I was born on a world with one large island. That's it. Just one island and the rest water. Don't get me wrong the water was gorgeous. Blue with that crystal like effect. Plus living near the volcano gave it all that tropical air. My family was a water family and lived near the ocean.

I had two sisters. One who was older than I was, and had been born with the power of electricity. There was a small portion of the water population that was born electric instead and she was one. Then I had a younger sister Ally. Ally was sweet cute and adorable. She went everywhere with me. We were attached at the hip nearly. However, my relationship, or there lacking of one, with my older sister Lexi consisted of nothing but cruel words and fights.

I would always take Ally to the beach and we would participate in out favorite past time, surfing. I loved surfing then, and still do. I wish I could say I was the best but the best have come and gone, and I was not one of them.

The surfing there was fabulous. Giant waves, tunnels, it was practically an all you can surf buffet. Besides, with beaches this size there was limitless room it seemed for everyone to surf.

The breeze was perfect too. Always. I figured it always had to do with the fact that everyone one ride motorcycles. There isn't really a need for cars. They seemed somewhat over-rated.

I grew up the traditional way. Learning how to dance, and sing. Perform the appropriate jobs and chores. The only thing that made my family even remotely special was that my sister was electric. But even that is more common now.

There really isn't much t say about my childhood. I was a basic kid. Just, you know average. I watched my little sister, fought the older one, and rebelled against my parents in my teen years. Actually, nothing exciting happened until my teen years.

When I was fifteen, I got a job with my best friend Alex at the local restaurant.

Alex lived near the volcano. Her family was of the fire group. She had bright red hair and two older brothers. But they had moved to another city and we rarely saw them. Though every time they came to town they scared plenty of boys. Alex was one of ten girls with perfect dark tan skin. Her body was in dreamily good shape because she was a fire dancer to. She drove the boys wild, but never gave any one of them the time of day. In her opinion, they were just stupid drooling mongrels.

Anyway, we worked at the same restaurant. The two of us preformed songs together, and when she did her fire dancing, I was always a waitress. Alex was extremely flexible. She drove the crowds nuts with her moves.

When we were not performing, we were hanging at the beach. Alex wrote music while I surfed and thought up new songs.

The only major event's I can remember were the death of Keahi, Alex's brother's best friend, and the disappearance of her brother. But those are part of Alex's story not mine.

But like they say. All good things must come to an end. And our gig did. One night some guys cornered us and would not leave us alone. While we tried to ditch them, my little sister, Ally, wandered into the street. For some reason one of the shipping companies truck was on the road that night. I merely glanced to see if Ally was still by my side. Instead of being right next to me, she was out in the street, and the truck was headed directly for her. I pushed past the guys that had been taunting us, and ran after Ally. Alex noticed what was happening and tried to save me and Ally both. Between Alex and I, we managed shove Ally off the road. But the truck caught both Alex and me. Its force had snapped my spinal cord and shattered most of my torsos bones. All my internal organs were Swiss cheese from the broken pieces. The truck only clipped Alex but when she fell to the ground some of her shattered bones punctured her lungs. Someone managed to tear Ally of her as the tried to save her. For some reason to which I am uncertain, I heard someone scream. Several voices spoke words like what is it, and oh my god. I heard panicked feet running, and a sound I was unfamiliar with following them and coming towards me. Suddenly everything went dark and cold. I thought I was experiencing death. But I would learn soon enough that I was not.
