Snow Storm
By Tomb Mistress Sarah
Little flurries played across the road and windshield, compliments of the snowstorm coming on fast. The radio crackled with static as Michael tuned it.
"Stop playing with the radio and watch the road, Michael, you can barely see as it is." Max snapped, for once not cheerful, the cold getting to him. Michael stopped playing when the static cleared.
"There's a sever winter storm warning in effect, all mountain roads are closed until further notice."
Rei groaned. "Of course we're on the mountain roads…"
"Could be worse.." Tala muttered, rubbing his numb arms. Right at those words, the van got stuck in a high snow bank.
"You said it! You jinxed us!" Max yelled, diving at Tala. Rei quickly grabbed him and pulled him away from Tala, who was cowering in fear. A pissed off Max was rare to see, and many people didn't want to see it. It was scary.
Michael sighed and stopped trying to drive the van back out of the snow bank. "We're stuck."
"No shit Sherlock!" Max yelled, trying to get away from Rei.
"Calm down, Maxie.." Rei muttered, wrapping his arms around the struggling boy's waist. Max sighed and gave up, slumping against Rei's chest. "Don't take out our bad luck on Tal…"
Speaking of Tala, he'd crawled into Michael's lap to seek sanctuary, in case Max suddenly went ballistic again. He was curled into a little ball, whimpering. Michael was stroking his hair gently, trying to get him to relax.
Now, in the actual van, there were about ten people, but Rei, Max, Tala and Michael were the only ones awake. The others, sleeping, were Tyson, sleeping in the seat beside where Max had just been sitting, Kai, sleeping on the floor, leaning against the door by Tala's previous seat, Lee, currently sleeping on the floor, leaning against the back of Michael's seat, Kevin, and Kenny. Oh ya, and Mariah and Hilary, for flames reasons.
Now, what was funny was, Kai would go ballistic if he saw Michael holding onto his Tala, Tyson would go ballistic if he saw Rei holding onto his Max, and Lee would go ballistic if he saw his Rei holding onto Max. See the coincidence? Kevin and Kenny were perfectly happy though, having fallen asleep lying in the back seat hugging each other to keep warm. Mariah and Hilary were hugging too, sleeping contently on the floor near Kai.
Max had crawled back into his own seat and fallen asleep, leaning against the already sleeping Tyson. Michael had fallen asleep holding onto Tala, but Tala had crawled back into the back seat, but sat on the floor next to Kai, too afraid of dying in the cold to fall asleep. Rei had fallen asleep in his seat, still worried about the storm.
The first one to wake up again was Kai. Within three seconds of opening his eyes, Tala practically hugged him to death. "Kai! We're stuck in a snow bank, and there's a snow storm outside and—" Kai shut him up and kissing him. Tala moaned and loosened his death hug around Kai's neck. When he felt the grip loosen, he pulled away.
"Now calm down."
Tala took a deep breath to calm himself down, then opened his mouth to speak again. Of course Kai put his hand on Tala's mouth.
"So the van is stuck in a snow bank." Tala nodded. "We're stuck in a snowstorm." He nodded again. "and its all scaring the hell out of you." He nodded again. Kai removed his hand from Tala's mouth.
"I don't want to die, Kai." He whimpered.
"You're not going to die. None of us are." Tala looked ready to object. "Repeat after me; I'm not going to die."
Tala took another deep breath, then.. "I'mgonnadieI'mgonnadieohKaiIdon'twannadieI'mgonnadieIjustknowitIcanfeelit.." (1) He sobbed.
Kai sighed and pulled him into a hug. Tala hadn't exactly been high in self-confidence since leaving the Abby, and he'd been a pessimist (2) anyway. When Tala calmed down, he crawled into Kai's lap and managed to fall asleep, having not slept in at least thirty hours. Kai fell asleep again soon after.
Max blinked sleepily, then he realized how cold he was. Rubbing extremely numb arms, Max nudged Tyson. "Wake up. Tyson, wake up.." when he didn't wake up, Max sighed. "Tyson, breakfast.."
"Breakfast?" Tyson sat up, looking around.
(-someone plays a laugh track somewhere-)
(A/N- God I hate those..)
Max tackled Tyson and hugged him. "Tyson! Michael got us stuck in a snow bank! We're stuck and I think the engine failed! And I'm cold and hungry.."
A/N-
1-if you're stupid enough to not be able to read that, he said: I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, oh Kai I don't wanna die, I'm gonna die, I just know it, I can feel it. Happy?
2-to anyone who's not all that smart; a pessimist is a negative person. The opposite of a pessimist is an optimist. While an optimist would say a glass is half full, a pessimist would say its half empty. Get it? Of course you don't.(3)
3-to any really stupid people; Sarah is both a pessimist and a mean person. That and she's really tired right now, and BS(4) is on the tube, Ashlee Bitchson is on the radio, and her CD player busted when Mandy Whore started playing…she started writing this cause she's bored, really. I'm not lying. I'm just a poor defenseless laptop that doesn't even have internet connection. Don't hurt me!
4-okay, so Lucky and Toxic are decent songs..but Britney is still a bitchy little slut! And she's ugly too..(and I have no clue what happened to her voice)
Okay..so I'm totally bored and I need to get something up for a chapter..so next chapter'll be up in what, three hours?
