Chapter 1 - First Impressions aren't always the greatest

Gasping for air and coughing out disgusting salt water wasn't a good way to start my day. After that small panic for my dear life, I didn't know it was going to be worse than that.

The warm and soft sand underneath me, my clothes were drenched and wrecked like I just have been through a terrible storm or something even worst. I don't even know, I'm serious about that. It's not that I'm too lazy to actually think about it, it's just that I don't really know. Like, everything was disappeared from my mind. Like, POOF! Gone! Like, everything. My memories . . . and I don't even know my own age . . . or even my own parents . . . or even my own name. That's scary, not knowing your own past.

The sound of the ocean waves crashing were really peaceful, I wish I can just . . . lay here and . . . just die listening to the peaceful sound. Peace. That's what I like.

Sitting up, I came across 3 people in the distant while looking for resources and still sitting on the ground. They look like they were running toward me. I panic, what if they are enemies? What if they are going to use me as an item? Like a lure to get someone? Or, a punching bag if someone is really enraged and they really want to hurt someone?

I watched the 3 distanced shadows coming closer, they stopped running and stay still. They studied me from a comfortable distance for me and them, they stopped and it looks like they were planning something. They must've noticed that I saw them, and they must be making up a plan to capture me without a bad fight. I don't even have anything to defend myself with . . . I can throw these pebbles at them. Maybe it can damage their eyes, that's a good plan. Maybe these twigs as well, stick and stones sounds like a great plan.

Studying my area, to make sure I make the right moves. I made a mental line, so if the people step over the line, I will not hesitate to attack them. I looked around, to see if I have anything to defend myself with. Then, I noticed something sticking out of the beach sand. It was red item and small type of lenses on it as well. Maybe they were glasses, a feeling inside of me knew that they belong to me.

I stretched my arms to get the glasses, because I wanted to be lazy and sit still until I fully know what's really going on. The glasses had sand stuck on it, grabbing the sleeve of my sweater/shirt. I dusted off the remaining sand off of the red glasses, and I noticed a bit of writing.

'CaptainSparklez.'

It said, maybe that's my name? CaptainSparklez was a weird name, who would even name their child that? Maybe some messed up parents. I really do wonder how messed up my parents are . . .

I heard footsteps, without any hesitation, I put on the glasses and looked up the company.

From the last I saw the bunch, I saw 3 people. And now, there's 5. Maybe they have to get more people to back them up? Or what this a ruse? Maybe there are more people and these 5 coming toward me were just going to distract me and the others are going to capture me? They passed my mental line, as soon they passed it, I grabbed a hold full of pebbles and stood up. I'm not going down without a fight, they don't look frighten. They look a bit amused of my actions, they took another step forward and the pebbles in my hand turned into . . . a bow? A wooden bow with a quite a lot of arrows scrapped around my back. I looked at the 5's reactions, their reactions were like my. Actually not really, they seem a bit envy and a bit worried. While, I was a bit surprised and a bit confused.

A feeling inside of me, knew that they were jealous or even envy of me. They did not look impressed by my impression of going to attack them. I feel the feeling of hatred from the 5, I didn't know who exactly but I'm actually scared of who they were.
