Hundred Word Challenge: #14 Rain
Sabrina laid on her bed, listening to the soft pitter-patter of the rain.
"'Brina!" Basil called from the bottom of the stairs. She could hear his little feet trudging up the steps.
"'Brina!" he exclaimed again, once he was in her room. "It's so pretty outside! Come play."
Sabrina smiled at her brother. He didn't have to go through the night their parents were kidnapped. He had no objection to rain. "Sorry pal, me and rain don't mix well."
Basil looked at her, his face told he was confused. "You don't have to mix anything. Just come play!"
She just couldn't say no to him. He meant to much to her. She smiled at Basil before taking him downstairs.
They quickly put light coats on and stepped out into the pouring rain. Sabrina instantly cringed at the water's contact with her body.
In Basil's excitement he started spinning 'round and 'round. When he became to dizzy he let himself collapse onto the grass.
Sabrina walked over and hoisted him to his feet.
"Dance with me 'Brina!"
So she got down on her knees and took her brother's hand in her own. Back and forth, like a rocking ship they went.
She hastily scooped him up and threw him onto her shoulders.
"You OK up there, little guy?"
"Uh-huh!"
Sabrina took his hands again and started to twirl. They laughed together and eventually she fell onto the wet grass. Basil's giggles rang in the wind like music to ears.
No, Sabrina didn't like rain, but sometimes it was worth the sacrifice. Family, to be more precise, was always worth the sacrifice.
A.N.:
PenguinLoverGurl: Actually, it wasn't late for me. It was 7:30 were I am. Why on earth were you awake that late anyway? (On a school night?)
