Prologe
Into her dream she heard a voice calling… it was gentle and soothing.
Two eyes flew open.
A young 4- year old girl sat up straight in bed.. rubbing her sleepy eyes Her black hair was curly and messy from sleeping.
She wanted to know where that lovely voice came from.
Sneaking downstairs she was as quiet as she could be trying not to wake her parents.
Sandra had never been out of the house alone, but she wasn't afraid.
She didn't realize that the voice that called to her.. was the voice of the sea.. the voice that called out to so many man.
The voice that begged you to sail forever..
The little girl walked onto the beach that was very close, as there house stood by it.
Totally mesmerized by the ocean at night, Sandra gasped.. it was more beautiful then she had ever could imagine. Her parents had never allow her to go there, they had told her she could drown in the waves.
Now seeing this, she didn't understand.
Why would they keep her away from this?...
Sandra looked around as her little feet's hit the sand, it felt nice .
Her eyes went to the full moon who lighted the ocean.
She gently took one step into the sea, smiling when the waves gently touched her feet.
Taking a few more steps into the water, she closed her eyes.
Suddenly a familiar voice ran into her ears ''Sandra.. SANDRA GRAYHAM.. get out of that water NOW!''
She quickly turned around.. it were her parents who were raising towards her.
Her mother grabbed the little 4 year old in her arms and walked further onto the beach an to there house Much to the disliking of Sandra, who was crying softly now.. she wanted to stay.
''sttt'' father hushed her ''you really gave us quite a scare you know… you shouldn't be on the beach at night.. especially not alone you cou..'''
''yes I know daddy.. I could have drowned.. but it called to me'' her eyes went to her father who smiled to her
''That Sanny.. is the call of the ocean.. I can hear it to.. that's why I'm in the navy.. If only you had been a boy'' and he nodded sadly
Sandra whipped away a tear with a small fist as they walked into the house and into her bedroom.
''So that means I can never sail?''
''you will find something else'' her mother hushed her as she laid the girl in bed.
Sandra nodded a no ''Never'' and then her eyes closed sleeping quietly…
