Well yet another one, I'm doing quite well writting these. It gives me muse something to do anyway.
# 54 – Nightmare, 261 words
At the first flash of light Serena had frozen like a startled dear, it had started to pour with rain a short while ago and she had no umbrella. She also hated thunderstorms, they caused her to hide under her covers at home and more often than not filled her nightmares. At the first rumble of thunder Serena dropped to her knees with a scream.
"Meatball head, you're meant to get out of the rain, not play around in it," Darien shouted from behind her. He came to stand in front of her and offered her a hand up, his other hand clung to the umbrella he was carrying, "come on, you'll be safe with me, lets get somewhere dry."
Serena stood up and huddled with Darien under the umbrella as they walked to the arcade.
Darien had watched Serena walk into the park a while ago as he stood on his balcony and had noted the blackening sky. He knew how much she hated thunderstorms and by the look of the black clouds rolling in this storm was going to be big. He had gone back into his apartment, grabbed his jacket and an umbrella and followed her into the park. The look of terror on her face as he had offered her his hand was not a look he wanted to see on her face again. It would haunt his nightmares for years to come, and he wished he could do something to stop thunderstorms, just so there would be one less reason for Serena to be scared.
