Disclamier.

Shilo smiled, "Axel? Do you really think that we belong here? It seems so fancy! We are NOT fancy people."

"Don't worry! It has a really nice surrounding, but it's just a corner Café!" Axel laughed.

Shilo shrugged, and looked around. A small family of five were sitting at the table across them. The smallest, a pair of twins, were jumping around while the father tried to get them to calm down. The other person there, a girl around 14, just kept smiling. A young girl suddenly walked up to Shilo and said, "You go to the Sunday night movie club, don't you?"

Shilo started, "Yeah! How did you know... Wait! I'm and idiot! You're that girl who normaly gets paired with me, aren't you! Yen... Darning? I'm not good with people's last names!"

He heard Axel mutter in the back ground, "Or anything with people..."

Shilo turned around and slapped him across the cheek, and then turned back to Yen, "What are you doing here?"

Yen smiled, "My friend, Mint, he had a birthday a few days ago. He got some money and he invited me here!"

Shilo smiled and nodded. Yen left and Shilo tuned to Axel, "That was the most awkward thing I have ever done..."

Axel laughed, "That's what you say every time you talk to someone!"

Shilo shrugged and said, "It's true!"

A young lady walked up to them, "Hello! My name is Julie! I will be your server today! Anything to drink?"

Axel nodded, "I'll have a small water."

Shilo looked at her, "Do you have any kinds of flavored waters?"

Julie started, "Yes! We actually do! That's not something people usually ask for but we do have strawberry and mint flavored water!"

Shilo shrugged, "I'll take the mint."

Julie nodded and walked off. She was stopped by another girl who gave her a big hug and they talked a little. The young girl tripped over her twin and fell on her face. She started crying. Shilo smiled and was about to talk when and elderly man walked into his chair and started yelling, "HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE PUTTING THAT CHARI!"

He stormed off and Axel nervously laughed, "Umm..."

Shilo shrugged, "Ignore him. He goes to my church and he is always yelling. He even once got himself ejected from a movie theater once. He was annoyed at one of the characters and was yelling like... a lot."

Axel laughed harder and there was a loud screech from outside. A young pepper-haired boy jumped and screamed. Yen jumped and said, "Take it easy!"

Shilo Gulped and another maid came to help the old man. He yelled something and she backed off quickly. Shilo smiled and an older lady, in her 40's, came and sat down at the table with the rambunctious twins. She said something to them and they both got hushed. The old man was going through his papers he had brought with him and said, "Ugh. My gutters. That screw has gotten so loose. Gotta fix them soon or I'll end up climbing up there and I will FALL DOWN DEAD!"

Shilo jumped and said, "Wow... he has a lot of... I don't know..."

There was another loud screech from outside and Axel frowned, "Sounds like the traffic if having trouble with the black ice this time of year."

Shilo nodded and Julie arrived with their drinks. She set them down and went over to the table with the family of five. The other maid, a nice lady of 20 or so, came out with the old man's drink and started to get his order. She had just started talking when there was a loud crash and explosion from down stairs. The floor around her and the old man was immediately swallowed up by a large inferno and the walls and door caught on fire. The path to the door was swallowed with flame and soon collapsed. The young boy with Yen jumped up and started crying. Yen stood up to comfort him when a large brick pillar collapsed on her and her neck snapped. The young boy screamed, ran and cowered behind Shilo. Shilo gulped and the mother of the twins got up and herded them towards the windows near a little ledge. There was another loud screech and a car exploded from the outside. The hood came up and crushed the mother against a wall. The children screamed and panicked. Julie started screaming, "EVERYBODY! GET TO THE EMERGENCY FIRE EXIT!"

A large crowd swarmed to the opposite wall and there was another crash from the road. The ground around the fire exit collapsed, completely stranding the group. A car flipped up and crashed through the windows and pulled the father of the twins down with it. The group turned to the building next to the café and the older sister of the twins said, "Jenny. You need to try to climb down the wall. You can grab onto the ledges the bricks make. Okay?"

Jenny, the younger girl, slowly nodded and the older girl reached out and broke the glass with a loose brick. Jenny reached out and gripped a brick. She put out her feet and stepped down a little. She kept going until she was about three feet from the ground. She was about to step down again when a car screeched and started spinning towards her. Her sister screamed and started yelling, "GET BACK UP! JENNEY! GET BACK UP HERE!"

Jenny had time to look up before the car crushed her and the wall, blocking all escape routes. The sister screamed as the floor around her collapsed around her and swallowed her, Julie and knocked Axel through the hole. Axel grabbed on to the floor and screamed, "HELP ME! THE FIRE IS BURNING MY CLOTHES!"

The young boy and Shilo reached out to Axel, but he slipped through their grasp. He screamed as he fell and soon the fire overcame his yelling. Shilo looked around at the remaining four people and soon another car crashed into the building next to them. There was an intense hissing, and the wall exploded and the water heating pipes burst out, ripping into the pepper-haired boy's chest, tearing his heart out and sending it across the room. Julie's friend screamed and jumped back, lost her balance and fell out the window. The last person, the brother of the girl crushed on the wall, looked at Shilo and said, "I'm scared..."

Shilo nodded, "It's going to be okay..."

Right when he said that a large explosion rocked the café, sending scrap metal into the boy's back and caused Shilo to shoot back cracking his neck on the corner of the wall, falling through the floor, crushing his face on the fiery floor beneath himself. His vision faded to black.

Axel looked up, "Shilo? Shilo! SHILO!"

Shilo jumped, "WHAT!"

Axel shrugged, "Nothing. You were just... I don't know. Kinda dazed. You weren't responding."

Julie walked over and said, "Hello! My name is Julie! I will be your server today! Anything to drink?"

Axel nodded, "I'll have a small water."

Shilo gulped. He waited. Suddenly the twin boy tripped his sister and she fell down and started to cry. Shilo jumped up and said, "Axel, we have to get out of here."

Axel frowned and said, "Why?"

Shilo grabbed him and said, "We are all going to die! We have to get out!"

Axel frowned, but followed. Shilo looked at the Julie and said, "Is there an emergency exit here?"

Julie nodded, confused, "Yeah... There over there by the stairs. Take a left and you'll see them..."

Shilo nodded and turned around. He immediately ran into the old man who yelled, "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!"

Shilo just kept on running till he got hit on the head with a cane. He fell and the old man said, "You better learn a lesson in manners!"

The old man picked him and shoved him to the wall. The twins ran over and started yelling, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"

Julie gulped, "Sir, please calm down. It was just an accident. It-"

The old man slugged her mouth and yelled, "AND THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT TOO!"

Yen ran over and started to pull Shilo away while the other server tried to pull the old man into the exit. He knocked her away and pulled Shilo to the exit. The servers herded them out the door and were closely followed by the twins, Axel, Julie's friend, and Yen's friend. The mother of the twins looked around and said, "I'll go see what they are up too."

She left and Julie turned to Shilo, "The exit's right this way if that's what you want."

He nodded and they all emerged into the cold night air. The mother came out and started scolding the twins. The old man, now not so annoyed, looked at Shilo, "What was that about?"

Shilo panted, "The café... It's going to be hit... we were all going to die..."

The old man put a hand on Shilo's shoulder, "I think-"

He was about to continue when there was a sickening screech from the road. A large truck swerved and crashed into the building. It went up and flames and everyone stared at it in horror. Shilo suddenly said, "We better get out of here before one of us gets burnt to death."

Shilo looked around the town. The whole café was burnt to the ground, with wreckage scattered around it. He sighed and turned to the firemen. He pulled one aside and said, "How many survivors?"

The man looked grave and said, "Just you eleven..."
