"Unpredictable moments can change your life when you're ready for them" My whole life, I've been told I was destined for greatness based solely on the virtue of my name. I was taught sacrifice was for the foolish. Survival was all that mattered. But now I find myself at a crossroads, and I must decide what I believe to be true. There is no such thing as destiny. Legacies must be earned by the choices we make. I now know that we write our own endings, and we can either choose to hide as villains or live as heroes.
“What the hell is this place?” Daniel asked as he stood on the beach unsure of how he had gotten there. The last thing that he remembered was being in Emily’s arms, then there was darkness and now he was on the beach but this was not The Hamptons, he knew that much.
“What the blast did you just say to me?” The inquiry fell from his lips as Draco shook his head in disgust and disapproval. Compressing his lips together, the iries of the boy glanced itself on the person before him. He wouldn’t have believed how rubbish the States were until arriving days ago, but perhaps father hadn’t embellished after all. “Perhaps if what you were saying was coherent, I’d have better luck understanding it. Imbecile.”
Daniel’s brow furrowed at the other male’s words. If the blond was confused one could only imagine how confused Daniel was about this whole thing. Last he remembered he had been shot and he believed he had died and now here he was on an island. Was this heaven? Daniel shook his head and looked at the male in front of him. There were many ways that Daniel could have replied to the male but he opted for the more civilized one in case this was heaven. “I simply asked what this place was. I know it isn’t the Hamptons.”
Yeah maybe things could have been different. You never really know what the future holds. You deserve happiness too. I’m sorry you can’t be with Margaux.
No point in dwelling in the past especially one that never was, right? You're right you never know but hopefully it's better than what the past has been. Thank you... I'm just sorry that I won't see my baby. Had I told you that Margaux was pregnant?
I didn’t mean for things to go down that way. I meant what I said that night, not every aspect of our relationship was solely part of my plan. It meant something to me, you meant something to me. They aren’t here yet, but yes I would hope to see them again hopefully.
I know, Em, I know. Things just got out of control or that's what I tell myself to make things seem less bleak. That's good because you meant something to me and who knows maybe if I wasn't a Grayson then things would have been different. I hope you see them again, you deserve happiness.
Right, sure. You’ve got me there. We’ve all had our hard ships, but I didn’t make things any easier for you, I’ll admit. Yes it would seem you are back from the dead. I got a letter in the mail, to visit loved ones, more or less, here and get requited.
You didn't but I get it now or at least I get why you wanted to hurt me even if I had nothing to do with what happened to your father. So you're hoping that Aiden and Amanda are here or are they here?
Neither did I. Sure, no problem. From what I’ve been told when I got here and from what I’ve learned, this place is from some other world, truly. First off, you can’t leave. I haven’t tried, because I’m too scared but people who have, have gotten hurt. Or so I’ve been told, which I wouldn’t put it past them. Second, this island is unpredictable. The first full day I was here, I turned into a guy. I went to bed female and woke up male. Not sure why or how it happened, but it did. Thankfully, I don’t think you should have to worry about that. But, that’s all I’ve gathered from being here for a short while.
It’s good to know I’m not the only one. You can’t leave this place and at any given moment you can wake up as the opposite sex? I’m not seeing any positives here. Why do people even come here? Forgive me I don’t know where my manners went-- I suppose that coming back from the dead does that to a person. I’m Daniel Grayson.
Very funny but no this isn’t hell. You wouldn’t be in hell. But this isn’t heaven either. It’s a place where people come back from the dead, or so I keep hearing. I didn’t believe at first-but if you are really here right in front of me then it must be true.
Hey I need to have a sense of humor about not making it, right? You have a point after all I’ve already been put through hell. Oh… so I’m back from the dead? Why are you here Amanda or are you still going by Emily?
Skeleton Island? Well that doesn't sound odd at all. Vaguely. I know that we were in the manor which means we were in The Hamptons and not here... I got shot... you told me I would be okay and that's the last I remember.
