Chapter 7 - Derecho

" Can y'all please go to your rooms? You're not supposed to stay near the waves!!!"

One of the guards who looked a bit macho requested to the passengers of Nitrodium.

" WHYYY...? WE GOT IN JUST NOW... LET THEM PLAY SOME MORE"

One among the mother said to the guard as if courageous, but feeling utmost fear inside.

" THE METEOROGICAL DEPARTMENT HAS WARNED US ABOUT THE SUDDEN CHANGE IN WEATHER JUST NOW! PLEASE DO UNDERSTAND US", requested the second guard who stood besides the muscular one.

The womens could no long persude them nor their husbands.

Upon compulsion, they all walked to their resorts with long faces as slow as a turtle.

It was only when they walked back, they observed the sky.

The weather turned insanely dark, with no sign of the sun.

The dark clouds covered the whole sky as well as the sun, followed by heavy wind that pulled people aside.

Holding their caps tightly at one hand, they all walked fast towards the resort covering their face with their palm.

Water from the waves splashed on people's face from a very long distance, showing how agressive the waves turned just in minutes.

" Is this normal here!", Mr. Ren asked an old man, an resident of Halvalla who walked passed them.

The man didn't give a proper response, but shouted hard admist the heavy wind," STAY AWAY FROM THE WAVES! THEY SEEM AGRESSIVE TODAY!"

Sevanna who heard her husband enquire about the place, hit him hard and said," Ah! You and your worries! It's just normal in coastal areas! Let's come here soon after everything settles down".

She said and walked past him, along with the ladies, who agreed with her too.

While everything seemed normal to the families, it was only the men who felt strange about the weather, sensing something odd about the gale.

Each one at their own resorts looked at the cozy shore in a worry, not able to enjoy it while it was in the reaching place.

The Isopha's looked busy picking rooms for them at the resort, parents at the ground floor while kids at the attic.

" Its good in here! I'll take his table", Gracie exclaimed in a relaxed tone, upon sitting on a cushion table, set on the balcony.

She opened the illustrated audio Book of Sam Finler, called ' A night at the Dark tale'.

A shot tempered girl, yet pleasant and peaseful at times, who seeks silence in the stories of Sam Finler is what the simple definition of Gracie is.

Thanks to him, Sevanna got time to rest, a dayoff from Gracie's troubles.

Making the ladies stay at the top floor, Gwen and Mr. Ren walked to other resorts, to check how things were outside.

They encountered bunch of men at the reception, watching Tv altogether seriously.

" Hey mates! What's it about?", asking Mr. Isopha walked to them.

Those friendly men welcomed him and pointed the Tv, showing vast disappintment on their faces.

[ IT WAS THIS MORNING, METEOROLOGIST HAD WARNED PEOPLE OF HALVALLA ABOUT STORMY WAVES AND HORRENDOUS WIND. PLEASE BE MINDFUL OF THE SEA AND MAKE SURE YOU STAY TEN KILOMETERS AWAY FROM IT. THE DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITIES ARE REQUESTING PEOPLE TO GET READY FOR THE WORSE, SINCE THE EFFECT AT THE SEA IS UNPREDICTABLE. WHILE METEOROLOGIST SAY IT WAS ALL PART OF NATURES ROLE, PEOPLE AT RAISI HAD STARTED A DISPUTE INFRONT OF ARCHEO TOWER, ACCUSING THEM TO BE THE REASON BEHIND ALL THIS!

WHILE THE ACCUSATION MIGHT BE TRUE OR NOT, WHAT IS IMPORTANR RIGHT NOW IS THE SAFETY OF CITIZENS!

PEOPLE ARE REQUESTED TO STAY IN THE TALLEST PLACES POSSIBLE TO AVOID FLOOD AND CONJESTION!

STAY TUNED FOR REGULAR UPDATES!!!]

" This is the very first time we're facing such an inane weather without any prior warning before weeks! I would be grateful if you all could stay upstairs for the moment", requested a young man, the receptionist of the resort.

The weather was such, as per the receptionist's request, so dark and stormy, the wind taking all the dust to people's eyes.

" Gwen, let's go!", saying Mr. Ren walked passed dozens of resorts, fighting through the troublesome wind.

It seemed like the owners of the stalls, game arcades, souvenir shop's and restaurants around, stood helpless and confused on a situation, where no one can help their business pick up.

"An unfortunate day", lamented Gwen to himself, which his father Mr. Ren took note off.

He smiled and put his hand around the shoulder of his beloved son, who was in a age to get disappointed easily.

" What's with the long face...?", Mr. Ren asked as if ignorant about how Gwen was feeling.

Gwen was silent for a moment, but as soon as he made contact with his dad's loving eyes, tears piled up on his long brown eyes.

" Nothing dad! I'm just disappointed about our vacation getting ruined!", Gwen said sulking, where his tears was all the way up to his throat.

Mr. Ren gave a wide smile at his son.

" Just by age your sixteen, but you still behave as how you were at Kintergarden. Complaning that you're unfortunate... "

Gwen nodded.

" Yes, dad! When I expect upon something, it always disappoints me... not just me but everyone around", he complained again.

Mr. Ren couldn't hold back his laughter on how childish Gwen was, even after he pointed out it.

" Let it be true, but tell me one thing! Who would make an unfortunate man winner of an auspicious contest...? Does anyone in Wrone recieved an gift as if you got from Mr. Fabilio? In such an young age, you made us travel in Nitrodium which I never dreamt in my life. After all this you call yourself unfortunate?", asked Mr.Ren.

Gwen looked dozed off for a moment and smiled at his father.

He dipped his hand right into his pocket and took out the glossy gem, which shined bright even in the darl weather.

" You're roaming around having it in your pocket! Don't lose it", Mr. Ren said laughing hard on his son, whom he found cute even after he had grown up into a teen.

" Alright! Let's hurry! You're mama might get worried if we make it late", making himself as a responsible husband, Mr. Ren took Gwen to his Resort, safeguarding him with his hands.

The wind made it so hard for them to walk through the rough mud, where the bright lightning and roaring thunder showed sign of heavy rain.

They literally reached the spa, close to which their Resort was.

" Gwen! Hurry up!", they overheard voice of someone familiar.

" Mom! We're coming!", Gwen replied back to her as loud as he can, as soon as his eyes met his mother in the balcany, who was looking out for them.

When Gwen ran over looking at his mother, bright light striked on his path, followed by a defeaning roar, that thrilled the whole of Halvalla.

Wile Sevanna cried aloud from the balcony, Mr. Ren, who couldn't get a grap of what happened in split second, ran towards his son in extreme fear, who was pushed back afar by the lightning.
