New Reigns

First topic message reminder :

"Dad!" Thomas had darted over to his father's car as he had parked and gave him dabs.
Griffin rubbed his head. "Tommy." He greeted and rubbed his eleven year old's head affectionately. "I hope you're playing fair." He told him and grabbed the basketball from his hands and threw it over to Benjamin who quickly tossed it through the hoop. The group of boys, Presley Dustin, Alex, Benjamin, Jay, Jasper, Seth and Tyrese were often outside
"I told you Tyrese sucks at basketball, Jasper." Benjamin  stated annoyed with his brother as he had hopped in front of the boy to claim the ball before he could, and began to dribbled around attempting to avoid him.
Griffin shook his head and watched his son dart over back to the other boys and headed over to the house where fifteen year old Kitty was sitting with her ipod blasting beside her sister Dawn while doing her nails. "Did mom make you two hang out together again?" He asked as he made his way inside.
"Hi daddy." Kitty greeted then shook her head. "No, we were bored." She admitted. "And worrying about finding a boyfriend." She smirked knowing how much that bothered her father.
"You wish." Griffin said and grabbed both of their phones checking through  the contacts. "I want those boys deleted both of you." He said and smacked both their heads lightly before heading inside. "And remember, I don't want you guys hanging around Alex or Jay alone." He warned and walked over to Jane and kissed her head. "Hey baby." He greeted and sat beside her.

Tyrese glared at his brother then grabbed the ball and threw it at his head. "Shut up faggot!" He said and punched him in the stomach.
Benjamin put his younger brother in  head lock. "I'm going to kick your ass kid."

"Let put a speed on the driving Aria." Cedar said quickly as they had begun to try and jump on the bus.

Tyrese looked down clung to her and winced at the window broke not too far away.

Miles sighed. "No need to act so recklessly." He told her quietly.

Emmett shook his head. "They're not going to do anything."

Aria nodded and slammed her foot down on the gas pedal, allowing the bus to lurch forward.

Cora kneeled on the seat and looked down at the people with her head tilted curiously. "Why are they doing that?" she asked her father, leaning back as one of them threw a rock at her window. She narrowed her eyes at them and leaned closer once more. "Why don't they just get in?"

"Aria might as well kill us all with her driving then the actual world," Hallie mumbled to herself and grabbed hold on the seat near her. "Cora, people are stupid and none of them probably even thought about that."

Cedar watched as the people gradually died away. "That's enough hell for us in one day. Look night is taking voer and you've been driving the whole day, I'll take the wheel for now alright?" He suggested.

Tyrese got to his feet and sat beside his mother and on his knees staring at the back window. "They're crazy mom."

Emmett looked at Lilith and sighed.

"No, I'm fine." Aria told him and brushed the hair out of her face.

"I know." Mia nodded.

Seth remained uner the seats, finding it was kind of comfortable.

Cedar sighed. "Come on just tell me what direction I'll be driving in and I'll wake you up if I need anything." He said with a tiny nod.

Miles looked through his tablet and grunted. "Severe weather conditions are on the rise in what areas are unknown."

Hallie sat up in the seat and began to rub her forearms. It was going to get cold now most of the windows were broken or cracked. "Californians.."

Cora nodded as the people became less and less until they had disappeared. "Yeah, they are." she agreed.

"You need to stay on the road going to Arizona." Aria said, finally giving in and taking a seat by herself.

Cedar took the wheel. "Everyone get to sleep." He told them and began to drive focusing on the road before him. It was only one city away from heading Arizona before he noticed that the temperature had dropped extremely low.

Tyrese began to shiver in his sleep beside his mother. Most of them had gone in shorts and simple tshirts due to the warm weather earlier before the sudden change.

Lilith awoke and began to sneeze immediately and tremble.

Digging through her bag, she grabbed her teal hoodie and threw it over Lilith's head. "There, that should keep you warm for tonight." Hallie sat on Emmett lap and rested her head on his chest. "Hi there."

Jasper sprawled out on his seat and leaned against the bus to get more comfortable with his position. It was going to be a rough night and he would most likely wake up with his neck hurting.

Ryder shrugged, she agreed that it was pointless for the crowd to have been so reckless, but given the circumstances, she found it hard to hold them accountable. After feeling a shift in the weather, she grabbed her backpack and pulled out a hoodie, then slipped her arms and legs in it to keep warm.

Aria curled up by herself, trying to keep warm.

Jacki shivered and hugged her brother closer. "Are you ok Elliot?"

Elliot nodded and cuddled his sister for warmth.

Mia pulled Tyrese onto her lap to hug him and try to keep him warm.

Tyrese nuzzled against his mother for warmth and continued to try and sleep.

Miles leaned in against Ryder for the little warmth they could share between them.

Avril got up to pulled hoodies over her daughters and wrap Keith up in a blanket then passed him to Michael before searching through a few a bags to give a blanket to each of the kids. She stopped at Elliot and Jacki. "Hey sweet hearts, sit with your mother so you can share that blanket with her okay?" She told them before passing another to Hallie, Emmett, and Lily. She passed another to Angel, Bladen, and Summer then another to Jay and Alex.

Ryder pressed close to Miles, but it didn't prove to make her much warmer since both of them were practically frozen. "There's gotta be a truck stop or a motel with some heat around here," she suggested through chattering teeth, "Even if we only stop for a couple minutes."

Jacki and Elliot slowly got up and went to go lay with their mom, cuddling under the blanket and trying to stay warm.

Hallie pulled Lilith into her lap and wrapped the blanket over them, "Thanks Avril."

Cedar stopped the bus and walked over to everyone. "We're officially in Arizona and it's freezing I need your opinion on what's going to be done."

"Everyone's freezing." Emmett grunted and sat up. "What's to be done?"

"It might be wise for us to find a way to get warm," Ryder suggested and looked up at Cedar.

"I think it would be wiser to be find like a motel or something to stay at. Being on a bus, freezing isn't going to help much," Micheal chipped in on the opinions and crossed his arms. It was only a small step of survival, but a least it would help some.

Jacki slowly fell asleep, ignoring the conversation.

Aria sighed. "I agree. It's too cold for the kids, and we need supplies anyway."

Cedar finally pulled over at a motel and walked in gesturing for the others to follow.

Emmett got his family up first and rushed them out. "Come on guys." He grunted.

Jasper got up and grabbed his stuff, following everyone off the bus and into the motel. He wasn't so sure if he wanted to stay here after all, it was creepy.

Hallie leaned up and carried Lilith in her arms, getting off the bus as well. "I would be surprised if someone was still here after all the events that have happened.."

Jacki held her brothers hand and walked into the hotel, followed by her mother and Mia, Seth, Jane, and Dawn.
