    Rain tossed her bag on the ground and sat on the cold floor outside of her classroom. She didn't understand why that teacher always picked on her, or treat her differently from the other students. With her classmates he was kind, called them by their first names, even showed worry for them; Rain on the other  hand was called by her last name, treated rudely, and was never shown an ounce of concern.
   "Damn....what's his damage anyway?" Rain shook her head, tightening her small ponytail and grabbed her pencil then returned to her little sketch that she had been working on. It was a small elephant covered with small designs; similar to henna designs or something like that. The only reason she started sketching it was because her older sister came to mind; Rain knew her sister Gemma's favorite animal was an elephant.

    Her blue eyes narrowed as she focused getting every small detail in; she sketched the small groves that were on the elephants skin, the long grains on their ivory tusks, how she wanted the design to be. She made sure she had every last detail that appeared in her mind showed in her little drawing. "Damn, I messed up that line." Rain looked away from the sketch and dug around her bag to find her eraser, not long after looking away a small trumpet like sound echoed through the empty halls.

  "Hello?" Rain's head shot up, pushing away any hair that had fallen into her eyes as she scanned the halls, yet no one was in sight. No band member or one of those kids that likes to bring their instruments and play the around school; it was just her, isolated in in the long, quiet hallway.

Yet as she looked around the sound happened again and silently echoed away, just like before. The strange thing was it sounded like it was directly in front of her; but no one was there. Rain shook her head 'I'm losing my mind' she looked back at her sketch to see a small elephant walking around on the page.
   Her sketch was no longer on the paper yet in a way it still was there, the small elephant had every detail she drew except it was alive. Her sketched was looking up at her as it marched around on the paper it was trapped in. Rain's eyes widen, she quickly rubbed her eyes and looked back to still see the small creature parading around the paper.

     Rain reached out her pale hand, fingers twitching a bit as she did. The moment she touched the elephant it turned to ashes; the elephant now in the paper once again and in the same pose she sketched it in. "Okay....okay....that was um....all right new picture!" Rain quickly flipped to an older picture that she sketched and needed to add color to. She brushed off the elephant as a hallucination and grabbed her markers and began filling in the old sketch. The picture was a small fairy that she started sketching around a couple weeks ago due to random doodling. She visualized how she wanted this mystical creature to turn out as she added to colorful details.
    She added on the fairy's gorgeous dark skin with freckles scattered around her nose and cheeks, the shine of her wings that resembled a dragonflies wings, every vein and curve in the leaf dress that was colored in the beautiful tones of autumn leaves. This time as she visualized and added on she didn't look away from the drawing, mainly because she had no reason to.

As she drew her arm away from shading the fairy she noticed a small blue, sparking spiral-like portal appear in the middle of the drawing, growing at a rapid speed. After it covered the fairy the creature flew out of the pages, flying around the sketchpad and Rain. Just like before with the elephant the fairy had every detail that she had added. It was an exact replica; almost like someone had 3-D rendered it. "No way....." amazed Rain attempted to touch it but, just like before, it turned to ashes returning back to it's original state. After a minute of shock and confusion Rain cracked a grin, quickly gathering her stuff and ran to the lunch room right as the bell to leave class rang.
