The hour stroke midnight as the female rancher slept in her bed. A harsh breeze roared smoothly around the trees of the islands. Raindrops were coming down harshly, causing large amounts of puddles to form. The night sky was consumed in darkness. A whisper from the wind then appeared through the female rancher's ear.
"Get away from here..."
Her body tensed up.
The long haired girl felt shivers rush down her spine. She awoke in fear, seeing an unfamiliar faded figure in her mirror. The girl was already half asleep, so of course to her reactions she thought she was dreaming. This figure had flowing long dark green hair, and a ghostly like dress.
"No need to fear me, Chelsea... You know me very well. You're in danger. An enemy approaches. He is the cause of the earthquake that had sunk all of the islands. He plans to destroy you, so you cannot obtain the sunstones. You are the only one capable of restoring these islands. "
Chelsea sat up in her bed with a confused expression. She was too tired to absorb that information into her mind. However, she did absorb some, which scared her to death. Chelsea nodded as she stood and got dressed. She still thought this was a dream, so she didn't react how she would have acted in reality.
"Where do I go?" Chelsea questioned.
"I suggest Mushroom Island. Wada and Shea shall protect you from harm," the figure replied.
"How do I get there?" The rancher asked.
"You have to take Kirk's boat. He is absent, so you must take the boat yourself. I'm sure you've been there plenty of times, so of course you should know the way around. "
"Why can't you take me? And more importantly... Who are you?"
"My identify is not of importance... However, I'm sorry to say the person who is after you has drained a immense amount of my power..."
Chelsea suddenly heard footsteps.
"Hurry! Get dressed and go!" shouted the mysterious figure in the mirror. The girl nodded as she got her normal clothes on.
"Depart now before this storm gets worse!" the figure stated.
Without hesitation, Chelsea sprinted out of her house, not looking back.
The winds roared with power as she sprinted through the town. Lighting than occurred, almost hitting the ground, not to mention that it was raining immensely.
Chelsea heard these echoes of voices behind her, some very familiar voices. However, she did not even hesitate to look back. She heard footsteps behind hers.
Seeing Kirk's boat, she jumped on it. It took her a few minutes to figure out how to start the motor, but she successfully figured it out.
As she advance more towards Mushroom Island, the storm grew worse. The winds rocked the small boat, while lighting almost crashed down onto her boat, and then the rain got in the way of her vision.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning hit her boat, allowing it to split open.
Chelsea screamed as she tried to fight the waves roaring over her. She gulped water out from her mouth, trying not to drown.
"Help..!" she screamed weakly.
The waves kept crashing into her, as she was gasping for air.
"H-Help..!" She cried again, trying to stay above the water.
A wave so powerful then came down upon her. Before she knew it, Chelsea was knocked out.
The female body was starting to sink down into the dark water. Her lungs filled up with water as she felt herself choking down water. She knew she could not win this fight alone. She would die.
A manly figure abruptly wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her up above towards land.
He laid her down on the sand, and tried waking her. Panicking, he started to press down on her chest to let the water get out of her system.
Chelsea suddenly started to cough up water from her body.
Her sapphire eyes open, while her vision was blurry. She saw a blurry mysterious figure above her.
"Shea..." she whispered weakly.
The heroine had suddenly collapsed.
The next morning, Chelsea awoke in a bed. A young man was staring down upon her.
Squinting her eyes, she said tiredly, "S-Shea... Wh...What happened last night? What am I doing here?"
"Someone say help... So me save Chelsea... Shea very worried.. Heard man try hurt Chelsea!" Shea told her.
So it wasn't a dream...
"Thank you so much, Shea."
"Chelsea..."
" Hm?"
"No boat... Wada not visit... None visit now..." Shea explained slowly with a serious expression planted onto his face.
"You mean... There is no way getting out of here...?" Chelsea muttered, panicking.
"...Stranded. Not worry though Chelsea! Shea will protect Chelsea from bad guy! Today Shea will teach Chelsea how to hunt!"
Shea was getting all fired up.
Chelsea sighed, still thinking she was dreaming and that everything will be okay.
When it wasn't.
Author Note: I really like the plot of this story. Some of you might think its dull or something. But trust me, it will get better. You're probably going to say well why can't the villagers go and use the other boat by Chelsea's ranch? Well, you'll see why in the next chapter. Sorry if the characters reactions aren't as good. I wrote half of this story a month ago, however; never got to finish it because I had to leave. So I forgot what descriptive parts and reactions I wanted for this chapter. And I've just finished this up around midnight, so please don't hate on me. This is a Chelsea x Shea story. And remember, Chelsea's reactions aren't as realistic since she thinks she is dreaming. This story is based on the new game Harvest Moon Sunshine Islands. I really hope you like it so far, so please review. I'll update when I can since I don't have a computer at the moment. Well, thank you for your time.
Edit: Okay, I've clearly edited this chapter and fixed some errors. So at this moment, I'm going to try to type the second chapter, I can't promise you it won't be as good as this chapter, but I'll try.
