Death, then Ninjas?
Jamie's pov
I hate planes. Why? Well lets see, for one you're up thousands of feet in the air blasting through the sky in a pressurized metal tube, the only thing keeping you airborne being several rockets and a couple of flimsy metal wings. Two the food sucks and there's nothing to do except sleep, if you can. And three, the last time I was on an airplane I died.
Now, hold on, I know what you're thinking. "If I died then how am I here now telling you this?" Well, I guess, technically, I didn't die, but I might has well have. At least to my world I was dead. Here's how my (and several others') lives were changed forever.
The plane had yet to take off and I was seriously contemplating just getting off and not going to Florida. My two best friends and I were going to Florida for an acting competition, plus a much needed family vacation. Well, my families' much needed vacation actually. I had just decided to drag them along for the competition so I saved up enough money to bring them with. We had tried to get everyone on the same plane but it turned out my family got booked on a different plane. However, now that I was actually on the plane I was seriously beginning to chicken out. I actually started to stand up but my best friend Amanda grabbed my wrist in her iron grip. I glared at her and sat back down. I couldn't have gotten away anyway. I had the window seat and both my best friends were sitting next to me, and they were not going to let me ruin their to Orlando, Florida. Yay, Disney World. Bah!
"Jamie stop acting like a child and sit still. We're not going to die." Sarah, my other best friend, said.
"Sarah's right, Jamie, you're overreacting" Said Amanda.
"Says you." I mutter. They just roll their eyes at me. I sit and sulk next to the window. "You two know I hate planes." As you can tell, I hated planes even before I died. I had been on one only once before and avoided planes ever since. If I went anywhere, it was in a car or on a boat. Admittedly you can't go many places like that when you live in Fairbanks, Alaska but I didn't care. I was Alaskan, born and raised, and I was proud of it. The only reason I was on a plane now was that the girls didn't want to take a month long road trip to get to Florida.
I knew that if I tried to sit still I would go crazy so I decided to deal with the plane ride like I deal with most things I find troublesome, I pulled out my seats tray table and promptly laid over it and slept. Amanda woke me up when the plane took off because your not allowed to have the table out at that time for some reason, but, as soon as the seat belt light went off, I was back in dream land, accept I didn't have dreams.
When I woke up next, it was to Sarah's screams and the violent shaking of the plane. I was about to shout at her that it was just turbulence but I froze when I saw outside my window.
The plane was surrounded by a maze of freaking twisters! Which was impossible because the plane was over the ocean and twisters can only form on land. I would understand a hurricane but twisters!? Really? This was obviously not natural.
Despite the fact that we were all probably gonna die and almost everyone else on the plane was panicking and freaking out, I was strangely calm. I mean, it's not like I'm not afraid to die. It's human instinct to have the fear of death. I don't know what I was thinking at that moment but I just pretty much accepted that I was going to die.
Now, that strange calmness didn't do anything against my irrational fear of falling, so, when the plane started to tear itself apart due to the severe winds pulling it in all directions, I latched onto Sarah and Amanda and started screaming and crying like a little girl.
As the plane continued to tear itself apart a strange light suddenly appeared in front of us. The wind tore our seatbelts off of us and we flew into the light which revealed itself to be, what appeared to be, the eye of the storm. Once inside, the wind suddenly dropped off and we were sent plummeting to the earth below. I saw the ground rushing to meet us and I had just enough time to wonder why we weren't over the ocean anymore and everything went black.
