The rain continued raging like it was angry with the world. The lightning struck down like Thor's hammer and thunder roared angrily in the night sky. 

The cold wind pierced through her skin but she didn't even mind it. Her heart was aching. She remembered Ezekiel's words and her grip around her knees tightened as she slightly rocked back and forth.
