Far far away

(9:00 am) Mr. Charlie noticed he has not seen his son since last night, Tristan is an alone person but he doesn’t go away for long. He started getting worried when Isabella had reported to him that morning. “Tristan did not return to the room last night and I have not seen him this morning” the girl said worriedly. Mrs. Charlie had noticed his mood and asked if he was okay, the man told her but she assured him it is fine, “you know Tristan love his privacy, he might be somewhere in the cruise... Why are you troubling yourself, he is not a kid” she said. The man saw James coming out of the room that morning, the young man yawned and stretched his arms. “Good morning dad,” he had said smiling to Mr. Charlie. The man sits upright, looking straight at James “good morning James, did you see Tristan? He did not come in yesterday and he is not back till now” he asked. James shook his head and looked confused, “I don't know dad, I saw him yesterday at the party but not today...” he replied and saw his dad's reaction, “come on dad... You know how Tristan is, I am sure he will be back soon” he assured his dad. They got close to England and Tristan had not returned, the man went out to report to security, and after a long, while they returned and saw Mr. Charlie standing outside his stateroom. “Your son is not in this ship sir”, one security had told the man. Mr. Charlie looked at them confused, “what are you talking about?” his heart jumped as another confirmed he was nowhere to be seen. Mrs. Charlie who has heard hurried out with Isabella and James. “What do you mean he is not on this ship? We all got on this cruise when we left Minch, did you even check thoroughly”, the woman asked worriedly. Before the securities would reply, the man had hurried away, he saw the prince talking to a man outside the cruise. “Mr. Charlie, how are you doing? I hope you enjoyed your trip?” Prince Larry asked and saw the man's facial expression, “what is wrong?” he asked. “My son, he has not returned since yesterday and the securities reported he is not on the cruise” The man said looking around. “Tristan?” the prince asked surprised, “I could swore I saw him at the party yesterday, where could he be?” the prince said and watched the man hurried away. “TRISTAN!!!! Where are you?” Mr. Charlie called out and his family joined in calling his name. The prince turned to one of his security, “search every part of this cruise... Take the lifeboat with others and look around this ship as well, hurry up” he ordered. The news of Tristan missing went viral, everyone in the ship started looking around and calling out his name, lifeboats were launched out to search around. Mr. Charlie looked out to the ocean and yelled out his name, his heart pounding and trying hard not to imagine the worst, “Tristan please” he said as tears rolled down his face. The man held his head and felt a touch behind him. “I made calls and thorough searching would start as soon, we will find Tristan safe and sound... He is a strong boy, I am sure he is fine” the prince said. Without looking back, the man stared at the ocean. “Rose will never forgive me if anything happens to Tristan, she told me to take good care of him and Isabella when she died, I can not find my son... What if......” “Nothing Will happen to him, we will find Tristan... Please be strong” the prince assured him. The Prince's wife and some other women gathered around Mrs. Charlie, trying to console her. Isabella wouldn't stop searching around even while he was reported not to be in the cruise, she cried out as she called out his name. John ran towards her and bent down in front of her, “Isabella we will find Tristan, you know your brother is a strong guy... He would never want to leave you or your dad, he is fine okay? I heard they already sent out search party to look for him, I promise you he will be seen and he will be okay” he assured the girl. Isabella did not stop crying, she wiped her tears and looked up at John “What if he had drowned overnight? What if he had died!!! He never wanted to follow us, we made him follow us... What if he had died” she exclaimed. John's eyes turned red and teary, his heart hurt as she cried out in pain. He hugged her as she cried out. Isabella saw her dad and ran towards him, the man lifted her up, she buried her face against his neck and cried softly, “Dad where is Tristan” she cried. John controlled his tears, he saw his dad and walked towards him, “send people to look for Tristan... They should go in the ocean and look everywhere, he had gone missing within 12 hours... I saw him at the party so whatever happens to him he would still be near” he said in a shaky breath. The man held his son's shoulder, “that has been arranged son, the prince has sent Her Majesty's Coast guard to start searching for him... They will find him” the man said and looked at Mr. Charlie, “I just hope he was found alive... He would not have survived if