Hey guys! This is my very first story, and I've realized I have to get some of it published. This is the first chapter in my online series, Secrets Can Kill. Please read and review! This story takes place between the gap of seasons one and two, so Charlotte, Ash, and Bella have not come in yet. Any other main character (Emma, Cleo, Rikki, Lewis, Zane, etc.) is in this story. Also, please use common sense when reading. Just thought I'd throw that in. This chapter is extremely short, but I'm having writer's block. There will be WAY LONGER chapters! ;-) BTW, when you see a bar, like below when the story begins, that symbolizes the beginning/end of a chapter, leaving room for A/Ns.
For the light reader:
A/N = author's note
Italics = thoughts/POVs
POV = point(s) of view
BZZZZZZZZZZ!
Rikki Chadwick's alarm clocked rang out the beginning of the morning. Still half asleep, she angrily jerked her head to turn the alarm off. Why was I so stupid? To set my alarm for... 5:30? At that instant, memories came flooding back to her. Last night, Mako Island, the Full Moon, Emma and Cleo... She drifted off back to sleep, but then she heard motorcycles revving up outside her and her father's trailer. Furious, she peeked out the window. Zane...
Rikki knew Zane enough to know that with him up this early and on a motorcycle, she would never get any sleep. She quickly snuck out of the trailer and decided to go to the beach. Once there, she looked at her phone, realizing it was only six. What she had in mind would be perfect to do since normalpeople wouldn't be outside this early.
Using three-way, she called up Emma and Cleo.
"Up for a morning swim?" Was all Rikki could spit out when they finally answered. Sighing, she confessed her real reason for calling them so early before much daylight was revealed.
"Guys, do you remember last night?" "No... What happened last night?" Cleo queried. Emma didn't even answer, although she didn't hang up. "Cleo, the Full Moon was last night! Emma, you remember it, don't you?" "Nothing of it." "But the moon! It couldn't have been a dream. We were all there!"
Annoyed and wanting to drop the conversation, Emma was quick to judge. "Whatever. Anyways, now that you've woken us, a quick swim wouldn't do much harm. My parents left last night for a trip to Tasmania, so they left me and Elliot. He probably won't wake up until ten. So I'm safe." Feeling like the odd one out, Cleo had to deny. "I can't. Dad would probably catch me and if he didn't, you know Kim would." And with that. Cleo hung up. "I'm at the beach already. Meet you there." Then Rikki hung up.
Emma spent no time; although she made swift moves, she briskly made her way to the doorway. It wasn't even five minutes later when Rikki got a peek of Emma's stick straight blonde hair.
As Emma approached, she joked, "Mighty fine catching you up here this early!" "You reckon?" Rikki retorted in response. Her humorous face went away within seconds. She turned around, thinking out loud. "So, about the Full Moon last night... Nothing makes sense. Cleo and you not remembering would, but I remembered it clearly as I woke up. Maybe it was a dream. But getting too much moon would've made us act strange, right?"
Turning back, she didn't see Emma. Looking out into the shallow waters of the ocean, she saw an orange-brown tail. "Em! Wait up!"
A/N - Hmm... what happened to Cleo and Emma? Why is Emma acting so weird? Even though she knew she wouldn't wake Elliot, she's always a little too careful. And why was Cleo so snappy? Was the whole thing really a dream? Only one way to find out; read the next chapter. Well, whenever I have it up.
Please R&R!
