outside the library doors,Ā Ā @witch3d and cassie stand beneath the small shelter provided by the stone arche.Ā Ā her skin is still splashed by the rain,Ā Ā her arm bearing the marks of those little drops.Ā Ā Ā it seems as if the entire world is drowning:Ā Ā the grass stretches out in front of them,Ā a deeper green than before.Ā Ā in the middle of the garden lies a statue--Ā Ā thereās so many statues here.Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā so,Ā Ā whatās that statue of?Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā she fiddles with the umbrella,Ā Ā huddling a little closer to bonnieĀ Ā (until she gets the umbrella sorted,Ā sheāll use her body to shield the other--Ā Ā itās her fault for being annoying with it,Ā anyway).Ā Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā is it another one of the town founders?Ā Ā thatās kind of crazy,Ā Ā by the way.Ā Ā care--Ā Ā caroline was telling me about it all.Ā Ā Ā āĀ Ā Ā the umbrella bursts open.Ā Ā she wraps an arm around bonnieās shoulder,Ā Ā gathering her closer,Ā Ā so neither of them are splashed with rain.
