I woke up in the pitch black and roll out of bed. It's freezing. I rub my arms and put a hoodie over my pyjama top I then call out for someone to see why it is colder than normal. No one out of the six of them replied. I go out and knocked on the door that leads to Maddie's door. She doesn''t reply so I go in and see her fast asleep. I shake her slowly and repeat her name over and over my voice going high pitched and she turns to face me. Her eyes half closed "Maddie! Why on earth is it so cold? And dark for that matter" she sits up slowly and shakes her head "must be the fuse. Get Justin to check it" I nod and leave. Being the youngest I am the main person they have to look after. I get to Justin's door and rush in and jump ontop of him "Justin...Maddie said you have to check the fuse" "Come on...five more minutes" "no Justin. Check it's too dark" "You're seventeen not seven go do it yourself. It will be back on in a hour or so" I nod and head outside checking the fuse in my hoodie and pyjamas. The fuse seemed fine so I went to my nieghbor and knocked on thier cold wooden door.
The nieghbor had said that there is no electricity, gas, power and Wifi she must of thought it would calm me down. It made me more jumpy. I rushed inside and Maddie was downstairs trying to cook raw bacon. "Power is out. It's a complete black out." "No way" "yes it is unlikely to be back on today or tomorrow. The nieghbor said." "full of rubbish" she continues to cook and Justin comes downstairs with Callum, Hannah and Georgia. I smile "complete black out now what?" Maddie says. Justin points at me "she done it with our fuse" "I wouldn't of went out if you never done it yourself" "still you done it" "I never touched it" Maddie ignores us muttering prayers to her gods and Georgia is looking for candles. Callum is trying to soothe Maddie and Hannah is waking Tia up. Tia comes down grumpily and I stop bickering with Justin. We sit down at our wooden table and eat some butter and jam sandwiches because the butter is kinda melted and easier to spread.
Justin began to have a 'game' plan. He had no idea what he was talking about. Callum mentioned to ration our food and split it. Hannah said she needs time to light all the candles around the house. Maddie is still in a state but she mentions going to the shop. What for we never got told. Tia says we need water cause we can't survive two and a half days without it. I mention that for heat we can light a fire in our fireplace or outside. We split up and we get a list of supplies we need such as water, canned food, long lasting bread, and litterly anything good for energy.
I get put with Justin and we get everything we need and still has some cash left. I spot blankets "we should get some blankets and lighters. Maybe some candles too." I suggest and Justin nods and we get the blankets and then we try to find the lighters. My fear is not as strong but it definitly is still there.
We get back and Justin and I are greeted by candles all around and a burning fireplace. There is food on the table for lunch but not too little and not too much. It's mainly dairy since it won't last. Maddie is yelling since she wants to watch TV and there is no wifi. Georgia is with Hannah arguing about the circumstances with the candles and how they're a hazard. I see Callum flipping Maddie off and Tia is making a log pile beside the fireplace ignoring the drama. I yell at them to stop and they finaly stop and we store everything away and eat lunch.
After Lunch we made sure everyone was as happy as could be then we played rounds of chess. We made sure we were all in the same room for the night with candles and matterises and the candles a safe distance away. We had out duves and blankets. We went to bed to get ready to do this all over again.
Justin woke up and woke me up and said "all our food and supplies is gone. Someone must of taken them." I immediately get up and race downstairs he was right but who would do that? We barely had anything and then I heard crying. Maddie. I turn to find her hunched up sobbing her little broken heart out. I find all our stuff around her. "What on earth are you doing?" "Hades please spare our broken souls from this fateful place give us all our needs and we won't be in your relem we will give you peace from us" I stare at her. "What are you doing?" "sending Hades our sign of giving up" "right" "go back to bed" I leave and tell Justin and then I go back to sleep.
