So hello people, this here is Chapter Eight! I believe this may be the longest chapter in this episode (Although I'm not really sure, I will double check and get back to you) I hope you enjoy this chapter and to even it out I will try to make the next chapter involve something to do with Cat since that is the side plot to this episode/story.
It had been a few minutes since the storm had properly hit but when it did finally hit, it made sure that everyone knew about it, Tori was sleeping or at least trying too, every few seconds she would flip onto her side, mumble something about her parents and then go silent this would repeat every few minutes and then would be followed with a few minutes of silence. Liam had tried to comfort her by whispering that he was by her side and kissing her cheek, but he had to stop because every time he tried something she slapped him, he glanced at the mirror on Tori's desk and placed a hand onto his reddened cheek, he closed his eyes and mumbled something then sighed and looked over to her desk, there was a few things laid upon it mostly it was make up and some photo's of her and her family it was then that he noticed that Tori's bedside lamp was flickering, he narrowed his eyes and tapped the side of the lamp the lamp immediately stopped flickering and the entire bedroom went dark, Tori awoke with a yelp and jumped up to clutch onto Liam's arm, he silently cursed to himself and kissed the top of her head she pulled away and looked at him with wide eyes "It's probably the storm, it's knocked out the power I'm sure the emergency power will kick in soon" It was then that Liam noticed that Tori's face had a look of sheepishness on it, Liam crossed his arms and frowned slightly "You do have a source of emergency power, don't you?" He questioned worriedly, Tori's mouth curled into a slight smile and she nodded her head "Good!" Liam said wiping the imaginary beads of sweat away from his forehead.
Tori leant back and shivered slightly. She wrapped herself in a self hug and giggled in an effort to lighten up the mood, Liam raised an eyebrow at Tori's giggle but couldn't help but join in with her, so for a few seconds they both sat their in possibly the worst storm LA had ever had giggling like people who had just lost their mind, it was then and only then that one thought crossed Tori's mind "What about Leon?!" She shouted nervously, Liam jumped at Tori's raised voice and motioned for her to stay where she was "I'll go see too him!" He said rushing out of her "Leon?" He said cautiously walking down the stairs, the living room was bathed in a darkness that Liam hadn't seen in a long time, it made him slightly apprehensive to leave the safety of Tori's bedroom but he had to check on Leon or Tori would have his head served up on a silver platter, he rubbed his neck nervously and gulped then continued his voyage down the stairs, when he finally reached the bottom of the stairs he breathed a sigh of relief and squinted his eyes in an effort to try and see the child, his eye squinting was unsuccessful "Leon?!" He called out, panic seemed to creep into his voice he was always bad at keeping his emotions under control so being in a situation such as this one sent Liam's whole body into total overdrive.
Liam walked over to the couch, he gripped the arm of the chair and blindly felt the cushions of the chair in the hope that one of them would be Leon and he wouldn't have to spend any more time downstairs in this darkness he sighed and closed his eyes "Yeah, I can't be that lucky now can I?" He said making his way over to what he thought must be the kitchen, he walked with his hands in front of his body cautiously making his way over to the kitchen "Leon?!" He tried again, this time making no attempt to cover how scared he was, his breathing was beginning to get heavier and he had the distinct feeling of dizziness hitting him suddenly, he closed his eyes silently counted too ten and re-opened them again, the dizziness had left as quickly as it came. Liam finally arrived at the island of cupboards in the middle of the kitchen he was sure that he heard a whimper come from this particular part of the kitchen "Leon, it's Liam come on out there is no need to be scared let me take you up too Tori's room" He struggled to keep his voice steady, he hoped that the voice he used just then would convince him that their was nothing out here that wanted to hurt him "Okay..." The voice which had a distinct tint of 'I'm scared for my life' hidden in it's depths, just then one of the cupboard doors opened and a singular beam of light bounced off one of the opposite cupboards and illuminated some of the floor, Liam then was just able to make out a small shadow of a child leap out of the cupboard and sprint towards the stairs, the torch he was grasping dropped from his grip and slide across the floor.
Liam cursed silently and once again blindly made his way over to the stairs, he paused once he made it too the stairs and listened as the roar of the wind rattled the windows, he frowned and listened even closer "Sounds like Jade on a bad hair day" He chuckled and didn't pay attention to torch he sprinted his way up the stairs and quickly made his way into Tori's bedroom shutting the door he frowned "Does EVERYONE have torches in this place but me?" He motioned towards the figure that belonged to Tori and then towards the torch that she was holding, she smiled and nodded slowly "Why yes, yes they do" She said with a slight pout, Liam grinned and shrugged his shoulders throwing himself down onto the bed "Good for you people" He mumbled under his breath, Tori pulled herself from the conversation that she had started with Leon to raise an eyebrow at Liam "What was that, Liam?" Her famous pout was beginning to form once again, Liam gritted his teeth and willed himself not to speak what he was thinking "Nothing, dear" He said forcing a smile onto his face, "Oh" Tori said shrugging her shoulders and returning to Leon's side to restart the conversation.
