Chapter 2: Rain
**Let there be no moon
Let the clouds race by
Where the road meets the sea
Let the tide be high.**
Kaoru shivered slightly in the cool night air, the smell of rain filled her senses. She began to walk, lost in her thoughts, until she found herself near the ocean. The waves had picked up, crashing together and onto the sand, a huge difference from the lulling peace it held when calm. Clouds began to cover the moon, leaving the girl in an eerie blue light. Her sandal-clad feet carried her parallel to the sandy shore of the ocean, on the only road that ran through the poor town. A gentle wind brushed the bangs out of her face, followed by the rumbling of distant thunder.
**Let there be a girl
Walking by the sea
And let there be rain!**
A soft trickle of rain began to fall, light beads of water sliding down her face. A shiver ran down her spine, yet not from the cold. She started to feel apprehensive, thinking about going back home, yet an invisible force seemed to move her feet, carrying her further along the road. The thunder drew nearer, the rumbling felt as if it could vibrate the ground. Despite the rain on her face, the girl lifted her gaze to the road, where a pair of headlights from a car were now visible, driving down the road in her direction.
'Nobody owns a car in this town. Only the rich own cars,. why would one of them be driving now? Here?' She knew she should move. But Kaoru remained in her previous pace, alongside the road.
**Listen to her prayers, full of hopes and pain
As she stares down the road, in the pouring rain.
Rain on the road, rain on her face,
Rain makes a road such a dangerous place!**
"Something's wrong. oh gods, something's wrong!" She whispered to herself, shielding her eyes from the rain that was now relentlessly pounding down. The car had begun to swerve, the road not stable enough to direct the tires.
**Let there be a car, racing through the night
Where the road meets the sea, let her wait!
Where the road meets the sea, let him spin!**
She gasped in horror as the car spun, veering off the road and onto the sand of the shore. A squeal of tires, followed by a crunch of metal echoed the booming thunder. When the thunder ended, Kaoru was met with a deafening silence. Her eyes scanned the scene, and seeing no movement, she began to run to the wrecked car.
"Hello? Are you hurt? Can anybody hear me?" She called.
No answer.
Kaoru reached the driver side of the car, fearing the worst. There was a broken windshield, broken door, broken everything.
"Hello? Can anybody hear me?" She tried again, trying not to sound panicked. She fought with the door handle, wrenching the door open. The driver lay face down against the steering wheel. She peered in over his shoulders, but he seemed to be the only one in the car. With suprising strength, she wrapped her arms around the driver's motionless form, and pulled him away from the car, laying him on his back in the sand. Terrified, she slowly moved her eyes from the blood on his chest upwards, fearing the worst. No punctures on the neck, yet she gasped when her eyes met his face.
**Where the road meets the sea.
Let their fates begin in the rain.**
The clouds had partially broken, leaving enough light for Kaoru to see his face clearly. A smooth, handsome face with a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek. Flame colored hair. A little bit older than her.
Her childhood savior.
"Hello! Are you alright? Please, answer me!" She cried, almost frantic for an answer. The man's eyes opened, for the briefest of moments, revealing clouded violet eyes.
"Please." the word he had spoken sounded raspy, pained. He closed his eyes once more, sliding back into unconsciousness.
"No! Please stay awake! I can help you! Please." she whispered, and then called, hoping someone nearby would help her. "A car has crashed! A boy is hurt! Someone, anyone! Please help me!"
