Chapter 2:
But their happiness didn't last long…
It's been a whole year since Edward and Rain came to Mother Teresa's Orphanage and they lived happily, it's Christmas and the children gathered to sing Christmas carols as they were interrupted.
A man was lead by a caretaker of the orphanage into the chapel.
"Edward? Come here please." Said the caretaker. Edward walked toward them in his white robe.
"After much research, we have come to believe that this man;" she said pointing at the man in a black suit "Aro Cullen, is your grandfather. He has searched for you for many months and now you are reunited. You will be living with him from now on."
Edward remained silent and stared at nothing. By now all the children in the chapel had heard and Rain was silently letting tears pool up in those beautiful brown eyes and escape down her pale cheeks. The stuffed white toy dolphin she had with her all the time was now clasped to her chest.
He only shouted one word "No!" and he ran toward Rain. He grasped her hand and dragged her out the door.
It was raining heavily as they made their way to the pond in the park nearby; they stopped running and just stood in the rain.
Edward still held onto Rain's hand as she clutched the dolphin tighter to her, still crying silent tears.
"Don't cry Rain, I'll always be with you no matter what happens. I promise I'll come back for you." Edward was crying too.
"You promised to keep the bad dreams away! If you aren't here then they'll come, I'll be scared."
"You need to learn to be brave, not scared. Promise you'll wait for me to come back and be brave while I'm gone."
All she could do was nod.
Edward took off the necklace that he always wore, he broke it in half and tied a half to Rain's left wrist and the other half to his right wrist.
"This will remind you of me and protect you from the bad dreams. Be strong."
With these last words, he was taken away in a black limo.

Rain waited…days, weeks, months for Edward to come back for her. Meanwhile Edward tried to convince his grandfather to adopt Rain too. Rain held the dolphin to her at night and stroke the bracelet that was given to her by Edward.
He was right, it did keep the bad dreams away, but she missed his terribly. Every night she would pray to god, pray to him to let Edward return.
It was 17 months; the last time Rain saw Edward. All the children at the orphanage had found new homes. Rain was sick of waiting and was angry. One day a woman came to Mother Teresa's to meet Rain. She didn't like her, but was told she had to leave.
As the woman held her hand to lead her home, Rain dropped her white dolphin and Edward's bracelet at the aisle on the Chapel.
While the two walked out of the Chapel and passed a corner, a little boy rushed past them and into the Chapel.
Edward ran in and immediately spotted the white dolphin and bracelet that belonged to Rain. He rushed toward the discarded items and picked them up. He knew he was too late. Rain had already moved on.
Please review and tell me what you think! ^^
