Chapter 1:The Last Rain
My beauty sleep was terminated by my ringing phone , I raise my blanket off my face attempting to check who the sleep devourer was.
“Well he's London's most loyal boyfriend ,then who? I thought , I am done playing the understanding girlfriend role ,memories with kia from Friday night came flooding in.
I reach out for my phone and turn on airplane mood, speaking of airplanes ooh shot! I almost forgot I had a flight to catch.
I could finally afford a plane ticket to Bustom island , after working from one part time s**t to another, all thanks to baby lily our vice chancellor
Who thinks it's a wonderful idea for Ravenwood university to go on an indefinite strike .I get out of bed , doing my chicken dance ritual all the way to the bathroom.
The thought of missing my flight made me bathe in just four minutes - not so girly I know ! but I was still able to wear my lucky charm pendant .
My birth mother obviously thought it would be a fantastic idea ,to leave me outside the orphanage ,on a carton with a pendant , and now I have to hang it around my neck everyday like a lost puppy looking for its owner.
"I'm rushing to get ready, my heart flooding with both excitement and anxiety. I'm finally escaping the chaos of Ravenwood University and embarking on a solo adventure to Bustom Island.
I can finally get a break from my hectic part- time jobs . I grab my suitcase, double-check my flight details, and head out the door.
The chilly morning breeze blowing my flora gown , as I hail a taxi, I'm doing this – I'm leaving my monotonous hectic life , fun time here I come .
The taxi speeds away , and I gaze out the window, watching the city fade into the distance. I'm ready to trade in my stress for serenity and make unforgettable memories on Bustom Island .
My flight to Bustom island was not without claustrophobia. I took out my sleep mask and slept on, I have been sleep deprived for weeks and my eyes needed all the rest.
I unpack my luggage in island breeze inn, lock the door , only to find a forever puppy sitting at the balcony , this puppy had fur as white as snow , complimenting its blue eyes
I reached out my hand, touching its neck and it felt so soft ,this puppy had a pendant on its neck with the inscription ” rain”, the poppy ran off sight in an instant .
“did you by any chance see a white forever puppy
Walk down this balcony ?”
I stood up Almost immediately, to a redheaded pretty guy with emerald colored eyes .
“I… i… saw it running off “ I muttered
“Thanks” he said giving me a wink, and runs off
I step out of the hallway and felt a hand tapping me .
“I just checked the CCTV footage, the last part before the glitching was of you touching my puppy “
he says , raising his eyebrows.
“Excuse you” I say with widened eyes
“I no my puppy is so tantalizing” ,but surely you didn't have to steal it? He said with a demanding tone .
“Well, Mr red hair” I say with my hands on my waists “some of us have dignity and won't stoop so low to steal a puppy” I say in an intimidating tone.
“
“Well, if you didn't, then who? “He asked
“ the hostel staffs have searched everywhere “
He said in a low tone .
“Hmm..let's search outside he hotel “ I suggest.
“OK thanks” he said nodding his head
I pushed the white gate open as we both walked out keeping our eyes on the floor, the rising sun sun for some reason smiled intensely on us .
Redhead had beads of sweat all over his face, and his white short sleeve was all sock showing off his biceps. I can't help but bite my lips .
I
I see rain from a distance “oooh! Its rain!” I exclaim, I pointing towards the woods and running off, with a smiling sheepishly
I carry rain with both hands for some reason it fur felt sticky
Red Hair reached out to lift rain off my palm but couldn't.
Ray has glue all over its fur
“Wow, great! Now we are tangled”
We both tried the push and pull method causing rain to let out a light bark
“Let's just try other method “ he said looking straight into my eyes
His eyes were closer to mine , it has the blue charm, I could only nod in agreement .
Although my mind disagreed, I mean who wouldn't want to remain tangled with this guy who's giving all “pretty boy” I noticed his lips had the love shape lips
“Hey “
His voice brought me back to reality
“Hmm..” I reply
“I know I have a pretty face, but could you just focus, miss? we re stocked it's getting uncomfortable…”
“You wish, u overestimate yourself “ I say with a raising my eyebrows
“ I was just thinking of something else” I say
“Well , the only thing that should cloud your mind right now , should be this” he said turning his eyes to the direction of our dilemma
“We are several miles away from the island breeze in ,all my eyes could see are tall trees and dried leaves : which make funny sounds as we walk.
“ Look behind you there's a cottage “ he says
I turn my neck and my eyes landed on a rusty cottage that could pass for Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights with its Gothic aura .
“Why aren't you moving? What are you scared ?”he asks .
“Noo…i am not” I reply, but this cottage sent shivers down spines , two owls flying in rotational method above the roof, making unpleasant sounds .
I gulped when I notice a broom which reminded me of “the wicked witch from the west”
“Wait….hmm.. I don't want to go in its creepy “ I say , with trembling lips
He burst out laughing, his diastema complimented his cheek dimples and for some reason, I sigh.
Almost immediately the sun and dark cloud switch shifts , and the cloud cried heavily on us,
““Miss scared, would you rather get drained in the rain or seek shelter there? “ he asks
His hair was all wet as beads of rain drops rolled down his face.
“Look, the glue is washing off !“ I exclaim with excitement .
We tried the push and pull method again,
and this time we won the battle against the glue .
He carefully held rain on one hand and slowly peel off the glue
The rain subsided and we attempted heading back to the island breeze inn.
An old man suddenly bursts out from the bushes, holding a knife: this old old man needs no costume to look like a beggar on warm cloth,
His hair hung on his head like an overused mop stick
Rain jumped on the old man's face causing him to lose his balance and land on the floor.
The old man slashing rain with the knife and throwing rain off his face.
All that my eyes met was rain in his own pool of blood.
