DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VICTORiOUS. This chapter is from Riley's POV.
Chapter 11
Playing Field
"This is bad!" I shout as Tori hits us again.
"No really, Sherlock!" Jade shouts back.
"We can't take her on when she's in a semi!" Cat screams as Tori hits us again. We need to get a new car. We can't just stay in this pussy car. I imagine people will be calling the Highway Patrol, but I don't think we'll survive in time. Then it hits me.
"Jade, we need to find a way to antagonize Tori." I say.
"What for?" she shouts as she dodges another attack from Tori.
"Well, she doesn't want to kill you, does she?"
"No."
"Then we antagonize her to kill you and use that to our advantage." I explain.
"I don't understand how that helps us." Cat says confused.
"What's not to understand?" I reply.
"Do we intentionally entice Tori to kill Jade?"
"Yes." Jade replies this time.
"Why?!" Cat screams.
"So we can ambush her and take her down." Jade replies in a 'duh' voice as she dodges yet another attack. Tori is relentless. She really wants to take us down. But, she'll be careful not to kill Jade. "But first." Jade added and before Cat or I could ask her what she was talking about, Jade turns the wheel left sharply that the car almost flips into a hard U-turn and passes the semi Tori is driving.
"Don't. Do. That. Again." I say to her slowly.
"Eat it." She replies, flipping me the bird. Cat and I look behind and we see the semi attempt to U-turn in a tight spot. Jade abruptly stops the car and jumps out. I hear a honk and look forward to see Jade stopped in front of a U-Haul truck. A large U-Haul truck. I smile and leave the car and Cat follows suit. The driver of the U-Haul comes out as we approached his vehicle.
"Dafuq, man?" he said, raising his arms in confusion. Jade in response kicks him in the dick hard and he keeled over, groaning and clutching his balls.
"Get in, hurry!" Jade orders and points behind us as she climbs into the truck's large cab. I look behind and see the truck coming at us again. Cat and I get in the cab by the passenger door and Jade shifts gears and starts forward towards the oncoming semi. We bear down on each other quickly. Cat started freaking out.
"Jade what are you doing?!" Cat squealed.
"Playing chicken." Jade replied simply, a look of determination on her face.
"Are you crazy?!"
"Maybe." Jade shrugs. Our vehicles were getting closer to each other.
"This isn't Last Action Hero!" I shout as I grab and turn the wheel towards me. Jade starts fighting the moment I grabbed it, but I caught her off-guard. Our truck swerved to the right in time for the semi to pass us. Jade elbowed me in the face, knocking me into Cat. I groan as I grab my face where she hit me. She straightened the truck and stopped. "What are you doing now?!" I shout as I remove my hand and see blood. The bitch. She looked at me angry.
"Me?! What were you doing?!"
"Preventing you from martyring everyone." I retort, keeping pressure on my cut above my eyebrow.
"I wasn't gonna kill us; she would've dodged." She replied.
"Jade, Tori was about to hit us; she wouldn't have dodged." Cat squeaked. She looked like she wet herself. Jade sighed and looked in the driver's mirror. The semi was coming around again for another attack.
"The Highway Patrol will be here soon; wait here, I have an idea." Jade replied silently as she parked the truck and got out of the cab.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" Cat and I shout in unison.
"Stay!" she shouted back and slammed the door.
"Fuck that, let's go." Cat said and she and I exited the cab from the passenger side and came around the front of the truck and saw Jade walking slowly down the road towards the speeding semi. Tori wasn't close enough to see that Jade was walking towards her.
"Jade! Get back in the truck! We can take her!" I shout at her.
"NO!" she shouts back without turning around. Cat started tugging at my sleeve.
"Let's get back inside the truck and intercept Tori."
"Not without Jade." I said and started running towards the Goth. Cat started following me. We caught up to Jade and I grabbed her arm, but she whipped it out of my grip. "Jade, don't do this."
"I have to. If she really loves me, she won't hit me." Jade pointed out.
"It's too risky." I replied as the semi was very close to us. The semi started to slow down and stopped before it was on top of us,
"We'll see." Jade whispered as the semi's cab opened and a figure climbed out and started walking towards us. The figure and Jade started walking towards each other. When they were close, the figure removed her shades and dropped her hood.
This must be Tori. From what I can tell, she's half-Latino and very pretty. What's up with those cheekbones though? Are those implants or something? She was slightly shorter than Jade. Her brown hair was long and messy from lack of cleaning. I don't think she has makeup on. When was the last time she bathed? All things considering, I can see why Jade wanted to fuck this chick; she's fucken hot! Fuck, I'd do her. She has a perfect body from what I can tell. I want to see her ass as she walks though.
"Tori." Jade said out loud.
"Jade." Tori replied.
"Why are you here?" Jade asked.
"I'm here for you, Jade."
"But, I don't want you anymore; you tried to kill me and our best friends." Jade sighed.
"I wasn't gonna kill you and I only wanted to hurt them to teach them not to mess with me." Tori replied nonchalantly. It chilled me to the bone her tone of voice.
"There are other ways beside murder."
"What difference does it make now?" Tori asked annoyed.
"It makes a lot of difference! You attempted murder and killed Robbie! And here you are five fucking years later and to say 'hi' to everyone, you almost kill Andre and Beck and you killed Cat's brother earlier." Jade replied equally annoyed.
