Rain stood on a hill that was right outside of her village. Her long black hair blowing in the wind and her soft grey eyes stared at the sky.
"What a nice day,"she said as she closed her eyes. She put her hands behind her back as she sighed."Why can't every day be like this?"she asked herself.
"Rain!"Her mom called.
Rain turned to face her mom."What?"Rain asked sweetly.
"Have you forgotten about your chores?"her mom asked.
"Oh, I forgot to milk the cows..huh,"Rain replied.
"Yeah, now you have to make dinner and feed the chickens and wash the dishes,"her mom said.
"Sorry for messing around mom,"Rain said as she went to go feed the chickens. Rain grabbed some corn and threw it at the chickens and left to start making dinner. Rain slipped on an apron over her white shirt and over her Levi pants. She started making steak and potatoes. She hummed as she cooked."Hey Rain,"a voice said.
"Josh? What are you doing here?"Rain asked as she turned back to the stove to hid her smile.
"Just came to see you,"he said as he wrapped his arms around her waist. She giggled and pushed him away. He chuckled and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Meet me by the hill at midnight,"he said.
"Ok..meet you there,"she said with a giggle."Well, goodbye for now,"he said and pulled Rain into a passionate kiss.
"Bye,"she said as she turned back to the stove. She turned off the stove and made the table. She put the food on four plates and poured four glasses of milk. She opened the door and called,"Dinner!"
Her brother ran through the door and sat in his seat."Mmm..steak and baked potatoes,"her brother said as he licked his lips. He reached for a fork and was aiming for his potatoes."Michael!"Rain yelled and slapped his hand.
"Oww, why did you do that for?"He asked.
"Your supposed to wait until mom and dad are here,"she replied as she sat in her seat. Her dad came in and took his seat."Hi dad,"Rain greeted.
"Hey sweetheart,"he greeted. Rain's mom came in and took her seat."Ok Michael, you can eat now,"Rain said as she picked up her fork. Her brother ate his food in about one minute."Mom may I be excused?"Michael asked."Yes, to your room that is,"their mom replied. Michael groaned and went up stairs to his room. They were all finished and Rain picked up the dishes. She put them in the sink and turned on the hot water. She hummed while she washed the dishes."We're heading of to bed,"her mom said.
"Night,"Rain replied as she started to wash her last dish.
"Night,"her mom said as she walked to her room.
"Perfect,"Rain said under her breath. She put away her last dish and looked at the cloak.
'Better get ready,'Rain thought as she took off her apron. She went into the bathroom and washed her hands and her face. She went and got her coat off of the coat hanger. She opened the door slowly so it wouldn't make a sound. She closed the door softly and ran towards the hill. She sat down on top of the hill."Hey,"Josh said as he walked up hill.
"Hi,"Rain said as she stood up. Josh wrapped his right arm around her.
"So how was it in at the marshes?"Rain asked.
"It would have been better if you were there with me,"he replied."That's so sweet,"Rain said after she gave him a peck on the cheek."I got you this,"he said as he lifted up the rose he was holding in his left hand.
"Its so pretty ,"she said as she took it in her hands.
"I love you,"he said as he kissed her on the forehead.
"I love you too Josh,"she said as she pulled him into an embrace.
He laid his head on top of hers."Hey Josh,"Rain said.
"What?"he asked.
"Do you thing we'll be together forever?"She asked softly.
"I'm not sure, but I hope we will,"he replied as he stroke her hair. Rain held on tighter to Josh.'At least his honest, rather than Luke,'she thought.
"Thanks for being honest,"Rain said.
"Why wouldn't I be honest with you?"he asked.
"Because some guys aren't honest like Luke,"She replied as tears fell down her face. Josh grabbed her chin softly as he made her look into his green eyes.
"I would never lie to you,"Josh said.
Rain closed her eyes and reopened them when she realized that his lips were on hers. Josh spun her as they kissed.
"Josh..I sorry for comparing you to Luke,"she mumbled against his lips.
"Its all right...I still love you,"he mumbled against her lips.
Rain moved away from Josh."Thanks for understanding,"she said. He smiled and he put his hands on her shoulders."What time is it?"Rain asked.
"One o'clock,"he replied.
"I better be going,"Rain said.
"Don't you have a day of?"he asked.
"Yeah,"Rain said.
"Lets meet at the park tomorrow,"Josh said.
"What time?"Rain asked.
"At noon,"he replied.
"Well until then. love you,"Rain said.
"Love you too,"he said.
"Bye,"Rain said.
