She was laying on a cloud, making cloud angels. It smelt like fairy floss to her. Winter bounced up and jumped pnto the next cloud, careful not to fall off and plummet down to Earth. When she landed on the adjacent cloud, she laughed happily. Then she took a great leap again and arrived at another cloud. What a fun place! On the next cloud, she missed it by a metre, but she found that she did not fall. Instead she stayed afloat in midair and was able to fly around the sky. Weeeeee!
There was a loud bang and people shouting in the distance. Was it from another cloud? No, it sounded like...she was waking up from her dream. No no no! She doesn't want to wake from the dream! Too late, she had left cloud land, but she was not awake yet, snoozing away in her hostel. It was hardly even dawn yet.

Kid had not fall asleep yet he been up late drinking he met another Australian and had spent many hours drinking with her and talking about life back home they both traveling overseas for the first time. Kid heard a commotion outside his room people evacuating the place 'What happening?' Kid ask but got no straight answer just panic about needing to get out. Kid remember girl he drinking with being gentleman he had walk her to her room so knew where she was staying. Something about her reminded him of his sister back home. He wonder if she was out yet he decided go check he grabs his bag ran to her room knocked and went inside.
He found her fast asleep in her room 'come on you've got to get up' he said tapping her awake 'no no no' she muttered still half sleep 'yes you do' Kid hissed back tying to wake her

There were shouting and banging noises outside the room. A shrill high pitch sound that sounded like a siren was heard as well. What an odd dream this was, especially after the nice cloud land she was in. Presently she also felt a pressure on her arm.
'Go away,' she muttered. She needed sleep, this California tour was gruelling and she had spent half the night drinking with another Queenslander in the hostel cafe area.
She waved the hand away and turned around in the bed to return to sleep.

Kid really couldn't help but be reminded of trying to get his sister out of bed when they young
Well ok you made me' he said under his breath and resorted to same tactics he used on his big sister in their youth
'You need to get up now!' As he said the last word he flip the mattress up making Winter fall to the ground 'good morning princess' he grinned 'Don't know what happening but we need to leave '
Post by Winter Kaiyn on Jun 9, 2018 9:32:51 GMT -5
Winter did not see it coming at all, and not because she had her eyes closed. Her mattress rose up and she tumbled down the side of it, rolling onto the floor with a smack.
Winter was awake now and she was not happy. 'Heyyy!' she said with indignity. 'What was that for?' Winter squinted up at her 'attacker', recognising him. 'Kid? You better have one hell of a reason for waking me at -' she stood up, looking at her watch, '- 5am in the morning! And what is all that noise outside?'

'Sunrise party of coruse' Kid answered sarcastically ' I don't know what happening but they evaluating the hostel thought might be hugging the porcelain throne after drinks with me so took it a pond myself to be your personal hero and check on you' Kid said with mock chivalry 'Come on let go yes your hair looks fine'
Post by Winter Kaiyn on Jun 9, 2018 9:51:25 GMT -5
Still foggy with sleep, and wondering whether Kid was half serious about the sunrise party (she thought it was a stupid idea anyway), she grabbed her coat and her wallet from under her pillow and followed Kid out. She'll come back for her passport and luggage later. 'What's wrong with my hair?' she asked, combing it with her fingers.
Outside in the corridor, the sirens were louder, to the point that many people had their fingers in their ears. Everyone seemed to be out of their rooms in their pajamas. Maybe there was a sunrise party afterall. People were sprinting towards the stairs and scrambling down the 2 floors to the ground level. She supposed they should go too.

Kid ignored her question and her hair and frog march her down the hall. He smirk at people queuing for the elevator that was temperamental at best of times. 'anyone with half a brain no in emergency you use the... No' Kid said as Winter half asleep made to turn for elevator 'down the stairs' Kid told her someone shoved pass almost knocking them over 'oi watch it' he called after them 'think heard something about a bus waiting outside' Kid told her

Winter shuffled down the stairs with the crowd. It was very noisy, full of people shouting, jostling, and that ongoing shrill of the emergency siren.
'Is it a fire? I don't smell smoke,' she said sniffing. She wondered vaguely why they would have to get on a bus if the building was on fire. Surely you just need to cross to the other side of the road for safety.
They arrived at the ground floor. Half of the crowd was still half asleep like her, grumpy and tired. The other half seemed to be alert, like Kid. She shoved her way out of the building with Kid, craning her neck upwards to see if she could see smoke coming from any of the windows.

