" What !"She breathed out instead , it felt as though she was being squeezed in a very small tight rubber tube that she even lost the energy to speak properly." Are you related in some way ?" Chloe smiled awkwardly at the absurdity he was spurting."

She has more on her plate than to think of a mere thunder.The tears that she has been holding all this while broke down the barrier holding them and rolled down her cheeks .The small drops of rain caressing her face made her hairs clung to her face Suddenly the small droplets of rain crashing on her face turned fiercer so much that her body hurt.As she looked around her everything appeared foggy and she could barely see a thing .