"Bye,"he said and pulled her into a polite kiss. Rain ran home and open and closed the door softly. She tipped toed up to her room and change into her Pajama pants and shirt. She laid down and fell strait to sleep.
She woke up the next day and took a shower. She changed into black pants and a white shirt and a black vest. She put on her locket and her brown boots and walked into the kitchen for breakfast."Morning mom, morning dad, and morning Michael,"Rain said as she poured her a bowl of cereal. She ate and went to brush her teeth. She brushed her teeth and went back down stairs."Bye mom, bye dad,"Rain said as she reached for the door knob.
"Where are you going?"her dad asked.
"To the park,"Rain replied.
"Come back at Three o'clock,"her mom called after Rain.
"Ok bye,"Rain said as she rushed out the door. She ran all the way to the park. Josh stood by an oak tree."Hi,"Rain called to him.
"Hi,"he called back. Rain walked up to him and gave him a big hug.
"Want to take a walk?"Josh asked.
"Sure,"she said as she started to walk.
"You look nice today,"Josh complemented.
"Thanks, you do too,"she complemented back. He chuckled and said,"Thanks."
She grabbed his hand and they continued their walk. She smiled and thought,'Josh is such a nice man, but he's a better boyfriend.'
"What have you been doing while I was up at the marshes?"Josh asked.
"Same thing I do every day...chores,"Rain replied.
"And?"He asked.
"Missing you,"she replied.
"Just as I thought,"he said.
"Well did you miss me?"Rain asked.
"Of course, I was thinking about you every day,"he replied with a big grin on his face.
"Good,"she said and she started to dancing around."You're a goof,"he teased.
"So are you, and you know it,"she replied.
"So I am,"he said and started dancing with her. Rain giggled and pushed him to the ground. He pulled her down with him. She giggled hysterically."Hey,"a boys voice called.
"Michael!"Rain exclaimed and jumped up.
"Mom told me to come get you. Its ten minutes past three,"He said.
"Wait for me by the swings,"Rain said.
"Fine,"Michael said as he headed off towards the swings.
"Gotta go,"Rain said and leaned up and kissed him.
"See you tomorrow,"Josh said.
"Love you,"Rain said.
"I love you too,"he said.
"Bye,"Rain said.
"Bye sweetheart,"Josh said.
"Ok lets go,"Rain said to her little brother. They walked home. They walked though the front door. Rain sat down on the coach."Hey,"her dad called."Hi,"Rain said.
"You know what your growing into a very beautiful woman,"her dad said."Thanks dad,"Rain said.
Rain's dad stroked her hair and asked,"Rain, how is Josh?"
"Fine...why?"she asked.
"No reason,"he replied."Is he treating you right?"he asked.
"Yeah, he's the best thing that ever happened to me,"she said.
"Good, I don't want your heart broken again,"he said.
"Thanks dad. I love you,"Rain said and gave him a big hug.
"I love you too,"he said. Her dad went back into the kitchen. Rain lay down and looked up at the clock. It said Five o'clock.'Moms probably getting ready to cook dinner,'she thought as she closed her eyes."Dinner,"her mom called an hour later.
Rain got up and took her seat at the kitchen table. Her mom cooked sausage and soup.'Tonight's the night,'a voice said in Rain's head.
'Tonight's the night for what?'Rain thought. The voice didn't reply.'That was weird,'Rain thought as she took a bite out of her sausage.'Tonight's the night,'the voice chanted in her head.
"Mom may I be excused?"Rain asked.
"Are you sick?"Rain's mom asked.
"No, just tired,"Rain lied.
"Your excused,"Rain's mom said.
"Goodnight,"Rain said and ran up to her room. She laid down on the bed and the voice chanted,'Tonight's the night.'
Rain shook her head to try to make it go away. The voice kept chanting the same words.'Go away voice,'Rain said to the voice. It kept on chanting. Rain tip toed out of her house and to the hill. She sat down on top of the hill and the voice kept on chanting.'Please go away,'Rain begged the voice.
'Are you afraid Rain?'the voice asked.
'Go away, go away, go away!'she replied.
'Perfect,'the voice said and laughed an evil laugh.
Rain woke up on top of the hill. Her eyes widened in horror as she looked back at her town. It was destroyed and all that was left was its rubble. Rain ran towards her home or what was left of her home."Mom! Dad! Michael! Josh! Anybody!"She called with tears running down her face.
"My home,"Rain said as more tears fell down her face."Nooooooooooooo!" She screamed and fell to the ground crying. She started running, she didn't know were she was going,but she just kept on running.
