Lightning flashed white in the sky overhead, a skeletal hand

clawing futilely at the darkness. As the light faded, an echoing

thunderclap boomed through the air, and below, the small

figure of Darren McGraw jumped, a startled yelp escaping his

lips. Eyes narrowed, he attempted to see through the heavy

onslaught of rainfall, searching for his playmate and constant

companion, who had vanished somewhere amidst the thick tree

trunks ahead. "Adam, where are you? Wait for me!"

Suddenly, tanned fingers curled around his slender wrist and

his gaze snapped up a few inches to peer at the dark-haired boy

who'd materialized beside him. "Dare, you're too slow."

Darren glared. "I am not!"

Adam smirked, reaching out to muss Darren's sopping blond

hair. "Come on. Let's go home before the storm gets worse."

Another rumble of thunder jarred the ground beneath their

feet. Darren clutched at Adam's hand, pulling him to a stop

beside a towering tree. "Let's wait a couple minutes."

"What's wrong?" Adam asked with a grin. "Are you scared?"

Darren wanted to deny it, but the next crash of thunder

nearly sent him out of his skin. He trembled, clinging to Adam's

hand like a lifeline.

"Don't worry." Adam was abruptly serious, the teasing gone

from his voice. "I'll protect you."

Darren smiled shakily and released Adam's hand so he could

wind his small arms around his waist instead. He buried his face

against the damp material of Adam's shirt. "Do you promise?"

Adam's arms snaked around him, tugging Darren tighter

against his chest. "Of course."

"Adam?"
