Early retirement was good for William Bennet. He stared out on the ocean from his Hawaiian beachfront property while sipping on his fruity alcoholic beverage and smiled. The sunset was especially beautiful that night as his children played on the beach and the steady sound of the ocean calmed his nerves. He looked to his wife and smiled as she relaxed on her chair with her own margarita. She smiled back. This really is the life, he thought.

He noticed some commotion down on the beach as his kids suddenly ran down the shoreline toward something in the water. He jumped up and began to jog down to where his children had run to and then saw his daughter start sprinting toward him.

"Dad!" she yelled when she got to him, "there's someone who just washed up on the shore. I think they're still alive!"

His eyes grew wide and he sprung into action. "Go call an ambulance!" He sprinted to where his other children had congregated as they finished dragging a naked girl onto the beach. She wasn't conscious but she was still alive, her chest rising and falling as she breathed. He yelled to his wife to bring a beach towel over and she hurried down with one.

She gasped when she saw the young woman. She had medium brown hair and bruises all over her face. Her right arm was crooked at an odd angle; broken. "Where did she come from?" she asked as she placed the towel over the young girl.

They both knelt down next to the unconscious girl as they waited for their daughter to return with news of emergency services. Suddenly, the girl shot upright, her eyes as wide as saucers. William thought he'd seen a hint of a yellow glow before he realized how blue they were.

"Easy, easy," his wife said as she put her hand on the girl's bare shoulder, "it's okay."

The girl looked around erratically trying to figure out where she was. William let her try to gain her bearings before he asked her, "Who are you, miss? Where are you from? How did you get here?"

The girl looked at him and seemed confused. She shook her head a few times and shut her eyes tight for a few moments. She finally opened her eyes and suddenly looked frightened.

"I don't know," she said.

Well that's it everyone! I hope you liked the story. Thanks to everyone who read it! I appreciated all the reviews from people, and I'd like to thank reviewers like The Penny Treasure and Sky Maxwell (and anyone else I've missed) who were very engaged from the beginning.

Millix asked if I'd be writing more on this in the future. I do plan on it if I can come up with an idea for a sequel. Keep an eye out.
