She absolutely could not wait.

She had been waiting for this day for ages, quite literally, and now it was almost here. Though she would not let anyone else know that.

Rainey had been six when she decided she simply could not wait to meet her soulmate. After she had seen her parents and understood the concept, she imaged them down to the size of their shoe- a six, if you were wondering-. Rainey took pride in her soulmate. Even if they were lower class like herself. Her parents were both low class and they were perfectly happy so she should be to. However, after eight years of bulling she told herself it was time to grow up so, at the age of 14 young Rainey had decided that she was not going to worry about her soulmate until the drops started.

"Rainey, Breakfast," A sweet voice called through the apartment.

"Coming mom" Rainey answered.

Rainey looked at herself in the mirror. Her long brown hair fell in their natural princess curls down her back, and her light green eyes sparkled slightly. She put on the slightest bit of makeup, mascara and lip-gloss. She wore a beige sweatshirt, a pair of old worn jeans, and a pair of off brand tennis shoes that were slight bit to small.

"Rainey hurry up," A male voice demanded banging on the bathroom door, "I need to use the bathroom,"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going," Rainey sighed opening the bathroom door.

"Finally," A boy almost identical to her whined.

Rainey rolled her eyes as she walked away from her younger brother. She turned down a hallway that led to the small living and kitchen. They only had the bare minimum of a couch and small box tv in the living room, and a small worn table with four chairs around it in the dining room.

"Hey mom," Rainey greeted sitting down at the table, "Were is dad?"

"He had an early project at the castle this morning," Her mom answered.

Rainey gave a small hum in response as she waited for her mom to finish breakfast.

Her eyes scanned the small room admiring the few pictures they could afford. There was on picture that her mother had taken great pride in. Rainey had remembered that her mother had spent almost three years saving for the picture. She had remembered getting the picture done, she had hated the photographer. He was a cruel perfectionist, so a picture that could've been done in just a couple hours had taken almost a week. It was nothing more than a simple family picture that needed an update. It had her mom and dad standing in the back both looking signifyingly younger, and Charlie- Rainey's brother- and Rainey sitting on a bale of hay.

Elizabeth woods, that her mom's name, had grown older since that picture. Her once vibrant brown hair had streaks of grey giving her a small salt and pepper look. Her eyes had grown a shade deeper of green making them an almost forestry color. She wore her favorite outfit for work, a pair of extremely ripped and worn mom jeans, that had almost seemed too big, and an old t-shirt of Rainey's dads. She stood in front of the stove as the bacon sizzled.
