The Dark Hour

--------Skyla--------

^^^^^^^^Skyla

"So why did you need all of us?" I asked Axel a bit confused.

"Well I ordered pizza thought that we could have a movie night since you guys don't have school."

"Ok, what movie?" Ridge asked a bit worried. "Cause I do not want to get in trouble with Mrs. Coffee again for anything that could possibly give Lalna nightmares. Like the last movie."

"Okay no horror movies when he is here um I don't know what about the fifth wave?"

"What's it about?" I asked curiously.

"Do you want to watch it, I just bought it the other day."

"I guess."

"It's not a horror movie so Lalna won't get scared." Ridge nodded.

"Ok." I looked around.

"Ridge, where is Lalna?"

"I think he went to the kitchen to get a drink."

"Okay I will get it set up." I nodded then went to the kitchen and found Lalna getting a cup of Sprite.

"Hey Lalna, how have you been?" He shrugged.

"Fine I guess."

"They're not picking on you again are they?" He looked at me a bit shocked.

"No, Ridge took care of them. It's not school it's just my mom."

"What about her?" I asked cautiously.

"She has more hours, so I can't see her unless I stay up past midnight."

"Her job sucks." He nodded.

"I know."

"Um..Axel said that the m-movie was starting." I turned and saw Astrid standing there.

"Ok, I'm going to make some popcorn then I'll come in."

"Okay." She said walking away. I looked at Lalna and sighed.

"I'm sure your mom will get some vacation days and spend some time with you. My dad did back when he had that awful job." Lalna nodded.

"I hope so."

I made some popcorn and was sitting by Ridge and Ridge had Lalna in his lap. Astrid and Axel were sharing the two seater couch, I hated calling it a love seat. The movie was going and everyone was just chilling. Then Axel started talking.

"Okay so what if this really happened do you think we would survive?" I shrugged.

"Depends on if my dad would let me use his pistol. I'm so freaking accurate with that thing."

"I would just stay locked in my house," Lalna said softly. Ridge smirked.

"Then I would come rescue you." Lalna blushed and I giggled.

"Ridge be serious."

"I am."

"I think that I would die." Axel said laughing. "All I have are knives."

"I'm pretty good with a knife or sword whatever you give me really." Astrid said lowly.

"Well that's good," Ridge said shifting Lalna a bit. "I'm ok with a bow. I took some archery classes."

"I come from a long line of swordsmanship."

"That's cool. I come from a dad that was raised in the country," I smiled. "He's kinda protective but he taught me to protect myself. Which is why I have pepper spray in my purse."

"I sleep with a knife under my pillow."

"Okay how about we stop there." Axel said quickly. I nodded.

"Yeah, let's just watch the movie."

"Sorry." Astrid said sinking down into the seat.

"It's fine, it's not like any of this is actually going to happen," I smiled.

"You never know Skyla, it could knowing with the damn country." Axel said.

"Only if Trump is elected," I muttered.

"Lets hope that it doesn't come down to that." I nodded.

"Yeah, let's just hope. Are we all still moving to Canada if Trump is elected?"

"If you want to. I'll be in England." Axel said laughing. I giggled.

"Ok, I'll enjoy my free health care and maple syrup."

"You do that Sky I will be enjoying the ladies with the british accents."

"You guys enjoy that, Lalna and I will be chilling in Fiji," Ridge smiled.

"Oh that sounds good maybe in a year we can have a get together there." I nodded.

"Yeah I like that idea. Where do you plan to go if Trump is elected Astrid?" I asked curiously.

"Uh I d-don't really know might just stay home with my parents."

"Ok, tell me when World War III is declared."

"Okay." I sighed and watched the movie. Hopefully the world won't come to that.
