Luke sat on beach, thinking over the dreams he had last week. It was the same one from the other week. Two voices running away from something, but what? He didn't know those people and it couldn't have been his parents. They died in a shipwreck and Luke had to raise Sofia by himself. "Hey! If you think too hard your brain will explode!" A familiar voice said behind him. It was Opal , his best friend and closets one too. She plopped down next to him and sighed. "I can see smoke coming out of your ears, why are you thinking so hard?" She asked pretending to blow smoke away from his head. Luke grinned and faced her. "Just wondering about these dreams I'm having." Opal placed her arm over his shoulder. "I'm all ears. Besides, I could use a good story." She laid down and smiled. "Fire away."
For the past 10 minutes, Luke explained everything in his dream. The voices, Clara, Darien, everything. When he finished, Opal sat up and rested her chin on her hand and thought. "Could just be a random dream." She said and gazed at him. His chocolate brown hair shimmered in the light and the emeralds that laid in his eyes, twinkled. Then her phone rang and a text from her mom came up. "Sorry, gotta go." She groaned and stood up, wiping the sand off her pants. "oh, ok." He smiled and watched her walk away in the distance.
Luke laid down and closed his eyes to think.
------------------------------------
Someone was calling him. It was midnight and Luke woke up to the sounds of a melodic voice. He looked out the window but saw no one there. Quietly, he slipped out of bed and quickly tip toed downstairs. He opened the door, not knowing how much noise he made, and ran to the water. The voice started getting louder and oddly familiar. When he reached shore, a female figure appeared and she was calling him. "Luke, return to your haven and live with your own kind." She said singing and dove underwater. Was she went underwater, she made a huge splash and Luke could see a tail.
Luke rubbed his eyes and shook his head. "That's not a-" he said gasping and without thinking, he took off his shirt and socks abd dive in the water. "Wait! Who are you?" He asked choking on water. He felt tinglely and felt in pain but ignored it. When he finally spotted the girl, he was close enough to get a glimpse at her. He gasped when he saw her face. That's just it, she had no face. It was like she was a ghost. "You belong here." The girl said and vanished. Luke shook his head and then remembered, he was in water. Farther than usual. This area of the ocean was dangerous and he once almost drowned. As he was swimming back to shore, he felt a bit of pain in his leg and couldn't move. "HELP!" He yelled and his head went under....
