DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VICTORIOUS.
Prologue
Storm's Coming
It was a windy day in Los Angeles. The trees were creaking and cracking in the fierce wind and the wind howled as it blew and blew. There seem to be no end to this. The sky was gray and filled with storm clouds that rumbled with thunder. The lightning struck in short bursts and lights up the sky. Over the Pacific Ocean a storm was brewing. This wasn't any ordinary storm. It happened to be a massive hurricane.
On a hill on the west side of L.A. a house in a neighborhood was full of life. By full of life, it had six occupants inside. All six of them were in the living room, watching the news about the upcoming storm.
"The winds do not seem to be stopping," the weatherman explained to the camera. "Satelite imagery shows that a massive hurricane is brewing over the Pacific Ocean and is heading towards SoCal at an alarming pace." he continued. This earned gasps from everyone in the living room.
The occupants were teenagers who go to Hollywood Arts. Tori Vega is the new popular singer who recently arrived at H.A.; Andre Harris is a prodigious muscian; Cat Valentine is the bubly, naive jack of all trades performer; Robbie Shapiro and his annoying puppet, Rex, is the ventriloquist who doesn't like to be referenced as one; Jade West was the Gothic bitch of the gang and a studying actress; her boyfriend, Beck Oliver, who is almost emotionless, is the leader and also a studying actor.
All six of them had been watching Drake & Josh when the show was interrupted by the news for a weather bulletin. Tori and Andre were sitting close to each other on one of the red couches; Cat and Robbie, with Rex, were close too, but were being awkward about avoiding each other's gaze; Beck and Jade were the closest of them all. Jade was sitting on Beck's lap with his hand on her ass.
"Anyone got any ideas?" Robbie blurted out after the weatherman announce that the hurricane, now name Hurricane Rick, was a category five, the highest category, with winds said to be exceeding 200 mph, the most powerful hurricane ever recorded. The storm was to hit L.A. within three hours.
"We need to move fast and get supplies before the flood hits." Beck stated. Jade leapt off his lap so he could stand.
"The larger markets will be swarmed, so we'll have to go to smaller ones." Andre added.
"Agreed." Tori replied, standing up nervously. Everyone turned to Cat, who was cuddling with her purple giraffe and had a terrifed look.
"I'm under my bed, I'm under my bed, I'm under my bed." she whispered to herself.
"It'll be ok, Cat." replied Jade, who was grabbing her jacket to get ready to leave.
"We should get going" Rex stated. Everyone except Cat nodded in agreement. Tori, Andre, Robbie, Beck, and Jade got ready and grabbed keys and headed for the front door when...
There was a huge explosion outside that caused everyone to take cover. The explosion shook the ground.
"What the fuck was that?" Jade spoke out everyone's thoughts.
"I don't know." Beck answered for everyone. Tori gingerily got up and went to the front door and opened it slowly. There was a car, or at least part of a car blocking the path.
"Shit; there's a car blocking us." Tori explained. Andre and Beck moved forward past Tori and started shoving at the car. It wouldn't budge.
"Let's try the garage." Beck suggested. This was followed by several more explosions. The tv shut off and the lights flickered off.
"Now what?" Robbie asked. Tori headed for the door that lead to the garage. She opened it and screamed while jumping back. The garage was in ruins. Full of cars with various degrees of damage. All of the blocking any way out. Andre, Beck, Jade, and Robbie approached and looked in the garage.
"Is there another way outta here, Vega?" Jade asked nervously. This wasn't like Jade at all. Tori looked at her with disbelief. Jade was nervous and scared, like an animal in the zoo.
"Let's try the backyard, we might get lucky." Tori explained and led the way to the backyard. She walked up to the backyard door and peered out. She looked for a few seconds before turning back to the approaching gang.
"Um, it looks like we'll be here for awhile." Tori stated, struggling to control herself. She was shaking and she was on the verge of freaking out. Andre moved forward and gave her a big hug. The backyard looked a lot like the garage did. Cars and trucks littered it and piled high and looked unstable. It was now raining and there was howling winds and claps of thunder and lightning was striking everywhere.
"We're trapped here?" came Cat's shaky voice. The gang turned to the littlest of the group, surprised that she spoke. Robbie went to her and sat down next to her. She put her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"We can't be! There has to be a way out!" Jade shouted, freaking out.
"Calm down baby, everything will be alright." Beck replied trying to calm his girlfriend down. This seemed hard for him since he too was freaking out a little, but he was more in control of himself than Jade was.
"Alright?! You call this shit alright?!" Jade shrieks at Beck. She is clearly terrified. Even the tough Gothic gets scared.
"Freaking out won't help much, Jade!" Andre defended Beck. Jade rounded on him and gave him her trademark death glare. It would be scary if she wasn't scared shitless.
"What do we do?" Robbie voiced everyone's thoughts.
This will be a long day.