he was found in the water, It have been hours” the man added. John's legs went weak, he sat on the chair and felt pain in his heart, he clenched his fist and hit the table hard. They finally got to England, the cruise got to its final destination. Everyone stepped out on the cruise, but the happiness that was there when they got in had faded away. The reporters saw Mr. Charlie and his family coming out of the ship, they hurried to him as lot of questions were thrown at them, the man could not say anything, he held on Isabella's hand and ignored them. James stopped and looked at the reporters, the cameras flashed at him, “My brother is missing and....” he said as tears rushed down his face, “The Queen should please help us... He is my best friend” he said as the prince patted his shoulder from behind, he turned to the camera “Her Majesty’s coast guard has started their work... It is so sad he got lost on my trip, it is my fault and I promise Tristan that I will find him.. And get him back to his family” he said and walked away ignoring other questions. The Tomboy who had talked with Tristan a night before saw James and walked towards him. “Didn’t you sleep together with Tristan every night? When you noticed he was not back in why didn't you tell anyone” she said angrily. James gave her a disgusted look, “and who are you? Who are you to say this to me? Are you saying it is my fault he went missing” he raised his voice and had caught Mr. Charlie’s attention. “Didn’t you say he is your best friend.. How are you sleeping and did not realize your best friend was missing?” she added. Mrs. Charlie stood in between and frowned at the girl, “who are you? How dare you to say that to my son” she said angrily, “he lost his brother, do you know the grief he is trying to overcome right now... That we all are trying to overcome” she added as tears rolled down her face. Mr. Charlie walked towards them and held his wife’s hand, “It is okay... Let us go” he said and took her away. “I have a bad feeling about him”, She said looking at James as he left with his family. -------------------------- The Climate is mostly sunny, refreshed by the ocean breeze, a cool breeze touched the warmth of his cheeks. Slowly he regained consciousness, and just like a fog lifted from before him, she appeared.  She was beautiful, the thought nearly choked in his mind like it were already a sentence waiting to escape his lips, he gasped and hurried away from her. “Am... Am I dead”, he asked himself and looked around, the ocean’s calming rhythm and flavorful breeze made the beach more bearable. He grabbed his head and everything that had happened came back to his head, he groaned out and fell on his knees, “they pushed me off the cruise, where is this? Where am I, is this heaven?” he said and remembered a girl was standing behind him. He turned and looked back, his eyes brightened. She was naked, staring back at him with concern. Her hands making no attempt to cover the nakedness of her body, he had to restrain the volley of thoughts rushing through his mind, “Did... Did you.. by chance...save me?” he stuttered as he immediately got a flashback of his dream. He looked down at her legs and shook his head, “she is human... Not some creature” he whispered to himself and looked up at her. She nodded yes, her hair was Golden honey blonde and the gold of her hair seemed to amplify her Ocean blue eyes, she looked like a princess from a distant far away land just like the stories his mother told him about. “She can not seem to.... Maybe be a mermaid?.. But how did a girl save... Save me?” he whispered to himself. “I am a good swimmer”, she answered. Tristan looked at her as his eyes brightened, “even her voice is beautiful....but...wait”, he thought. “how did....how did you hear that?” he asked as billions of questions popped up in his mind. Who is she? How did she save him? How did he get here? His family is in danger, how can he get back to England. The sand from the beach adorned her body and the sunlight shone off it making her body glitter, her breasts were quite firm and probably were the highlight of her upper body even though her slim waist ran into a sinful curve with her long straight legs seeming like the perfect cushion to support her already dreamy physique. Then she smiled, his heart stopped. Her smile revealed a set of glistening white teeth and her red lips seemed to draw a fine line between love and lust in his mind, he got back to his senses and looked away. He walked towards the water and could not see any end to the wide ocean, the little island was all surrounded by water, Tristan suddenly noticed the girl walking towards him. He looked back at her, “Where am I? Is this near Minch Island? Is it near England?” he asked eagerly. She stared at him for a short while, then shook her head, “here is far, very far away”. He grabbed his head and fell on his knees, “OH MY GOD!!! IF THIS IS A DREAM I WANT TO WAKE UP!!!”
