Pinkie Promise? [Katy Perry Fan Fiction]

A Terrible Turn Of Events

             -Fifteen Years Later-

Fire lept dangerously up the walls of the small house, scratching and clawing threateningly at it. The scene itself was bad enough. What makes it even worse is the fact that there are people inside, a whole family in fact!

Downstairs a man was yelling crazily as he stared at the fire that were now consuming the house.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!" He screamed, as if nobody knew. A woman was inside too.

"Simon, stop it! We have to get to the children!" She sobbed, not knowing what to do. The man ignored her, he had noticed something. A window was open, and it wasn't covered with flames yet! He quickly ran towards it and dived out, just as the fire reached the window. "SIMON!" Yelled the woman, praying that her husband would be okay. That was when she heard a creek. The ceiling was collapsing! She screamed and fell to the floor. Thick black smoke filled her vision. Then her world went black.

"MUMMY!" A voice cried from upstairs. A little girl, of about four, watched as her mother fell. She ran to the fire covered stairs in a blind panic.

"Candy, you idiot! You can't!" Cried an older voice. "You'll be burnt alive! Just get DOWN!" The older girl looked about fifteen. She grabbed her sister and pulled her away from the stairs, not wanting her to get a view of their unconscious Mother. Then she began looking around, as if she had lost something. "Blaze? BLAZE?" She called.

"I'm here..." A muffled voice replied. Then a young boy, of about six, crawled into the hallway over to his sisters. "I couldn't get the twins to come out of their room," he explained and gestured towards the two toddlers that were trailing fearfully behind him. The teenager nodded and pulled her siblings closer to her.

"Don't worry, help will come soon...." She whispered.

"Pinkie promise?" Candy whispered croakily as the deathly smoke began attacking her young lungs.

"Uh-huh," the girl nodded. "Pinkie-" But she was cut off as a terrible creeking sound filled the house again.

"MUMMY, HELP!" Screamed Candy, terrified, and ran away from her siblings.

"NO, CANDY! CANDY! CANDISE BAKER COME BACK!" The teenager cried, just before the ceiling came thundering towards the ground. Then it all went black...

Outside policeofficers, ambulances, firefighters and spectators were all gathered around the house. The man who had jumped out of the window was now being rushed to hospital. He was very badly burnt all over.

"Who was that man?" The police Inspector asked his colleage.

"Mr Simon Baker, Sir." The Officer answered.

"How many other people are believed to be inside?" The inspector asked.

"Six people, Sir. A woman and five children. Oh and some cats, Sir." The Officer answered again.

"The cats seem to be alright," the Inspector said and nodded in the director of the bottom of the house. A stream of cats were fleeing out of a tiny basement window. The Inspector turned his attention away from the many cats and towards the firefighters. "Alright, there are believed to be six people inside that building right now. Five children and a woman. I want them out of three alive! Understood?" He said confidently. The firefighters nodded at him.

"Yes, Sir!" They chanted. The head fireman looked at the Inspector.

"We'll get 'em out," he said. Then he turned to his crew. "Alright guys, in and out okay? GO!"

It didn't take the firefighters long to locate the woman.

"Alright," the head fireman said threw his gas-mask. "Get her outta here, quickly. She's gonna need oxygen!" A fireman quickly scooped her up and rushed her outside.

"Mrs Carline Baker," the police Officer told the Inspector.

"One out of six... Let's hope the firefighters pull through..." He said, nodding.

Back inside the firefighters had split up to find the children, half looking downstairs, half looking upstairs. The children were found completely by accident in the end. A firefighter was edging up the unstable stair and was about to tread over the wooden pole, that had once been part of the ceiling, when she tripped. She hit the floor and found herself face to face with an unconscious Candy.

"Oh my..." The firefighter breathed. "Hey guys! I found someone!" She yelled out and began trying to break the little girl free. Other firefighters began going up then and it wasn't long before all five unconscious children were being carried out of the burning down house and towards the ambulances.

"They're all there," the police Officer said. The Inspector nodded, more than a little relived. Then the two men went over to see the head Doctor.

"How bad, Doc?" The Inspector asked.

"Well I haven't been able to examine them properly yet but they look much better then their patents do," he said.

"Okay. I'll get a social worker down to the hospital as soon as I can then, just incase. We'll work on placing for them." The Inspector said. "We'll be at the hospital soon..." The doctor nodded and got into the ambulance.

"Poor kids, huh?" The officer said as he and the Inspector made their way to their car.

"Feeling sentimental, Roberts," the Inspector teased as they got in. Officer Roberts just smirked. He knew that the Inspector felt exactly the same way he did. He just had a different way of showing it.
