The deluge continued, raging before her, roiling the red water beneath it. Tabitha sat in ankle deep crimson water, watching the ongoing downpour. With her brown eyes fixated on the quite out of place rain, the pink haired girl slowly climbed to her feet (her lower half thoroughly soaked with reddish fluid).
She tensed, something within the rain (something approaching) drawing her attention. The humanoid entity stood at roughly her height, but the raging rain obscured its appearance. She had half a mind to run yet found herself rooted to the spot.
"Another me?" she mumbled (a confused expression on her face). The rain drew apart much like curtains, revealing a figure that looked almost exactly like her (the only difference being that the other figure had red irises).
Tabitha gasped, taking a quick step back, red water splashing. The other her just smiled, tipping a nonexistent hat. Droplets of clear water fell from the tunnel's ceiling as the crimson rain continued at both sides of the double.
Without a word, the other Tabitha turned to leave, the falling rain closing around her, the red water splashing with her footfalls. A moment later, she and the rain vanished from sight, Tabitha releasing a breath she had unconsciously been holding.
The brown eyed girl stood alone in the tunnel, droplets of clear water dripping from above. At her feet, the ankle deep water still shown a deep crimson, ripples forming at its surface due to the water drops falling into it.
