Hidden

Prologue and Chapter 1

 Prologue

It was a beautiful day on the island of Crystaliya. The sun was shining bright, waves were crashing against the shore and palms were swaying in the wind. But in the city of Atlantia terror reigned.

Chapter 1 

(Summers POV)

Hi.  

I’m, like everybody else in hiding.  It’s either that or death and I kinda want to live, so yeah.  I’m here with my parents, my brother Luke, and my best friend Nichole she doesn't have any living relations.

Wait I haven’t even introduced myself, Sorry.  I’m Summer and I like no wait not just like I LOVE dresses and makeup because well because it makes you look cute and super pretty!  

(oh, shut up Luke I don’t mean looking good for boys only!  I mean you can also look pretty for your pleasure only!!!!  Luke is my older brother.  He is so annoying.) 

When you dress up and look pretty the adults seem to like it when you do.  So yeah.  I should also tell you why we are in the first place.  

See about a year ago this war started and I’m not talking about one of those “wars” you pretended you were in when you were younger playing on the playground,  I’m talking about a FULL OUT FREAKING WAR!!!  So anyway this is how our story begins.

~

I’m back!  You really thought I left you just like that.  I’m not that rude.  But we really need you to catch up with all this war drama.  I have a lot to tell you. 

 There are bombs everywhere and one made a crater right outside the building that we are hiding in.  I’m not usually one to get scared but I started freaking out because it was really loud (duh its a bomb) and also, I have seen not only one but two troops passing by and shooting anyone they see walking, driving, running, Anyone.  

It’s so horrible, but the good news is that we have been getting more food because Nichole offered to sneak out and steal some food.  She’s so brave,fast and strong and there’s nothing to not like about her. I'm really glad shes my BFF  She’s like my family's warrior.  

Well, that’s what they call her anyway.  The only bad thing is that we are completely different she likes pants and a T-Shirt and you already know that I LOVE to wear dresses and makeup. 

At my old house before the war my room was painted hot pink and I felt like a princess in it, I had a canopy bed, a makeup table, frilly curtains, and a huge walk in closet with my own bathroom attached. 

 So this is like some of the things that my family does in hiding.  We play board games, do fashion shows (mostly only me in the shows), and we are also constantly waiting and watching for Nichole to come back from the market and making sure my family and I don't get killed by the soldiers that are outside shooting at everything they see.  

Oh, Nichole just got back with the food from the market!!!
