Waves

INTRODUCTION - LOST DREAMER'S COVE
Waves lapped at the soft sand, washing away the depressions left by the feet of those that were strangers to the cove. The air smelled of saltwater, a cool breeze blowing over the tropical forest behind the small area. The leaves glistened with water, the sun's light making them glitter. All was silent until a loud shriek could be heard.

"Run!" someone spat, the sound of crunching leaves following. A person was shoving branches out of his way, three others following behind not too far from the boy, who appeared to be thirteen or fourteen.

"Hurry! It's gaining on us!" a young girl yelled, swerving around a tree trunk with beetles crawling in and out of it. After she spoke, a faint, high-pitched yowl could be heard along with the growling of some sort of creature.

A pitch black bird perched on a branch, watching the chase. A young leopard was chasing after them, but wasn't too big to kill. The bird let out a caw, spreading its wings and leaping into flight, abandoning the humans.

"Dangers, dangers!" it called. "I sees dangers!" A storm of black birds rose from the trees and into the air.

"Danger!" they all called one after another like a swarm of bees, the flock turning their heads to a ship in the distance.

CHAPTER ONE - SURPRISE ATTACK
"Why'd we take the boat anyway?" a girl with long, very dark brown hair said. "We could've just flew here."

"It'd be too expensive, Dusty," another young girl said in response, a hand brushing through her short, brownish hair. "The boat ride wasn't much."

"Hush, Foxy," another said. "Dusty's right. It'd be too expensive."

"Aw, come on Popplio!" 'Foxy' said frowning. "Flying is fun!"

"Taylor, do not call me Popplio. I know I'm the only person ever to like that Pokémon, but I'd prefer to be called by my initial nickname, Tech," she said. "And where's my dog? ROXIE!"

A black chiweenie with a white underbelly darted over, running up to Tech, tail wagging madly. She picked up her dog, avoiding her attempts to lick her. She held the small dog in her hands, scratching its head.

"Why'd you bring your dog?" Dusty asked. "Shouldn't she be at your house still?"

"Nah, I wanted to take her with me. Roxie's a good dog."

A loud rumble shook through their bodies, the others on the boat taking their attention to the sky. Another loud roar erupted from the sky, and they felt it this time. "Oh boy," Tech said, "we're in for a wild ride."

A lot of shouting could be heard as dark clouds began to roll in. The ship began to turn.

"We're heading to the island? Lost Dreamer's?" Foxy gasped, holding onto the side of the boat with the other two. "We'll be stuck for days!" Tech nodded, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I have healing cream that my nana made."

Before she knew it, rain began to pour down. Tech held her dog close to her, nearly stumbling over as waves rocked the ship. "I knew we should've taken the airplane instead of this pirate-based ship!" she shouted. The shouting grew louder as the waves grew stronger. Water soaked their clothes as a large wave reached over the side of the ship. Tech ran the other way, still holding her beloved pet.

A loud crack went through the air as they caught the sight of the island in view, along with a swarm of some sort of black creatures. The birds- which were ravens- began to swarm in, diving like missiles at random people on the boat. Tech still held her dog, who was whining miserably. Foxy let out a scream as a raven landed in her hair, but fell into the water as the boat began to sink.

Crash!
