Restless -- Destiny Islands [Open/Complete]
Selphie rolled over on her bed yet again. She couldn't get to sleep. It was the middle of the night and she was wide awake.
Ever since Kairi had left the island, her parents had been keeping her inside the house as much as possible, buying into the warnings the Council had set out about keeping daughters home.
She hated it. She wasn't used to staying inside for such lengthy amounts of time. She was going to go insane at any moment. Her parents knew her hatred of confinement, so why were they practically locking her up?
That's why she decided to let herself out. This last restless night was the final straw. She would only leave for a few hours- no one would know she was gone- and she would sneak back in before her parents woke back up.
She quietly shuffled about her room, putting on warm clothes and a pair of sandals. She also grabbed a bag and put her journal, sketchbook, pens and colored pencils, and a flashlight inside, then slung the bag over her shoulder.
Selphie snuck past her parent's bedroom, careful to avoid the squeaky wood in the middle of the floor in front of their open door.
Soon she was outside, closing the door behind her without a sound. She headed over to the beach near where she lived, kicked off her shoes, and sat down close enough to the water to dip her bare feet in.
"I really need this," she said to herself, smiling. Then she took out her sketchbook and some pencils and started drawing the view in front of her.
