The Battleship Challenge [D5 - Calling]
100 Prompts Challenge [Rain]
Rain
She could still remember when she was younger, still living with her parents long before the Selection had even her Selection had not been a thought on anyone's mind, running outside in the light showers of rain with her siblings.
Adele had usually been the one in charge, making sure Aaron, Ainsley and her never managed to hurt themselves too badly. A few light scratches and a bruise or two were okay, but anything that caused more than a few drops of blood to be spilt and Adele had been calling their mother. Somehow their mother had always known exactly what to bring with her every time one of them managed to get hurt.
Sometimes she wondered what happened to that Adele.
Adele still looked out for her and tried to protect her but it was almost as if she had given up somehow.
There were only the two of them left. They only had each other left now, but it was if they were further apart then they ever had been.
The rain had always been something they had looked forward to as children. It meant that they could stay out just that little bit longer, and would not get into too much trouble for having stains and dirt on their clothing. It meant they could be innocent children for a few hours.
Now the rain only reminded her of what once was.
All the freedom and simple luxuries she used to have as a child.
The freedom she didn't know if Maxon ever would have.
Sometimes she regretted that.
