A Perfect Storm

Chapter One

It was a wet and cold november night as 22 year old Travis Hogan was in a deep sleep when he was visited by his grandfather who had passed away the night prior, Travis was sitting in the family's garden when his grandfather sat next to him quietly. Richard looked at his grandson and started speaking in a serious tome of voice.

"Travis, my boy! Come to the garden and go to the pond, she is finally here. The woman I told you about in the stories I wrote for you when you were younger, the one with locks of blue hair. She needs help, all will be known in due time, I shall let your father know. Keep an eye on your mother when she is around her!" His grandfather stated as he stood up and looked back as Travis answered.

"Who is she grandpa? Why is she so important? What's mom and dad have to do with any of this?" Travis tried to grab his grandfathers hand as Richard embraced him in a tight hug.

"All will be known soon enough! Now go!!!! To the pond!!!" Travis shot up straight sweat pouring down his face as he runs to his back door, the rain was pouring down hard almost like hail but his grandfathers words and he raced to the pond. There, laying face down in the pond with wound on the back of her head was none other then Cassidy Marie Doyle. Travis jumped in the pond picking her up princess style in his arms as he yelled for someone to help. His father, twin brother, two older sisters Brandy and Maddie, and his two younger sisters Emma and Hannah. His father ran back inside grabbing a coat and a few umbrellas.

"Who the actual fuck is she and what is doing on our property?!" His brother Noah screamed amongst the rain. Travis was to stunned to answer, his dead grandfather came to him in his fucking dream telling him about this mystery woman, he looked over to his dad who nodded to him.

"Get her in the car I'll drive someone call your mother and tell her what has happened, Travis you come with me." Maddie yelled in a loud and deep voice.

"Stop!!!! And listen to me!!!" Her eyes went cloudy as her hair illuminated white, she pointed to her brother who was still holding Cassidy.

"Madison, sweetie? Are you okay, what are you seeing this time honey? Why are you pointing at the young lady?" Her father calmly walked his way through the rain to his daughter.
"Protect her at all cost, she's one of us! She will help the Hogan family be forever free!"  Madison falls forward as her father catches her.

"Noah take your sister inside and put her in bed I will take care of her when I get back. Girls go inside and help your brother and Travis you come with me son." He nodded but tightened his grip on Cassidy as his grandfathers words echoed in his head, he could feel her temperature rise fast.

"I'll get in the back seat with her, dad." His father shook his head as he answered.

"Both of you upfront we need to talk." While holding her Travis gets in the front seat and his dad starts driving to the hospital he owns with his wife.

"Did he come to you as well or did you just randomly stumble into the garden at 3 am?" His father broke the silent after a few minutes of driving, he noticed that Travis wasn't paying much attention to him but instead was making sure the young girl was coveed up good enough, "Trav!!!" This shook Travis out of la la land and back to reality.

"What?" He looked over at his dad still embracing her tightly.
"Did grandpa Richard come to you to? With him visiting us, this younger lady appearing in our pond and your sister vision I believe we have to do as he and your sister say and watch her. We have to make sure she feels like home, uh wherever that may be." Travis nodded before asking a question.

"Are we at the hospital yet she's burning up." His dad laughed at the sight of his son.

"You can calm down you know, don't hold her to tight you might hurt her! And yes we're here." By the time they reached the emergency room end of the hospital they ran inside with Travis still holding her and they were met a nurse.

"Doctor Lewis funny seeing you here-" She didn't even get a few words in before Lewis yelled.

"Get me a gurney now!!! I need IV fluids and a private room!!!" Travis was told to stay behind, as his grandfathers word echoed in his mind he sat down slowly drifting to sleep. Finally around 5 am they let him back where he fell back to sleep next to Cassie.
