BLACK RAIN

By Kellee L. Greene

Chapter 1

Every morning I woke up in tears, and every night, when I laid down in bed, I had the same horrific nightmare. I was reaching out for Jamie, trying to save him, but no matter how hard I tried, I failed. Each and every time.

Danny and I had been at my grandma’s house for at least two weeks, and still, there had been no signs of Nick and the others. There hadn’t been any signs of life at all except for Danny and me.

Tom’s men never came after us after they’d kidnapped us and tried to make us part of their community. Not that it had been much of a community. I wondered if any of Tom’s men had survived when their enemies came in and shot their guns.

It wasn’t like I cared if they hadn’t survived. In fact, it would have made life easier knowing they’d all bit the dust and weren’t out there looking for us. But the only thing I knew for sure was that Jamie hadn’t survived. He died in that horrible place, and I was reminded of it every time I went to sleep. Not that I didn’t also think about it every single minute of every day.

Danny was kind though. He made sure I ate. He kept watch more than his fair share. And he sat with me every night until I fell asleep.

I couldn’t shake the feeling that something had gone wrong and we wouldn’t ever see Nick, Bronx, or Blair again. Maybe Tom’s men had lived and found them. Or maybe Tom’s enemies had gotten to them.

The back door creaked before closing with a heavy thud as Danny pulled the door closed. The lock clicked into place before Danny stomped through the kitchen. He muttered something as he kicked off his shoes.

His soft steps tapped down the short hallway from the kitchen to the living room. I turned away from the window and caught his eye.

Danny’s hair was dripping wet, and his shirt clung to his body. “Sorry, but I tracked a bunch of mud into the kitchen.”

“What were you doing out there?” I asked, worried he may have already told me and I hadn’t been listening.

“Working on the garden. Don’t worry, I’ll clean up the mess before I make dinner,” Danny said, shifting his gaze toward the window next to me. “Anything?”

He always asked that even though I was pretty sure he knew I’d let him know if I saw them. Or anyone for that matter.

“Nothing.”

“They’ll come,” he said. It was what he always said.

I shook my head. “Maybe.” And that was the same thing I always replied when he told me that.

“Isn’t the ground too wet to work on a garden?” I asked as Danny peeled his shirt off and started up the stairs.

“I said I was sorry for tracking in the mud,” Danny said running his hand through his hair. The damp pieces spiked up toward the ceiling. “If the sun keeps shining, it’ll be ready in no time.
