Chapter 10: Rain's Bracelet

It was a Saturday afternoon, and the kids were playing at the park. "I love Saturdays." said Jake, as and Jacqueline played on the teeter-totter. "So do I." she agreed. "Yeah, no school, we've already finished our homework, and we can play all day." said Griffin, as he swung on the swings.

"Hey, I'm getting hungry, what do you guys say we get some lunch?" asked Ava. "Yeah, I could eat." said Owen, and all the other kids agreed. "Where should we go?" asked Maisie. "I know just the place." said Ava.

She led her friends away from the park, and to Nina's Cafe, a restaurant owned by her mother, Nina Thumbell. They went inside, and were greeted by Nina. "Hi, kids." she said cheerfully. "Hi, Mom." said Ava.

"Hi, Ms. Thumbell." said the other kids. "I assume you've come for lunch." said Nina. "That's right." said Ash. "Then, come on in, and grab some seats. Menus are on the table." said Nina. The kids grabbed some tables and booths, and looked at the menus.

After ordering their drinks and food, Rock noticed Rain's bracelet. "Hey, Rain, I was wondering why do you where that bracelet all the time?" he asked. "Well, it's a great accessory, and it helps keeps my powers under control." Rain explained.

"Really, how does it do that?" asked Coral. "I can tell you the story of how I got it, it was years ago back in 1st grade.

Flashback 2 years ago

The kids minus, Jazz, Coral, Ava, Jacqueline, Luke, Fred, Rock, and Nick were in 1st grade and were taught by Ms. Jill (from the Jack and Jill story). One morning it was story time, and Ms. Jill told Rain to pick out a book.

"Hmm, which book to pick?" Rain asked herself. She pointed her finger at the books, when suddenly a bolt of purple lightening came out of her finger. The lightening destroyed the bookshelf, and caused the other kids to look at the scene.

Rain had a look of terror on her face. "Rain, what happened?" asked Ms. Jill. "I don't know, I just pointed at it." said Rain, holding out her hands. Suddenly her hands started to glow purple, and she started floating.

The kids started to get scared and began screaming, Ms. Jill tried keep everyone calm, but started to panic when she fell down and hurt her leg. She told Rain to go to the principal's office, and there her mother was called.

A while later, Raven showed up, talked to the principal, and took Rain home. "I didn't mean to cause trouble, Mommy." said Rain, as the two walked home. "I know you didn't, sweetie. Your magic's finally kicked in." Raven explained.

"Magic, I'm magical?" asked Rain. "Yes, like me." said Raven. "I can use magic now just like you, that's great." said Rain. Raven frowned, and said, "I'm afraid it's not that great, Rain." "What do you mean?"

"Well unfortunately, we're decedents of dark magic, since we're evil queens and all." said Raven. "You mean I can only use my magic in bad ways?" asked Rain. "Sadly it's true." said Raven.

Hearing that made Rain feel sad, what was gonna happen now?

The next day, Rain slowly made her way to her classroom. After what happened yesterday she hoped her friends wouldn't be afraid of her. She poked her head in the classroom, and saw that the classroom had been repaired.

Ms. Jill saw Rain's head in the door, and told her to come on in. She slowly did, and took her seat. Soon some of her friends came up to her. "Hey Rain what happened to you yesterday?" asked Kit.

"Yeah, purple lightening shot out of your hands." said Maria. "My mom says my magic's coming in." Rain explained. "You have magic?" asked William. "That's cool." said Fern. "No it's not, I can only use it in bad ways." said Rain.

"Why?" asked Ash. "My grandma's the Evil Queen, so because I come from evil, I can only use my magic for evil." said Rain. "That's a bummer." said Sequoia. "Yeah, but maybe it won't be that bad. I mean it's not like I'm going to shoot out magic everywhere." said Rain.

But unfortunately, that's exactly what happened. On the playground when Rain wanted to jump rope, and all of them were gone, she got a bit upset, which caused purple lightening to come out of her hands.

At art time, she accidentally spilled paint on her shoe, and she got annoyed which caused her magic to destroy her shoes. She was relieved when school was over, and he dad picked her up. "Hey, Rain how was your day?" asked Dexter.

"Awful, Daddy, my magic kept messing things up." said Rain. "Sorry, sweetie." said Dexter. "What am I gonna do?" asked Rain. "I'm sure your mother will be able to help." said Dexter. That evening at dinner, Rain told her parents what had happened.

"Anger can cause your powers to go off." said Raven. "But what do I do?" asked Rain. "I have just the thing." said Raven. She got up from the table, and got something out of a bag. It was a small white box.

"This should help." said Raven, handing it to her daughter. "Thank you." said Rain, taking the box. She opened it, and saw a silver, purple, and black bracelet. "Wow, it's so pretty. But how will it help?" said Rain.

"It's a special bracelet, it'll help keep your magic under control." explained Raven. Rain put it on, and they finished dinner. Later, when was watching TV, when her dad came in. "Rain, it's time for bed." said Dexter.

"Aww Daddy." said Rain. "Sorry, Rain bedtime." said Dexter. Rain felt frustrated, but to her surprise her magic didn't go off. "Hey, it works." said Rain happily. "I knew it would." said Raven, coming in, and the family hugged.

Back in the present

The kids were just finishing their food. "And that's why I where this bracelet." Rain finished. "That's a cool story." said Nick. "Yeah, and I haven't taken it off since." said Rain, and she greatly admired her bracelet.
