“Something was wrong. Very wrong. The waves were churning against the rocks; whole trees seemed to have been swept away in an avalanche down the mountain side. Gusts of winds were blowing so strongly that I started to shake in mid-air, nearly plummeting towards earth. A tsunami force crested the waves, causing them to crash all the way up to the hotel. I looked down in horror. Our cottage was half-submerged in water. Only the Cutter Imperial Hotel – a tall skyscraper of a building – stood tall.
“Chance!” I caught sight of him on the roof. “What’s going on?”
“We’re evacuating the guests to the roof!” He rushed over to me. “I was so worried – your house was flooded – where have you been?”
“I’ll tell you later,” I shouted over the noise of the waves. “Where’s mom?”
“I haven’t seen her.” Chance sighed.
I turned around, ready to run back into the waters.
