It was raining.

IT was raining HARD.

So hard, that if any of your skin was left uncovered that it felt like you were being stricken with thousands of tiny pins.

And the harsh wind didn't help better the situation either.

Nor did the thunder or lightning.

In the bad part of Domino City three figures ran in the rain, seeking shelter.

The tallest one was a young man of his late teens. his torn pants and dirty short sleeved shirt clung to his body as he carried something in a bundle, trying to keep it dry. he was running a bit dangerously because his dark green hair kept getting in his eyes.

He was holding the hand of his sister in also in her late teens. she was wearing no shoes as she ran through puddles with the young man and her hooded black sweater wasn't keeping her any drier then her brother, her pants sticking to her as well and her curly dark hair was poking out of her hood.

The lightning flashed and the bundle that the young man was holding yelped and shook in her sopping wet bundle.

The young man looked around and saw a huge house that had a balcony.

He sprinted over to the balcony with his sister and sat down on the concrete flooring.

both he and his sister gasped as they caught their breaths and tried to dry themselves off.

"i-is she awake?"

"I *pant* think so"

He slowly unfolded the top of the bundle to show a young girl of 12 shaking. her silver blue hair was somewhat dry and her blue eyes held tears. As thunder clapped she screamed and clung to her older brothers body.

The young man rubbed the girls back and made calming shushing noises.

"Its ok Ella, really. It's just pretty lights in the sky making the rain seem more happy."

Elanora shook her head and clung to her brothers body making the young woman giggle slightly.

"What, I don't get a 'I'm so scared hug too?' guess she plays favorites Kal."

Kal gave her a look as she postitioned herself on the opositte side of the two.

"are you jealous Cassie?"

Cassandra snorted, "of course I am! she's my adorable sibling too!"

Another thunder clap and scream lead to the older siblings huddling together to keep warm and calm the younger one.

Cassandra started to hum a song while stroking Elanora's hair causing the girl to relax her grip on Kal's clothes somewhat.

Cassandra: "Little child, be not afraid
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight"

She gave Kal a look and he started in as well.

Kal: "Little child
Be not afraid
Though thunder explodes
And lightning flash
Illuminates your tear-stained face
I am here tonight"

Cassandra wipes the tears from Elanora's cheeks and eyes.

Cassandra: "And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning"

Kal took the bundled blanket that was wrapped around Elanora and lightly dried the hair around her face.

Kal: "Little child
Be not afraid
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams
Still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight"

Cassandra took out a slightly damp handkerchief and wiped Elanora's nose.

Cassandra: "Little child
Be not afraid
The wind makes creatures of our trees
And the branches to hands
They're not real, understand
And I am here tonight

And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forest and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning"

Kal's face fell into a sad smile as his closed his eyes in remembrance.

Kal: "For you know, once even I
Was a little child
And I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears
Trade sweet sleep the fears
And to give a kiss goodnight

He opened his eyes and smiled down at Elanora and held her tightly

Well, now I am grown
And these years have shown
Rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close

Cassandra drew in closer and hugged her as well.

Kal and Cassandra: "And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning"

Cassandra kissed Elanora on the forehead and she tussled her hair slightly.

Kal tucked the blanket around the young girl as her big blue eye's slowly started to close.

Cassandra: "Everything's fine in the morning"

Kal: "The rain will be gone in the morning"

Kal and Cassandra: "But we'll still be here in the morning"

Just as Elanora snuggled into the blanket asleep, the door behind them opened.

"hey, what do you guys think your doing? you see how hard it's storming?"

It was a young man in his teens with blue hair and aquamarine eyes. he had on a white pajama's with blue spots on them.

"sorry, but we really don't have anywhere else to go. you don't mind if we just wait out the storm here do you?" Kal asked.

the blue youth stared at them and then Elanora sleeping in his arms.

"actually I do mind"

Kal hung his head and Cassandra looked lke she was about to say something particularly nasty when the blue youth spoke again.

"you guys can stay with me until the storm dies."

Kal and Cassandra smiled broadly.

"thank you, thank you so much. my name is Kal, these are my sisters Cassandra and Elanora"

the youth smiled as he lead them in.

"names Jesse, and you can stay as long as you want."
