Told through the eyes of an OC but don't let that scare you, she's just a lens to see the main characters and won't be a big part of the plot.
Crash
Tina hugged her daughter closer to her as she stared in abject terror out the window, where smoke and flames had replaced the serene puffy white clouds. A fat lady with gray hair curled to crusty perfection with liberal amounts of hairspray screamed and sobbed before yanking the window shut, cutting Tina's view off. Her daughter shivered silently, and Tina was grateful for her quiet stoicism, she didn't have any words to console her. Suddenly, one of the flight attendants stumbled out from the front of the jet, tight blonde hair hanging in disarray around her face.
"Please," she gasped into the plane-wide comms, "If anyone has experience piloting a Boeing 747 jet, come to the front of the plane now." The plane was silent for a moment, and then the screams began in earnest. Women screamed and clung to their husbands who stared white faced in the direction of the voice. Children wailed, men shouted, the cacophony dipping and escalating in time with the sickening dips as the cabin hit air pockets, and the yellow masks bounced down in front of the passengers. One man ran to the front of the plane screaming for a parachute, pushing the flight attendant bodily aside and trying to force open the emergency exit hatch while the screams in the first class section nearest the door reached a new pitch.
Tina clutched her daughter to her, white hands making marks on the child's skin. The man was leaning over her legs for the door, his hand over the hysterical fat lady's mouth as they all struggled to keep the man away from the door. Suddenly the pressure was lifted. Tina cracked her eyes to see the man being lifted by his collar off of her lap. A few well placed jabs by a lightly tanned hand and the man lay unconscious on the floor. The screaming abated a bit. Taking advantage of the slight silence, Tina's rescuer said in a deep, commanding monotone, "Take me to the cabin, I have training."
A deep silence followed these words. The passengers stared at the owner of the voice in shock. A boy that must have been no older than seventeen, if that, with messy brown hair and deep blue eyes stood calmly in front of the stewardess. She might have smiled, but the look in his eyes somehow left no doubt that the boy was telling the truth. She moved to obey, but was stopped by the others in the first class cabin.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" One man asked, his choked voice leading Tina to wonder if his blue striped tie was a little too tight. "You can't let a child pilot a plane like this!" He clutched his laptop defiantly over his blue suit. "This is an outrage! He blustered on, if this airline is so incompetent—" he was cut off by the boy turning slowly around to face him. The boy's eyes hit him full force, the glare so strong he was completely lost for words and found himself sinking back in his seat. The boy continued up into the cockpit, followed shortly by another almost younger looking boy with a long braid. Another blond came shortly after.
The passengers in the first class cabin stared at the cockpit door in shock as the parade of children walked past, calmly and authoritatively. Blue tie man seemed to regain his voice.
"We're all going to die! To think, that this airline would be so horribly screwed up! What was I thinking getting on this plane! I obviously wasn't! Just like they aren't if they're letting a child pilot a plane! I don't know about you but I'm getting out of here! I'm not staying here to be killed by some bomb-toting terrorist tots!" A ringing silence followed his words, everyone watching him as he lunged for the cockpit, diving for a locker that opened just inside the red glow of the cockpit.
I know the plane crash has been done a lot but it's a fantastic plot device and I had to try my hand at it. This is my first chapter fic, and I know the chapters are short but I'll update fast. I hope you like it, and please review! All kinds are welcome! Is this worth continuing? Should I write a prologue?
