now on to the story!

Prologue~ what the sea wants

I walked onto the small boat feeling a since of calm and safety that I knew would not last for long. I turned around to wave at the people watching me go, my sister crying and my brother holding her. I looked down at the piece of paper in my hand with one sentence written on it:

"Be safe ~Jack&Claire"

That got the tears in the corner of my eyes and I was on the danger of crying which I knew would not make anything better. I herd footsteps coming from behind me I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes and whirled around.

"Miss I need your ticket"

"Oh here you go" I smiled meekly and handed the ticket over to him.

" Thank you miss…Rose" The man stumbled has he looked down to see what my name was, I smiled I loved my name my mom was the one who picked it out because of my bright red curly hair pale skin, and green eyes. I have a small I guess you can say delicate figure, and was quite skinny don't get me wrong I still had some curves….I think. Anyways I am a whopping 5'2 in height and am probably the clumsiest person you will ever meat. My hair made me stick me out like a sore thumb and I hate it so much but my mom always loved my hair.

"I-is there anyone else on the boat mister?" I quietly asked him

"Yes Miss Rose there is a family of three but that's it"

"O-oh thank you" I smiled up at him and walked away. It must be nice to be part of a real family. I must say I don't know them and already am jealous of there situation, I will seem them soon though dinner is coming and there is where I'll HAVE to socialize..Oh well. I headed to my room where waiting was a backpack and one suite case, although I was moving I never really needed much. I stayed in my room until it was time to go to dinner. I walked in the room to find the family already sitting there. They all looked at me and I could feel my face getting redder and redder.

"Hello miss you must be the other passenger I'm Taro and this is my daughter, Felicia, along with my two grandchildren Natalie and Elliot." Said an elder man at the head of the small dinning table.

"H-hello my name is Rose its nice to meet you all two," I replied with a small week smile as I went to sit down next to umm Elliot?"

As the others were looking at the menu I got to take a good look around at them. Elliot was taller then I was but of course most people are. He has red hair like me except it was so light it looked almost pink, his mother and sister all had the same hair color as well. He has glasses and seemed to be nice but not very confident. His sister on the other hand had no glasses and a short bob-cut for her hair and seemed cold and uncaring to me, and was at least a head taller then I was like her brother. Their mother Felicia has long wavy pink hair rosy red cheeks and a kind motherly air about her. Her eyes like her children were and amber color that looked almost gold they were pretty good looking at that even Elliot who had a nerdier appeal to him then the others. Taro seemed to be the man of the family and quite strong for an elderly man he had on overalls and a tee shirt with a walking stick next to him. He was short and bald with a gray mustache and dark brown eyes that looked almost black. He seems stubborn like his granddaughter but friendly like his daughter and grandson, needless to say they all fit well together as a family.

"So Rose was it how old are you anyways?" Natalie had suddenly asked.

"Oh umm well I'm 18 years old if you must know." I replied as a look down at my hands.

"That's awesome you're the same age as I am I bet we'll get along just fine then! My brother here is 20." To my surprise Natalie had went from cold to friendly in a split second.

"So Rose where is your family, being out alone at your age is surprising" Taro told me with a funny look about him

I had figured they would ask but not this soon "Oh umm well I have two older siblings who both live in Mineral town. My other sister's name is Claire and she just turned 25 a month ago along with my brother Jack, they were twins. They run a family farm up there and are both married. I stayed with them and helped around the farm until they had gotten married then I left. My mother passed away when I was 12 my sister and brother were 17 at the time and moved away a month after that and my father was never really himself after." I had told what I could although it was not a lie it was also not the truth either but they need not know that.

"Oh wow Rose I'm sorry to here that" the three of they all said at once.

I smiled at them just then "Oh don't be that was a long time ago things are great now. I hope to start my own ranch some day like my siblings. There's nothing to be sad about really!" I told them and gave them the best smile I could even though that was far from the truth. I told them a; good night after having ate and talked some more and headed off to my room.

"ROSE COME QUICK!" I awoke hearing some one run into my room; it was Natalie with all her bags in hand. "Grab all your things and hurry the ship is sinking." Just as she said the ship rocked violently and things went everywhere.

"Ok ok just go I'll be right behind you" I quickly threw my backpack on my shoulder and grabbed my suite case as I ran up the stair to the deck of the boat. It was chaos on deck the workers getting life rafts together trying not to looked panicked all the while I saw Taro and his family being hoisted down from the boat while Natalie was arguing with they about waiting for me. I wave them on saying that I'll get on the next one as they were getting closer and closer to the angry sea. After the workers made sure there raft was safe and away from the boat they started getting the next one ready for me and some of them as well. Then all of a sudden one of the biggest waves I had ever seen came up and hit the boat hard knocking the workers down and me over the boat. I could hear Natalie scream and saw the others shocked faces as they watched me plummet into the sea.

"What the sea wants it takes and the sea wanted her."
