I know how stories tradionally start with 'once upon a time', well i thought i would start mine differently. It was mid summer of 1998, southern california. The sun was shimering the warm blue sea caressing the scorching sand. I lay unconspiciously under my sun umberella in the collness of the shade. The usual malibu girl would be flashing every glimpse of skin on exotic beach, reaching to tan her mangnificant body to a golden ray. Though me i sit in sweatpants and a baggy t-shirt in the safety from ultraviolet rays and protection of the sun umberella. I had been on this terrible beach a dispicable 6 hours , watching the sun shift across the blue sky from east to west. I was trapped on the beach under guard of my mother, who sat on her deck chair cherishing every minute of daylight. I envied my friends back home . I was dreading every ounce of this holiday as much as the holiday brochure appealed to me. I had been dragged across the seas to spend quality time with my mother. 2 weeks in the 'lovely sun'. It wasn't just the sun it was everything. I missed the greenness, the serenety and isolation of the english countryside. Socailisation isn't really my thing. I slightly sat cheerfully as the sun started to decend into the west . The public groaned and children wined as they left the beach. I sat for hours in the darkness of the moonlight , even after my mother had left and retrieved her belonging heading for the apartment. I stared fasinated at the ripples of the water. I must of fallen a sleep or something jst remember being awaken much later and my eyelids slightly drooping. It was all silent apart from the swooshing of the wind and waves. Then suddenly, i thought i was dreaming at first or my head was just messing with me, a swish of blackness zoomed past me so fast messing my hair. It scared me for half a second , then realised i was dreaming. I went to close my eyes, then i saw it again stoping in front of me at the end of the shore. The silhoutte froze crouched facing away towards the sea. My heart thumpered loudly and his head snapped ,running towards me racing so quickly that before i could gasp or open my mouth to scream , his bold cold hand was clamping my mouth not feircly but gently.It was strange. My eyes wide as my pupils dilatingas i took in the beautiful sight of this man or boys face. It was icredibly smooth looking as if i just wanted to touch it, his eyes lighted as a blind man saw the sun for the first time. It was boyish looking though manly features of maturing ,like his jaw and nose were very bold. I hadn't seen anything like this before he wasn't ordinary more like angel like . The scariest thing was i could of swore i had seen him before , it was very familiar.Before i could see the light his head snapped up as if someone called his name. He gave me a childish grin , kissing me on the lips . His cool touch frightened me , like i had been tazered. An electric rush of adrenaline rushing through my vains. The mystery guy walked slowly backwards , still facing me , placing his hand to his lips as a silence sign. He waited for a response so i nodded quickly. He grinned childishly again flashing his bright, white, teeth. With one last glance he wisped like air again, vanishing into the depth darkness.
