IT was a rainy, chilly day with slow cold wind that left shivers on those who were exposed to it. People walking down the street some in rainy coats while most wielding just umbrellas were startled by the rumbling thunder.
The lighting streak running across the sky seconds before the rumbling thunder. The pavement ground was soaked with water and so were the surrounding plants.
This has been Jennifer Aniston's worst day. The persistent downpour of rain was almost like it emulated her tearful eyes. She was on her knees crying bitterly in agony with only one wish on her mind, that all this was a dream or a bad mirage, she wished their would be no tombstones in front of her, she wished that her parents were alive to hug, pamper and console her. Her persistent and oblivious cry crushed everyone who came along to witness the funeral of her parents.
"Jennifer, sugar plum please, That's enough you are completely soaked if you stay out here much longer your going to catch a cold. Come inside and we will take you to your new home". A lady with a sweet and soft voice gently caressed her shoulder. She raised her head to reveal a fairly aged lady in her mid 40s with a nice, sympathetic look on her face. The woman softly smiled at Jennifer as she used her silk handkerchief to wipe the tears off her eyes and cheeks, she cried even harder when she felt the warmth and comfort from the woman as though it was her own mother. The woman looked perplexed and gave her a consoling hug. They both remained in that state for a while until Jennifer had stopped crying and broke the silence asking;
"Who are you?" She asked looking beyond the woman a man fairly older than her had approached them to stand beside her.
The couple looked at each other and kindly smiled.
"We are a friend of yours mother's, my name is Mrs Mirabel Griffin and this is my husband Donald" . She continued " from now on you will be living with us. We will be your new family". Jenn was shocked even some worth a bit offended.
"But what about my parents if your going to be my new family", jenn said. "Honey am sorry about your loss but your parents are gone and their not coming back, it's unfair yes but thats just the way life is".
Mrs Mirabel took in a deep cold breath and tilted her head in pity and continued.
"I know you miss them but in as much as they are gone they will always be a part of your family", she said this pointing to Jenn's chest.
"But for the time being you will be staying with us and we will take good care of you so that your parents can rest in peace". Mirabel explained carefully and softly as not to trigger Jenn to anger. Jenn looked up and took a gaze at the woman and embraced the woman, she quickly found comfort in her words as she was convinced the woman was telling the truth. Jenn turned and gazed at her parents tombstones one more time .
She turned and followed the couple, she didn't have a choice but to follow this couple, she really didn't know what to do after loosing her parents at a very young age. Just 15 years of age and as naive as they come, there's not much a girl at that age can do for her self.
Totally clueless and afraid Jenn taught ,"from now on I'll have to face this world on my own" the taught of going through life on her own frightened her. Within herself she was certain going with the couple was the way to go. As they all Departed Jenn smiled bitterly, it was not supposed to end this way.
It was supposed to be one of those family bonding that her family always look forward to ever weekend. They originally planned to stay at home but she insisted on going to her favorite theme park. She really begged her father to take her there. Her Dad later agreed; It was raining that day, and there was a busy traffic. Her dad liked to crack jokes while he drives so they always laughed and teased each other, when suddenly, the car flung into the main way from the right at an amazing speed. It all happened so fast and swift within a blink of an eye. Just like that her ordinary life was over.
Her family was gone, she often blames herself for thier death because they might just have been alive if she didn't persuade her Dad to take them outting. She sighed.
On the route to her new family life, the couple mentioned that they had a son who's presently enrolled in school. Mr. Donald claimed that his kid is attractive but can be nasty and unpleasant sometimes. Jenn found it interesting that they had an offspring as she wouldn't be alone after all. She's always wished for a sibling, an elder brother in this case. She even remembered crying to her father expressing her desire for a brother. Her father would always laugh at her remark. She was saddened once more when she remembered her parents.
It was still pouring but not as heavily as previous and there was no thunder and lightning streaks across the sky.
After a long drive they pulled up on a driveway to a lonely home. The house was three stories tall and had a large yard. Jennifer took a good look out of the car window at the house.
Mrs Mirabel smiled and said, " That will be your new home, Jennifer". "Yes this would be my new home but I would always prefer a home where I can be with my parents " Jennifer whispered to herself.

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself.

"Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
Elodie took a deep breath and knocked, the sound echoing in the quiet corridor. A moment of silence passed, broken only by the pounding of her heart. Finally, the door snicked open, revealing a surprised Dashiell. 'Can't you see the Do Not Disturb sign? We don't want-' His initial frown quickly morphed into confusion at the sight of his wife. 'What are you doing here?' he demanded. 'Your girlfriend invited me,' Elodie replied, her voice laced with icy calm. She tried to peer past him, but his broad frame blocked the view. A saccharine voice chimed in from within the room. 'Elodie? Oh dear, we didn't mean for you to find out this way. It's just that-' Elodie cut her short. 'Oh please, Selene. Spare me the fake apologies. You wouldn't have sent me all those texts if you didn't want me to know.' Dashiell shifted uncomfortably, his face a mask of annoyance. 'What texts?'
