Raccoon City
Sheriff Blaine escorted Rayne to Raccoon City. When they entered the town, at night that is, it seemed like a normal town. Rayne's foster parents lived in an expensive apartment.
Her foster mom seemed like a perky woman. She had blonde hair, and brown eyes and always wore a lot of pink, Her name was Ashley. Thom was her husband. He had dark hair and eyes, and he always wore baggy clothes. Hailiegh, their 5-year-old daughter had long dark brown hair and blue eyes like Rayne, after the greetings, Blaine started on his way home.
"Well, let me show you your room!" Ashley said cheerfully. Rayne rolled her eyes and followed her to a room with a full sized bed and a dresser. "Tomorrow dear, we'll go on a shopping spree!" Ashley left Rayne to rest in her new room. Hailiegh stood in the doorway.
"Rayne…may I come in?" Her voice was so soft. Rayne had a soft spot for kids.
"Sure!" She patted the bed, "Come sit," Hailiegh sat next to Rayne and smiled.
"Mom loves shopping. But I don't… I'd rather go explore than go to a store." Rayne smiled at her.
"Well, I'll take you sometime."
"Really?"
"Of course!"
Raccoon City was a large town full of life. All the teens spent their Friday nights at a bar on the outskirts of town. This, Rayne learned from Ashley. That woman got on Rayne's nerves, unlike Thom who spent his time drinking beer and watching TV.
One Friday night Rayne decided to visit the bar that the teens hung out at. It's a good thing she did because now she has 2 friends. Vann, a tall, skinny boy with dyed black hair and dark eyes, and his brother, Conrad, short but muscular with brown hair and brown eyes. For the past few weeks, she's practically spent all day with them and Hailiegh. She had not had the chance to explore the old mansion.
The chance came one weekend when Ashley and Thom went to Vegas. They left Friday night, leaving Rayne $1,000 for whatever she wanted. As long as she took care of Hailiegh, but that of course was no problem.
The night they left, Rayne stayed up late. It was 1:00 am and Rayne was sitting in her bed reading. In the corner rested her electric guitar. She played that quiet often. She closed the book she was reading and adjusted her black pajama pants with blue flames. Just as she rested her head on the pillow a small-frightened voice called her.
"Ray, Ray" Hailiegh stood terrified in the doorway. Ray was Hailiegh's nickname for Rayne.
"What's wrong Hailiegh?" Rayne sat up and looked at the small girl.
"I had a bad dream about the dead coming alive!"
"C'mon, you can sleep with me." Rayne pulled back the covers to let Hailiegh crawl in. "What do you say we explore tomorrow. Just you and me!" Rayne turned the light out by her bed.
"Promise?"
"Promise."
