				<em>The sound was that of a rolling thunder cloud. There was no mistake, down from the mountain top rolled an avalanche. The small group of friends had decided to go on a nice ski trip. No worries no schedules just fun. Now as they taught Sanshi the small details of how to ski the mountain began to roar. Quickly the group attempted to make it to shelter. A group of trees maybe some form of high ground. Then off to the left someone pointed out a cabin.<br><br>All of them quickly and in a somewhat paniced state made a mad rush for the wooden doors, barely making it in before the pile of snow built up around it and the thud at the door announced the new concern. They may be trapped.<br><br>The cabin itself didn't seem abandoned. However it was obvious it wasn't occupied at the moment. The generator was still off and as the snow hit the place went dark. Before it was lights out a quick glimpse of the cabin gave a hint of it's design. It was not a small cabin and the chances were that the generator was in the basement. Now all that was left to do... was to figure out what to do.</em><br><br><br><br>"You have got to be kidding me!" Olivia said loudly as she tried to catch her breath.<br><br>

				Looking around the cabin, she turned to the door, breathing heavily. Moving up to the door, hoping beyond hope that it would work, she pushed down on the handle. The handle moved, but pushing the door open was impossible, that was obvious. Thumping against it with a closed fist a few times, she turned her back to it, before leaning on it and letting herself slide down, until she was sitting down, still breathing heavily, but less so now.<br>"Well, at least we found somewhere, better in here than out there under the snow...maybe there is a phone or something?" she asked, although she doubted there would be. She doubted there would even be a telegraph machine by the looks of things; it just wasn't the sort of place you would find either. You probably would have wanted to get out here to be away from everyone, and right now, that's exactly where they were. Pushing herself up from the floor.<br>"They'll come and find us...people know we're out here, right?" this time saying it, more than asking; trying to keep the groups hopes up. "We'll be searched for..." she added, a little quiter as if she wasn't so sure of it.

				The thought of no rescue evidently never passed into Olivia's head. She was more concerned with a spa appointment later. Now the full scope of the situation sinking in a bit her face went from anger to a bit worried as her eyes adjusted to the new surrounding. Taking off her gloves and tossing them to the floor she examined as best she could the outlines of the cabin. However it did seem to start getting a bit brighter. Where was the light coming from?<br><br>The fireplace! It was far to skinny for any of them to climb up however the chimeny must not have been covered as a small portion of light filled the surrounding area.

				Sanshi had been completely taken off guard by the avalanche and everyone's panic. &nbsp;After all, snow was light and fluffy, right? &nbsp;So when a cloud of it started to flow down the mountain, it seemed like something new to experience - until she was being dragged along by Olivia and the others.<br><br>The thud against the cabin door corrected her impression of 'light and fluffy'.<br><br>"We - can't get out?" she asked, after seeing Emma try the door. &nbsp;A glance out the side windows confirmed that, although a lighter patch at the tops of those hinted that the cabin wasn't completely buried.

				Olivia's face returned to anger for a second as the wheels in her head turned. She loved to ski and loved the ski trips but now all she could think about was that they should have gone to the beach instead. However she wasn't completely heartless as she took a deep breath.<br><br>"No, we can not. However there are teams at the base of the mountain. They will notice the avalanche and send up parties to find us." she said rather calmly.&nbsp; "We will be just fine" she added without a hint of worry, more discomfort.

				Shaking her head at Sanshis' question, "Nope, no chance of getting through the door...I'm sure if it could be broken, then this place would fill with snow...so, until we find a safe way out of here, we're stuck..." she replied, not even concerned about how there was some light filtering in at the moment; the adrenaline still pumping around her body, glad to not have died then and there. Even though she knew it was useless, she just couldn't <em>grasp</em> the fact that she couldn't open the door; it looked normal, and wasn't locked. The immense scale of just how much snow there was seemed implausible to her. When Oliva spoke, she nodded, "so, we gotta sit tight I guess...there must be some stuff in this cabin, a torch...candles, matches, food, anything." she nodded, that thought calmed her down some.

				Olivia nodded in agreement however made no attempt to go find any of the items. She instead pulled off her snowcap and set it next to her gloves as she slid down the side of the wall and sat on the floor. Making a neat pile of her things next to her.

