It's Meant To Be

Information: Before you read, listen closely. This will be set on Castanet Island. If I am acting OOC for any character, just try to enjoy it! Nn.. Yeah! Please Enjoy!.. Oh yeah, wait a sec.. The main character is a separate character on her own, the way she looks will be determined later : ) I might have some issues with my point of view time frame too, sorry about that. What is/ What was/ What is going to be.

-edit- I added a few buildings to the original structure of the town, so bare with me.

Chapter 1 -Start-

It's been so long since I've been anywhere for anything at all actually.. Traveling just isn't my thing. But here I am, finding myself seasick over the edge of a tiny barge, sailing across a small expanse of ocean to a place called Castanet. You might be wondering, if this girl gets seasick, if traveling isn't her thing... then why is she going anywhere? Well.. here's the story. My parents are rich... My real mom passed away when I was six, I miss her sometimes, but I didn't really know her.. and my dad is a Hotel chain owner on the mainland. He married this woman.. she's only a few years older than I am (yuck.) But she has a kid... so now I'm the oldest.. I don't really like her or the stuck up kid.. that could be because she feels the same way, but that's besides the point I'm trying to make. So Evil Step Mum doesn't like my attitude towards life (even though she's definitely only with my dad because of his money.) and tells my dad that I'm a bad influence on little brother. I wasn't exactly kicked out, I was just asked to go do something with my life. So, as you can see, I'm on a boat.. heading towards a mundane island (I guess it's not exactly an island.) that I've never heard of. You may ask.. Then why are you going there? Well, I hear that it's got some nice scenery and the fact that a plot of land out there is under 10,000 G is also pretty tempting. I don't know what I'm going to do for work when I'm there, but we'll see how things go.. I guess I could have headed for a city.. but I've lived in a big city all my life and I know rent in the city is more than what I'd have to pay for the whole plot in one month.
"It's land Ho, Little Missy" It was Pascal, the operator of the barge.
"Oh Thanks" I replied kind of mundanely, I leaned a bit more over the edge of the ship and looked for the island, the clouds were black and it was pretty stormy, a lot of the trees on one side of the mainland were dead.. and fields looked gray in the cloudy light. It doesn't look very promising. And of course, it decides to rain now. Pshh.. Good thing the conductor gave me this rainsuit otherwise I think I'd be soaked by the time we hit the docks. Ohp, One more round of sick before I get off it looks like, I shouldn't have looked up.

Finally the shore came. And still, it was raining. I dragged my one bag of Luggage down the dock to the town. darn, why does this place have so many stairs? I wonder which way Molly and Casey live.. Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention my cousins and their spouses live here.. They run a small B&B up in the mining district.. or at least that's what their postcards always give away. Perhaps I could make it there tonight? Might as well try, I haven't any money for the hotel up the hill. I waded my way through puddles through the town and out of it into a grassy plain, empty except for a rugged looking farm, "Abandoned Probably" I say to myself as I pass it by. The buildings looked like trash "Glad that's not where I'm living" I say to myself heading up along a path against the mountains and past a small pond. The wind is starting to pick up, and the rain is big and heavy, even in the rainsuit, I think I am soaked underneath, I'm cold enough to be soaked I think with a shiver. Hn.. better hurry.. I wonder if this is the safest path to their B&B. I should not have thought that because at the top of the hill was a rickety looking bridge, made of rope and boards, the wind was pushing on it, it didn't look that bad though. About half way across I realized how much windier the bridge was that in looked, and it was in a valley so there was a constant stream of wind, lashing the bridge around. I feel too heavy for it. SNAP I nearly scream, stupid board! stupid board. How do I get out of this. I think I scratched my knee, let's not get off topic, My frikken body is now hanging through a space in the bridge where a board once was. "Gah!" I barely manage to pull myself up and onto the bridge again, my luggage was tossed back towards the other side of the bridge too! heck if I'm going after it. I'm shaking, I know it.. I carefully start crawling until I reach the other side of the bridge where I curl up.. my brain is spinning, and my head hurts I think I'm crying, and just as I feel like I am passing out I feel some kind of bear arms pick me up into them.

