A Touch of Consonance

Chapter 3: Blue Storm

   Later, it started to rain harder, the sun is no longer visible, and the sky starts to get darker as midnight. 

   "Oh no!" Kipper panicked, looking up at the sky, seeing the dark blue sky lighten up by lightning strikes that are forming. Moments later, the sun reappeared but took on a blue color instead. Looking at the sky, we were completely wet by the intense rain, pounding on our faces. 

   "I'm scared," said Kipper, shivering. 

   "Look over in front of us! The sun is blue and its in front of us!" 

   "Oh no! What's happening?" 

   "Its a blue storm!" I ran forward to the blue trails to the top of the building to see the bright light. On the top, it was windy that the wall of rain felt sharp in me. 

   Suddenly, I heard loud music coming from another building next to me. Kipper followed after me. And then I saw the sun, starting to sprawl out more particles of sparks this time are blue. They were flying in the wind, straight forward like bees but also the rain fell on the sparks, making the ground glimmer. 

   Then one of the sparks fell on a latch that opened a hatch on the building. The lights on every building turned blue and every window and door was open. People on the streets were panicking, mistaking the sparks for a swarm of bees. We opened the hatch to go in the building and it was bright inside with blue lights on the ceiling and once we were inside, we closed the hatch tightly. 

   Kipper noticed something on the ground, which were many blue, wet particles in a pile. When I saw the particles, I picked them up but they were hard as a rock.  

   "They are dry." I spoke closely to Kipper. 

   "Sorry but... I have to go. It's already noon and there are lots of people that have been waiting all day in front of my store, see ya later Megan." He told as he looks at his watch. 

   "See you at the concert. I'll be there." I answer back and he exits out of the hatch, with more particles blowing in. I looked at the ground again and saw another blue spark pile and I picked them up again. 

   I took my communicator device that came with the mellotron, and transformed it to a sword. I cut the two hard piles in half and I noticed that there were crystals inside. Then I took the crystals and cut them in half and the inside of them looked strange. They were like sand and they were glowing purple like the sparks I saw earlier. In addition, they were flying all over me and making constant music whenever I sang the same song.
