After a short while, everyone calmed down and were discussing what they were going to do for light. " I got a light bulb, guys. It's brand new.." Matt said, taking it out of his backpack, showing everyone. " Perfect," Inez said. " Now...we just gotta get it up, all the way up there.." She said, gulping looking at the height of the ceiling. It wasn't too high up, about 7 feet or so. The kids began to pile things up to see if they could reach. Matt was standing on all of it, thinking of another way up. " There's got to be another way up there," Matt said, taking out his yo-yo. " I'll do it," Hacker volunteered. The kids looked at him, unbelieving. " Why would you help us?" Asked Inez suspiciously. Hacker shrugged. " Mainly because I'm in here too, and if I can do anything to ensure I come out alive, so be it." He said. Matt shrugged as well. " Okay, then." He said, getting off, and letting Hacker on. Hacker was almost there..he just needed a boost. He looked at Matt. " You, get up here," He said, gesturing to his shoulders. Matt looked at like he was crazy. " Wha-?" He said. Hacker rolled his eyes. " Look, I don't like this, either, just come oHan!" He groaned. Matt nodded, slowly. He climbed on. He reached for the ceiling. He was playing with his yo-yo, when he hit the ceiling, busting it, making it fall. " Wuh oh.." Matt said. Hacker smacked his forehead. " Shit!" He screamed. He jumped off the things, dragging Matt with him. Matt fell through a gap. " MATT!" Screamed Jackie. Matt was holding onto the edge. He just made it. He climbed back up. " That was close," He said. Hacker was lying on the floor. Part of the ceiling was lying on him. The kids pulled it off, and saved Hacker. Hacker wasn't thankful.
Later in the day, Matt was making food for everyone..." Matt, do you even know how to cook?" Asked Inez. Matt smiled. " Yeah, of course," He said. He was making hamburgers. He leaned back against the stove. Hacker was sitting at a table with the others. Fire was starting to rise from the stove. Matt had paid no attention, and he put his arms behind his back. Jackie's eyes went wide. She hit Hacker on the arm, and whispered to him. " Matt's arm is on fire!" She whispered. Hacker's eyes nearly fell out of their sockets when he heard this. He told Slider, and then Inez, and Digit, and finally Delete. All of their mouths dropped, seeing that the fire had got bigger. Matt smiled. " So, who here likes Evanescence?" He asked, chilling, not ever seeing that his arm was in flames. " Uh, Matt? You might wanna look at that..." they all said. " What?" He asked. He turned back to the stove to see that his arm was blazing! " AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed running back and forth, trying to put it out. " PUT IT OUT! PUT IT OUT!" Matt screamed. Matt saw a pool down on the first floor..they were on the 7th...he had no choice..he jumped down the gap, and into the pool. Everyone gathered by the gap. " Woah," Slider said, leaning too far into the gap, and Hacker was the one who pushed him, without anyone looking. " OH MY GOD! SLIDER!" Inez screamed. Inez jumped after him. " Inez!" Jackie screamed, also jumping. Everyone else jumped...
" Damn my arm.." Matt said, lying on the ground..It wasn't in flame anymore, but it was bruised up from the fall. Inez landed on her feet oddly enough, while Jackie landed on her head, ouch. She had just a throbbing, though. Slider had a bloody nose, but they all were gonna be okay. Everyone else had nothing more than a few brusies. Everyone was wondering what they were going to do next..
That's it for this chapter. Check back in a little while for chapter 7. Once I finish this story, I'll get back to " A Walk in the light," I needed time to think of what to put next, but I have some ideas. . See ya, guys.
