Manfred's New Girl

Disclaimer: I do not own any Charlie Bone characters. I do in fact own Rain Drakes.

'Why did I have to go to this new school? Why did I have to have this supposed special talent to seeing, controlling, and talking to the dead? Why could it have been someone else besides me?' All these questions swam around Rain's head through out the whole ride to her new school. Let me remind you that she was forced into going. Her parents say that there is nothing wrong with being different, but if that were true, then why did she have to go to a different school?

Rain sighed, as she watched the homes fly by through her open window. Her shoulder length, black hair with sliver streaks flew about her face wildly. Sometimes her hair would smack her in her heart shaped face. Her sliver eyes were open to take in her surroundings. She was small for her age; she was 16 at the height of 5feet. All in all, she was a very attractive young lady. Though, she never thought of herself that way.

"You know, Rain, the school might make you change your clothes," her mother said while she eyed her daughter at a red light. Rain was a gothic girl, who wore everything that was dark. Her favorite colors were black, blood red, and sliver. No one ever approved of Rain, because of who she dressed. But, she didn't care. She would rather be alone than to have everyone try to change her into those fake Barbie dolls.

"If they make me change my clothes, then I will teach myself on how to control my so called "gift"." Rain said while she turned to look at her mother. She saw her mothers face turn white. Rain had tried to control her powers before, but that didn't end too well. Rain got poised by a demonic spirit and almost lost her life trying to get the demon out of her.

"Well, let's hope that they will expect what you wear then, shall we?" Her mother stated with fake happiness. Rain sighed again and got out of the out of date Volks Wagon. Rain has been sighing a lot lately. She looked at her new school and went to the doors to meet with her mother, who ran ahead of her while she was checking out the school. The mother knocked on the brass door and waited for someone to answer. After a few minutes, some teenager, no older than Rain, did answer the door. What Rain saw took her breath away.