Doesn't seem like fire' Kid said 'City responds in seven minutes after an alarm pulled be here by now. Kid remember vividly the house fire as child that killed his dad
'Woman and small children first priority in emergency try get front pepole panic things get nusty who knows how much room on the bus'
Post by Winter Kaiyn on Jun 9, 2018 19:52:38 GMT -5
Winter didn't see any smoke, and Kid didn't believe it was a fire either. She pushed her way through the crowd, aiming for the two buses parked outside. It seemed like everyone was scrambling to get on.
'Why are we heading to the bus?' she asked a random person rushing past her.
'I don't know, the hostel staff told us to get on them. Some kind of emergency.' the person replied and disappeared into the crowd.
It was clear they weren't going to fit into the first bus, so she went over to the second one.

'Come on Winter cool kids sit at the back' Kid told her making his way to back he look at girl who seem pale and shaking slightly 'someone had a big night' Kid muttered
Post by Winter Kaiyn on Jun 9, 2018 20:01:59 GMT -5
They found a seat near the back, but it was the last ones. Soon the bus filled and a crowd of them were standing in the aisles. She pressed her face to the window, overlooking the hostel. There must be hundreds of them on the street, including people spilling out from adjacent buildings. The sky was starting to lighten into a deep purple. Up above them in the sky, she saw a dozen helicopters circling overhead.
'Wow Kid, look at all those choppers. Looks serious whatever is happening,' she commented, patting Kid on the arm to tell him to look. 'I bet a dangerous convict escaped from prison. A gang of convicts, that's why they're evacuating everyone and the choppers are looking for them,' she said lightly, feeling amused.

Kid yawn and played with his ring that belonged to his dad absentmindedly. 'Skip over the part about early morning bus rides. Travel books' Kid look up at helicopter. 'Strange check online for news reports' Kid got out his phone 'no singnal that really weird' feeling of foreboding increased. 'Any idea where this bus is taking us?' Kid ask out loud to the bus
Post by Winter Kaiyn on Jun 9, 2018 21:45:31 GMT -5
Winter felt in her pockets for her phone, then cursed loudly when she realized she had left it in her room. She didn't think they'd be travelling anywhere. 'No service?' she asked surprised. 'The escaped prisoners are that bad? Maybe they took out communications like they do in the movies.'
When Kid asked the question, no one seemed to hear. However the woman sitting in front of them turned around and leaned in. 'I got a call from my boyfriend in San Francisco 2 hours ago. I think there's a disease of some kind. They are taking us to a safe place I think.'
Winter frowned. Disease? What disease? What illness would warrant a whole block to be evacuated? And the woman had said San Francisco. They were in Los Angeles.

'But that sounds like quarantine shouldn't decease control be called in or something' Kid trailed off 'are we being taken away to be kept safe....or to be kept away from others' Kid eye off the girl who look unwell 'sure it nothing but than what this have to do with phone lines being down?' Kid asked Winter
Post by Winter Kaiyn on Jun 10, 2018 0:29:42 GMT -5
The lady in front had turned back and ignored them. The bus lunged forward and Winter watched as the hostel slowly pulled away.
'I dunno why the lines would be down, it's strange,' she said. 'Must be a serious sickness.'
As the bus rolled away down the busy road of downtown Los Angeles, she saw the streets were in chaos. People were running and panicking. Such an odd sight to see so many people up at the crack of dawn, some running at full sprint. Winter also saw other busses transporting masses of people away. She thought she saw an elderly woman tackle a man on the street, but that can't be right. Before she could take a closer look, the bus had turned the corner.

Winter was gazing out the window, now thinking about Disneyland. They were passing suburbs. It was quieter here, but every few houses, you see a family packing things into their car. What was going on?
It wasn't until Kid all of a sudden shouted out that Winter noticed the woman. It was the same woman who had talked to them at the start of the trip. Winter stood up to get a better look at her from over the seats. The man sitting next to her was staring with concern and shock at the sickly woman, they didn't seem to know each other.
Winter saw that the woman was pale. Very pale, almost grey and she wasn't moving. She poked the woman on the shoulder, aware that the rest of the bus was silent and looking at them. 'Hey excuse me, are you alright? Are you unwell?'
The woman's head just rolled, eyes closed, not responding. The man next to her looked at Kid and Winter, 'she had been moaning a few minutes ago, now she's stopped completely.'
The bus continued to move, the bus driver kept looking at his rear view mirror to see what was going on. 'She's definitely not well,' Winter announced looking at Kid, then at the rest of the bus.