				Arik had been having fun before the storm hit.&nbsp; Skiing was a good sport, certainly when you had both arms and legs working to steady yourself.&nbsp; But when the mountain seemed to roar at the group, intent on destroying the good time that they were all having, well, he had to escape with them.&nbsp; It was Arik who called out the location of the decrepit-looking cabin to everyone else, his voice so rarely heard that it may as well have been some complete stranger that had spoken.&nbsp; Inside, he breathed heavily and slumped against a wall near the door, his ski jacket keeping him almost boiling hot considering the way he'd had to run after everyone.<br><br>The girls were the first to speak, which didn't bode well for the guys if they were all winded.&nbsp; At least with the redhead that slumped against the wall, he was nearly always silent.&nbsp; It was more expected of him to be quiet than any other guy in the group, at least.&nbsp; Still, he glanced to the women first, peeling the ski goggles off of his head along with the large hood of his jacket.&nbsp; Taking one glove off and tucking it under his arm, he snuck that arm back into the confines of the jacket to reach inside and find his cell phone inside another, lighter jacket that he wore beneath.&nbsp; Slipping the arm back out, he flipped the top of the phone up... only to find that there was absolutely no signal strength at all.&nbsp; He'd been warned that the mountain was a dead zone even by his wireless provider, but he'd been happy to learn upon their arrival that he still had a couple of bars.&nbsp; Now they were gone, and now, they were stuck.&nbsp; Closing his eyes, he just pocketed the cell phone again and started unzipping the ski jacket.

				Having just ran for her life down the mountain, Miranda was panting slightly, but not overly much. She was in good shape after all, having made countless trips to this mountain to snowboard. This hadn't been something she'd had to go through before though, and she stood silently in the center of the room, clutching her arms around her, watching the other girls around the room. Quietly, with her eyes wide, she listened carefully and brought herself out of her panic. Obviously they were stuck, fighting it was useless. Making due in it was crucial. "We have to find heat, water and light," she said barely above a whisper, mostly to herself as she started to move about the room, checking to see if the place was wired for electricity or not. <br><br>She pulled her cell out of her pocket, using it as light against the wall, and she found what she was looking for, a light switch. One that didn't work, but a light switch none the less. "Guys! This place is wired, there's got to be a source of power somewhere.." And maybe if there's power there's heat, for it seemed lighting the fire might be a bad idea, it might smoke them out. There were other ways of gaining heat, but her face flushed lightly as the more naughtier way of doing so slid through her mind. <br><br>She shrugged off those thoughts and started searching in doors for a fuze box, a generator, anything that might hold juice. One of the doors opened...to stairs?

				Oliva remained on the floor not willing to put to much effort into the exploration. It was dark and she didn't feel like fumbling around in a place she didn't know. She watched as Mir headed toward the door to explore turning only to see if David was going to stay next to her or go off as he usually did. Her eyes scanning the rest of the group. Her mind wondered as it was known to do. <br><br>

				Walking over to Arik, she smiled at him, glad to see him awake, although she knew he had some will to live, even if he didn't always voice his opinions. Maybe that was why she liked him? Because he wasn't so obnoxious or as loud as the others. He made her feel that she could pretty much say whatever she wanted to him. Of course, the others weren't as bad as some of the guys she met, (including physical appearances) and like many, healthy, females she had had the occasional fantasy, but had kept it at no more than that, that was one of the few things she hadn't voiced to Arik, for her own reasons; plus, it was only a fantasy, it wouldn't do anyone any harm. Would it? Crouching down in front of him, pulling her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around her legs "You alright?" she asked, a smile on her face, balancing carefully on the balls of her feet.

				Since no one else seemed to be interested in light, she wandered down the stairs alone, pushing the buttons on her phone to keep it lit up so she wouldn't trip when she reached the bottom. It was a basic room, with a small furnace and some other contraption she assumed to be a generator, the furnace and lights had to run somehow right? "Well, let's see if i can figure you out, shall we?" she said quietly, kneeling down in front of it. She held her phone up, sliding the light over the machine, and apparently they were easier than she assumed. She flicked the little on/off switch she had found and the beast jumped to life, making the oddest noises. Standing with a smile on her face, she turned back towards the stairs, making her way slowly up them, as there was no light yet.<br><br>Getting to the top and coming out the door, she announced to no one in particular, "Well there's a generator downstairs, i think that's what it is anyways. So I'm thinking we'll have light and heat soon." She walked to the light switch she had found earlier and flicked it again, hoping there was light. Nothing happened. "Maybe it takes a bit to work up some juice..."

