Oceanic flight 815

Chapter 1

Megan took off her navy blue coat and then she put it in the grey dirty box on the tape. Then she took of her huge golden earrings and her watch and put it in the box as well. She took her pass, ticket and phone out of her bag and placed it on top of the other things in the box than she went through the safety vault. An old security guard was watching her very closely from the chair he was sitting in by the wall a few meters away from her, watched every move she took. At the first impression he looked pretty angry, but then Megan realised he was just tired. After all, it was 07.15 in the morning. It would be unnatural not to be tired for anyone. When the security vault didn't respond with a warning beep did Megan take all her belongings and headed away through the door on the other side of the room.

Out there was a corridor swarming with peoples. Megan sneaked down at her ticket; it was gate B17 again, as it always was when she flew from Sydney to Los Angeles. Even if she had done it so many times now, fly, she still hated it. She started walking down the corridor and walked by all of the airport shops until she came to the place she'd looked for. Starbucks.

It was a pimply teenager who was standing in the counter when Megan arrived in to the shop. Or stand and stand, it looked like he had to make an effort to stand up. The shop were empty except for two Asian people who were sitting by a table reading a magazine in some language Megan didn't understood and a pilot who were standing by the bench with milk and sugar and watched the news on the TV that was placed in the ceiling.

"Good morning miss," the teenager said.

"Good morning" replied Megan.

"And how can I help you?" the teenager said again and choked a yawn.

"I'd like a normal black coffee please."

The teenager turned around and filled a paper mug with coffee and then he turned back to Megan.

"That will be 2.5 dollar then, please."

Megan put the money on the counter and took her coffee and walked towards the bench with milk. The pilot looked down from the TV when Megan got closer.

"Good morning" he said.

Megan smiled a little and replied:

"Good morning."

Then she opened the cover to her coffee and added some milk in it.

"So, where are you going?" The pilot said.

"Ehm, Los Angeles." Megan answered.

The pilot looked pretty good, he seemed to be in his thirty, well built but with a few pounds extra and he had a really friendly face.

"With what company?" The pilot seemed very eager now.

"Ehm…" Megan wondered why he wanted to know that but answered, "Oceanic Airlines".

"Haha!" The pilot started to laugh. "That's my plane!" He seemed very happy about it.

Megan thought that that was very cool but she had no idea what she would answer, so she just laughed and smiled.

"I'm Seth, by the way." The pilot said and held out his hand.

"Nice to meet you Seth, I'm Megan." Megan said and shook Seth's hand.

"Yeah, nice to meet you to Megan."

At that time a group of flight attendants and stewards went by. One of them waved at Seth, a sign that he needed to go.

"Okay I need to go now." Seth said and took his coffee of the counter.

Seth was almost at the exit when he turned around and said:

"Hey Megan, I promise to drive extra carefully this time. Just for you."

Megan laughed again and smiled. "Haha, that's good. Thank you." Then he turned around again and went away to the others.

Megan stood there for a while and watched the news on the TV then also she left the Starbucks. On the short time Megan had been in there it had come a lot more people out in the corridor. Megan hold her coffee and walked down the hall, she knew a place with an amazing wiew of the runway. But when she walked down in the corridor she heard her phone ring. She stopped and searched through her bag for it, when she had found it and held it up she saw the four letter who formed his name. The name Megan sometimes loved to see, and sometimes it made her paralysed with fear. This time were one of these. In a state of half panic she answered.

"Ryan? How are you? Are you okay? Why are you calling me now? What's happened?"

"Well hello to you to little sis." Ryan answered. "Tell me, are you answering all your calls like this? Or is it just me?"

Ryan had a very sarcastic voice, witch made Megan think that it maybe woudn't be life treatening.

"Ryan when you call me from the other side of earth only 20 hours before I'm home, it must be something that's so important that you can't wait to tell me." Even though Megan had a number of these calls before she could not help but shake on her voice. And that made her even more nervous.

Ryan becamed quiet a moment but then he took a breath and said:

"Just promise to not freak out now okay? Cause I kind of got an hartattack again."

Megan's whole world stopped. Why did that happened?

"What? Now again? But you've been feeling good for a while. Right?"

"Yeah, I know. But please Megan don't freak out now okay. I'm fine, okay? But."

"Why do you think I'm gonna freak out? And what did the doctors said? Did they said that you need the LAVD now? Cause you do Ryan. You need the LAVD, your heart are not strong enough to pump all your blood anymore."

"But we can't afford it Megan! You know how long time it can take for me to get well again! And if I get the LAVD, I need to be on hospital the whole time utntil I get a new heart. And who knews - it can take years!"

"Ryan, I'll fix it.. I can get the money. Damn it! I work on a bank, I'll rob it if I need to! I'll fix it. I'll promise. I'll promise if you promise to talk with the doctors. Your heart can't handle much more, and we've been talking about this a thousands times you can't be so…"

Megan had no time to finish her sentence before she went straight into a man. Both he and Megan fell to the ground. Megans coffee explode on the floor and all her stuff in her handbag flew out on the floor. And her phone slided over the floor a few meters away from them.

