Cabin Fever 13

TWISTER


__________________________________________________

"Damn!" Max yelled and banged the doorframe with her fist

"Hey kids! What are you stupid? Come back here and get us out!" Max was so furious she was turning red

"Max, what's going on?"

Max let go of the doorframe and landed smoothly on the floor "Some stupid kids playing a joke. They piled up snow in front of the door and sprayed it with water"

"Shit" Zack looked around "Let's see if we can find a back door or a window big enough for us to fit through and kick some ass"

*************

"I just can't believe it!" Zack picked the lock to the cabin and got in almost as fast as if he had used a key

"Hey" Logan greeted them from the kitchen "I thought you were going out for a run or something"

"We're stuck" Max informed him

"What?"

"We're stuck"

"What da ya mean we're stuck?" Original Cindy walked out of her room, a towel wrapped around her wet hair

"Some stupid kids tried to play a joke, they turned the snow outside into ice and blocked the entrance and the emergency exit with it. There are no windows on the first floor, except for some extreme small ones, same with the second floor and the third floor is too... high"

Max glanced at Logan, hinting that the guys on that cabin would get suspicious if she managed to jump out their windows and survive

She was truly frustrated but Logan chuckled

"You're laughing?" Max frowned

"Oh Max, those kids aren't stupid, they just want to play. I used to do it myself as a kid. It's fun watching people dig themselves out"

"No" Zack said "No, this kids ARE stupid. You can't dig yourself out when you can't open the door"

"What?" Logan dropped the spatula he had been using

"Well you see, the door opens outwards, not inwards" Max calmly explained

"Oh shit!" Logan took out his cell phone and sighed "No signal"

Original Cindy picked up the phone "No line either"

"So we are..." Kendra leaned against the doorframe of her room

"Officially stuck, yeah" Max sighed and plopped down on the couch. She removed her shoes and jacked

"We might as well get comfortable cuz we're staying here for a while"

Logan shrugged and returned to the kitchen, where he was making a bunch of pancakes and bacon

"Someone will have to come get us out sooner or later"

"You know, this might qualify for the worst vacation ever" Max took off her sweater and threw it next to her jacket

"Oh, I've had far worse" Logan carried the food to the table and motioned for everyone to sit down

"Name one" Max dared him

"Ok, there was one when I was around eight years old. My family and I went to a very small town in Mexico. The town was dirty, the hotel was even worse, I'm not sure it was even a hotel! We had to share the bathroom with the rest of the guests. I couldn't even lie my head on the pillow for fear of getting fleas!"

Logan picked up two pancakes with his fork and deposited them on his plate

"I still think this one is worse" Max interrupted him

"Will you let me finish? So anyway our car got stolen, along with our passports and other documents. I got sick from eating bad seafood and threw up almost to the point of dehydrating. The problem was, the town was so small there weren't any doctors available and I ended up going to a vet for a checkup"

Max choked on her milk, she swallowed a couple of times and exploded with laughter

"My mom was mortified, plus we had to wait for ever to get back home"

Everyone was laughing hard, even Zack

"Ok, ok, you win" Max raised her arms in surrender

They finished their meal in comfortable silence. They didn't even seem to mind that they were locked together for God knows how long

*************

"I'm bored bored bored" Max said for the tenth time in an hour

"We could play chess" Logan offered again

"I've beaten you thirteen times already"

"Monopoly?"

"Bo-ring"

"Read a book"

"Naw"

Logan sighed, he got up and went through the contents of a small closet near the fireplace again. A white box fell from one of the cabinets and he picked it up

"How about twister?"

"What's that?" Max sat up, obviously interested

Logan spread the game board on the floor and spun the wheel "Someone spins the wheel and, see here for example the wheel points to right hand blue so the players place their right hands on the blue circles"

Max frowned "It sounds kind of lame"

"Oh, trust me! It's not"

Max considered it for a second "Well, there's nothing better to do. Hey guys! Wanna play?"

Kendra and Original Cindy came out of their room

"Oh Twister! Can I be the wheel girl? I loved doing that as a kid!" Kendra almost jumped around excitedly

"Zack, wanna play?" Max asked

"Well..."

"C'm on, it'll be fun!"

"Fine"

So the five of them crowded around to play

"Ok! Left hand green" Kendra called out

The first few instructions were easy to follow but pretty soon the four players were so mixed up it was hard telling them apart.

