16 years later:

"Melody, hurry up!" My best friend Lilly yelled at me from down below.

"I'm coming, I'm coming! Sheesh." I yelled back, blowing hair out of my eyes, " I'm going as fast as I can."

Packing. That's right packing.

My friends and I made plans to celebrate my eighteenth birthday on Mystic Isle. The plan was made during our senior year, but that's all said and done now. We have graduated and it's the summer so really, when thinking about it, it's the perfect time to go.

I have to add that my birthday is less than a month away yet my wonderful, amazing friends wanted to spend the whole summer there.

Hence all of the packing.

Once I was done packing and making sure I had everything, I walked down the stairs and out the door to join Lilly on the front porch.

Heaving my suitcases into the trunk of her car since hers was in the back seat I said, " so we are meeting them at the airport right?"

She glanced up quickly from her phone to answer me, " yeah, that's the plan, but if we don't hurry we will be late."

Nodding I shut the trunk, hopping into the passenger seat while she slid into the drivers seat.

Beep

Beep

" Was that your phone or mine?"

Keeping her eyes on the road she said, " I think it was yours."

Without answering I took out my phone and saw I had a text from Damien:

Hey, where are y'all at??? Harp and I are here waiting.

I typed:

Hey, sorry we are on our way. Took longer than expected, but we will be there soon.

Not even two minutes later my phone went off again:

Ok.

Putting my phone back in my pocket, watching the scenery pass by, I couldn't help, but think that this was going to be an interesting trip.

About twenty minutes later we pulled up to the airport. We heaved the luggage onto the pavement and then caries and rolled them inside of the building. Once inside we searched for Damien and Harper and saw them sitting down waiting.

" Sorry we're late." I said sheepishly, walking up to them hoping they forgive me.

" It's honestly her fault." Lilly rolled her eyes. " y'all know how she gets."

We kind of figured." Harper said.

They laughed.

I pouted, " Not funny."

" It is though." Lilly replied, sitting down beside Harper to which I sat on the other side of Damien.

Lilly was tall and blonde, her hair flowing down to her mid back. She had blue eyes which I was envy of and a model body.

Harper on the other hand was a red head to which her hair came to about her shoulders, but currently was up in a bun. She had stunning green eyes and was, only, about two inches or so taller than me and I was 5"4 which means she was around 5"6.

Damien was a giant. Let's get that out of the way. He had icy blue eyes that pierced through you when he looked at you. His hair was coal black and curly. You could tell he shaved before leaving the house this morning which I was glad of because he looks better without all of the facial hair.

Me, I had brown hair that came all the way down, touching my butt. I had hazel-green eyes with a little mixture of blue in them and sometimes, depending on what I wear or how I feel, they change color.

Finally our flight was called, " Flight 221 to mystic Isle is boarding passengers. All passengers going to mystic isle please come along."

That was our cue.

We all got up semi-tenuously, grabbed our luggage and headed to the ticket desk.

"Tickets please." The woman asked.

One by one we showed her our tickets and one by one we went through the terminal and onto the plane.

Once on the plane, going to the first class section, we found Seats, storing our luggage before sitting down and resting.

First class was a present to all of us from Lilly's dad. Also, he had paid for our hotel and everything else.

I knew it wouldn't be long before we took off so before shutting off my phone I shot a quick text to mom and the rest of my family, letting them know what was going on and why if they tried to reach me I wouldn't answer.

Sure enough a few minute after the last call for the flight had been called, a female voice came through the speaker, " all right, flight 221 is ready for take off. Please fasten your seatbelt and cut off all cell phones. Have a good flight."

Putting my elbow on my knee and my head in my hand, I gazed out the window at the sky as we were already up in the air, thinking here we go. The mystic isle, hmmm.... I wonder...

There is a legend there and, it's a very common legend. The legend tells that there was once a kingdom under the sea that was breathtaking and prosperous. So much laughter, dancing and music.. so much joy was found there, but dark days had fallen.
It was to be days yet it turned into years.

Some believe in this legend. Others don't .

I'm one who does.

There is also a saying in the legend that the kingdom can be saved, the kingdom can be restored to its former beauty.

A human girl...

There were other legends, but none intrigued me the way this one did. I didn't know if the last part about the kingdom being saved is true for it has become a recent add in, but still...

Another legend says that there will be signs that will point her out in due course. Also, it tells of two best friends and more signs pointing them out as well.

The cave...

The hidden cave is at the root of it all, I just know it.

The cave itself though, is a story all on it's own, but that, is a story for another time.
