Take place after Robbie accidentally kills the Chancellor's octopus, which landed the whole gang to be put in Yerbanian prison. Some changes - including the fence separating the different genders removed, and the gang sharing a cell. Hopefully, the gang comes up with a plan to escape this poop shack of a prison before anything bad happens to them!
Tori, Robbie, Cat, Jade, Trina, André and Beck stood leaning on a fence at the near end of the prison, when suddenly Tori looked over at Robbie incredulously and asked, "You murdered the man's octopus?" Robbie, unable to form any words, only nodded his head in silent.
"Hey! Americans!" The gang looked over at the Yerbianian prison guard, as he took a few steps towards them. "Come with me, buddies, I'm going to take you to your cell." He called out to them while gesturing for them to follow. Beck was holding Jade securely around the waist as he direct the gang towards the guard.
"Don't you mean cells?" Trina questioned, raising a finger as to prove her point. The guard halted abruptly, turning on his heels to face her. His sudden movement made Trina squeak and hide behind the younger Vega sister, holding onto her shoulder as she peek at him timidly behind her.
"No. I said cell, and I meant cell. Now come on, buddies." The guard said, smiling smugly, as he turned and continued to lead the gang to their cell as if that little conversation didn't occur. The Hollywood Arts gang exchanged some look among each other, confused by what the guard meant by only one cell as there's seven of them.
He led them through a series of turns, and finally they've arrived at their destination. The group of teenagers exchanged looks of uncertainty and disbelief as they stood in front of the heavily damaged and rusted looking barred cell, which is half size smaller than Hollywood Arts' very own Black Box Theater.
The guard pulled out a bunch of keys of different shape and sizes, causing a rattingly sound to echo loudly throughout the enclosed corridor. He fondled with it until the desired key came up - a tarnished silver coloured key, equally rusted on some parts. He unlocked the rusty gate entrance, at the near end of the cell on the right, making a scraping metallic clicking noise reverberate. He then motioned for the teenagers to step into the cell. Once inside, the gang surveyed their new surroundings.
There was a sink, diminished and accumulated with dirt and grime, anchored to the floor on the far left corner. It has a visible crack on the yellowish ceramic near the discoloured silver tap and black marks appear around the plug hole. Moreover, the mirror hung above it was in a worse condition, as blackened spots appeared where the silver has tarnished, and faded spots where it has worn off. There is also no natural light. The only source of brightness was from the overhead lights in the corridors, which was occasionally flashing. Thus, causing the cell appear even less pleasant than it actually was.
Three sets of bunk beds were anchored to each side of the walls, away from the large and barred metallic cell gate. Each bed contains a very tattered navy blue blanket and a dark garbage green pillow which are a tad too soft. Apart from those two factors causing major dissatisfaction, the mattress rested on top of the pine wood frame with slats was ridiculously lumpy as well - even more compared to the ones they had in the hotel beforehand.
"There's only six beds here." Robbie blurted out, turning to face the guard who's standing at the cell door. "So what?" The guard scoffed while rolling his eyes. "Well, in case you haven't notice, there's seven of us here." Jade responded, annoyance clearly evident in her tone. Beck tighten his arms around Jade's waist as he took his place standing behind her, with his head tilted slightly to the side and his chin resting on her right shoulder.
The guard shot Jade a dirty look, which didn't go unnoticed by her as she almost leap out of Beck's grasp to pound on him. Luckily, Beck had prepared for her rage reaction and had a firm grip around her. The guard scowled before locking the gate and saunter away. "Relax, babe." Beck cooed as his grip around Jade loosened, as she let out a defeated sigh and stare down at the concrete ground.
The cell was silent, other than occasional sound of metal clasping, whining and profanity from other prisoners. "We're never getting out of here!" Trina groaned, throwing her arms in the air to exaggerate. Cat, upon hearing this, walked towards the bed anchored to the middle wall of the cell. She sat down on the edge of the bed, and buried her face in her hands as she sob softly, with her child-like enthusiasm long gone.