Chapter 2

When I woke up, I was sweating, ridiculously warm. I sat up and looked around. I was now in a small,
plain bedroom. It was decorated nicely but still simple. I'm wearing foreign pajamas too, a night
gown, I haven't worn one since I was 10. And there were piles of blankets on me. My head feels a bit
heavy still. Probably just feeling stuffed up from overheating though. I get up now, stretching. Oh,
look! My luggage! Sitting in the corner was my suitcase, it looks dry now. Which is good. I flip it
open now and dig through finding some clothes, I pull off the night gown putting on fresh clothes.
I'll have to shower later I think. I get up feeling a bit better, and brush my hair out and tie it
back then I head out of the small bedroom. Just on time!
"Baby!" I hear a voice cry, I look over as a girl dropped a hamper of clothes on the floor "You're
up!" she had run over and threw her arms around me.
"Hah, Molly!" I say hugging her back, being slightly engulfed by her, she's a lot taller than I am.
"Yes, I'm up."
"Are you alright" she pulled away taking my face in her hands "I was so worried... you don't feel
sick do you?"
"No, no" I reassure her "I'm in perfect health."
"Goddess help me, when Toby told me what happened I nearly cried" She said getting a bit teary
again.
"Toby?" I asked lightly
"Oh My husband.. He was the one up when you were brought here.. but enough about that" she released
my face finally "Let's get some food into you.
"Please" I say smiling, she picked up her hamper and lead me downstairs.
The dining room was really nice, though I got bombarded as soon as I got off the steps "Sister" I
was suddenly in a head lock "Don't scare us like that again" It was Kasey, playing big brother
again.

"Alright! Alright! But don't strangle me!!" I say pulling against his grip, he released me finally.
My cousins were always so touchy feely and it was not my style. But I love them anyways.
"You look a lot better" This voice was unfamiliar, he was sitting at the table, he looked like a bit
of a mooch, he wore a thin top and loose jacket, he had smiling eyes and short white hair.
"Ah. Thanks" I say a little wary, Is THIS Molly's husband.

(IMG:http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/180/e/1/hm_fanfic_pic_4_by_skunkmight-d3kf075.jpg)

"Pardon me" he said smiling a bit standing up "I forgot to introduce myself" He came a bit closer
and bowed low. I haven't seen anyone bow in... ages! He's really gentlemanly! I quickly bow as well
now, looking up at him a bit, and straiten up. "My name is Tobi, Molly's husband" he smiled at me.
"Ah, I'm Baby" I smiled back, though I could feel how weak it is, he must feel like I don't like
him. Lucky, he seems to not notice.
"Alright, I'll go get today's catch" he said smiling and he leaned over kissing Molly on the cheek.
I watched him leave and looked at my cousins.
"It's been so long since I've seen either of you." I smile at them, more cheerful now that Tobi is
gone, he seems a bit off to me. But I have to be happy for Molly, he seems kind and pleasant enough.
"I know" Kasey said he gestured to the table and sits. I take a seat across from him and Molly takes
the end seat. "You've grown up so much." he said smiling.
"Well, you have too" I say. My cousins both grew a lot more than I did though. I remember when Kasey
was thin, short and weak. Now.. well, now he's tall and handsome! With his chest puffed out the way
he has it, he must realize he's a looker.. and Molly.. she filled out in every way, nice and curvy,
with a pretty, sweet, kind face.. different than me.. I am thin and pretty much shapeless.. I feel
that way at least.. and I got the nasty dark hair, the other side of the family has nice fluffy
brown hair.. so pretty. Bah.

"Well, now that you're here" Kasey said finally, after a moment that, to the two of them at least, felt heart warming, "We can get you situated, there is an old lot down the mountain with a house that you could fix up and live in." What I'm not living with these two? Great, I didn't think I'd be completely fending for myself, I guess good ol' dad told these two I was some kind of monstrous slacker.
"A-Alright" I could feel that stutter before it came out.
"What's wrong, Baby?" Molly asked
"Oh nothing!" I say quickly cheering my mood "I guess I didn't expect that you guys would have things set for me is all!" Hah, bull.. like I said, I thought that THIS would be my home.
"Oh, well, you know us!" Molly said cheering as well, as if.. I barely remember playing house with you.
"So, I guess we can go get things worked out right now then?" I ask smiling, it feels fake, I wonder how it looks?
"Well, we'll do that this afternoon" Molly said a bit more strict.
"Yeah, you may as well go thank your savior. You might be dying of Pneumonia by now without him" Kasey added. Who? Toby?
"Wasn't that Toby though?" I ask.
"No, Toby was only here when Owen brought you in"
"Owen?" new names all around me. Wonderful, I have a hard enough time with people I've already met, let alone adding to the people to remember.
"Yeah, he works down in the mines just north of here" Kasey said "He was up and down worried about you all night, I don't know if he'd even be at work today, he might just be sleeping his day away at the hour he was up at."
"Yeah." I said quietly, this guy. Lucky he was there "I'll go see him then, if that's alright." My cousins nodded their agreement, it was decided, here we go, off to see the man who saved my life.