				Olivia still unsure about the heat or lights as the lack of both still was overpowering. She remained seated waiting out what was going on. She looked around the group as most gave Mir a "good job" or some other sign of approval.<br><br>Oliva looked around at the clustered group and her naughtier side sliped into her head. Thoughts of the possibilites of the dark forced her to grin a bit. It wasn't to long before a loud sound came from the basement. The sound of a heater kicking in.

				<em>Wow. The only word Corey could comprehend as they ran for their lives from a wave of rushing snow. He was scared to death, but after the door shut and they knew they were safe for the moment, Corey actually laughed a bit at the comic aspect of it all. He untangled himself from the pile of people, since half of them had fallen to their faces, tripping over each other trying to get through the door. He kicked off his own ski's, and sought out Sanshi. He liked her a bit, and was enthused by the fact that she was a foreigner and a pretty girl to boot, but she was heart-warmingly adorable when she first saw the snow. Although he went to school with the rest of them, he wasn't amazingly familiar with them, and could barely muster their names half the time.<br><br>When Sanshi seemed frightened by the prospect of no escape, he put a hand reassuringly on her shoulder. </em>"We'll get out of here, the only question is when."<em> He pulled the razr from his pocket and flipped it open: no service. He didn't expect anything different, really.</em> "A few of us have phones, and pretty much all cell phones nowadays have GPS. I'm sure the tracking satellite has some aspect of time-record, and it can tell when and where we went out of service..." <em>What a ladykiller, he thought sadly to himself. All his techno-babble probably confused the hell out of her, and he probably didn't sound reassuring at all.</em><br><br>"Well uhh..." <em>the rest of his sentence was mumbled, and involved the words 'finding the lighting', and he hurried off towards the lone girl who had gone to find them. It wasn't a few seconds, however, before he heard some sounds from the other room, and Miranda walked out, and now he just felt as if he had no purpose here.</em> "I'm going to check upstairs," <em>he announced sheepishly, before trudging up the heavy wooden steps in his winter socks.</em><br><br>(Can we assume this is a two-story building or not?)

				He smiled back to Emma, and nodded to her at the question as she crouched in front of him. &nbsp;Arik licked his dry lips, and he reached out to her to touch the back of his somewhat cold hand against her cheek. &nbsp;He slid his fingers out and cupped her cheek with his much warmer palm, and caressed the skin at hand. &nbsp;They hadn't been together for very long, but they had been friends before getting together, perhaps a week and a half ago. &nbsp;It was difficult to get to know one another when one was as untalkative as the redhead was.<br><br>He blinked as Miranda's movements caught his eyes, and he glanced away from Emma to see what was happening as she opened the doors. &nbsp;She did have a point about the place being wired if she'd found a light switch, but there was the slight issue of the simple fact about a generator powering the place. &nbsp;If there was a generator, then it probably would run on gas. &nbsp;And if that was the fuel, then it'd have a finite supply of power to provide, meaning that he could guess that if there was any, then there was no telling just how much until they checked. &nbsp;Arik looked back to Emma, quite aware at the moment that the others were being just as quiet as he typically was...<br><br>And then there was a sound that came from the basement, and he smiled a little. &nbsp;He remembered the sound of heaters starting up quite well, and he nodded to Emma once more as he stood up, walking down the hall to other doors that Miranda hadn't looked through yet to try and find anything else- phones, beds, fireplace, anything. &nbsp;Not to mention a kitchen or freezer stocked with some food, it was unlikely that anyone that was in the group had brought a cooler full of food to help get through a few days alone in this place.

				The sound of the heater turning on was more then a relief to Olivia. She gave a smile and continued to look around watching the group. Her neat pile of gloves and such sitting next to her. She had not brought her cell phone since she had not planned on using it. However with the sound came a rush of air from the vent next to her. It was cold at first and she stood up to get away from it. It took some time before it started to actually blow out warm air.<br><br>It was about the time the air got warm that the first lightbulb started to weakly turn on much to everybodies excitement.

