Review!
Chapter 1
She ran as fast as she could. Lightning lit up the sky and was followed shortly by a loud crash. Serena screamed.
Why did she always have to put things off until the last minute? She could have been home and dry, wrapped in her warm fleece pajamas and cuddled with her big stuffed bunny while she happily hid in her closet until the storm stopped. Instead, had been stuck at school, finishing up a project that should have been done days ago.
The sky lit up again and she started to cry as the ground beneath her shook from the thunder. Her cry was not the normal wail that her friends were so used to hearing, but instead the heavy whimpering of a terrified girl.
Her thin school uniform was plastered to her skin, having been soaked through by the torrent of freezing rain. Her teeth chattered and her stomach quivered. Her body was shivering, the effects of the cold weather already having numbed her exposed flesh.
Still, she kept running.
The large puddles beneath her went unnoticed as Serena splashed through them. Unfortunately for her, however, one puddle hid a rather large crack in the sidewalk.
She went tumbling to the ground, her knee slamming into an unseen piece of glass. Her hands reached out to catch herself, but the momentum was too strong and they only managed to slow her down before she crashed into the flooded concrete.
A pain shot up her right arm when she tried to push herself up and she fell back to the ground. Her body trembled with sobs as she lay helpless under the downpour of the bitter rain.

Darien walked quickly to his apartment, glad to be under the warmth of his heavy raincoat and the shield of his large umbrella.
"30% chance of rain, my ass." He shook his head at the weatherman. If he thought it would do any good, he would write the weather station and reprimand them for their incompetence.
He turned the corner and was glad to be almost home when he saw a tiny form crumpled up on the side walk ahead of him. He hurried over and gasped when he recognized the unusual hairstyle.
His heart started beating faster as he knelt down next to her and rolled her over.
She was still breathing, but she looked so pale and her lips had taken on a sickly blue color. He quickly scooped her up in his arms and noted how deathly cold she was. The hospital was too far of a walk and his only mode of transportation was his motorcycle. Knowing that his motorcycle would be useless in this weather, especially if he tried to carry an unconscious girl, he rushed into his apartment building.
He just hoped that he had gotten to her in time.
Hope you liked it!
