The Moon and The Ocean novel Chapter 1

It was still dark, Ocean was sleeping peacefully in the back seat of the car. Her father, Sam Knight was driving the car and her mother Carla was talking to him.

Carla: She doesn't feel comfortable with the triplets.

Sam: Come on honey. They aren't that bad.

Carla: Tell that to your daughter. She told me that it's her condition to visit Jack, that she'll get her private room. She's not gonna share it with her cousins.

Sam: Okay fine. I'll tell Jack. He'll arrange her a separate room.

Carla: Yeah you better.

Sam: Okay wake her up, we're almost here.

Carla tapped on Ocean's shoulder to wake her up. It took her a minute to understand her surroundings.

Carla: We're almost here baby.

Ocean: Yeah! Can we go to the woods please? I wanna see the rising sun.

Sam: No baby! Uncle Jack is waiting for us and your Aunt made you lots of cookies. Do you wanna Miss that?

Ocean: But daddy?

Sam: No buts. We've already talked about it.

Ocean: Fine.

She said as she leaned back to her seat. Ocean Knight is the only child of Carla and Sam Knight. She's 10 years old, she's a very smart, sweet, cute and very obedient child. Summer vacations were about to end. Ocean and her parents were visiting Sam's younger brother Jack Knight. Jack lived in New Orleans and Sam lived in New York City. Ocean loves her uncle and Aunt, but their bratty 3 daughters, they were the worst nightmare for Ocean. They always trouble her.

Her father parked the car and Ocean and Carla came out of the car. Her uncle called her and she ran to him. Jack knelt down on the ground, and pulled his niece in a long embrace. Ocean is the youngest child of the family. She was born 8 years after her parents wedding. Because of her obedient and loving behavior, everyone loves her more than her cousins.

Jack: I've missed you so much.

Ocean: I've missed you too uncle Jack.

Jack: Really, I thought you might have forgotten your uncle.

Ocean: No...

Lora: Darling, you're not the only one here. Come her baby girl.

Jack's wife, Lora hugged Ocean and Carla. Jack helped his brother with the luggage. Lora invited everyone in the Villa. They all made their way to the dining room. Ocean gasped as she looked at the table, full of all her favorite baked goods. Lora loved baking, and every time Ocean visited them, Lora baked her a lot of things.

Lora: I didn't know what you would like to eat, so I baked a few things you like most, tell me how it tastes?

Ocean took a big bite of chocolate chip cookies and moaned.

Ocean: Mmmmm.... It's amazing Aunt, thank you so much.

Lora sat beside Ocean and they all enjoyed their breakfast together after a long long time. After they finished, they all went to their rooms. As promised, Sam talked to Jack and Ocean got her separate room. She ain't had to share the room of her evil cousins, Monica, Marina and Melody. Jack helped Ocean to unpack her stuff, after an hour or so she set her room and went out to play with her doll in the garden. She wanted to go to the forest behind her uncle's Villa. She always wanted to see that forest but her father never allowed her, saying it's not safe for her to go into that dark forest. Sam always feared that forest, but his daughter loved it.

Ocean was playing peacefully when her evil triplet cousins came and Monica took her doll from her hands.

Ocean: Give it back to me please!

Marina: Come and get it.
