New story! LOST!
Finn's POV…
"Aw! Come on, man! Same team!" Maybeck yelled at the screen. It's amazing; 3,000 feet in the sky, and they can still play C.O.D. on XBOX Live. We were on a plane to Hawaii, for the opening of the new Disney resort there. We had left the CA airport (We had to stop to fill up on gas,) about a half hour ago. Now, we were over the Pacific Ocean, an amazingly beautiful turquoise color. Occasionally, we'd fly over a tropical island so inviting, I wanted to tell the plane to land on the island for a half hour or so, so we could swim in the water and run along the beach.
"That guy keeps betraying our team, boot him!" Philby said angrily. I shook my head.
Willa, who was seated on the floor with her back against the front of Charlie's chair, was in the middle of a book. "No! Percy!" she mumbled. Percy Jackson, the newest series she was addicted to. I chuckled.
Charlene was flipping through a teen magazine, glass of water in hand.
"Oooh! A sneak peek at New Moon! Willa, look! Bella and Jacob! Hey, that didn't happen in the book! Willa, you're coming to see this with me!"
"I hate Twilight! You are not dragging me to that movie!"
"Yes! You're coming, no matter what you say!"
"Fine, but you're coming to see Percy Jackson 2 with me."
There's a shocker.
Amanda, Jess, and I were crowded around the screen of Philby's iPad, watching Inception.
"I'm confused." Jess said.
"You say that every five minutes!" Amanda said grumpily.
"Well it's true!" She argued.
"Oh, come on, we're stuck on a plane for five more hours! Just sit back, get along, relax, and-" I was cut off by the plane shaking violently, and the loudspeaker crackling.
"We've hit a little turbulence, guys. You're gonna have to be careful."
"Thanks Nico!" Willa and I yelled back at the same time. Nico was the pilot to our private jet. He was 5'4" of pure awesomeness. He may be 49, but he's young at heart.
I tuned back into the conversation Jess and Amanda were having.
"No! Jess, look. They go into the dreams, and-"
"WHY are they in the dreams? It makes absolutely no sense!"
"Jess, you're hopeless!"
"Ugh!"
I rolled my eyes.
Suddenly, we hit another burst of turbulence, and I heard a shriek.
"CHARLENE!" Willa yelled.
"Oh… I….sorry?" Charlene's glass of water had dumped onto Willa. Now, her hair and part of her shirt were drenched. We all were laughing (except Willa who looked pissed, and Charlene who had a hilarious mix of confusion, shock, and terror on her face.)
We got another burst of turbulence, this one a lot longer and more violent.
Then, in the middle of the shaking, we all felt a good sized thunk reverberate through the plane. We began to slope downwards.
Amanda and Charlene shrieked.
"Nico? NICO, ARE WE LANDING OR SOMETHING?" I yelled to the cockpit.
The loudspeaker crackled.
"NO! KIDS, BUCKLE UP! WE JUST LOST AN ENGINE, WE'RE GONNA CRASH!"
We looked at each other, fear in our eyes. We all ran to a chair to sit down and buckle up.
"We're gonna crash! I… oh god, I think I'm gonna hurl!" Willa yelled.
"PLEASE don't! I don't want that to be the last thing I see before I die!" Charlene yelled.
We sat in terrified silence, the plane dipping lower by the minute. All of us looked the same: our backs pressed against the seat, hands had a white-knuckle grip on the armrests, and faces looked terrified. The girls were crying. The guys were trying not to cry in front of the girls.
"WE'VE GOT TEN SECONDS!" the intercom blasted.
I looked at Amanda. My wonderful, amazing girlfriend. Was this the last time I'd see her?
Eight…seven…six…
"I love you." I said quickly.
"I love you, too. Always have."
Three… two… one…
I don't know what happened. The plane shook violently, accompanied by a horrible metal screech. My head slammed against something, everything went fuzzy. Then, everything was black.
….
So, there's the beginning. It's really short, so I'll be updating later today (probably).
You don't have to review yet, cuz it's short, but after next chapter, REVIEW!
