Chapter One

The rain poured and the sky was heavy with steel clouds. Was it cold or did the dreary atmosphere cause it to feel that way? No one could know for sure. The clouds rumbled as the wind whisked through the crisp air as if taking the thunder along with it. The rain tapped onto the wooden box in front of them; there was no pause between them. The drops slipped down the box silently like tears falling. Puddles formed onto the ground and waited for new rain drops to join them.

A flash of lightening struck through the sky, bursting a stream of light. The sky got brighter, but only for that moment. The trees began to droop, the leaves were pulled and small branches snapped as the wind whipped about. No storm had been more violent. No storm had been more melancholy. The only escape would be to run and hide, but even then the sounds of the thunder and droplets of rain would be piercing and would cause all to shiver at the thought.

The lightening struck again and all wept one last time.

A/N: Okay so this is short, I know, but I really like it and I didn't want to ruin it with the next part. So I plan on this being a very short story, but I have been asked to write something and so this is just a way to please my fans. I wrote this one day when I was really upset so sorry if it gets kind of…how to put it…depressing, but I was really upset and so this just came to mind. I hope you liked it!
