Chapter 1:

It was a sunny day in Pasadena California while a young woman with long dark brown hair and blue eyes was yelling after her sister as she grabbed her purse.

"Chloe come on! We're going to be late!"

She then heard her baby sister yell in her room. "I'm coming Adriel! Sheesh you are so impatient!" The young girl said as she walked out and rolled her eyes. Adriel glared at her little sister and crossed her arms over her chest. "Chloe I don't want you to be late for school plus I have to do my rounds in less than 45 minutes and we're already late!" Chloe sighed and slowly shook her head. "You know when Mom and Dad were alive they didn't…" Adriel then immediately became agitated and glared at her sister.

"Mom and Dad are not alive anymore! It's my responsibility to take care of you and make sure that you live a good life! Just please give me a break Chloe!"

Chloe frowned; she knew that Adriel was under a lot of stress after their parents died. However, she just wished that Adriel would lighten up when it came to her. It seemed that everything was a hassle or an issue with her and even though they had three amazing neighbors living next to them, who helped them out with every chance they got it still was a difficulty. She knew that Adriel was finally finishing up her residency at Cedars Sinai however, the long hours and stress had definitely taken its toll on her.

Chole knew that there were days that she took her anguish out on her older sister but it's just because she misses how her sister used to be before their parents died.

Adriel was always so much fun and full of life that Chloe always wanted to be around her and used to want to be just like her but that all changed after the accident.

Ever since Adriel had learned that she now had complete full guardianship over her sister it was like a 360 change. Adriel acted as if she was more Chloe's parent than sister and as much as Chloe thanked every day that Adriel decided to keep up the guardianship it was very obvious that her sister was getting more and more overwhelmed. She just wished that Adriel got a break, something to just ease her nerves so she could learn to have a little bit more fun and not stress over work and trying to be a good guardian. She looked over at her flustered sister as she grabbed her white coat and keys then looked right over at her.

"Are you ready?"

She asked, Chloe silently nodded and grabbed her backpack. "As ready as I ever will be." Adriel smiled at her sister and walked up to her, placing a strand of hair behind her ear.

"You look very pretty today."

Chloe couldn't help but smile at her sister's compliment and giggled. "Thanks!" Adriel began to laugh as well and nodded at her. "Alright sweetie let's move it or lose it!" Chloe nodded as she followed her sister out of the apartment and rushed down the stairs.

Once they got into the car they immediately noticed the terrible storm that was going on outside. The thunder rolled loudly, the rain pouring as if it was a monsoon and the lightening scattered across the sky. Adriel quickly turned the car on and the wiper blades as they pulled out of the garage. She quickly flipped on her lights and started to head down the road towards Chloe's school.

"Man the storm is insane today!"

Chloe said as she stared outside the window, Adriel nodded as she kept her eyes on the road. "No kidding! I don't remember the weather channel saying anything about severe thunderstorms in our area. I guess it's just a fluke." Chloe nodded as they were now stuck in a traffic jam.

Adriel sighed out of agitation obviously because they were going to be late once again, but suddenly the lighting started to get worse as there were shrouds of electricity flying across the sky, the rain and wind were getting heavier and heavier. Chloe started getting more worried as the traffic slowly moved. Adriel then jumped as lighting strikes close to their car.

"Chloe try not to get too close to the window!"

Chloe then glared over at her.

"How am I supposed to do that!?"

Adriel glared back at her sister and was about to say something until flashes of lighting surrounded their car. Chloe yelped as Adriel held both hands on the wheel. The lightning engulfed around the car but never touched it.

Adriel's heart was starting to race in fear as the wind shook the car, the lighting showering down before them and the rain now starting to turn into hail. She then quickly grabbed her sister's hand as her eyes widened in pure shock and in a small second she immediately looked over at her sister in fear.

"Chloe…"

She whispered as a flash of light appeared before her eyes.
