FINAL DESTINATION 4

A red convertible pulled up to the "Clear Skies and Rivers" Mountain climbing registration.

"Hey Chris, what's up?" said Sienna. Obviously she already knew seeing as how she and her boyfriend Ty had masterminded the "Rock climbing weekend". The two of them were perfect for each other. Both were popular and athletic, and they had the same taste in…well, basically everything. Both of them were wild and adventurous, which had led to their idea of them and a bunch of friends going to the Rocky Mountains for a weekend bash.

"Ty, you've got to talk some sense into your girlfriend," laughed Ty's best friend Chris. "This better be good, I mean, come on, the Rockies? I'm telling ya, I really don't wanna kill myself by falling off this Mountain." Ty laughed as a pickup truck pulled up. Chris's girlfriend Kimberly Resnowe got out of the car with her younger brother Billy following behind.

"Aw crap…" muttered Chris. "Here comes the twerp…" He whispered to Kim, "Hey Kim, how come B-I-L-L-Y is here?"

Billy heard him. "I can spell you moron! And you whisper really loud! Just 'cause I'm thirteen doesn't mean that you're any better then me!"

Now, Ty didn't like Billy to much either, but he didn't want any arguments today. He hadn't paid four hundred bucks and spent two hours on the phone to screw today up. The seven of them had gotten the last spots in the forty person climb, and now that Billy was here, everything was messed up. "The both of you are acting like two year olds!" he yelled.

"Nuh, uh!" argued Billy.

Now it was Kim's turn to get mad, and she did so very well, flying into a rage at Billy in no time flat. "Shut it you pipsqueak! If dad hadn't stuck you with me all weekend, you would be in your room, on a stupid movie site, on the computer! If you don't close your mouthall weekend, I promise you that I will leave you here!"

Billy was pouting and starting to tear, so she walked away. "Listen guys, I am so sorry I had to bring the brat. My dad said that the only way I could come would be if he came along. Did I screw anything up?"

Sienna thought for a second and then said "Well, if someone doesn't show up, then we'll be ok. There's me and Ty, that's two, you and Billy, four, Chris, Jason, John, and Kitty. That'd be eight people."

Just then, two cars drove up. A mustang, which seated John and his brother Jason, and a Volkswagen BW in which the outcast of the group, Kitty Winters sat. Kitty was just… different from the rest of them. She wasn't a nerd, wasn't a Goth, She definitely wasn't a Jock (she hated them), and in fact, was the only one ofthem who was truly herself. She didn't try to impress anyone and she always spoke her mind. The two guys, John and Jason were twins, but you wouldn't know it. They were as different as night and day. John was dirty blond haired with green eyes and was the biggest jock you'll ever meet. Jason was light blond and blue eyed and was a huge nerd/geek. He was always worried about everything. On the flipside John was more casual, and just itched for someone to fight with. He loved action. John had been the first one to agree to the climbing trip, and he dragged along Jason everywhere. The seven of them (not including Billy) were all seniors at Rocky Mountain High. It was a small school in Burke, Colorado.

Jason got out of the car and said, "Geez… Hitchcock is so amazing…"

"Will you shut up, about Hitchcock already?" John looked at Sienna and muttered "He talked all about it the entire car trip. Annoying as hell." Kitty laughed and smiled at John, giggling. John looked her up and down, and smiled back at her. Then he nervously turned and walked away.

Sienna looked at her watch. "Ok people, we are officially late now, and we also have to try to get an extra spot for Billy, so hustle up!" She looked angry. They hustled. As they walked inside, they saw an electrician working on the sliding glass doors. He looked up at them, grumbled, and went back to work. They walked to the front desk, and saw a young man with dark brown hair sitting there, with his feet propped up on some magazines. They went up to him and asked for his supervisor.

"That would be me." the man replied. "What can I do ya for?" Ty checked his nametag. It read, Alex Carter.

Ty spoke up quickly, saying, "Ok, Mr. Carter, we're in a bit of a rut here, and could sure use some help. See, we have an extra person, and we need to know if we can get him in this… climbing… squad? Team? Group? Ok, I don't know what it's called, but it's the rock climbing thing this afternoon.

Mr. Carter laughed and said, "Alright, first off, it's called a rock climbing, "Expedition". It sounds cooler and more official that way. Second off, it's been cancelled."

"What?" exclaimed Sienna. "How can that be possible? We confirmed it this morning!"

The man sighed and said, "I'm really sorry guys, but some girl freaked out about an hour ago, yelling about how ten people were going to get killed by a rock fall. She kept going on about a premonition or a dream or something… Said she knew it was gonna happen. Ha. Freak…"

Just then, they saw a door fly open, and a girl came running out. "Get your hands off me, you creeps! I haven't… oh my god. You!" She stared at the nine of them. The 7 friends, the younger brother, and the supervisor.

She stood there, eyes wide, breathing hard, until three men ran out of the room she had just come from. "Where'd she… There she is!" They grabbed her and pulled her away.

She looked terrified and yelled, "Let me go! There are the nine others, exactly like I told you!"

