Chapter 1
In this world life -at times- is not fair and for Alex Heather it was exactly that. He was abandoned in the footsteps of Destin, Florda's finest orphanage. He was constantly being picked on by the other kids and even the staff but what could he do the orphanage was his only home. At age fourteen he doubted anyone would want to adopt him and when someone did he would stay in his room waiting for them to leave knowing he would be there for four more years even more but life was about to take a turn for the better for young Alex and this time he might find the family he's always wanted.
It was a very warm summer day and Alex had been invited to play volleyball with some of the kids from his school. He wasn't very good at it but he mine as well try. His team was losing but they were only one point behind which meant if the ball came towards him and he hit it over the net and onto the ground his team would win. He watched as the other team served, back and forth the ball went until finally it flew towards the back where Alex was standing. He saw it was going a little farther over his head and he ran back and just as the ball got to him he hit it as he fell.
He sat up in the pile of sand and saw that he had hit the ball but not hard enough it had landed just in front of the net.
"Alex you dip shit what was that!" yelled Brian, the team captain.
He walked over and kicked Alex in the side -making him fall back down- then he pressed his right foot onto his chest and glared down at him.
"Alex why don't you just go home.....oh that's right you don't have one!" he yelled out laughing so everyone could hear.
Something came over Alex he pushed his foot off his chest then got up and punched him in the jaw making Brian fall back that time.
"The fuck?" he said as he saw Alex walking back into town.
He rushed back to the orphanage and without stopping opened the doors and ran up to his room. When he got there he pulled out a suitcase he had gotten a few months ago.
"They don't want me here fine they won't see me ever again."
He packed up all his shirts and pants and whatever else he had. He took all his money from his bank and shoved it into his pocket. Once he was all packed he opened the window -that was just above the ground- and jumped out.
"Heh see ya later."
He was glad he would never have to live at that place ever again now all he needed was a boat. He looked around until he saw the shipyard that was just down the street. He grabbed his suitcase and started running hoping no one would catch him.
The cost for one ticket was fifty dollars exactly and lucky for Alex he had just that amount. He handed the captain his ticket and sat down looking around as he waited for the boat to set sail.
"No more teachers, no more orphanage, no more Brian, I think I'm going to like this new life.
Not long afterwards the horn went off and they set sail. Later that night Alex was having a very strange dream, he was on an island filled with strange creatures but they didn't want to hurt him they wanted to help him. He was awoken by thumping footsteps on the wooden floor. He opened the door to his cabin and looked outside to see people loaded in the wooden side boats. They dropped down without seeing him but he was curious why they were leaving. He walked around the other side and there it was a twenty to thirty foot tsunami was headed right his way. He ran as fast as he could to the other side to see if they would still be below but they were gone. He closed his eyes and waited for the worst. The wave crashed into the boat tearing it to pieces and sending Alex flying through the air and into the water.
