Chapter 52: Fire Escape (?)
~•~
After Liz woke Mez up and untied her Lori began pouring gasoline near the door of the basement, with the lighter on she sets it on fire before running back down.
Mezza: Mary would've been proud to watch this-
Liz: I think she would react the opposite of that-
Lori: Shut up you two-
Liz: uH, sOrRy-
Mezza: No.
Soon enough the fire reached the door, burning it, and then and it eventually reached the walls, the three watched from the sToNed basement, the smoke piling up, the fire growing bigger and the wood turning black.
Mezza: What was the plan again?
Lori: We just wait, until the house is burnt down...
Mezza: ...wow thats really boring..
Lori: I know right? I just realized that.
Liz: You're literally setting your own house on fire-
Lori: Want to die tomorrow?
Liz: No-
Lori: Good girl.
Liz: d-did you just-
Mezza: Gay-
Lori: What did I do?-
Mezza: Nothing-

Both of Lori's parents were upstairs in their bedroom, mainly studying about every single chemical by book, until Mr. Cordeigh smelled smoke from downstairs.
Dennis: What did you cook?
Mrs.C: I didn't cook anything...
Dennis: Are you sure you're not boiling that squirrel's blood...?
Mrs.C: I would, but you know I don't do squirrels on tuesdays..
Dennis: Then what on earth am I smelling..?
Cordeigh dropped the book and marched to the stairs down to the floor, to his horror the door and the walls near the basement were burning, meanwhile the three were constantly coughing in the smoke-filled air room
as the fire spreads across the living room, Dennis quickly ran to their room and ushered his wife to pack up.
Dennis: And don't forget the syringes!
Mrs.C: Why? What's happened?
Dennis: MOVE IT.
She nodded and began doing what she was told to while Dennis grabbed a rope from under the bed, wrapping it around one of the bed's foot and throwing the other end of the rope outside the window. He gestured her to go out first and so she did, he glanced out the room one last time and saw a glimpse of fire creeping up as the side before going out the window aswell, as everything in the house began burning, almost all people in the neighborhood were watching and panicking.
Neighbor 1#: Holy smokes-
Neighbor 2#: Too soon!
Neighbor 1#: I wasn't making a joke!
Neighbor 3#: Someone call the fire department!
Neighbor 2#: On it!
Neighbor 4#: Everyone else.. ITS 11PM SO FORGET ABOUT YOUR WATER BILLS!
Everyone rushed into their homes and began filling buckets with water while some grabbed their garden hoses and ran back to the burning building spraying it at the house, the ones with the buckets threw every inch of water at the house and went straight back, repeating the process.
Lori: Did you girls hear that?
Mezza: Hear what—
Liz: UNO!
Mezza: hEy- no fair!
Liz: Too bad, so sad-
Lori: Elizabeth.
Liz: Sorry..
Mezza: I- You two-faced biatch-
Liz: You're just jealous-
Lori: 4+....
Liz:
Mezza:
Liz: tHatS nOt fAiR-
When the fire department arrived they immediately burst through the door startling the three.
Lori: Okay-
Mezza: The hell was that-
Liz: ...what if its your dad—
Lori: Stuart, get the fire crackers.
Mezza: You guys have—
Lori: It's on the shelf.
Mezza went over to the shelf and picked up the fire crackers, just like what Lori said, and gave it to the girl.
Lori threw it up to the living room, sending explosions and loud noises, the firemen rolled over and took cover, surprised.
Fireman 1#: We need backup! The fire is getting aggressive!-
Fireman 2#: This house is crazy!
Fireman 1#: I sAid wE nEeD bAcKuP-
Fireman 2#: Right, sorry-
The guy took out his little walkie talkie thingy.
Fireman 2#: We need backup, I repeat, wE NEED BACKUP!
Fireman 3#: They said they need backup, come on!
The firemen started shooting water into windows, Fireman 1# crawled himself to the basement door and stood up as he the saw the three girls casually playing UNO.
Fireman 1#: Girls! We need to get you three out of here!
Mezza: The basement is fireproof sir-
Fireman 1#: Don't be scared! We can get you to safety!
Mezza: I just said—
Fireman 1#: Take my hand!
He extended his arm as the three stared at him before they stood up and walked up the stairs, he immediately pulled them out and kept them close, the fire was literally everywhere and smoke is the only thing you can smell.
He guided them outside the door, along with the other fireman, once they got out the people cheered, Lori was genuinely confused while Liz and Mez were smirking at eachother.
Mezza: I've seen bigger cheers in my reign-
Liz: Oh please, compare England's cheers to yours.
Mezza: I'm sure Scotland is wAy louder.
Liz: I bet they're louder when I'm there-
Mezza: They hated you-
Liz: No they didn't-
Mezza: They did-
Liz: They didn't-
Mezza: Rinn iad!
Liz: Uhm..
Mezza: hAh- You don't understand Scottish-
Liz: Well yeah because I was too busy learning Welsh, Greek, Latin, Spanish, French, and Italian- Vous stupide fille-
Lori: What are you two bickering about..?
Both: nOthIng.
Fireman 1#: Hey, wrap yourselves around these blankets while we put the rest of the fire out, yeah?..
The man handed them each a blanket and they all wrapped themselves in it as he ran back into the house to check if there's anyone else inside.
Liz: Oh geez- I have no idea it would end up like this-
Lori: Sure you do.
Mezza: I'm legit tired right now..
The other people who were from different sides of the town came in to check the house, some of them were—
Anne: Elizabeth!
Liz: Mum?-
Anne ran pass people towards Lizzie before pulling her into a tight hug.
Anne: Where were you?? We've been looking everywhere for you two! Are you okay??
Liz: Okay slow down-
The other queens also came running in with Jane winning 1st place- to hugging Mezza.
Jane: We finally found you! Is anyone hurt??
Mezza: I want ice cream..
The queens crowded around the kids while sharing how glad they are to see them again while Lori watched in the distance, smiling warmly when someone lightly tapped her shoulder, she turned around and saw a fireman giving her a little smile.
Fireman 4#: Is that you're family?
Lori: Uhm.. n-no, I live here with my parents actually..
The man nodded until another fireman approached him, telling him that there was no one else inside, Lori's face was visibly confused, after he left the fireman gave her a frown.
Fireman 4#: Sorry kiddo, it seems like your parents aren't there..
Lori: Wait what? They were in the house awhile ago.
Fireman 4#: Hey hey, it's alright, you got anyone else to go and live with?
Lori: Well...
Lori glanced at Lizzie, who was smiling and surrounded with everyone she loves, and loves her back, Lori always dreamed of that feeling, she wants to feel it one more time, but that's impossible in her case, she sighed and turned back to the fireman.
Lori: There's this one place..
Lizzie checked around her and saw Lorraine walking off to the fire truck with a fireman, confused, she leaned over to get a better view, Lori was entering the truck, not batting an eye.
Then after the show's over the truck drove off, leaving a hella confused Elizabeth.
