Authors note: Okay, this is the 3rd time I am trying to write an 'incredibles' fic. I suck at writing them, but i decided to give it another go. Im sorry if there is a lot of grammatically errors, but English is not my native language, so im just trying the best I can. Please read and review :)

Disclaimer: I dont own the Incredibles, so on and so forth...

The bus scrambled along the bumpy road, making the engine protest loudly. Outside, heavy raindrops landed on the hard ground and the dirty windows of the bus, which wasn't exactly of newer date. On the rusty surface, you could just make out the word 'Metro Travel'.

The old bus was filled with tourists, all of them sleeping. All except one. A young girl, sitting in the back, away from the other passengers. She was pale, slender, and had long black hair, that fell around her round face like a curtain. She sat with her forehead leaned against the window, looking out at the passing landscape.

Violet sighed. It was the same sight she had been greeted with the last two hours of the trip. Trees, stones, stones, trees, a single house, more trees...

She restlessly tore her gaze away from the window and leaned her back against it, throwing her legs over the empty seat beside her. She could fell every little bump on the road, hear every raindrop landing on the bus, and every sound from the worn-out engine. They had soon been driving for 3 hours non-stop, and there was still a long way to the hotel. Impatiently, Violet began to scratch her black nailpolish.

It was almost 2 months since she had left home. She had had such a trouble convincing her parents to let her go. Especially her mother had been difficult. She had continued to come up with arguments such as 'You are to young', 'you need to study', it's to dangerous', blah blah blah... It had taken her weeks to convince them that she would be just fine.

Violet wasn't a little girl anymore. She had just finished school, had turned 18, and was, like any other girl her age, 'trying to find herself'. She just didn't feel like it was possible within the four walls of her home. She had to get away, had to see something else. Her parents had agreed to let her travel around Europe for some time, if she promised to take care of herself, to write them every week, and to continue her studies when she got home. She had agreed, if they helped her out financially.

Even though she hated to admit it to herself, she really missed her family, even Dash. No matter how exciting it was to see the world, it got kind of lonely.

She closed her eyes for a moment, listening to the rain dancing on the windows. However, the soft sound was interrupted by the loud snoring from one of the other passengers, and the cranky sounds from the engine.

All these sounds created a strange kind of music, that didn't really sound that well to Violet. She searched trough her backpack, until she found her beloved discman. She covered her ears with the headphones and pressed the 'play'-button. A calming and sweet melody filled her head.

This is a story of a girl

She's hard with strange beauty

Marked by the world.

She's wild and wise on sorrow

She's got a library of sad tales and tears for you to borrow...

Violet yawned and sank lower down in her seat, while the song continued to play. The gentle rocking of the bus made her sleepy, and she closed her suddenly heavy eyelids and sighed. Shortly after, she fell asleep.

So, that was first chapter. Oh, and in case anybody's wondering, the song I just at the end is called "Story of a girl," from a band called Kira and the Kindred spirits. Great music!
