Fuck

'Raven, come on, let me cook' I told to my baby dragon who kept clinging onto me. 'Wee can cuddle later, promise'
The dragon set me free with a displeased grumble and sat down on top of the freezer. I laughed a little and continued cooking. Suddenly, as I turned on the oven, the lights went off. I quickly turned off the oven and the stove, breath caught on my throat. Raven curled on my shoulders protectively, as I looked around for a way to turn on the lights again.
My roomate and I asked our neighbours if they knew how to turn them on. As my roomate and the neighbours looked for a way inside, I went downstairs to see if I could see anything. My heart beated loudly about the whole thing. I didn't want to think about what could happen if we didn't find a way to turn them back on. I knew it was an unfounded fear, but I couldn't avoid feeling it.
As I went upstairs again, I saw a light panel similar to the closed panel behind the door. I went to our floor, and saw that the neighbours had found the panel too. They opened it, but didn't know which switch would turn the lights on. They left as I looked at the panel.
Finally, I found the correct switch and turned on the lights. I let out a breathy laugh as relief flooded through me.
'I'm not going to turn on the oven ever again' I said with a laugh, only half joking.
