Heya, I've updated this chapter using all the wonderful reviews I received- which I'm really grateful for! It's my first time story :-) and I sincerely hope you enjoy it! The way I've had to do it, is the only way possible- I can't have spaced out paragraphs, otherwise it goes all weird as you all know- so I'm sorry about that.
Thank you, please review! x

Silence. Utter silence. This superb silence. Hmm... I drank in the beauty of it all, the peaceful serenity it possessed. Its selfless nature, I was so at peace. A wave of contentment coursed through me. I could feel the sun beating down on my face, its rays tenderly kissing my cheeks; the wind gracefully, tingling my lips; some kind of rock forms wedged into my back, massaging soothingly my skin. Natural, free therapy I humorously mused- why ever waste money on beauty therapy? I smiled at my private joke. I was so relaxed, resting in that strange stage of semi-consciousness. I didn't want to wake. I lay now in blissful silence: my past, my present, and my future irrelevant. I never wanted this silent peaceful haven to end, but I could feel my body wakening and absorbing new details regarding the world around me. I didn't want to- I just wanted to ignore the world around me, but my brain had other plans. I could feel the pressure building up as my brain gathered momentum- waking up from oblivion. I closed my eyes tighter. Please just five more minutes! Please. My brain ignored me, and I was almost fully awake- I knew it would be only moments before I had to open my eyes and be unleashed maliciously into reality. The world was a cruel, cruel place. However much I wanted to ignore the present, it just wasn't plausible. I couldn't ignore the pressing stacks of questions building up. Where was I? Why was I lying in rocks? What were these noises? What happened? What...what was my name?
What was my name? You have got to be kidding me? Oh dear, this was bad. I must have banged my head real hard, for this to happen. What- did I trip over my own feet again! Oh man, how embarrassing I moaned. I must have been lying here for a long time. I could feel my heart gradually wake up and thud violently. Fear gripped me- and I felt it take over my whole body. My heart palpitated uncontrollably; sweat seeped through me drenching all in its fearless path. Fear- complete fear took hold. I shivered, and tried to refocus. My body felt strange- I feared what I would see if and when I opened my eyes...would there be blood? Oh no- urgh, I couldn't handle that now. But I couldn't smell any... and I didn't feel like I was bleeding. I just felt weird- out of place. I wanted to recapture control of my body from this foreign invasion. What was happening to me? Who was I and why was I so afraid? There was a gentle heave and crash sound in the background; a harsh yet peaceful sound, lolling my limp body back into a deeper surrender of its wishes- back to unconsciousness. My body yearned to shut down. But, I felt as if I was ignoring something vital. Oh man, I couldn't even remember my name... Gemma? Nope. Rose? Nope. Leila? Nope. I signed this would take a while, nothing felt right. My happiness had shattered- I felt so alone.
It was like my body couldn't face what had happened, and just wanted to lay in this quite ignorant bliss forever. Sleep was my guard- it took me away and I wanted it now more than ever. Wait, why would my body want to protect me? What from? I knew I was about to find something out I'd rather not know; I sensed it in the tense atmosphere, and smelt it with the salty air. I didn't want to, but my ever curious brain edged on- trying to decipher clues out of the hazy mess blocking my path to realisation. The peaceful sea like sound continued to heave and to crash; disregarding my internal war, as if adding to the climax. Heave. Crash. Heave. Crash. Heave, crash, heave! crash! My heart beat harmoniously with the orchestral waves- both acquiring speed as I made my way out of this strange limbo; as the sounds became clearer I felt my senses become more enlightened conquering the lulling quality of the waves. Gradually other smells and noises reached my wary noise and ears- I could hear things far in the distance with such lucidity. It took me aback. Suddenly, everything came into focus. And I gasped reflexively at the sheer clarity my senses possessed. Wow- coconut, lime, freesia- salty water! It was like going in to a perfume store- the scents exceedingly powerful burned the insides of my nostrils. The mixture of wondrous scents in that eccentrically mundane, yet unique concoction took my breath away. It livened up all my senses, vanishing all my fear. I was ready to face whatever was to come. My curious brain beat my protective body.
And I gently opened up my eyes...
