LADY OF THE WAVES
Chapter 1 - Awakening
"Congratulations Mrs. Levi. It's a girl," the doctor said with a small smile.
He handed the little girl over to her mother who eagerly scooped her up and began gently rocking her back and forth. The little girl in her arms had eyes the colour of the sea,
"I'm going to call you... Alexis," her mother said, "It was your great grandmothers name,"
Meanwhile...
Hundreds of miles away Lady Agua stirred in her sleep. Soon, she thought, Soon...
Sixteen years later,
FOOOOMMMMM! Alexis sank to the bottom of the pool in a whiteout of bubbles, creating a huge splash and dousing her friend Carter who sat nearby,
"ALEXIS! Stop it!" he wailed, "You know I don't like water!"
"Why'd you agree to come to the pool then silly?" Alexis giggled as she surfaced,
Carter glared at her reproachfully, "You made me come,"
They were at the local leisure centre and Alexis was taking great pleasure in soaking her best friend over and over. For all his whingeing Alexis knew Carter didn't really mind. The two of them had been friends since before they could walk.
Alexis giggled again and swam closer to the edge where Carter was sitting, "True..."
Carter looked down at her and Alexis was suddenly struck by how good looking he was. Untidy black hair stuck up all over his head yet still, somehow, managed to look good, along with a straight nose, perfectly white, even teeth and really intense, serious brown eyes.
He frowned, "Why are you staring at me funny?"
Alexis started then flushed deep red and swam away to hide her confusion. She couldn't understand exactly why the realization of Carter's good looks had struck her at that particular moment. It jsut had. Alexis supposed it had something to do with the water.
She had always had an affinity for water. She really loved swimming and water skiing and just about everything to do with the waves. It was like she had been born with a love for being wet. And she didn't look too bad in a swimsuit either which she just see as an added bonus. Her perfectly defined facial features, long, bouncy blonde hair and her athletic figure coupled with a swimsuit turned many boys' heads when she visited the local beach.
"Alexis come on it's getting late. The pool will be closing soon and we still need to pick out a film for later," Carter called from where he was standing towelling himself off.
Alexis smiled to herself and climed out of the pool to get dried and dressed. They had been talking about renting a film for a while. Carter claimed it was just to hang out somewhere dry, for a change, but Alexis suspected he had a different reason, reinforced by the fact he was watching her walk to the changing rooms with a lot more interest than usual.
Safely ensconced in the cubicle in the changing rooms, however, Alexis discarded her towel and revealed her way of drying off. She simply took one step forward and left all the droplets of water that were clinging to her hanging in midair. Without turning around she willed them to fall and fall they did, making a faint spattering sound on the tiled floor.
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean
It might have been a faint spattering sound to Alexis, but to Lady Agua it was like a cannon going off. She is ready, Lady Agua thought. Finally awakening fully she willed the currents to propel her forward. It was time she told Alexis Levi who she was and exactly what she had been born to do.
