Disclaimer: I do not own Harvest Moon or any of its characters. This story, however, is mine.
Prologue: Alone
I find myself wandering,
Constantly turning.
And I soon realize,
I am alone.
I found myself shipwrecked on this town's shores. A typhoon had passed through as I was going to visit my family in Mineral Town. Little did I know how cruel fate had been to me....
Chapter 1: The News
I awoke two days later and found myself in a white bed. I was very confused because, at the time, I had a very high fever. When I awoke a young woman with short brown hair walked up to me. She seemed to be wearing a blue dress with a white apron, but, as sick as I was, I couldn't tell.
"Oh dear! Miss, you are still very ill. You need to rest...." she said to me.
Another two days later my fever had subsided, and I was able to have some stew. "Where am I?" I asked when I had finished.
"You are in Mineral Clinic, miss." the young woman replied.
"You mean I'm in Mineral Town?!" I said, shocked.
"Yes," she replied.
"What is your name, anyway?" I asked.
"It's Elli. Can you tell me yours?" she replied.
"My name is....Skye. Just Skye. My family.... I came here to see them." I said in reply.
When I said this she looked surprised, then downcast. "Oh, well that's nice...."
Later that day I left. When I reached my destination, I learned my cruel fate. I saw the farm in its worst condition. There were no animals or people to be heard of. The house left me shocked. To fix it, it would need to be reduced to a shack. The field was covered in weeds, sticks, stones, and boulders. I guess the mayor saw me as I was standing there.
"Are you their daughter?"he asked.
"The people who live here...yes," I replied, white as a sheet.
"Oh, well....I have some very, very sad news for you." he said with a downcast expression. I was too shocked at the time to reply. "The typhoon....It came up suddenly and, well....They're dead. I'm sorry. The funeral is later today," he said and walked off. When he was gone I fell to my knees and broke down. This was too much, too fast.
A/N: I'll add another chapter if I can get at least 10 reviews. I'm hoping that my chapters will get longer. I had a little case of writer's block...