"I did it because I love you, Jade! Why can't you see that?" Tori begged.
"Do you really?" Jade challenged. Tori paused for a moment.
"Yes." She whispered.
"Then you'll turn yourself in and stay out of my life." Jade stated.
"Or what?" Tori challenged, crossing her arms. Jade put her hands on Tori's shoulders.
"Or, the Highway Patrol will turn you in and you'll be in a worse situation than before." Jade replied and pointed behind Tori and we all looked to see the distant lights of the Highway Patrol. Tori rounded on Jade just in time for Jade to punch Tori and she turned and we ran for the U-Haul. Tori composed herself and climbed back in the semi and started it up. We reach the truck and climb in the cab and Jade starts forward in time to prevent Tori from hitting us. "Let's even the playing field a little, bitch." Jade snarled and she turned the truck left, to the opposite side of the interstate.
"What are you doing?!" Cat shouted as Jade crashed through the concrete wall to the other side. A second crash behind us told us that Tori crashed through the wall as well in pursuit of us.
Jade sped up and went to the left side of the road and Tori had to stay where she was because of the heavy traffic on this side of the interstate. Cat looked out the passenger window.
"She's catching up." She stated.
"Hold on." Jade said.
"To what?" I ask dumbly. Jade slammed on the brakes and she turned right and hit the gas and sped up, right towards Tori. Cat and I screamed and grabbed each other, hanging on for dear life. Jade hit the trailer that the semi was dragging with a glancing blow and the trailer tipped from the impact and our truck recoiled and Jade slammed on the brakes and we all looked up to see the semi's trailer tipping over on its side and disconnected with the rest of the semi.
"Holy shit." Cat voiced our thoughts.
"You can say that again." I said as Jade started forward again towards the crashed trailer.
"Shut up." Jade whispered as she turned left to avoid the trailer.
Tori's semi came out of nowhere and before Jade could do anything, Tori hit us on the passenger side and drover through as we spun a bit and faced towards the trailer. Tori turned around for a U-turn and crashed into an arriving Highway Patrol car, crushing it and smashing into the other two, sending them crashing. Tori plowed through the wall and turned again to plow through again to hit us.
Jade pushed down on the gas and thankfully, the truck started moving and she drove us passed the trailer and Patrol cars and sped down the interstate back towards LA. The impact from Tori must've damaged the front right wheel, as we weren't going so fast anymore.
"Tori must've really hurt us." Cat commented.
"She did; she's coming up on us fast." Jade said pointing to the driver's mirror. We looked and Tori was almost upon us. Her semi was moving faster now that it didn't have the weight of the trailer as a burden anymore.
"Jade, you mentioned Terminator 2 a while ago?" I ask her.
"Yeah, why?" she asks.
"Slam on your breaks like the 101 did to the 1000, it'll damage Tori's front wheels." I explain.
"No, not yet."
"Why not yet?" I ask.
"There's a bridge in a mile from here that's above water, I'll get her there." Jade replied, pointing forward. I looked in front and sure enough, a bridge was coming up and we were almost there. A bump told us Tori caught up and was starting to harass us.
"She's getting on my nerves." Cat said annoyed as Tori hit us again.
"Just about there!" Jade shouted as she pressed both her feet on the gas and the truck sped up a bit. "C'mon baby, c'mon!"
"Almost there!" I shouted as we were about to go on the bridge.
"Brace yourselves!" Jade shouted as she slammed on the brakes and the tuck squealed to a halt and Jade unexpectedly turned the truck to the right so that it was almost perpendicular.
Tori smacked right into the side of the U-Haul truck and we tipped over and hit the ground hard. Judging from the groaning of metal, Tori is probably partially on top of us right now.
We all groaned from the impact and started feeling ourselves to check for damage.
"Everyone alright?" Jade groans.
"Nothing broken." I report.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Cat moaned as she clutched her stomach.
"Don't you dare; you're right on top of us practically." Jade warns. Cat nodded slowly.
We started to climb out of the cab slowly and in a fuckton of pain. Cat vomited as soon as she touched the ground as she said. Jade held her hair up and I rubbed her back to ease her. Cat moaned and slowly sat down.
"We'll be alright, Cat." Jade assured her. Cat gave us the thumb up. Jade turned to me all serious. "Let's check on Tori." I nodded and we went around to the driver's side of the semi. The door was ajar and the cab was empty except for the shades Tori had, which were now broken.
"Dammit, we had her!" I moaned as I searched the area and Jade looked in the cab.
"I'm not seeing blood, she's probably better looking than us." Jade said as she came out of the cab.
"Nothing here as well, she got off easy." I snarl as the area is clean of blood. "What now?"
"We wait for the Highway Patrol, give them a statement and get checked up." Jade said as she clutched her stomach.
"You should be fine, the airbag was pretty big." I reply.
"Maybe, but I'll know more when I get it scanned." Jade groaned as she sat down in the cab and slowly massaged her stomach. I sat down on the ground beside her and sighed as I heard the sirens of the Highway Patrol reaching my ears. Cat joined us and sat next to me and held her head in her hands.
This is gonna be painful.
Chapter 11. Comment/review plz. It took me awhile to get the interstate battle right. Hope you enjoyed it.