Original Cindy was in the best position. Her hands and legs weren't twisted at all and she was pretty much standing by herself, except for Max's leg under her

Logan was besides Original Cindy. He was in quite a jam. His right leg was on a green circle, under Max's spread legs. His other leg was on a red one but he had to pass it above Max's head in order to accomplish that. So Max had her head in between Logan's legs and he had his right arm under Zack's arm

Max's Legs were intertwined whit Zack's somehow. She was very aware of the position of her head. Unfortunately so was Logan. He cursed himself for wearing sweats and hoped no one would notice the growing bulge on his pants

"Hmm right hand yellow"

Original Cindy moved a bit backwards to reach the yellow circle. Her butt connected with Logan's chest and the tumbled backwards. He fell, taking Max and Zack with him

"Aw Logan!" Max was under him. Zack was crushing her legs

She flipped Logan under her and tried to stand up but ended up falling again, this time on top of Zack, her back to him

"Oh shit" She turned around. Zack's face was inches away from hers. She didn't ever notice but Zack was very aware of that fact. He closed his eyes and took in the smell of her, he decided that it was then or never and moved his lips closer to hers

"Oh HEY! Ouch!" Logan yelped. Max turned around quickly, she hadn't even noticed Zack getting closer to her. Zack ended up with a mouthful of her hair

"What's wrong?"

"Your ankle bracelet got caught on my hair, don't move. It hurts" Logan held Max's foot to his head and she sat up to try to untangle herself from him

She needed to get closer to her ankle in order to do that so she sat between his spread legs and reached out for his hair

Their position looked everything but innocent, Logan was getting aroused by having her so close but the pain on his head was a firm reminder of their location

"I got it!" Max took off the bracelet and freed it from Logan's hair

"Since when do you wear ankle bracelets?"

Original Cindy snatched the bracelet and looked at it. It was silver, thin and delicate. It had a small butterfly. Logan had given it to Max, he said a butterfly was the closest thing he had found to an angel.

"Hum... I got it on... the black market! It was really cheap and I liked it" Max lied

"Yeah, right" Original Cindy raised her eyebrows but said nothing more

"I think I'm done playing twister for the day" Logan got up and folded the game

"Yeah, me too"

*************

Max was bored out of her mind, she was clutching a huge bag of tiny marshmallows in one hand and tossing them in the air with the other, catching them with her mouth.

She was sitting on the floor, next to the fire. Logan was reading a book on a chair nearby, his feet on top of the coffee table. Zack sat on the couch next to Original Cindy, they were both engrossed in magazines. Kendra was re polishing her toe nails and playing loud music in her room.

"I'm so bored" Max said out loud. Everyone ignored her

She wiggled a bit trying to get comfortable but there was too much unspent energy inside of her

Suddenly she had an idea. She grabbed a marshmallow from the bag and threw it at Zack. It hit him on the forehead. He didn't even flinch

Max sighed and threw him another one. This time he cached it with his right hand without looking up

Max threw him a third

"Stop it Maxie" He warned but Max ignored him and aimed a handful of them at him

"Stop or I'll..."

"You'll what?"

"I'll kick your ass"

Max snorted "I'd like to see you try"

Max stood up, Zack rose from his seat as well

"Bring it on" Max edged closer to him

"Guys, please, could you move away from the breakable stuff?" Logan asked without losing his place on the book

"And don't break a wall or something, I'd be hell on earth explaining it to Kendra"

Zack backed away from the living room and so did Max. They circled each other a couple of times

"What are they gonna do?" Original Cindy wanted to know

"Fight" Logan answered. After seeing Cindy's hesitation he asked "Didn't you ever fight with your siblings?"

"I wasn't strong enough to kill them"

"Oh don't worry, they've done this hundreds of times" Logan tried to reassure her but the grunts and hisses coming from the fighting pair were everything but reassuring

Max punched Zack on the stomach, he tried to kick her legs from under her but she jumped in the air and did a back flip, landing away from his reach. He tried to kick her again

"Careful with that..."

CRASH

"Vase" Logan sighed

Max and Zack continued to fight, they threw kicks and punches at each other and landed on the floor several times but neither one of them seemed to mind

"I hope they don't break anything else" Logan shrugged and kept reading

CLUNK

A metallic sound filed the room

"OOPS!"
