everyone, anyway?" Peter pointed out towards the water. " Most of them are out there."

Alice massaged the thick lotion against her skin, rubbing ferociously at her shoulders and knees, kicking off her sandals as she did." Hurry up Peter! You take longer than anyone else I know to put lotion on, especially sunscreen of all things." Peter stood up, his baggy red tanktop blowing against the breeze." I'm ready, jeez. You're quite impatient about these things," he scolded. Alice rolled her eyes and grabbed his arm, pulling him towards the ocean.

The water was cold against her bare feet, grains of sand and shells washing around her ankles. " Eeep! Cold!" Peter laughed at her, untouched by the water's cold touch. But seconds later, the two of them were doused by a ton of water. Alice hid her face right before the impact, and put her arms down to see who had leveled them. Two identical boys, only distinguished by eye color, stood before them." Haha~ We got you that time, Onee-san," they laughed at her, but then were completely dunked under the water by a weight on their heads. The hands let go and the boys reappeared, catching their breath in big gulps." Hey! What was that for?" they glared at their attacker.

A tall man stood before them, his wavy orange locks dripping with water. His deep purple eyes glared at the two, filled with thoughts of dunking them again." I felt like it," he responded. He turned to Alice and Peter, a half smile on his face." Took you long enough," he laughed. Alice made a smiley pouting face (is that even possible?) and reached for a handful and the salty water. She slung her handfuls of it on him, making the soaked twins smile." I got you. So now we're even."

They frolicked for hours on the beach, having water fights, sun bathing and telling stories. Other friends had joined them as well; including Ace, who happened to tell the creepiest story of all; Boris, who spent the rest of the day taunting Pierce; Blood, who despite his outward dislike for several of them, basically brought a picnic with him, and like any other good beach day, they all lost miserably to Gray and Nightmare at volleyball. Who would have guessed?

As the sun sank into the ocean horizon, Alice waved goodbye to all of her friends." Alright you guys, tomorrow is another beach day so be here like usual!" she shouted to them. They all responded with the normal " yes" or "fantastic" or "awesome."

After a hot shower, Alice flopped onto her bed, wearing her favorite night gown. It was a silky baby blue and had no sleeves at all. Awesome! Flipping on the television, Alice surfed all the channels. A news report caught her eye.

A strange repeated occurrence of peculiar animal sightings has made all authorized personel close any tourist destinations. All the following have been shut down until further notice.

Beach-side restaurants,
local seaside clubs,
and all beaches until further notice.

Alice jumped up, running to her window and pulling open the blinds. In the faint distance, red and blue police lights flashed and flickered in the night. She frowned, her brows forming a v-shape. Picking up her cell phone, Alice hit her first speed dial. " Hello?" a voice answered. " Hey, Elliot. I think we better cancel that beach day tomorrow." Elliot voice held a small bit of concern." Why? Did something happen?"

" Well, I don't really know. Can you get to Channel 9? Something's going on at the beaches." Silence was heard as a T.V echoed in the backround." Man, that bites. Want me to call up everyone else?" he offered. "That'd be great. I'll try to find out more about this beach thing. They said it was some sort of animal or something, and if that's the case, then it might even come into the city," she stated, nervous sensations running up her spine." Well, if anything happens, those news freaks will be the first to know... or die." " Elliot!"

" What? They always bark up the wrong tree and you know it. I'm gonna start calling the others. Dig up whatever you can. Who knows, maybe this might be fun. How many people can say they hunted a savage monster over summer break?" Alice sighed at his enthusiasm, and let him go. Plopping back down on her bed, Alice huddled beneath the covers.

Is it really some savage monster? Whales and dolphins always get close to the beaches around here, not sharks.

Then Alice was hit with an idea. An urging, constant, ridiculous idea. Would they notice if I went out there right now?

Kicking away at her covers, Alice headed to her dresser. She changed into clasped sandals, khaki shorts and a green tanktop. Pulling her shoulder bag back on she.. wait. where's my bag? Oh no, it's on the beach!

Alice ran out the door and towards the beach, her chestnut hair flopping against the wind.
The area we hang out in is practically secluded, so no one should be there.

But, what if that animal is there?

OMG! New Channel 9 is real!

So how should this go? I just typed this without thinking it through(not my smartest idea)
but if you know who the...nevermind, forget I said that.
