"Follow Me," the girl asks as she walks towards the jungle happily and Raine quietly follows.
"Why are you asking me to follow you in here always?" she asks the girl who just keeps walking without answering her.
"Hurry up" she shouts at Raine and Raine stops as the girl has gotten very far away from her.
"I don't want to" Raine shouts back in irritation.
"But, I want to show you something" the girl even if she whispers it Raine hears it clearly.
"First tell me who you are?" Raine asks the girl.
"I will when you will know who I am" the girl grins before she disappears and Raine frowns.
"Wake the fuck up" someone shouts at Raine shaking her harshly.
"What?" Raine asks as she looks around to find herself sleeping on the canteen table.
"You need to go sleep in your own room and this is the last time I will re-heat your coffee," the man who woke her up says as he puts a cup of coffee in front of her.
"Thanks" she shouts before holding the cup in her hand.
"I will go crazy," she hisses thinking about her dream, which looked so real.
The little girl has been showing up in her dreams for the last few weeks always wanting to show her something but for some reason Raine does not want to follow the girl, scared.

"Hey Raine" Chris greets as he walks through the door with a smile on his face.
"Hi Handsome, how's your training on going?" she asks not so enthusiastic this morning.
"Bad shift?" he asks seeing the dark circle under her eyes.
"More like cannot sleep because of the nightmares" she sighs sadly.
"So sorry, for what happened with you and Ariel. Who would have thought the man we thought was Eric was not" Chris tries to cheer her up.
"Ya well have to go back to work now, see you later" she waves her goodbye walking towards her den she has been hiding after that fretful night.
Something changed drastically, after that night. Raine was not herself most of the times; she was scared to sleep because the girl keeps showing up in her dreams.
All she has to do was close her eyes, the girl will take over her, and then there were things that Thomas told her, about her, that she does not wish to think of.
The man was a liar, so whatever he told her may be all lies but still in some corner of her heart she wishes it was true.
*******
She fell asleep, Raine knew as soon as the girl once again appeared in her dreams asking Raine to follow her.
However, this time the girl takes her to a different place, a long forgotten memory she had locked up inside her head.
"It's all up to you now" the girl smiles and disappears.
Raine stands as she watches the scene in front with a smile on her face, this particular dream was not just a dream it was a story, story of how she came to became Adriana.
*******
"Stop following me" Dante grumbles as he looks back at the bundle of dirt.
The little girl do not stop, she stands and stares back at him with a little pout.
Dante sighs tired as he cannot believe his luck, luck of his that made him stumble in front of the girl and now she has been following him all along.
Dante was lost, plain and shamefully simple. He had come following traces of Thomas but before he could realize it was a trap, he fell for it.

It had been hours that he was trying to find a way back but failed, and just his luck that he came across to the little bundle that has followed him.
It was by mistake that he found her, he had heard a groan first and while inspecting he found the girl sleeping on the ground filled with filth and dirt.
The first thing he noticed was her eyes, which were staring at him as her whole body covered in some smelly black thing.
"Did you come to get me?" the girl had asked him as she stands up from the ground and walked near him.
The smell coming off her makes him stumble a bit.
"No, I am lost" Dante answers and then mentally berates himself for telling the truth.
"Oh great, I am lost as well. Let's get lost together" she tries to smile going to hold his hands but Dante clutches it to his chest.
"Don't touch me, you...you ugly little thing" he scolds her before walking away from her trying to find a way out.
That is how she came to follow him, no matter how much he tries to hide away she finds him.
"What are you even doing in here?" he finally asks even if he does not want to get involved.
"How will I know?" she shrugs her shoulders.
"Then who knows, do you not have parents who will search for you?" he asks the girl.
"What are parents?" the girl asks looking straight in his eyes.
"Your mother and father, family anyone who knows you" he sighs deeply.
"Mother, father?" the girl whispers thinking about the strange word.
"Listen, do you know a way out of here?" he asks, as he just wants to get out.
"No, how can I? I am lost; I came far away today, stupid flying fly" she grumbles kicking the stone on her way.
"What is your name?" Dante finally asks feeling a bit bad for the lost girl.
"My name, it's Miracle" she answers happily.
"Miracle...fuck my life if I am ever going to call you that, you are not a miracle you can never be a miracle" Dante scoffs at her name before looking her from head to toe.
"You...you are an ugly duckling" he finalizes making her stare at him.
Before they say anything else, a loud rumble is heard far away and suddenly it starts raining drenching them both.
Dante curses the timing before rushing for a shelter, he looks around him to find the girl still standing under the rain with her hands thrown out.
He watches silently as the girl gasps and tries to catch the rain in her hands and he sighs as the water washes away her filth.
"What is happening?" the girl asks loudly still standing under the rain.
"What else, it's raining," he shouts back in answer and the girl stares above her in awe.
"Raining, this is raining," she giggles.
"Why have you never seen one?" he asks finding it strange.
"No, this is cool, raining, I think I love this raining" the girl shouts all of a sudden as she turns to face him and smiles brightly.
A big light flashes just as she smiles and Dante gasps as something hard hits him in his heart seeing her smile.
He watches in awe as the little girl runs around playing and getting drenched by the rain.
"Rain" he shouts at once halting her movements.
"Rain" she shouts back jumping on her foot.

