Okay so this is my first fan fiction so please don't judge too harshly; She was told it was a blessing, she was told it was a beautiful thing. But she, Ally Dawson saw it as a curse, a curse she could tell no one about!

Austin M & Ally D – Rated T – Romance/Supernatural

Here is the sixth chapter of 'The Real Her.' This will be Austin's POV of what happened after the storm. This will probably be very short, but as I like to say short and sweet. Sadly I do not own Austin and Ally. I do own the plot line though.

Chapter 6: After The Storm

The storm had subsided, pleased with the panic and chaos it had caused. The sun had revealed its self as it was currently back to lighting up Miami. The sea shone under its beautiful light. Everything was back to normal, everything was peaceful and calm but the beach looked a little damp after the resent bombardment of water.

I couldn't believe what had happened. The storm had come out of nowhere and taken Ally with it. It was my entire fault; I never should have left her, I should never have chucked her in the water in the first place. I felt my eyes burn and sting and my vision became instantly blurred as my eyes watered and a single tear ran down my cheek where it continued down my neck and underneath my shirt.

"Where are you Ally, please tell me you're safe?" I whispered to the evening sea air. The sun was now showing signs of setting, the sky filled with different shades of blue, purple, pink and orange.

'Ally always loved the sunset.' I thought sadly to myself as I continued my search on the beach for my song writer. It was now 5:30 and Dez, Trish and I had been searching the shore since 1:00 for any sign of the petit brunette. They had all remained silent on their search. Dez didn't say anything and Trish who rarely ever cried could be heard sobbing at times. About half an hour ago the two had decided it was time to call an official search party, involving the police, coastguards, Mr Dawson, my entire family, Trish's family, Dez' family and anyone else who was willing to look for the beautiful girl.

I walked slowly along the water's edge, keeping my eyes out for any sign of her body. Everything was silent, but I could hear my heartbeat from within my chest, it was slow, heavy and lifeless. I hated it; it was like a funeral drum coming from inside of me.

I thought back to the time when the storm had arrived out of nowhere.

Flashback

I ran back to our spot on the sand and quickly picked up Ally's stripy beach bag. I shoved my hand in, searching for anything that felt like elastic, but my hand didn't meet the thing I was searching for so I stuck my head in.

That was when I heard it, the low rumbling that came from the sky above me. I pulled my head out of Ally's bag and stared in shock at the dark grey sky, the clouds swirled and spiralled threateningly, on the brink of letting hundreds upon hundreds of rain drops smash down onto the people bellow.

I noticed how everything was silent apart from the occasional scream or cry that came from a child, everyone could feel the building tension and I looked over at Trish and Dez (who had managed to free himself from his surfboard although sand covered his mouth) who had a look of anticipation written across their faces, although I could see the fear in their eyes.

I stood their paralysed, Trish and Dez beside me, staring up at the blackened sky. No one was moving, everyone stood still, hypnotised by the heavens.

There was another roaring rumble, much more terrifying than the last, and that was when people started to move, slowly making their way towards the exit, afraid that if they make any sudden movements the storm would be on them quicker than a blink of an eye.

Whispering soon filled the air, only making the scene even more anxious. Butterflies were soaring around my stomach filling me with nerves, my heart was beating like crazy and I could feel the blood rush through my veins.

"BOOM!" A roar of thunder made me jump, my body now reacting to my brains scream of 'get out of here.' Then I remembered Ally was still in the water, I turned to Trish and Dez who now looked extremely worried.

"You guys pack this up quickly whilst I go and find Al..." But I was cut off by a flash of lightning and another;

"BOOM!" The thunder roared again causing many people to scream, it was now chaotic as the hundreds of people who had once been enjoying the sweet Sunday sunshine were now running madly to the parking lot, desperate to get off the beach. The rain which had been threatening to fall finally did, it was heavy and harsh against my skin and I was soaked in no time at all.

I fought and battled my way over to where I had left Ally but to no avail. People were running in all directions and they were sweeping me off with them.

"ALLY!" I yelled, but she hadn't heard, no one had heard. I was one teenage boy against hundreds of panic stricken people; my voice was nowhere near strong enough. I caught sight of the deadly ocean; a wave 10 foot tall was heading towards the sandy beach, and under its treacherous mouth was...

"ALLY!" I yelled again, I kicked and wiggled, trying to fight my way over to the petit brunette, but my attempts made no difference as the huge crowd continued their way over to the parking lot, as I was carried off with them.

End Of Flashback

My brain was determined on showing me my very last image of Ally as she stood there, facing the gigantic wave, her eyes closed. This puzzled me, why had she not run? Why was she facing out to see with her eyes tight shut?

I hadn't realised how far along the beach I had walked until I noticed the rocky cliffs right in front of me. My eyes scanned the rocky area, there was no sign of anyone or anything that was until I caught sight of a pale arm, pocking out of the rocks.

"Oh my God." I whispered under my breath, before tearing my way towards the arm. There was no doubt in my mind that this was Ally.

'Please still be alive. Please still be alive,' I repeated to myself. I scrambled over the rocks. As I reached the body my heart began to race and I instantly felt dizzy and suddenly very sick. My world shattered into a million tiny pieces, my breathing seemed to stop but my heart was beating quicker than ever. She couldn't be, I would not let her, I need her, not for my career, I need her by my side, I needed her with me, I could not live without Ally Dawson.

She was lying there, completely still and a pool of blood beside her head. She was lying on her side, her arm draped over a rock as if she had been flung there. Her eyes were closed and her hair was a little damp but she wasn't too wet.

I ran towards her and cradled her body in my arms; I did not stop the tears that were now flowing freely down my face. I held her tight refusing to let go, until something hit me, she was still warm. I put my head on her chest and I could only just make out the faint thump that was the heart beat of the girl that I love.

Another cliff-hanger; dun, dun, dun. So Austin just admitted to himself that he loves his music partner, whatever will happen next? I'm sorry it was so short; the next chapter will be short as well. R&R will be much appreciated and I gladly welcome plaudits and constructive criticism. Please don't be mean, just tell me how to improve. Also if there are any questions don't be afraid to ask.

- The next chapter will be Austin's POV again.