André and Tori exchanged looks of uncertainty as Robbie advanced towards Cat and sat down beside her. He rubbed her back, in an attempt to calm her down, but her sobs were relentless. "Come on, Cat. We'll get out of this place!" Tori exclaimed. "Yeah, lil' red, we're figure out a way to get out of this poop shack of a prison." André chimed in, trying hard to sound positive.
"Really?" Cat looked up with glossy eyes, now red and puffy. "Totally. Now, will you stop crying?" Robbie asked softly, his hand resting on Cat's back. Cat nodded, smiling slightly and wiping off the hot tears that were swelling up in her eyes, blurring her vision, with her baggy orange prison jumpsuit sleeves.
"Alright, guys." Beck started, successfully gaining attention from all of them. "We need plenty of rest before coming up with a plan to escape. So, any suggestions for the arrangement of beds?" "The girls could get the upper bunk, and us boys could sleep below." Robbie suggested, gaining some nods from the gang.
Cat stood up on the lower bunk bed she was previously sitting on, and climbed up on the upper bunk. She sat there cross-legged facing the huge metal barred gate, staring into space and looking kind of dazed. André glanced at her, obviously worried about lil' red, until Tori interrupted him out of his thoughts. "André!"
"Huh? Oh, yeah yeah. Sure." "André! Did you even hear what I said?" Tori moaned, frowning at him. "Erm, what did you say?" He asked sheepishly, not daring to look at Tori in the eye. "Argh! I asked, whether if you wanted to share a bunk bed with me." Tori explained, while rolling her eyes.
André looked around, running through a mental check list in his head. Cat and Robbie on the bunk bed directly opposite the giant cell bars. Beck and Jade getting into a little tiff on the beds on the right side of the cell, closer to the entrance of the cell gate. "Sure, but what 'bout Trina?" he questioned, realizing that Trina will lack a bed to sleep on.
Trina, on the other hand, was at the metallic gate, looking grim as she hold two rusty bars in each of her hands and pouted. "I could share a bed with her." Tori concluded, displeasure apparent on her features. "After all, she is my sister." She tried to force a smile, and make it sound like it was no big deal to share a bed with Trina, but failed miserably. "But you'll have to sleep on the upper bed though. I don't wish for her to kick me down from that height in the middle of the night." She joked half-heartedly.
André nodded, patting her on her shoulder and gave her a slight smile before heading to his bed, the one closer to the sink and to the left of Robbie and Cat's bed, stepped on the edge and leap up to the upper bunk of the bed.
Tori walked over to Trina, who acknowledged her presence by turning around to face her. "Guess we'll be sharing a bed, sis." Tori said, smiling slightly and pushing away all the thoughts of Trina sleep-sweating beside her at night to the back of her mind. To her surprise, Trina didn't argue or whine about having to share a bed. Instead, she nodded grimly and went over to the bed André was on. Tori sighed in relieve as she scanned around the room.
Cat was already curled up, back facing the room - seemingly in a foetal position, while Robbie was tossing and turning underneath the tattered blankets on the bed below Cat. Beck was on the lower bunk, lying on top of his blanket with his hands behind his head like a pillow, his eyes closed.
Meanwhile, Jade had the blanket cover the lower half of her body, and was curled up slightly with her arms at right angles, hands gripping the pillow. Lastly, André was outstretched flat on his stomach, hands also gripping the pillow.
Tori joined the older Vega sister on the lower bunk bed as she sighed. ' Hopefully, we'll get out of here soon. ' she thought as she slowly drift into a dreamless sleep.
Well, this is my first attempt in writing a Victorious fanfic. I had this plotted for a while now, so I decided to stop procrastinating and write it! This chapter mainly describe the environment in the prison cell they're in. What do you think about it? :) hopefully, it's good enough for it to be continued. Hope you enjoyed it!