				Olivia stood finally now that the lights started to slowly come on. She finally started to examine her surroundings and get a feel for were they where. There was a few rooms and the couch didn't look to uncomfortable. There was a fireplace however she saw no wood, maybe in the basement. She watched as the others started to spread out and explore.<br><br>The heat starting to pick up with the lights. It wouldn't be long before the generator had the bulbs working at 100%

				Glad that he was alright, she heard the humm of the generator, or perhaps it was the electricity? She wasn't sure either way, but the sound of it was common; and she had been away from it for so long that only now she realised what a strange sound it was; strange that she could have forgotten it. Smiling when she felt his hand on her cheek, she slipped off a glove, and placed her hand over his. Standing up as he did, she began taking off her quite big jacket (which was keeping her very nice and warm), she put it down where Arik had previously been sitting, leaving her in her jeans and blue t-shirt. Sighing, she pulled her hair back, and put as much of it as possible behind her ears in one fluid motion. "Looks like we wont need matches" she nodded, she didn't want to chance it by saying anything about the generator breaking down. She didn't feel the need to go in search of anything, the other rooms the house had were already being investigated. So, she decided to go in search around here. Opening a small cupboard, she found some boardgames. "Well, if we get bored, we can play Monopoly, or Scrabble" she said with a small smile, before closing it and going in search again. Finding another cupboard, slightly larger this time, she started at the bottom, in which some rolled up sleeping bags, and sheets had been stuffed into, and the drawers above that contained candles, and above that was empty. <br>"We've got something to sleep in, if there aren't any beds" she informed.

				"Wonderful" Olivia quietly said again in response. She started to walk about the living room as the heat from the vents started to fill the room. She as well took of her snow suit. However her light tanktop now clung to her skin from being so warm inside the suit as she went about the days activities. Her sweats also clinging slightly as she piled up her things.

				Arik shivered slightly as the heat from the heaters in the cabin rattled slowly to life, the cold air steadily yet slowly being pushed out through the walls as hotter air came to fill the place that was now their refuge.&nbsp; He took off the other glove, tossing them into a pile not too far away from the door that he stood in front of, and then he reached to unbutton, unzip, and then pull off the large, dark green ski jacket that he'd been wearing.&nbsp; Now, he was in a pale blue ski jacket with dark blue lining as he unzipped that which was little more than a windbreaker.&nbsp; He heard Emma speak, something about boardgames, which made him smile a little bit as he looked into a room and found what looked to be a pair of full-size beds in it.&nbsp; Not a lot, but they were already decked out with blankets and such on top of them.&nbsp; "Found some beds." he called out, not elaborating any more.&nbsp; It was all that needed said, after all.<br><br>The redhead walked back to where he'd piled the gloves, and he dumped off the ski jacket, glancing around to see where everyone else was.&nbsp; It was then that he toppled over, a sharp pain erupting from his right ankle as he gasped harshly.&nbsp; Whatever it had been outside, he hadn't managed to escape completely unscathed.&nbsp; He struck the floorboards hard, wincing in pain as he moved to sit now, reaching down to pull off the ski boot and pull up the pants, the sock also coming off.&nbsp; All of his clothes were wet, whether from outside or from perspiration, he wasn't certain.&nbsp; Still, he flexed the foot and shuddered.&nbsp; "Ow." he muttered.&nbsp; His ankle was swelling up, and looked rather bruised.&nbsp; On first glance, it did look like a sprain... if it had been broken, he doubted he'd have gotten as far as he had before feeling it like he did now.

				Looking over as she heard a thud, and Arik muttering something, she turned around. Running (if it could be called as such, considering how small a distance it was) over to him, she crouched down beside him. "Still okay?" she asked, "Let me get a look at that foot" she requested, moving a bit over to where the swelling was. Gently touching it with her fingers, seeing if there was any reaction from Arik, unfortunatly though, she wasn't a doctor, so it wouldn't have helped much.

				He grit his teeth at Emma's touch, the little touch sending a spike of pain arcing up from his foot. &nbsp;At the question, he shrugged a bit- it wasn't too bad when he didn't put too much pressure on it, he found after a little testing and tensing of his muscles, and he slowly moved to stand again. &nbsp;Even now, his natural silence showed itself as he winced from the slight pain he felt when he put his foot back onto the floor, barely able to put any weight on the sprained ankle. &nbsp;At least, he hoped it was only a sprain. &nbsp;Arik looked back to his partner for the trip and smiled a little bit, though he did feel the pain still. &nbsp;"Help, please?" he asked her quietly. &nbsp;That was certainly not something very many guys said to their girlfriends so early in a relationship, if the media was any indication at all.

