Twister: Calm Before The Storm

A Rude (Stormy) Awakening

   Jonas was pretty much the only one up, Besides Rabbit and Dusty. They were watching many different scary movies, ''Jurassic Park'' was one of them. Jonas looked down at his watch again, and now it read, 4:55 AM. Jonas couldn't sleep at all that night. All of the sudden Jonas heard the wind howl outside, Rain hit the window hard, and he saw flashes of lightning... Oh no! Was there a stronger storm that was approaching?...

   4 hours before...

   It was now 12:55 AM. Jo and Bill headed up the stairs and made their way towards the end of hallway. Both were very tired, and a little but drunk. Jo opened the door to the room, and set her and Bill's stuff down in the corner of the room. She then sat down at the end of the bed. ''Some party, huh?'' She asked Bill. Bill sat down next to her, and he replied, ''Yeah. Yes it is. It was a great one.'' Jo smiled at him, then she got up. ''Well, It's late. I better be heading to bed. I have to study tomorrow. Good night Bill.''

   But before she could move any further, Bill planted his lips firmly on Jo's. Jo's Aqua colored eyes grew wide. She wasn't expecting that at all. Bill parted from Jo, and he put his hand to his temple. ''Whoa. What a night. I am so sorry that I did that, I mean we just met a few days ago.'' Jo was still shocked from what Bill did, but she caught her breath and put her hand on his shoulder. ''Hey, It's alright. We probably drank a little to much. We will most likely forget about it in the morning. We just got caught up in the heat of the moment is all, well, you did.'' Bill nodded his head, then he climbed up the ladder to the top bunk of the bunk bed. ''Well, good night Jo. I will see you in the morning.'' He yawned. Jo climbed under the covers of the bottom bunk, She yawned and told Bill, ''Good night to you too Bill. I am glad that we are friends.'' Jo then turned off the lamp in the room, and the room turned into total darkness.

   4:55 AM...

   ''What the hell?'' Jonas grunted, as he got up from the couch. He made his way towards one of the windows in Dusty's house, and he looked out of it. Something wasn't right. He felt a bad pit in his stomach, Jonas knew that something bad was going to happen! He turned his head, and he ordered Dusty, ''Dusty, you need to check the radar. Something isn't right about this storm. I think we might be in danger, Just in case we are, I need Rabbit to help me wake up the others.'' Rabbit came to his senses, while Dusty went to check the radar. ''Yes, Jonas.'' He replied. ''I'll go wake up Jo and Bill.'' Jonas told them. Meanwhile, Bill had just woke up, hearing the roaring thunder outside, and hearing the rain pelt the windows really hard. He heard the howling wind outside.

   It was total darkness from inside the room, but he felt that something bad was going to happen. ''What the hell is going on...'' Not long after, he heard a knock on the door, He heard Jonas's voice say, ''Bill, Jo! Wake up! We got to move, NOW!'' Bill shifted his body and he sat up. ''Jonas? What is going on here? Is something wrong?'' Jonas heard Dusty come up the stairs, and he went to get the others to wake up, telling Jonas that there is a Tornado Warning. ''Dudes! We got to go now! The suck zone is heading right for us!'' Jonas, reworded what Dusty had said, ''There is a tornado warning, and it is heading right for us! If we don't get underground now, everyone of us will, die, and I don't want any of my friends to die, we are a team, remember?'' Bill's eyes widened, he called to Jo. ''Jo, wake up! There is a tornado heading our way, we got to leave, Now!'' Jo came to her senses, and she turned on the lamp light, Her heart racing out of her chest. She was scared, no matter how much she denied it.

   This reminded her of the night her father died, but only this time, she might lose herself or her friends, instead of her father, and like that time, she would be an adult instead. Bill climbed down the ladder, and he grabbed Jo's arm. ''Wait, my father's hat!'' Bill pulled her forward and told her, ''There is no time Jo! We must leave now, or we will die! We will come back for it after the storm passes!'' They Followed Jonas, and everyone else down the stairs, and out the back door. Everyone was racing for their lives, as they could hear the tornado come closer to them. Jo started to have a flash back while they were running for safety. A lot went through her mind, she was so scared right now.
