The Outer Banks, Paradise on Earth. It's the sort of place where you either have two jobs or two houses. Two tribes, one island. All right, so this is Figure Eight, the rich side of the island. Home of the Kooks. So, guess where we don't live. And then, this is the south side or the Cut. Home of the working class who make a living busing tables, washing yachts, running charters. The natural habitat of drumroll, please... the Pogues. That's us. Pogues, Pogies, the throwaway fish. Lowest member of the food chain. Okay, so the downside of Pogue life is we're ignored and neglected. But, the upside of Pogue life? We're ignored and neglected, which means we do whatever we want, whenever we want.
That's JJ, my best friend since the third grade. He's about as local as they come. Latest in the long line of fishing, drinking, smuggling, vendetta-holding salt-lifers who made their living off the water. Best surfer I know; just don't tell him I said that. Mild kleptomaniac and a future tax cheat. Oh, and he is hopelessly in love with Sid, but she doesn't know it yet.
That's Sidonne or Sid for short, but we all call her princess. She's the newest member of our little family. She met Kie in the 10th grade and just sorta clicked. They're totally best friends now. Being the youngest and smallest of us has everyone very protective of her. I guess you can call her Kook princess since her family is the richest on the island, but we like to think of her as our Pogue princess. Her family made a ton of money mining for oil off the coast which Sid hasn't stopped protesting about. Don't tell JJ, but I sort of have a crush on her as well.
Meet Xena or also referred to as X. Or T. Or Babe. Or Wifey... anyways.
See, the island used to be run by the kooks and their kook royalty. Sure they still technically do run the island. But since Xena moved in right smack dab in the middle of Figure Eight and the Cut, she's been running things. Literally.
But the darkest part about Xena, is her addiction. Like everyone here on the island, we've all got something that makes us tick. Hers is fighting.
She's a fighter. In all senses and tenses possible. But she's a literal ring fighter both semi-professional and street-style illegal.
Gambling with her fists and mind are what she thrives on. Or at least what she used to.
"Save the drugs for the Kooks and y'all can have my alcohol- JJ, for your sake don't you dare light that joint while I'm stuck in here."
"Yeah, keep the signal clear."
"Pope, hun, I can speak for myself. Thanks though."
"Oh come on, Babe. Not even a small sip."
"I literally have a match in two days, I only came to this party to act as a bodyguard, Kie. And besides, I literally showed y'all my written contract."
"That contract is with yourself, Wifey!"
"All the more reason to stick to it then, ain't it Hubby? It's called discipline."
As an aside: The first 54 chapters are Xena's first year in Outer Banks, totally random and just something fun. The 0-103 is the First Season of Outer Banks for Xena. Very similar to my other series where I bring in a new main character and rewrite them into the story-- This is Xena's.
