DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VICTORiOUS.
Chapter 11
Desperation
No POV
The household grew quite as the thunder and wind got louder. Everyone got worried as the thunder got closer and the strikes more frequent. Even Jade was starting to get nervous. You read that right. Everyone bunched together and looked around, scared. The storm was thought to be over, but what is this? The radio signal died again, possibly because of the brewing storm.
"We've gotta get outta here!" Cat shouted.
"We can't because of the rubble; even if we could, a terrible storm's hitting us now." Beck explained. It was starting to get very dark now. With no electricity and the sun blotted out by dark clouds, there was little light. The lighting strikes lit up the house. Soon, the lightning strikes will be the only source of light.
"We need to find flashlights, candles, matches, lighters, and batteries." Tori said, counting her fingers with each item on the list.
"Well, where do you keep all that shit?" Andre asked. Everyone looked at Tori, ready to spring into action.
"Look everywhere, especially in closets and drawers. Each bedroom has one flashlight." Tori explained. Everyone started moving after she finished. Tori ran upstairs and returned with three flashlights. She gave one to Beck and one to Robbie and kept the third one.
"We split into pairs, so we can cover ground quicker." Beck stated. Everyone voiced their agreement. Tori and Andre went into the basement to find batteries. Beck and Jade searched the kitchen for lighters and matches. Robbie and Cat looked everywhere else for candles.
Andre's POV
The basement.
Tori and I were in the basement. It is adjacent to the garage and only one way in, so obviously we can't escape from here. She and I are looking for batteries for our flashlights. If we're lucky, we might find a few more flashlights so that everyone has their own. Tori is next to me with both her hands around my right arm and I have the flashlight in my other hand.
The thunder and wind grew louder, even in the basement, it was particularly loud. I think it's starting to rain, cause I can hear the pattering of something outside the house. Tori was terrified and each boom of thunder made her grab onto my arm tighter. I can barely feel my fingers.
"Tori, baby, you're making my fingers numb." I tell her. She looks at me terrified and nervous.
"Sorry, it's just that I'm so scared." She replies and let's go of my arm, so that I can feel my fingers. I get that tingling sensation in the tips.
"It'll be ok baby, I won't let the evil thunder get to you." I assure her as if I were talking to a petrified child. She giggles at this and kisses my cheek.
"Thanks baby, love you." She tells me.
"Love you too." I reply and kiss her on the lips. We look around a work area. It consists of a work bench and several toolboxes. They're might be flashlights and batteries here. We move there quickly and start looking around. Since the only source of light is the small beam of the flashlight, it'll take us awhile to find anything.
"Try up on the shelves, Dad usually stores the flashlights up there." Tori explained. I nod and move the beam of light up to the shelves above the work bench. I see a light but it requires an outlet to work. Next to it are a couple more flashlights. These were larger than the others from the bedrooms. I take them and turn one of them on and a large area is lit up by its LED bulbs. Tori squeals and grabs another and turns it on. Now to find batteries.
"What type of batteries do these guys work on?" I ask her.
"The smaller ones work on AA's and the larger ones work on C's and D's." she informs me. That narrows the search. We look around and find a box of batteries. The box has all sorts of batteries. It has AAA's, AA's, C's, D's and 9V's.
"Just take the box with us." She tells me.
"Mission accomplished baby." I say and kiss her. She kisses back and giggles. I love her giggle, it always brightens my day no matter what is happening. It'll take more than a storm to stop her from brightening my days. We head back upstairs when we hear a loud explosion nearby.
Cat's POV
The laundry room.
Robbie and I are in the laundry room looking for candles. So far we've only found those little tea candles. We want to find those bigger ones, as they'll last longer than the tea candles. I love the little tea candles, they're so cute! I hope we find some scented candles, they're soooo sweet. I don't like the non-scented kind. They're soooo booring!
"I think I got something here." Robbie said. I turn and see him pulling down a decent sized box from a shelf and places it on the washing machine. It says 'candles' on the top. I think we did get something. Putting the small flashlight in his mouth, Robbie opens the box to reveal several long candles. Perfect.
"Take the light and look for holders." He says, handing me the flashlight. He puts the bag containing the tea candles into the box while I look up on the shelf for holders. Rummaging around, I find some holders and take them down. I don't think there's enough. Shit. We won't be able to use all the tall candles. I look around some more after I hand them to Robbie to put in the box. Nothing.
"I can't find anymore." I tell him sadly. He looks around himself and turns up fruitless as well.
"Well, at least we got some; come on, let's go check up on the others." He tells me. He closes the box as much as he cloud as it was starting to overflow with the extra items. We leave the laundry room with me in front with the flashlight when we heard a loud explosion nearby.
Beck's POV
The kitchen.
Jade and I have been searching for matches and lighters for awhile now and had no luck. I bet if any of Tori's parents smoked, we'd find some in a heartbeat.
"Anything?" Jade asks impatiently. She is on the refrigerator side and I'm on the opposite side, where the sink is. This kitchen has a fuckton of cabinets and drawers, yet we can't seem to find matches.
"Nothing. You?" I reply.
"Not a damn thing." She replies meekly.
"Could they be in the master bedroom?" I wonder.
"Why would they be there?"
"I've noticed some candles and incense up there." I point out. "It'll make sense if they have that kind of shit up there."
"Ok, let's check out the master bedroom." She replies. As we head to the bedroom, she wraps her arms around my waist and kisses me on the cheek. "I have a plan or two for you tonight, Mr. Oliver." She adds in a husky voice. Hehehehe.
"I have to get back at you for revealing your secret power to the others in the game." I inform her. She looks at me evilly and giggles.
"Not completely my fault you love my clitoris."
"True, but your pussy and clitoris are pretty awesome."
"Don't get your hopes up, big boy; we have to wait til the losers are asleep before we can have fun." Hehehehe.
"Andre and Tori aren't losers anymore, they had sex a couple hours ago."
"Whatever, babe. Cat and Robbie have yet to fuck each other."
"Come here you." I order her and sweep her into a fiery kiss. She happily obliges and kisses back. Our tongues battle for dominance in each other's mouths. We break up and put our foreheads together.
"I love you, Jade."
"I love you, Beck."
We take hands and start climbing the stairs up to the upper floor. We head down the hallway to the master bedroom. We open it, and I point out on the drawer on our left the partially burned candles and the used incense. Jade nods and we start searching.
"Got 'em babe." Jade informs me and shows me a small Zippo lighter and a couple boxes of matches. Perfect.
"Good work, babe." I tell her, kissing her on her nose, causing her to giggle. She gives me her beautiful smile. She may not smile openly a lot, but when she's with me, she smiles a lot and it's very beautiful. I turn to head back downstairs when she stops me.
"Babe, did you ever notice the size of the bed?" she asks out of the blue. I turn and see her eyeing the bed in the middle of the room. I stare at it for a few moments and take in its size. It's gotta be a king size. The bed in my RV is, or was I should say now, as I doubt it survived the hurricane, a full size. It was originally a twin, but I upgraded after Jade and I started having sex. I moved out of my parents' house when I was 14 and got the full mattress when I was 15. Don't get me wrong a full is a good size, but a king is much better.
"That is a pretty big bed." I state.
"We can have some fun in it." Jade states, kissing me. She pulls me to the bed and on top of her as our kiss intensifies. We're about to take it a step further when we hear a loud explosion nearby.
