A New Ranger

Chapter 1 (Glimpse into the Past)

The picture is of Alec,  Aria's brother

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 A young girl around the age of 15 runs over to a boat, holding a board and pulling up the zipper on her wet suit. She has shoulder length brunette hair, and dark brown eyes. She jumped into the boat, set her board down, and attacked a young boy around the age of 18. He had black hair and brown eyes. The man laughed as he caught her, and then pulled back to look at his sister. Well adopted sister, but they think of each other as siblings.

"Hey Ree, it's good to see you." He says as her ruffles the younger girls hair.

The girl gives her brother a fake glare as she tries to fix her hair. With a sigh she gives up and hugs her brother again.

"Alec! I'm so glad you're here. How long do you have before you go back?" She asks into her brother's shoulder.

Alec chuckles as he looks down at his sister, him being six foot, and her only being five foot eight inches.

"I only have three days. The general gave me a week leave, but it takes two days to get here, and two days to get back."

"Why such a short amount of time?" She asked as she sat down in a seat, to put on her bindings.

"Well I took a week's leave after the accident, so I only had a week left." Alec said as he started the boat.

"Oh right, forgot about that." She said with a sigh, as she felt the breeze of the ocean, calm her down. The ocean is one of the only places that Aria feels safe at. Alec and Aria, drove around for a while just talking, catching up, and then when Alec asked if she was ready. She got on her board and followed her heart. She did trick after trick, never falling, and a smile was on her face the entire time. The two siblings were out on the waves for hours, but when the sun started to set they knew they had to go in. Aria hopped back in the boat, and Alec drove them back to the beach.  Aria quickly changed out of her wet suit, and packed up her wakeboarding equipment. Grabbing her board, she passed her bag to her brother, who rolled his eyes at his sister, before walking to his car. Alec opened the door to the Topkick and smoothly climbed in. Unlike his sister who, clumsily fumbled into her seat. He hid his chuckles when he saw her glare. One thing that scared him was his sister's temper.

"Where to?" He asked as he started up the truck.

"I have to get a new pair of gloves for moto." She said as she thought about where she could get the supplies she needed. She had just moved to Blue Bay Harbor, from Turtle Cove, and didn't know the area very well. Thinking back to one of her classes she remembered a girl talking about a sports place called Storm Chargers.

"There's this place called Storm Chargers that should have what we need." Her brother typed the name into his GPS and the directions came up.

"It's only five minutes away. So how are you transitioning to living here?" Alec asked his sister, knowing she had trouble making friends. It wasn't because she was mean it was because she had a hard time trusting anyone, and she was a quiet person.

"It's okay, but I miss Turtle Cove." Aria said as she looked out the window, thinking back to all the friends she had left behind. But then she remembered why she had left and wasn't so sad anymore. The place would haunt her if she had stayed. Looking over at his sister he wrapped his arm around her, trying to give her the comfort he knew, she needed. The truck was silent after that, both thinking about what they had gone through, and where they are now. Two minutes later, Alec pulled into a parking lot in front of Storm Chargers.

"Well here we are." He said to his sister,  pulling her out of her memories. They opened their doors, hopped out of the Topkick, and walked inside the store.
