Bravest Child

Chapter 1

The car comes to a screeching stop. Sam parks the car and opens the door. The sweet salty smell of the Pacific ocean fills his nose and he can't help but smile wide at the faded but still loved memories of he and Quinn surfing those exact waters many years ago. 

"If your done daydreaming Sam I think we can get our stuff out" Laughs Astrid as she steps out of the car and goes into Sam's arms. 

Perdido Beach has officially become a livable place again, the radiation is 100% gone, there is no unnatural danger, and most importantly, there is no radiation monster bent on killing the entire human race. Yes everything is finally getting back to how Sam always wanted it, living with the girl of his dreams in the town that brought them together. 

"When's Quinn and Lana coming" asked Astrid,

"Tomorrow I think, they had to take Harley to the Doctors again because he broke his leg" says Sam with a laugh.

"And Edilio and Roger? When will they be here?" 

"Next week, they're still in Africa adopting their baby".

All of the people from Perdido Beach lived relatively close together, sure after the FAYZ, many of their families moved them away, but they all managed to find each other again.

There is the sound of the car door opening and two scrawny legs step out onto the road.

"Where is everyone Dad? I thought you said this place would be packed". 

Sam smiles wide at her. His daughter. Brianna Dekka Temple, named after the two bravest girls Sam had ever known. Brianna, or the Breeze as she preferred to be called had lost her life to the horrors the FAYZ had caused. Brianna is 16 now (they had her very young) and looks exactly like her Mother, but has her Fathers spirit and love of surfing. Like both her parents, Brianna has long blond hair and stunning blue eyes, she's Tall but thin. Both Sam and Astrid had worried for their daughters life up until her 16 Birthday, the reason, Brianna never really knew. But all she knows is that every Birthday up until then was filled with not so much cheer and smiles, but more anxiety and tears.

"Don't worry Brianna, everyone will get here in time, were early". 

She nods and looks out to Perdido Beach. She knows the story of what happened here, knows that her Mother and Father were two of the main people who had kept hundreds of young kids alive, she knows about the supernatural powers the some of the people (including her own Father) had possessed and even who used them for good, who used them for evil, and who didn't know what to do. Okay maybe not every horrific detail of what her parents, Aunts, and Uncles had to do were told to her, but she knows enough to understand why her parents wake up some nights screaming. The cemetery is still there, still untouched from anyone who traveled through these roads. Brianna walks over to one of the last graves that were put there. She drops down onto her kneed, takes a small flower from the ground and places it on her aunt Brianna's tomb stone. Sam walks up behind her, puts his arm around his daughter and sighs.

"Welcome home Brianna"
