PRELUDE:

There was a group of young adults, 22-23 years of age, going to the movies after a freak accident. One of the girls, aged 22 years, was still particularly shaken, though all five of them were pretty freaked. "I-I still dunno how that happened..." Her best friend said shakily. She licked her lips with a gulp. "What if this is like the Final Destination movies?" She asked weakly. Her friends all looked at her like 'are you kidding me?' She shook her head and wrang her hands. "Think about it, guys! We're on a perfectly harmless trip, doing something fun. I see a vision and... and it happens and only a handful of us survived." The girl's best friend's face turned sour. "Don't even joke like that, Hailey!" She hissed. Hailey bit her lip to silence herself, mentally reminding herself, She is grieving, just lost her man... She sighed but dropped it.

THE FREAK ACCIDENT:

Hailey, Douglas, Danielle, Sarah, Veronica, Valerie, Hayley, Nicole, and Lawrence were all going to a concert together. They all had different musical tastes, but luckily there was a little bit of everybody's likes in this concert. Hailey's favorite singers were going to sing, as were Douglas' and Danielle's, while all the others just had artists they liked. Hailey sat in her spot, leaning back with a lazy grin on her lips. "This is going to be awesome!" Danielle said to Douglas, leaning into his side, stoked. Douglas smirked and held her closer. "Of course it will be. We are together." Hailey rolled her eyes but didn't say anything as she turned to her other friends. Hayley and Nicole were chatting with each other while Veronica and Valerie were getting to know each other. So strangely enough, amidst a group of her friends, Hailey was the odd one out. She sighed but turned back to the concert, which was soon to start. One could tell by the excitement in the air and the dimming of the lights.

"Hey, Hai, what's the plan after the concert?" Danielle asked, leaning away from her husband to speak to her friend. Hailey thought about it but simply shrugged. "I dunno. I thought we agreed on Final Destination 6." Danielle smiled a little guiltily before glancing over at Douglas. "Is it okay if we deck out after the concert?" Hailey narrowed her eyes irritably but shrugged her shoulders. "Okay..." She said simply before turning back to the concert that wasn't quite starting yet.

Danielle turned to Douglas and rolled her eyes. "Don't worry about her. She was just excited to watch a group of people dying." Hailey made a face at how her friend just worded that but didn't add anything more, especially since the first person was getting on stage to introduce the first band!

The band had started to play and everybody—everybody—was dancing to the music. Even Hailey, who would never be caught dead dancing in public, was dancing to the music. Danielle glanced over at her best friend from the arms of her lover. She smirked but snuggled in deeper to his arms. The lights turned red and a devil walked on the stage and started chanting something in a different language. Hailey and Danielle both knew this song and chanting was not part of it. They glanced at each other but shrugged it off as part of the concert addition to the song to make it more exciting. The devil's eyes started to glow red before stage-mist made it disappear and the whole room started to get covered in fog. People were choking all around the room before Douglas smelled something. He was sniffing the air before he asked, "Do you guys smell that?" Danielle and Hailey sniffed the air after him but shook their heads. "There's gas in that smoke!" He exclaimed. The girls' eyes went wide before they started getting the others' attention to leave the concert... but they couldn't find them!

Hailey and Danielle were scrambling to find the others but they could only find a few of them: Lawrence, who was next to Hailey the whole time, Veronica, and Sarah. They pulled on their wrists to pull them out of the room, but it was too late. An explosion rocked the room and blew them all to their knees. They ducked their heads as debris crash-landed all around them. Debris was falling from the ceiling like rain and the fog was closing in around them. They could barely see each other now. "Danielle, get Douglas and get out of here!" Hailey yelled, still trying to get her other friends. "I can't find him!" She said, barely audible over the sound of the screaming and people gasping for air. Hailey cursed under her breath as something fell down and crushed one of her friends—Hayley. Then another one fell and stabbed through Veronica. "Danielle, get out of here! I'll find as many people as I can! Maybe he already left!" But just as the final word came out, Danielle began to choke, and was soon dead of suffocation. Hailey was left alone, utterly unsure of where any of her other friends were. A man came out of nowhere, and then she saw Douglas. The man was headed for him and something was glinting in his hand. "Doug—" But it was too late. The man stabbed him in the gut... Then came the explosion. It took the remainder of her friends. Which left her there, alone.

A call came to her phone, which was her adopted mother, Susan. "Mama!" She gasped. "Baby, are you okay? You sound out of breath." "Mama, I don't have time to talk right now. Just know that I—" And before another word could come out of her lips, a huge chunk of debris swung down and smashed her.

Hailey jerked awake from the horrible nightmare. She blinked the fright from her eyes. "This is going to be awesome!" Danielle said to Douglas, leaning into his side, stoked. Douglas smirked and held her closer. "Of course it will be. We are together." Hailey rolled her eyes but didn't say anything as she turned to her other friends. Hayley and Nicole were chatting with each other while Veronica and Valerie were getting to know each other. So strangely enough, amidst a group of her friends, Hailey was the odd one out. She sighed but turned back to the concert, which was soon to start. One could tell by the excitement in the air and the dimming of the lights.

Danielle turned to her. "Hey, Hai, what's the plan after the concert?" Danielle asked, leaning away from her husband to speak to her friend. Hailey thought about it but didn't just simply shrug this time. She had a bad feeling in the back of her head that made her unable to be nonchalant about what just occurred. "I dunno. I thought we agreed on Final Destination 6..." She said carefully. Danielle smiled a little guiltily before glancing over at Douglas. "Is it okay if we deck out after the concert?" Hailey was breathing hard now and she glanced behind her at her other friends. Again, Veronica and Valerie were chatting while Nicole and Hayley talked. She swallowed hard. Danielle turned to Douglas and rolled her eyes. "Don't worry about her. She was just excited to watch a group of people dying." Hailey made a face at how her friend just worded that but didn't add anything more, especially since the first person was getting on stage to introduce the first band... This was all happening again... the way Danielle worded things... the questions, the pairings... "Guys, I can't watch this..." She said hoarsely. "But it's your favorite band first!" Danielle said with a grin. "Your favorite song! I heard they are going to play it." Hailey shook her head. "I think we are all going to die..." She said harshly. Danielle shot her a look. "Why would you say something like that, Hailey? I know that everybody else is paired off and you're not really chatting with anybody, but this is your favorite band; you should be enjoying the music anyway! Besides, I'm always here." "You won't be if we don't get the fuck out of here." Hailey's voice and breath was shaking uneasily.

"Hailey, calm down!" Danielle said, frowning with concern. Hailey shook her head. "I'm getting the hell out of here!" Just as the first song started, the fateful song (which ironically enough, was called "Fate is Destiny"), she decked out and only a small group of her friends followed her. The bouncer of the building followed her, making sure she wasn't smuggling anything with her, as did a random man. When she was far enough from the building, she shakily said, "It's just like the Final Destination movies... I saw everything in there die... and, and..." She took a deep breath. And just as she was about to start speaking, smoke started to billow out of the building. "No!" She yelped, diving for the building, but the bouncer held her back, shaking his head. "Sorry, ma'am, but you are obviously on something, so I cannot let you back into that concert." "Sir, I'm sure she's just—" Then came the sound of crumbling, soon followed by an explosion. Lawrence, Veronica, and Nicole barely ducked out of the building as it collapsed into itself.
