A vacation was something that Luke knew he needed. He’d spent so much time focusing on his band, the new record, and the upcoming tour, that he forgot what it was like to take a minute to himself and have fun. Hell, he wasn’t even sure he remembered what the word meant. Most of the time, his days were spent around three of his greatest friends in the world, but now he was in Greece by himself, something he new thought he would do but to say that it was relaxing to be alone was a complete understatement. There was no one there to nag him, no one there to bother him. It was incredible.
Being from Australia meant that the water was the one place Luke felt like he was really home, a place where nothing existed to him other then the water that surrounded him, and to have it in Greece, it was beautiful. The moonlight reflected off the water, and the way it looked crashing against the waves? The beauty couldn’t even be describe. The cool water against his skin, the smell in the air, it was all magical. His attention was grabbed in a serious way when he could feel the strong rumbling beneath his feet and in less then a moment, Luke was out of the water. There was no doubt that was an earthquake, and he knew what happened to waves when they were disturbed in such a way and he wasn’t going to wait around to see happen. He ducked into the nearest building that he could only assume was the lighthouse on the coast; without the light it was hard to tell, but that was certainly the last thing on his mind as he sat in the pitch black room with his back against the wall.
When he heard the sound of the females voice in the same room, he took only a few moments to let his eye adjust to the darkness. “I think all of Greece could feel that.” He spoke out in a soft tone so he wouldn’t startle the female as he slowly made his way over to her. “Are you okay?” The question passed his lips with a concerned tone.
Earthquakes were common in LA. Candice had lived there long enough to go through a couple in her lifetime. But that was the thing about California -- you expected them to happen. Not in Greece. At least not while on vacation, of all times. She wouldn’t call herself an expert, but she wasn’t completely clueless on the subject. The fact that she was overwhelmingly under-prepared for this natural disaster caused Candice to let out a soft chuckle to herself. The one time she had left her flashlight at home, along with a first aid kit she was silently hoping wasn’t necessary in case either party got hurt. There she sat, the once composed woman was now vacant of her supplies, finding refuge in a lightless lighthouse. Although she wasn’t alone.
The rumbling only lasted a few seconds at most, thought the anticipation of what was next was what weighed heavy on Candice’s shoulders. She felt herself flinching at the voice as it responded back to her, letting out a huff of air while her body relaxed. “Thank goodness I wasn’t the only one who felt that, I would’ve thought I was more crazy than I already am.” She shook her blonde head of curls as she squinted her eyes to adjust to the absence of light surrounding the both of them. Nodding her head at his question, she quickly stopped herself. “I’m fine, are you okay? No broken bones? Pulled muscles? Nothing hurled toward you from the sky?” She asked, assessing the situation the best she could with the literal blindness that hindered her. Reaching her hand out to confirm that the voice speaking to her wasn’t just all made up in her head, she crouched on her knees as she peeked through the lighthouse window. “I expected this from California, but never Santorini,” she added, averting her attention back to the male with a sheepish grin that she assumed only herself could recognize.
