                         THE BEGINNING 

I watched in horror as the raging storm had no mercy on our ship. The strong ocean beneath my feet was creating a huge wave in every direction as it took the ship to its breaking point. It was becoming darker and the stars slowly disappeared leaving our fate to the gigantic bitting gales that arose from the ocean accompanied with the anger of the sky releasing heavy crystal like downpour on us. 

The electrifying lighting zipping across the night sky created a flash so bright that I could actually see death in its raw form 

So this is it... This is really the end I thought 

I clung tighter to my mom and she wrapped her hands around me in a protective way and her warm embrace somehow made the fear go away. My mind went back to everything that happened in the last 2 years and I instantly felt sorry for everything I did and said..... What happened that night wasn't their fault... It really isn't. I just needed someone to blame for everything and now I regret it. I sniffed quietly as tears threatened to spill from my eyes. I guess she felt my pains because she held on to me tighter and she used her right arm to place gentle pats on my head.

"Everything will be fine, it's just a bad dream" she said in a reassuring tone 

"I'm sorr.... " A loud bang on the metal cabin door interrupted me before I could finish my sentence  

Mom instantly let go of me and rushed to the door to open it. A man walked in with a worried expression on his face 

"Dad" I called out silently 

He looked in my direction and forced a smile but I can tell something is wrong, very wrong 

He looked away and took my mom's hand leading her away to the other end of the room 

They started a conversation I assumed was very serious because of their body language...it surely made her nervous. She kept fiddling with her ring and blinking rapidly 

After a few seconds they stopped talking and walked in my direction 

They stopped right in front of me and mom went down on her knees. She took my cold small hands in hers and took in a deep breath. 

"My little Morningstar"  she said moving her hand from my head down to my chin. Her eyes were clouded with tears nad she blinked rapidly to stop them from falling. Somehow, a part in me already knows what's about to happen 

"You're leaving" I said almost in a whisper 

Her eyes widened and the tears flowed down her cheeks freely... She answered with a nod and held my hands tighter. 

Again?... I knew they had a good reason to leave but I still felt mad at them. Not now... Not when I need them the most 

I yanked my hand away from hers and folded them around my legs in a sulking position 

"Just go!!!... Leave just like you always do" I blurted out

"My morn....." Dad placed his hands on moms shoulders berofe she could finish and I guess that was the sign that it was time to leave 

She stood up and walked to the cabin door leaving dad behind 

He looked at me with a straight face and tried to show no emotions but i see through him, he's scared just like everyone else. He removed ring on his index finger and looked straight at me 

"Take this" he said stretching out his ring to me 

I hesitated for a while before reaching out to it. The family crest was on it and he always wore it since I knew him.

"Te amamos mi niño" he said and with that, he turned to leave 

Cuándo vas a volver, papá? I said 

He stood still for a while without saying anything... His silence broke me 

" Please don't leave, I promise to be good... Prometo ser bueno papá " I said hugging him from behind 

He turned to me and gently raised my chin up to him 

"Be strong my boy... Always remember BE STRONG"

"BE BOLD... I CAN PUSH THROUGH" I said and he wiped my tears with his thumb

He walked to the door and joined my mom at the other side they both looked straight at me for a while before closing the heavy metal door and locked it

Mama...papa I screamed 

I ran to the door and banged on it as hard as my tiny hands could but it was in vain 

The ship suddenly tilted to one side forcing me to fall over. I Rolled over and banged my head on a hard object. 

My eyes felt heavy and my vision became blurry... I tried to crawl to safety but I blanked out immediately.

I woke up to the feeling of the cold ocean water on my skin. I slowly opened my eyes and I could swear that I saw a girl holding me. She held on to me while swimming towards the surface of the sea. My eyes trailed down her body and I couldn't believe my eyes.... Was I still unconscious? .... She had a tail instead of legs and wait a minute..... I can breath underwater.... The girl noticed I was awake and turned her head to me... Her eyes were different... White but also looked blue... I can't quite explain it... She smile and waved her hands over my face and I blacked out again.

Am I dead? 

Is this what death feels like? 

or is this all a bad dream like mamá said

GASP!!!!!!

I woke up again to the sound of gentle waves splashing around the edge of the earth. ohhh.... that glorious feeling, the feeling of the sun gracefully placing a kiss on my pale and cold skin.... I gently opened my eyes. it was blurry at first but is slowly became clearer giving me a perfect view of the ocean.

"THE OCEAN" I screamed and tried quickly move away from it but I felt a striking pain on the left corner of my head

"Arrrrrr... I screamed in pain and rested my head on the wet shore. After a few seconds of trying to subdue the pain, it relieved me a bit and I was able to sit up right.

"The storm" I said realizing it wasn't a dream

it wasn't a nightmare like mamá said.

I sniffed and let the tears drop freely.... I didn't get to tell them how much I love them.

"The ring" I suddenly remembered... "papá's ring* I said worriedly searching for it... it took a few seconds for me to realize that it was on my index finger but I don't remember putting it there.... I blacked out and..... and... I saw...

I hurriedly stood up and started searching for God knows what.

"she.. she help me" I said in almost a whisper

"hey... boy!!!" a man shouted from a distance jotting me out of my thoughts.

he wore old rugged pants with no shirts and a fishing net around his shoulders, he also had no shoes on. he walked closer to me and I took a few steps back.

"Hey... are you okay?" he said again reaching out to me. I suddenly felt faint and very dizzy. I staggered for a few seconds before collapsing on the cold wet ground.

"Hey!!!!... Over here...help . help" I heard in faint voices before I finally went dark.
