Chapter 1

"New Beginning"



"Hello everyone my name is Alex Hether im 14 with long black hair and blue eyes, and welcome to my world. My life had been dreadful up to a certain point, my parents had abbandoned me as a baby on the footsteps of an old orphanage and there I have remained till now. This is the story of how my life took a very strange turn for the better and how I met the family I have always wanted. Im turning the story over to the narrator so see you guys later".


It was a pretty hot day in Destin, Florida and Alex was outside playing volleyball on the beach with people that didn't really like him...smart huh. It was the last serve of the game and Alex was ready to show everyone what he was made of. As the ball wen't over the net he jumped up but he couldn't quite reach it and it slipped right over his fingers. He fell to the ground with a hard thump.

"Wow you really suck at the game don't you Hether". said Duke , the bully of the beach.


"Why don't you just go home, oh thats right you don't have one".


Everyone started laughing as Alex got up and started running towards the orphanage. He ran and ran never stopping and never looking back. When he opened the door he ran inside and ran up the stairs and into his room.


"If they don't want me here so be it". he said getting his suitcase out of the closet and packing clothes and such into it.


After he packed he grabbed his backpack and packed it full of snacks and such until it was full. Once all his packing was done he climbed out the window and carefully slid down the drain pipe still he was safely on the ground. The boat yard wasn't far so he could probably make it in time for the next ferry. He started running down the street never looking back at his old home.


He ran for about ten minutes until he saw the shipyard and at the front was the ferry. He pulled out some money so he could board and handed it to security and the bar was raised which allowed him to pass. He ran onto the boat and settled on a bench in the middle of the deck. He looked out over his old home for one last time then waved goodbye.


Alex was so glad to finally be away from that hell hole that he called a life now he could start a new and maybe find a new family in the process. The hours seemed to go by very quickly and before he knew it the sun had gone down. He decided it was time to catch some Zs so he used his backpack as a pillow and laid down on the deck and not long afterwards he finally fell asleep.


The sound of the ocean made him stay asleep that was until he heard the yells of the captain.


"Tidal wave, everyone get on a raft and paddle as fast as you can"! he yelled getting in the first raft. Alex awoke with a start at the sound of heavy footsteps pounding on the deck. Everyone had loaded into the five rafts but Alex had no idea why.


"Why are you all in there theres no storm headed our way"? he asked the people.


Then one of them pointed behind him then dropped the raft and started paddling.


"Whats there to be afraid of...".


But when he looked behind him he saw it a tidal wave about ten feet higher then the boat and it was almost to the boat itself. Alex started running towards the railing but it was to late the tidal wave hit the boat and sent Alex overboard threw the air and into the water.
