The Premonition

Eleven-(Criss's p.o.v.)

After the aftershocks were over I slowly stood up and checked Johnny out to make sure he was alright...then I went to my mom and sat her up...she had a little laceration on her head...but she said she was alright...Kim was awake and by the debris that fell in between us and Kc...she was trying to move some of the rocks...hollering thru the rubble then listening to see if she could hear her...I calmed her down and told her that by looking at the ceiling I told her that it was too  thick for any voices to be heard...I looked around at all the people and after a while I noticed that my buddy Stoney was nowhere to be found.

Sully was holding Sandy when he told me that he was where the debris fell...I looked at the massive pile of rock and bent rebar and metal joints...and began digging frantically trying to see if he was underneath...JD and Costa grabbed me and pulled me back and held onto me tightly...and said if he was under there...he was dead...and that I needed to stop. I dropped down and sat their staring at the mess...hoping that he was safe on the other side of it...instead of under it...but I couldn't control my tears at all...my mom was holding Johnny when Kim came over to me and put her arm around me trying to comfort me...and to comfort herself about her friend.

After just sitting around in the clutter...I got up and said just sitting in the room wasn't going to do much...then I went into the far room and decided to explore the building to see if there was another way to get around the collapsed ceiling to see if Stoney and Kc were safe on the other side or dead...but I wasn't going to quit or give up until I had proof one way or the other...I went over to Sully and asked him how big this place was...he gave me a snicker and said an entire army could hide down here...and never be found...it was a fortress. The entire group all gathered all the supplies they could find and packed it into duffel bags then followed me thru the maze of fallen debris as we slowly made our way into the main part of the building...hoping there would be something in their for us to survive on...and eventually another way out of the shelter and back to the outside.

Meanwhile back on the other side of the collapsed building...Kc was holding onto Klayton...he was awake but he wasn't actually responsive yet...he was still in some kind of shock...and until he was responsive again...she wouldn't know how badly he was hurt...and if she needed to give him advanced medical treatment. Kc laid him gently down using her back pack as a pillow for him...then she began to try and dig her way out of the rubble again. Even though she knew it was futile she felt that she needed to try something. After digging and moving stones and rocks...and not getting anywhere...when Klayton slowly sat up and told her to stop...Kc looked over at him then to where he was looking and she realized that if she kept going the top of the mass...would end up collapsing on them both...she went over to him and asked him if he could walk...he gave her a slight grin and said he can't dance right now...but he could move.

he stood up and leaned on her for a crutch then they slowly went thru the back door and into another room...just as they entered the room and shut the door...the entire area where they were collapsed and locked them inside the room...luckily for them though...their were several other rooms and doors further down...his leg was damaged pretty badly but he kept hobbling with her until he couldn't walk anymore and sat down on a bench and said he needed to take a break...she pulled her pack off and pulled out a bottle of water...and shared it with him...then she pulled his pant leg up so she could look at the wound on his leg...it was a huge laceration...she looked at it thoroughly then washed it out with the water...and told him without looking that it was going to need stitches.

He gave her a cheesy grin and told her to do it to it...she looked at him like he was nutty...then told him that she had no idea how to do it...he gave her a slight chuckle and said to find him a needle and thread and he could do it...she rummaged thru her duffel bag and pulled out a first aid kit and handed it to him...he quickly opened it and got the necessary items he needed then put the thread thru the needle...as Kc cleaned the wound...then he began to stitch it up. Kc watched him intently as he stitched...after he finished she asked him where he learned how to do that...he gave a slight snicker and said he lived on the rough streets of New York as an exotic goth punk...and was always getting into fights...but he couldn't afford to go to a doctor...so he taught himself how to do doctoring...which paid off in the long run...then added with mild humor that he was a better doctor than most registered ones.

Kc grabbed a bandage wrap and slowly wrapped his leg up then pulled his pant leg back down then she asked him if he was ready to get on the move again...he stood up and said he was always ready...then added humorously as long as he her as a PLP...she looked at him inquisitively and said it meant personal leaning post. Kc gave him a tiny smile and put her arm around him for more support as they slowly walked thru some of the other rooms...trying to find another way out...beens the way they went in was permanently blocked...during their walk she asked him if he thought Criss, Kim, and the other's survived the cave in...he looked deeply into her eyes and said if they could...so could we...then he kissed her and told her not to lose faith...that they would find us...or we would eventually find them...then they continued to walk and search thru the rooms.