				The whole ordeal had been an amazing experience and with everyone gathered in the room he whispered a small prayer of thanks. He had been in similar disasters but never locked in a cabin before. With the experiences he had in the snowy north east states he didnt think it would be a big problem to survive out here, especially since they already had shelter. Now came the other essentials, food, water, and air. <br><br>Kyle had sat down on a couch, looking over himself for any injuries but luckily the only thing hurt was his pride when he went face first into the snow when the avalanche first started. "Anyone remember seeing a chimney when we first ran in?" he asked curiously. He didnt want to say why he had asked the question, but the truth was he wanted to know to see if they were completly covered with snow and had to worry about suffocation or not.

				Miranda smiled as the lights started to come on, relaxing as she went to sit beside Kyle, sliding close to him on the couch. "Well, the fireplace is letting a bit of light in, so i assume it's not blocked, or not blocked by much," she said quietly in answer to his question. They hadn't known each other long, really only a few weeks, but she slid her hand into his with familiarity.

				Kyle looked over and let his fingers curl around her hand, just holding it for now as he looked over toward her. "Read my mind again. I didnt want to say why I was asking, just in case someone lost it...well be fine for water too. If we run out we can open a window part way and just melt the snow..." He paused there and moved to put his arm around Miranda as he looked into her eyes. "Want to go find the kitchen and see what we have to work with?"

				Mir grinned slightly at his mind reading comment, as she hadn't realised she'd done it again. There were a few times here and there that she could almost read his thoughts, though she knew it was just that they thought the same on some things, and it was bound to happen. Leaning into him, she lifted her legs to put them beside her on the couch. Obviously she wasn't budging. "I'm comfy here with you, and we could use a bit of comfort after that run. I think Olivia was searching in the kitchen a bit ago. We could just ask her what she found."

				He smiled and scooted a little closer, relaxing next to her. "That works too." he replied with a smile. "Well we've got food, water, air, and company. We should be fine till the rescue teams get up here and if it takes them more then a week Im sure they'll get the national guard involved. Gotta figure a way out though...I was really hoping to have a picnic with you Mir."

				She laughed softly, turning a bit more toward him, "A picnic in the snow? I'm up for it, but hopefully we don't get too cold." She grinned, her mind slowly working on the possibilities of it, though you couldn't tell from her outward appearance that such things could wander her mind. She was normally a very prim and proper girl, but no one really saw her dreams or fantasies. Most would be shocked if they did.

				Her face flushed deeply, though her toes tingled at the words. She rubbed her face gently against his, squirming slightly. "You tease," she whispered back, smiling softly. "I'd enjoy that actually, just need to get out of this first," she said a bit louder, looking about the room, leaning into him more.

				"Its a date." he said in a normal voice before kissing her cheek. He leaned against her and let his arm pull her a little closer as his hand stroked her shoulder. "Were probably looking at two or three days till anyone can get up here. I guess we better think of a way to pass the time till then huh?"

				Smiling, she looked up into his face, her cheeks still flared red, "I'm sure you'll think of a few things.." She leaned up and kissed his neck softly. Her body was a bit tingly as images of the things she could think of were running through her minds eye.

				Nodding at Ariks' request, she helped pick him up, her arm around his shoulder, pulling him up so he as more or less standing, without putting weight on his hurt foot. Helping him over to the beds, she sat him down, not sure what else she could do. "I'll go see if I can find some water or something, hopefully it'll cool down the swelling" she said, before leaving him and looking for some water. She doubted that there would be any water in the taps, it would have probably frozen in the pipes by now.

				(Yeah... Alright, thanks.)<br><br>Arik smiled to Emma when she helped him over to the bed, and he gave her a little squeeze in appreciation before she'd leave to find some water or something.&nbsp; He hoped she might find some ice- that'd help the swelling, or so he thought to himself.&nbsp; Still, the redhead lay down on the bed, staring up at the ceiling as he shivered slightly.&nbsp; Just the thought of ice when he was trying to heat up made him unsure that he really wanted the easy-way when it came to getting the swelling to calm down again.&nbsp; Still, he glanced back to the open doorway as the heated air filtered through the cabin, and smiled a little as he waited to see his girlfriend return.. soon, hopefully.
