When the rain started to pour down, Lucas caught hold of Belle's hand and pulled her, making her run right behind him. The rain hadn't started slowly as after a few drops of water it felt as if buckets of water were being poured from the sky. He pulled her towards the closest shelter which was available as they had walked quite a distance from the mansion.
She couldn't see anything after seven to eight steps because of the force of the rain and she kept up with his footsteps and when they finally reached a small shelter like a cave, he let go of her hand and that part of her skin suddenly started turning cold with the atmosphere.
The rain continued, and the ground they were standing on filled itself with water. With both their clothes wet, Belle bent down, wringing the ends of her dress with her hands as it was soaking wet. She then stood up, looking at the trees that she could see and the rain that looked like it was not going to stop any time soon.
