Misery's Company – a Ruby Gloom fanfic

Prologue

I sighed contentedly, closing my eyes as I leaned against the slate hill behind me. I felt so at peace here, alone, sitting in that tiny part of the river that had a sleek bed and only an inch of water. Not to mention the honeysuckle bush draping over me like a weeping willow; it was as if I was being separated from the real world and could relax and live in my own. The solitary, perfumed air made it all the more enjoyable – here in the forest, skimpy as it was, you got all the fresh scents of nature in the air, but right in "my spot", you had the honeysuckles and the river making the air all the more sweet.

Today had just seemed like the perfect day to be here in Big Creek Parkway, since I saw that sky… The moment I looked out my window and saw those beautifully dark and heavy clouds rolling in, I had an urge to go dancing in the rain. The only problem was that whole parental protection thing… My parents would never let me go alone, they never had and probably never would until I moved out… Well, I managed to work my way around that with a little creative planning, and after making one phone call and getting permission to go with Saundra, my friend and her dad came and picked me up… then dropped me off and let me enjoy my alone time. (I had only said we were going together; I never said we'd stay together!)

So now here I was, all alone. I opened my eyes and looked towards the sky, smiling as I saw how full those clouds looked, bidding for rain to come any moment now. All I needed to do to make this day perfect was to wait for the rain to actually come.

And that's when I heard the scream.
