Hell's Kitchen

A crash came from the kitchen, followed by smoked pouring out of the room. Then, what sounded like an explosion blasted the door off its hinges.

"Um…Cleao? Are you…all right?" Cari sighed.

At first, there was no answer.

"Cleao?"

"I'm…all…right…cough…it's…under…cough…control…" Cleao said, exasperatedly.

While Felix was still sitting in pain on the couch, Alex was investigating the house. First off, he accused the old man next door of being a zombie, and tried to kill him. Cari managed to stop him, but she kept her mouth shut when Alex said, "That old hellish thing was screaming some odd words at me. Cari, what does fu-" "It's means thanks, Alex." Cari had said. Than he walked into Cari's room. He ended up bleeding again after trying to go through all of Cari's things. "But Cari, some of these close are very odd-" "JUST FORGET ABOUT IT, ALEX!" He eventually found his way to the phone, and started pressing random numbers. (He found it very amusing)

"Hello? This is the Shakespeare Play Company. Are you looking for a part?"

"Whatever are you talking about, my lady?"

"Do want a part in the upcoming production?"

"Pardon me, my lady, but I am very confused."

"Oh, you're PERFECT! I'll sign your name right away!" Hangs the phone up

Alex puts down the phone, and looks at it, puzzled.

Cari was sitting on the couch next to Felix, staring at the kitchen door that was on the floor.

"Are you worried about the food, Cari?" Felix asked.

"Alex, when Cleao cooks, it's not the food you should worry about, it's her. Sometimes she comes out of there looking like she just came back from WWII!"

"Oh my…"

"Food's…cough, hack, wheeze…done…"

Cleao came out of the kitchen, limping, with three plates of Steak and mashed potatoes in her hand. As she set the food on the table, Cari, Alex, and Felix, looked at it. And it looked wonderful. Then they looked at her.

"What in god's name happened in there, Cleao?" Cari shouted.

"I had… a fight… with… the oven… that's all…" Cleao gave a faint laugh, and then collapsed on the ground.

"Right then." Cari said, putting her hands together. "Eat up boys! We have school tomorrow!"

Alex and Felix looked at each other, and then at Cari.

"…School?"
