Chapter 1
By:dragonflysky
Elie walked quietly to the dock. She was waiting for something. She had been doing the same thing for a year now. Only, she wasn't sure who or what she was waiting for. She remembered the day when Kairi came rowing in late one night. She sat off the edge of the dock and sat thinking.
Flashback
Like every night, Elie walked down to the dock to wait. She couldn't quite grasp whom it was exactly that she was waiting for. She had never found what she was looking for much to her surprise. As she walked down to the dock, she took time to acknowledge the night. Shining brightly, the crescent moon towered over the sleeping town. There was a gentle breeze coming from the ocean. She walked she glanced at the dock but went down to the waters edge instead. She took off her sandals and put them in a safe spot where they wouldn't get wet. She carefully laid them on a large rock sitting on near the water.
She walked down the beach a little bit. She marveled at how the moon hit the water. She walked close the water and stopped. Elie shivered slightly as splashed her feet. She stood there for a moment or two then headed back toward the large rock.
As she approached she notice someone was already there. Elie stood back incase the person might have intended to do her harm. She cautiously and quietly walked closer. She could now tell that the person was a girl and had reddish brown hair cut short.
Now sure the girl couldn't do her much harm, she approached. It's… no it can't be she thought moving closer. And to her surprise, it was. Kairi sat on the rock staring out at the island.
"Kairi," yelled Elie as she ran to her friend. Kairi was only a little older than her. Kairi looked her way and then smiled. She waved as Elie approached.
"Where have you been?" Asked Elie panting. Kairi looked at her thoughtfully for a minute. She opened her mouth to say something. But the words wouldn't come to her. Finally she just sighed and said, "I don't remember." It was said so quietly that Elie could barely hear. But Kairi smiled, got up, and left leaving a clueless and confused Elie at the rock.
End Flashback
Elie now sat on the rock where she saw Kairi. But her mind still puzzled at what Kairi had said later.
Flashback
Kairi walked slowly as if she was in deep thought. All of a sudden, she turned to face Elie.
"What did everyone think that year or so I was gone?" she asked her questioningly. Elie just looked at her.
"You had only been gone for like a week," said Elie slightly laughing. "You must have hit your head or something." Kairi looked at the moon.
Elie heard her mutter something about darkness but didn't dwell on it. They quietly walked on in silence.
End Flashback
While Elie was reminiscing, she didn't notice herself wander away from the rock. She was now in the middle of town. But she still was unaware as she was caught up in her own thoughts.
Which also means she didn't notice the boy that was standing ahead of her until she had already hit him. As she started to fall backwards, the boy reached out and grabbed her hand. She froze there, being held up by the boy.
He had brown hair with some natural highlights to it. He was wearing a black outfit with a lot of pockets. He was tall and muscular, like he had been traveling a while. He had a soft smile. She blushed sheepishly.
"Sorry," she muttered quietly. But he just smiled.
"Oh well," he said softly, "are you ok?" She just nodded. He smiled once more, turned, and walked off. She just stared at him as he left. But she thought she heard him yell
"Bye Elie," off in the distance.
"Bye," she said quietly. She headed for home but one question remained. Who was he?
Well, that took longer to write. Tell me if you like. I'll try to write the next chapter soon.