"Oh my god! I'm so so sorry!" Cryed Megan to the man and was stretching for her phone at the same time. "Ryan? Are you still there?"

"Yeah, of course I'm little sis. What happened?" Ryan sounded really happy about the situation Megan had happened in. And she couldn't help to hear him laugh.

"Hey Ryan, I need to go now. But just please, please, PLEASE, promise me that you talk to the doctors about to get the LAVD. You're my whole life. Okay?"

This time Ryan didn't hesita, he answered immediately. "Okay, I'll promise you. I will get the LAVD. But I'm so going to make you change your mind. You will think that give me the LAVD is the worst thing that ever happened to you. And by the way, what was is that you were going to tell me before this 'incident'?"

"I was going to say that you're an selfish kind of ass that's only thinking about you're self. "

Before Megan clicked the phone and turned her attention to the man she heard something like an beginning to "I love you" from Ryan.

She turned to the man who was wearing a black suit and seemd to be in his thirty. He had this incredibly green eyes, that kind of green eyes that Megan almost couldn't stop watching in them. And by some reason he didn't seem to be angry or upset in any way. He acctually seemed more happy about the situation then angry.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry!" Megan said again and started to look for a napkin to give to the man so that he could wipe up some of the coffee who had ended up on his shirt.

"No, it's just as much my fault." The man said and started to help Megan to collect all her belongings from her bag.

"I mean I really didn't see you. I didn't think of where I were going. I'm, I'm sorry."

"It's okay.. You did at least focus on something else, I didn't. I don't have any reason for this." The man said again and smiled at her. The smile enchanted her.

Megan finnally found a napkin that she gave to the man, who thankfully accepted it. Then they heard a voice in the speakers.

"PASSENGERS WITH OCEANIC AIRLINES FLIGHT 815 TO LAX, LOS ANGELES ARE FRIENDLY REQUESTED TO GO TO YOUR GATE NOW WHERE WE WILL RECIVE YOU."

"Well, I need to go now." Megan said. "But I'm really sorry for that." And pointed at his large coffee spot on his shirt.

"Well I'm sorry to. Anyway, it was nice to meet you stranger." Then the man turned around and continued to walk at the direction he were coming from. And Megan started to walk at the gate.

Megan was sitting on her place in the plane. On seat 30F and she were wishing that she had bougth a drink instead of coffee before. The plane were on its way to the runway and the light with "fasten seatbelts" started to light. Then she heard the voice of Seth in the speaker.

"My ladies and gentlemens this is you captain speaking. My name is Seth Norris and togheter with the navigation captain Amber Sparks, we are going to try to take you as carfully as we can to Los Angeles today. The trip will take about 14 hours and 25 minutes, cause we're expecting some winds but we'll hope that you will all get on well under this tour. We are now waiting on promission from the flightleader tower to fly away but before that you'll all need to see this movie about the security. I'll talk with you more later and thank you for choosing Oceanic Airlines."

Megan put on her seatbelt and watched the security movie. It was boring, she had seen it many times before so she wasn't so observant about it. Then the plane started to move towards the runway. Megan took a firm grip around the chair handle. She were nervous. And then the plane started to run faster, faster and faster. And suddenly ther were in the air. Megan could breath again, it hadn't been so scary this time as it use to be. Maybe the captain really was holding his promise – that he would drive extra carefully today. Maybe.

The plane had been up in the air for around seven hours now and even if Megan had plugged in her ipod and had the volume on the highest she could still hear the two people next to her arguing, witch they had done the two past hours. She took a deep breath and turned of the music, it woudn't work anyway she just needed to accept it. Then the first shake came. It's nothing Megan thought, just some turbulence. But then it came on more, a big one, and the guy next to Megan spilled out all his water in his lap. The lamp about to put on the seatbelts started to shine and the plane were shaking more and more. It was terribe and Megan was so scared. She had no idea of what she would do. The plane shook more and more and the sound from it were unbeareble. Then the yellow oxygen masks flew down from the ceiling and it broke out a hell in the cabin. It was cries and panic everywere. Megan put on the yellow mask but she almost couldn't breath anyway. Then one of the hatrack over the seates opened and a bag flied out and hit a man a few rowes before Megan, the man passed out and in a second there was blood everywhere. At that moment Megan decided to put her hands over the ears and close her eyes, 'how could this happened?' she thought. Suddenly there was a sound louder then anything Megan ever heard. And she felt how she was pulling backwards, by an enourmous power. She opened her eyes and saw that the whole back of the plane was gone. Gone down in the ocean under them. And in someway, somehow her safety belt got opened, and the power who were pulling her got it's arms around her and she was flying out of the aircraft. Towards the water. Megan screamed and screamed, but no one could hear her anyway. It felt like an eternity until she hit the water.
