Chelsea's Arc

Clenching on the rails of the deck I knew a storm was coming. The hushed sounds of booming thunder rang in my ears. Slowly walking back to my room, the ship became more and more unsteady as time slowly passed by. When I finally reached my cabin I quickly got out my keys and ran in. It was dumb of me, but I sought the security of my cabin. I was wrong. The lights suddenly flickered. Waves rocked the ship violently, and I fell to my knees. The whole world was spinning around me. Was I going to die right here? Curling up I prayed. "Please Harvest Goddess, save me!"

At that moment, an ear ripping crash was heard, and the floor boards of the ship fell apart, the next thing you know, I blacked out.

In my dream I was in the light. The harvest goddess descended in front of me, her long emerald braids flowing down.

"Hello Chelsea." The harvest goddess said.

I jumped. "Huh? Y-you know my name?"

The Harvest Goddess giggled. "Of course I do you silly goose."

Still surprised, I asked, "Is it already time for me to leave this world?"

"Who do you think I am? A Soul Reaper?"

"Oh I'm sorry…"

"Anyways Chelsea, there's something I need you to do. "

"Oh yes, what is it?"

"Revitalize Sunny Island . I know you are the one who will do it."

I was dumbfounded. What was the Harvest Goddess telling me to do? I was close to believing I was going insane. I get struck by lightening, and now the Goddess is in front of me, telling me to go revitalize an island I don't even know?

I protested, "Huh? ME? How can I? I need to go to Castanet to become a rancher!"

The Harvest Goddess put on a stern face and nodded her head.

"No. This Island needs you. Plus, you are going to meet new people here. "

I sighed. "Alright, but where is this island?"

The Harvest Goddess giggled. "You're already here."

"Huh?"

Suddenly, The Goddess disappeared and the lights faded away. My consciousness bubbled up to the surface. All I Could feel is the burning rays of the sun baking the salty wounds on my arms and legs.

"Hey mom I think she's awake!" the voice of a girl ran in my ears -who was she?

"Oh dear, poor thing, she must've been from our ship."

Wait these people was from the ship? Who did they get here safely? With the little strength I had, I Slowly opened my eyes. There, a woman with long red hair tied back, knelt down and started to dab some ointment on my leg. I slowly got up into a sitting position, and stared. Where was I? Who are these people?

The woman looked up. "Oh dear, thank goodness you're awake. We were afraid that you were seriously hurt."

I thought I was dreaming again. "We?"

The woman nodded. "Yes. My name is Felicia. This is my family, Elliot, Natalie and my father. We were able to get on the life boats before the lightening struck. I'm afraid you were the only one that couldn't get on."

Looking up, I could see a boy and girl about the same age as me. They must be Natalie and Elliot, I thought. Their red hair told it all. But there was one person that stood out the most. It was the bald old man in the blue trousers. Now, he was strange. He turned towards me and snapped at me.

"What are ye doing girl? Hurry up and git to your feet!"

His beady eyes stared at me, and I got up from the ground. I now realized that we were on a vast beach. There was also a road that led down here also. This place was silent. There were no signs of life whatsoever… It was abandoned.

Natalie walked up to me, "Are you sure you're alright? You were pretty lucky to survive all that."

I laughed nervously. "Yeah, I know- anyways, my name is Chelsea. Thank you for saving me."

"Chelsea, huh? Well nice to meet you." Natalie replied.

Natalie then turned around and yelled, "Hey! Eliot you big dumbo hurry and come over here! Geez, can't you even say a 'Hello' to anybody?"

The red headed boy then nervously ran over to us. Adjusting his glasses, he started to talk. "H-hello. Nice to meet you."

I gave a big smile to Eliot. "It's nice to meet you too!"

Normal PoV

Natalie was scolding Eliot near the boat where the family had ridden in with their luggage. Eliot had apparently grabbed someone else's luggage also amidst all the panic they were in. When Chelsea looked at whose bag it was, it was surprisingly hers! Natalie said that it was 'fools luck". However, Chelsea felt extremely grateful because the bag was full of her special gifts from Flowerbud. Taro Natalie and Eliot then investigated the town. Most of the houses were very old and needed maintenance. The roads were eroded, and had to be re-tiled. Chelsea felt more and more hopeless of revitalizing this island. It was no use going to the jungle or the Forest, because the bridges were completely smashed. But there was a charm about this island that pleased Chelsea greatly. It was the large ranch that was up the road.

Chelsea, filled with excitement, said, "Whoa, this is such a large field; it has enough space for everything!"

Taro, who was right next to her, asked, "Chelsea are you by any chance from a rancher's family?"

Chelsea nodded in response and said, "Yes, I am. My mom and dad were ranchers in Flowerbud."

Taro rubbed his chin in thought. " I thought so, because a true rancher does know potential when they see it."

Chelsea blushed a little and thanked Taro. Chelsea agreed that she would run this farm. Now, Chelsea knew that her work was cut out for her.

Whoo. That was fast. Anyways The chapters are getting longer and longer. Let's hope that Chelseas knows what she's dong!
