This one's for all the lovely, lovely people who reviewed- I wasn't going to update for a while, but I re-read them and was like; "You know what? I'll write a quick chapter now.".
So I did. It's short, but it's something.
Chapter One
I can't remember how old I was when I first felt the pull.
I must have been young, a mere child, baby even, when I first heard it. I used to reach out for the glittering expanse of water, try to pull myself out of my mother's arms, long to just fall into that sparkling water.
She used to laugh about it, how I seemed to love the sea more than I loved the land, how I should really be a little fish, instead of a girl. When I was a little older, I used to run down the sands on my little chubby legs, laughing with delight when the waves washed around my legs. It used to make my mum laugh too; she was always proudly telling everyone what a water-baby I was.
I remember when I was six- we went down to Porthmeor beach with the school. Mrs Andean nearly had a fit; everyone made jokes for ages about how I caused her retirement at the end of the year.
We were meant to be exploring the rock pools, searching for different types of sea weed and sea creatures. Innocent enough. But I somehow managed to mess everything up. I can't even remember how I ended up climbing along the line of rocks stretching out into the sea. They were calling my name, shouting for me to come back, but I didn't even hear them. It was only when the lifeguard managed to clamber out after me and pull me back to shore, that I reacted.
"Screaming and kicking like a wild-cat she was," Mrs Andean told my mum, "she went totally crazy!"
I didn't mean to. All I knew then was that I had to get to the sea. Because something wanted me. It was calling my name.
I know this was short, but the next one will be longer! I promise! Blame my mum; I wanted to update, but she's making me go to bed. So, hopefully the next chapter will be up soon! Oh, and can I do a little bit of self-advertising, and say that I've got another Ingo Fic up which is currently called 'High Tides'?
I will try and update soon,
Love Sapphy
