Elena’s journey episode 1
(In Seattle)
(Outside Elena’s home, she re-ads one of Vincent Manuel’s book)
Elena: Wow, This author is so talented…. (she checks the back of the book) And handsome. I really hope I get to meet him one day.
(Her grandmother comes out of the house)
Elena’s Grandmother: Elena my dear, it’s getting dark, won’t you come inside?
Elena: I will grandma, I’m almost done re-ading this chapter.
Elena’s Grandmother: (smiles) You’re add!çted to re-ading.
Elena: Perhaps I got it from my father…..who I don’t know. Well, It’s not just about the book Grandma, it’s also about the author, Vincent Manuel, He’s so handsome and talented.
Elena’s Grandmother: That’s true. And if you knew your father he would have s£nt you to school to get a better education. That’s why we just have to fish everyday to earn a living.
Elena: Yeah (she closes the book) I’ll be going to sleep now grandma, Goodnight.
Elena’s Grandmother: Goodnight my dear.
(Elena goes back into the house)
Elena’s Grandmother: (Thinking) My Elena, All grownup. If only she knew her father, she wouldn’t have been going throu-gh this suffering.
*******************************
(In Atlanta, USA)
Mike: Mr Vincent Manuel, we have to leave for Mexico soon for the business deal.

Mike: Okay Sir.
(Next morning)
Elena: Good morning grandma.
Elena’s Grandmother: Wow, you’re awake alre-ady.
Elena: Yes grandma. It’s a good day, Most of the fishes have migrated towards Seattle. I nee-d to go to meet Nate so we can fish together.

Elena: Of course. I didn’t get a good catch yesterday but today will be different.
Nate: Definitely. Let’s set our things.
Elena: Okay.

Red-haired woman: Help! Someb©dy plea-se! Help me!
(Vincent rushes into the water to save her)

Red-haired woman: plea-se! Help me! Get me out of here!

Elena’s Grandmother: She’s asleep. Don’t wake her up.
Elena: Okay.
Elena’s Grandmother: Elena I have a suggestion, The rich man who lives uphill is in nee-d of a maid, Maybe you could get a job there.
Elena: You mean Mr Leon?
Elena’s Grandmother: Yes.
Elena: I thought he alre-ady has a maid.
Elena’s Grandmother: He had. The maid ran away.
Elena: Ohhhh
Elena’s Grandmother: Yea, And now’s your opportunity.

Red-haired woman: I’m Cas-sandra.
Vincent: So what happened yesterday? How did you end up in the sea?
Cas-sandra: (looks around puzzled) I….. I can’t remember.
Vincent: So you have any relatives here in Atlanta?
