Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 rainy season

The gentle breeze that brushes through her hair, A soft coldness that cover her skin, knowing it's that time again, Anna still feel shaken from the situation that took place but she slowly looked at Nate as he slowly guide himself, following to where ever the wind carry him, Feeling a bit uneasy, she stayed indoor as the rain began to fall lightly, she listening to the quiet songs of the rain touching ground, she carefully listened for any desperate cried that may be lurking within the shadows, but none couldn't let out a single sound.

Nate looked towards Anna and told her, "you don't need to worry no more, this is the time to rest and take it easy, no monster will be in your way" She couldn't truly take his words, she knows that those creatures would still be out there waiting for a chance to kill her. But Nate kept a gentle voice and try to take her out from the building to feel the moment of peace. He told her that "This is a blessing that our god give us a chance to live longer, people who used to be alive, called it his sorrows grace of remorse"

"To put it in a short meaning, Holy rain" Nate put her hand out that once was cover in scars, just a rain drop, it slowly heals the scars, she felt the warmth and the coldness that circles around her whole body, removing the pain and heaviness that she been carrying for so long, those voices that she used to hear, has gone silent.

Nate continue to pulled her away from the building as both of them, moved on to find another location that's safe for now, Walking along the quiet streets feeling free from the dangers that might appear once again, for the first time Anna feel relaxed, during her time surviving alone, she always kept herself hiding, waiting for the rain to stopped, thinking about how the children used to play and ended catching a cold. she sneeze a bit and hugs herself to feel a little warm, Nate flew around, looking for something to cover her completely. He notices a raincoat that would looked cute on her, It looks big but it would be great to keep her from being more damped.

Anna continue shivering, trying to warm herself up, regretting to let a ghost talked her into it, Nate came back in time, giving her the raincoat to keep herself dry for now, she looked at Nate with a bit of anger but she was thankful for his help, Anna looked at the raincoat, its color looks so beautiful and it glow a bit in the shadows, The clouds would became darker as The two continue along the empty streets. Nate looked back and wonder to himself on how it used to be for her, Having no friends or family to keep her safe or comfortable. Curious about how she managed to keep her self alive, Nate stopped for a moment to pulled Anna to a corner, he place his hand to cover her mouth as some fly passed them.

Nate didn't know that drones would still be operating for this dead of time, he speak to himself, mumbling that there could be survivors, Anna looked at the drones, curious on why it roams alone, A small rat, made its way, running to looked for shelter, as soon as it made a sound, The drones turned its way towards the animal and shoot it down with multiple bullets that piercing through the ruin building, nothing but blood that covered the wall, Anna was in shock when drone scan its surrounding area and move on, Nate slowly hold his hand out, carefully lifting and iron bar towards the drone.

"Monster been eliminated, scanning for any creature:

The drone turned around and prepare to fire its guns, Nate grabbed the iron bar and swiftly destroy the drone before it get the chance, He used his powers to destroy another one that was hidden from behind the rubble, Anna began to run from the area as Nate follows from behind, killing any drones that came to view, The rain began to fall heavier as endless numbers of drones, aiming there weapons and firing towards them, Anna was running out of breath as Nate continue to shield her so she won't end up in the crossfire, He release his power, slowly destroying every single drones, "This won't even end" Just the moment he about to destroy another, A lighting would strike right in front of him shocking the girl and the drones in one, Anna fell onto the ground, out cold.

Moments Later, She open her eyes to see him sitting on the ground, she place her hand on her head as she slowly looked around to know that they're hiding under a bus shelter next to a bus stop sign, Anna couldn't remember what had happen but she moved off from where she was seated and walk towards Nate, She looked at him as he hasn't turn his attention to her, She wave her hand in front of him but he continue stare out in the distance. The rain grew more heavier as both of them waited and listened to the song of a make shift river.

Anna stay quiet and drifts off to her own thoughts,

Thinking about the times of when she felt so afraid of dying..

Few months back when she was all alone,

She used to tag along with her a stuff animal of a white polar bear, Her named was lulu, the only toy that never tried to kill her, Anna used to be happy, it felt like she was alive and cheer full, both never grow apart from one another...

All good things must comes to the end but she slowly remember a song that someone or something used to sing to her.

Anna kept her eyes close and sang the music that gently played within her mind that drew Nate attentions to her:

La-La

 La-La.. La

Anna couldn't sing no further as her memories began to turn blurry, but she felt a cold embrace from Nate, She don't know why he's doing this but she continues to watch the rain fall heavenly.

Moments before:

Nate was calling out her name as Anna couldn't open her eyes, She was out close and slowly breathing as The rain continues to fall more heavily onto them as more drones, slowly scan the surrounding area, He carried anna to a safe place and Looked directly towards the drones.

Nate ready himself as his power overflow with density, The sky grew darker and darker as theatmosphere around slowly shifted to destroy itself, The moment Nate lift his hand, Anna would hug him back which pulled him out from his mind set, he slowly looked at her as she was scared to even be close to him, he slowly looked around as he notice multiple of weapons, pointing at her, he throw all of them away from her as he slowly float close to her but Anna moved far and run away from him...

"What... Have... I..... Done.." Nate looked at himself first as he then run after her.