Dante walks towards her with purposeful steps and takes his coat off wrapping it around the girl.
"Yes Rain, if you stayed out here any longer you will get sick," Dante states as he picks the girl up, suddenly sadness feels within him, making him feel guilty.
"But I love this rain, can we stay for a bit?" she asks with a smile.
"Don't smile you ugly duckling," he scolds her irritated.
"But I am Miracle"
"No, you are not...how about we change it into something else, how about Rain" he thinks on it and the girl cheers.
*******
"Take her away" Rom shouts at Dante as he stares at the girl sitting in his office.
"I can't, I already have three of my own running around. And what if Jane thinks she is mine from one of my one night's I had before she came into picture?" Dante asks as he rubs the towel on his head.
"I don't care, what do you want me to do with her? Fuck, Dante"
"Fuck, fuck what's fuck?" Rain asks and Ana looks at the men in displeasure.
"Nothing sweetie"
"But why do you keep telling it so then"
"Because I love to fuck"
"Does that make you a fucker, like the one who plays is a player, the one who jokes is a joker," she asks innocently and both Rom and Ana bursts out laughing.
"Actually Rain from now on call him Mr. Motherfucker," Rom laughs loudly.
"Oh fuck you," Dante grumbles as he throws the towel towards Rain covering her.
"Seriously, Dante we cannot keep her in here it's too dangerous"
"Put her into the HP academy for all I care but keep her till I find out who she is and how she got lost...
I am sure someone must have been searching for her moreover I cannot let her leave, she does not even have a fucking smell on her" Dante points out as he glares at the girl.
He walks towards her and wraps the towel tightly around her as she tries to pull it off her.
"I cannot see, Mr. Motherfucker," she shouts trying to pull the towel off.
Dante curses as he let her go and warns her never to call him that.
"Fine, I will let her stay for a while but you need to find out who her parents are, you do know HP is for special kids only she cannot keep up with them," Rom warns as he asks Ana to take the girl away.
*******
"Mr. Motherfucker" Rain calls as soon as she sees him walking into the school grounds.
"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that?" Dante scolds her and she grins.
"Then can I call you daddy" her smiles grows.
"Never, just call me you master, ugly," he states and her smile falls.
"But everyone has a daddy or mommy"
"Too bad ugly you don't have one, anyway why did you want to see me as every one of the people who meets me ask me to go see you...
You do know I am a very important person and a busy one right?" he asks her sternly and she nods seriously.
"I do, I do. I just wanted to show you this" she smiles before pulling out her report card.
"See, I got addition in everything" she stats proudly.
"I love Add," she continues while Dante checks her report card and winces remembering how bad his own kids are failing on all of their subjects.
"This is not Add, it's a plus" he replies handing her back the card.
"But this is an addition sign" she mumbles pointing at the A+ sign.
"That's not add Rain it's A plus"
"No it's Add"
"It's not Add Rain"
"Add," she shouts at the top of her lungs, which gathers passerby's attention.
"Fine, fine it is add, what you want me to do," he asks not wanting to have a fighting match with the girl.
"I want a gift"
"What gift?"
"I got Add for everything and everyone says it's a good thing so" she smiles sweetly and he smiles back sweetly as well.
"Okay, then. I have a perfect gift for you," he states making her happy.
"Give me, give me," she chants continuously.
"Seeing how you love add so much I am going to add a add in your name"
"What?"
"Now on your name will be Adriana" he grins patting on her head while she groans.
"And since we are on the subject I also wanted to be a wizard" she grumbles kicking on the stone.
"I think ugly duckling is the correct spelling" he smiles before leaving her alone.
*******
Raine slowly opens her eyes after that dream she had of the memories she long ago forgot.
"So, you were right, I am a Miracle," she mutters looking above the ceiling.
A knock on the door makes her stare at it and she sighs as she finds Dante standing outside of it, seeing the expression on his face lets her know he was not happy with something.
"What the fuck did Thomas do to Ariel?" is the first question that is out of his mouth as soon as the door opens.
"I don't know"
"Then who does, it was you, Ariel and Thomas who were alone in here so answer me"
"I really don't know what he gave her, all I know is he did inject her with something, I could not see it as their back was to me"
"Still, anything, try to remember he must have said something," he asks tiredly as he rub his face.
Raine keeps quiet not wanting to lie as Thomas did say something to her, something no one else needs to know right now.
"I am sorry," she whispers getting behind her seat.
"Anyway, where did you run to anyway? We did not find you for a while and when we did you were unconscious in the forest" he asks her and she opens her computer trying to act busy.
"I don't remember much about that night actually" she answers busying herself but halts when Dante abruptly spins her chair and makes her face him.
"You will not hide anything or lie to me right?" he asks her seriously and she nods slowly.
"Good, because I trust you ugly, never forget or try to break it," he asks of her and she nods again.
Dante smiles ruffling her hair before he goes to leave but stops with her question.
"Dante, why did you never try to find who my parents were?" she asks suddenly and he frowns.
"It's not like I did not tried to, it's just that no one ever searched for you to begin with. I needed more than just a name of yours to find them"
"May be if you had posted my pictures or something then" she continues.
"I did, but there was no one who came forward, may be they just thought you were dead or you were just an orphan from the start"
"But I am alive"
"Yes, then there is only two options left, either you were an orphan or just an unwanted child" he states and her heart drops to her stomach.
"Dante, if it ever comes to choosing between me and anyone, will you choose me?" she requests.
"Depends, what if it is between you and my mate then you know the answer to it"
"Yes, but still you will think of choosing me right, at least once. May be some part of your sub consciousness will ask you not to abandon me right?
I mean choosing me will not be regretful right. I mean even I can be worth choosing, huh?" she asks desperately.
"Whoa, where is this coming from?"
"It's just"
"Relax; you will never be in a position where anyone has to choose between you or someone...
Go get something to refresh your mind" he suggest before leaving her.
"Then why did my own father not choose me, why did my own mate choose someone else?" she asks just as the door closes.
