So here's the setting, it's like 3 in the morning, Jeff and Rhea are in bed, I'm falling asleep on the coach, and Blaine is playing Bioshock. Blaine mutters something about checking out an alarm (me thinking it's in game) say yeah go for it, as I lay there everything starts coming back and I realize that the alarm isn't in game, it's coming from the apartment.
I get up and grab my cat Artemis, and hobble to the door, I can hear people yelling, and someone is running down the hallway very quickly. I peer out the peep hole and thought I saw blood splatter on the door (turns out its just the door decoration in front of the hole). Needless to say I start freaking out crying and burst into Jeffs room waking them up frantically. Blaine is still in the hallway. Jeff goes to see what happens but Blaine gets back in time to announce the apartment is on fire. I start freaking out more. I stuff Artemis in the tiny cat carrier and shove the bunny in as well. We had to hunt for the other 2 cats because they ran away but eventually got them and went outside. It only took a few moments of us being outside for the fire to be taken down. It was an apartment just down the hallway, still not sure of what caused it.
I'm still really shook up over this, my biggest fear of life at the moment is my home being set on fire, and I come to face this half asleep at 3 in the morning.
Nothing like saying Happy Holidays through fire.