The three men looked. Two of them stared for a second and then began pulling her back into the room, but the third, the one nearest the group, kept staring, and his mouth dropped open. "Holy Geez, it is them! Mark, she was telling the truth!"

The other guys rolled their eyes. "Rick don't be an idiot, they're probably her friends or something."

"Dude, don't accuse people of stuff. They won't like it." Said John. "Besides, we've never met her."

The girl was still freaking out, and said, "Look, just let me talk to them, and I'll shut up after that.

The guards thought about it. "Fine, you've got an hour, but make it quick."

A short while later… (In the investigation room)

"This is bogus!" yelled Chris. "So you're saying that you "dreamed" we're going to die and you think it's actually going to happen! You're mental!"

The girl, who they now knew to be named Kelly Hunt, said, "You don't have to believe me..."

"Good, I don't"

"...but if I remember correctly, Ty is next."

Ty snorted and said, "Bullshit…"

Kelly started to reply, "You know, you're a huge ass son of a …" but was cut off by screaming and yelling outside in the hallway. There was pandemonium out there.

The nine of them heard voices saying things like, "Oh my god!" "Check the rubble, are there any survivors?" and "unfrickinbelievable!" They all ran out to see what was happening.

"What's going on!" yelled Sienna over the noise. She felt a hand on her elbow and looked up to see who it was.

Surprisingly, it was Mr. Carter. "Follow me back to the room."

All ten went back where they had just come from. Alex looked up and said, "There's been an accident with a climbing group. Your… climbing group.

Kimmie broke in, saying "But if you cancelled it, how could something happen?"

Mr. Carter shifted uncomfortably,looked at the floor and muttered, "Well, when you nine came in here, we decided the other 32 people could go on out. But… there was a rock fall, and all thirty two are presumed dead.

"Geez…How the heck…" Ty stood near the back, flicking his penknife open and closed, open and closed.

Alex looked at each of them in turn, and finally settled on Kelly. "Ms. Hunt, you told us only ten people died."

"First off, you didn't believe me, and second off, you screwed with death's design."

"So?"

She sighed. "Haven't you ever heard of Flight 180? Or the accident on Rte. 23? Or the Devils Flight derailing? Club 180? My brother was killed after someone had a prem. Or, wait, how about Subway line 203? Or…"

"Ok we get the picture," said Alex. "What's the point?"

"The point, Mr. Carter, is that in all of those instances, someone had a premonition."

"You mean a dream."

"Call it what you want, but after their "dream" the accident always ended up happening."

"So? It's over. Let's just go home."

Kelly butted in again and said, "No, no, the freaky part is that after the accident, every single person to survive the accidents, died shortly after. I think this may be the same case."

"This is just bull crap!" yelled John.

"No it's not." Everyone looked to the corner, where the voice had come from. It was Jason, sitting there with his knees curled up to his chest, eyes watering."John, do you remember when Ty died?"

John nodded. "Yeah. So?"

Ty looked confused. "Wait, me?"

Jason shook his head and said, "No my best friend Ty Carpenter. A couple of years ago, he was killed in a car crash. He had been almost killed earlier that year in a subway wreck. Some guy had a premonition and saved him. Everyone that stayed away from the crash lived. For a while. Then every single one of them died. Except for one girl who managed to live for a couple of years. I don't know what happened to her…I hear she got married and had kids though."

"Hey, I've got one too!" said Billy. "At my old school, there was this teacher who ended up getting killed along with a bunch of high schoolers."

Alex looked at Kelly, thoughtful. Finally, he said, "Kelly, I'm gonna ask you one more time. Did you have anything to do with this accident?"

She stared at him, trembling. "I already said, No!" Her eyes were twinkling with tears. "Why won't you just believe me!" With that, she stormed out. The door slammed behind her.

Ty got up and cursed. "Dammit! Now she's gone!" He ran after her yelling, "Kelly, Kelly!" He saw her walk past the electrician, out the doors. He ran to the sliding doors and they slammed in his face.

Outside, Kelly got into her car, "Fine, if they won't believe me, I'll just let them go." She turned the key and looked up. Ty was banging on the doors to the facility, trying to get out. "Oh, now they want me to help. Well, too bad."

On the other side of the doors, the electrician looked at Ty and said, "Sorry, they'll be fixed in a second. I must have crossed some wires."

Everyone else was almost to the doors by this time. Ty sighed and looked back at Kelly, his eyes opening wide with horror as he watched the white van come speeding down the road.

He watched as the woman inside the van lost control.

He watched as the van slammed into Kelly's tiny Camero.

He watched as both cars flipped over and were consumed with flame.

He watched… when no one…came out.

"Holy shit!" yelled Chris. His mouth dropped open as he saw the flaming wreck.

Alex whispered, "Son of a…"

Billy started crying. Sienna was shaking.

The electrician, who had his back to the doors, said, "There we go, doors opening." The doors slid open. He turned around. "Oh my God!"

Ty dropped to his knees, eyes unblinking, still staring at the wreckage.

The only one to react, was Jason. He ran outside yelling, "Come on you guys! We have to help them!"

John looked down. "Jason, they're gone. Nobody could survive that."

Alex looked at all of them. "I think, we may have a problem here."
