Hey everyone!
This story will be based on the movie Final Destination 3 which is one of my favourite movies!
Enjoy ;)
Caterina Valentine's camera flashed brightly as she snapped a picture of her friends - Beckett Oliver, Jadelyn West and Andre Harris - as they were tossed about in the air along with several other students on the huge ride labelled as the 'High Dive'.
It was the graduation party for the seniors of Hollywood Arts High School, which was taking place at a fairground which visited LA every summer and was known for its unimaginable rides and other various attractions that tagged along with it.
Cat giggled as her best friend Jade screamed loudly as she was thrown back up into the air unexpectedly at top speed, before being dropped rapidly once again. Once they had hit the bottom, the barriers lifted and the three of them stepped off, their legs shaking beneath them.
As they made their way out of the ride, Cat looked back at the picture she had just taken on her small pink camera, giggling at her friends' terrified faces. But her giggle faded away as her eyes scanned the top of the ride which held the illuminated 'High Dive' sign. In her picture, the 'V' was not illuminated, so the sign read 'High Die'. She frowned and looked up at the ride in front of her and found that all letters were brightly lit.
Suddenly, she was tackled by Jade who had come running out of the ride, exhilerated by it. Cat giggled as her best friend rugby tackled her, almost making her fall over. Behind Jade, Beck and Andre were coming out of the ride. They caught up with the girls and they began walking away from the ride.
"Okay, we gotta go to the rollercoaster now. Our pass is for 9:15. If we miss that, we're standing in line for like a day and a half, and that's gonna kill me," Beck tells them as he swings an arm around Jade's shoulder after looking at his watch.
As they walked through the fairground, they caught up with their other friends - Tori Vega and Robbie Shapiro. "This place is amazing!" Robbie cried as he bounded over to them.
"Okay, it's not going to kill us if we get a deep fried snickers and a coke," Andre suggested as they passed one of the many fast food stands.
Jade snorted, "Before riding Devil's Flight? Yeah, that might kill you."
Beck chuckled, "C'mon babe, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger," he told her, kissing her hair.
As they walked past the largest rollercoaster in the fairground, Cat stopped and looked up at it. She jumped in fright as the car of seats sped past her at top speed, causing her red hair to blow into her face. She brushed it back and looked up at the towering ride, her heart pounding in her chest as she thought about having to ride it.
Cat caught up with her friends and sat down with them at a bench near one of the food stands. She placed her camera on the table and Robbie swiped it. He looked around and found two blonde girls approaching them. He chuckled and held the camera below the table as they walked past and snapped a picture up their skirts.
Tori rolled her eyes in disgust and nudged his shoulder as Cat reached across to retrieve the camera. She grabbed Robbie's arm and snatched the camera from him, snapping a picture right in his face, causing him to grimace as the flash blinded him.
"Table 38, your order's ready," a voice over the speaker called.
"That's us!" Beck and Andre stood up and walked over to the food stand to collect their food.
Jade looked around her, watching the other students mull around, doing their activities, before she frowned, "Tori? Why is your sister here?"
Tori frowned and followed Jade's gaze before groaning, "I told her not to come, she's not even a senior! I'm gonna go talk to her," she sighed, standing up.
"I'll come too! I want more pictures of everyone," Cat smiled, standing up and walking away with Tori.
Trina Vega was sitting with one of her friends, Molly, as they played one of the fairground games where the aim was to spray water into a plastic clown's mouth until the balloon on top of his head bursts.
"Oh my god, I'm winning!" Trina cried as she focused on her clown.
"Trina!" Tori called as she stood beside Cat over from her sister.
"Later, busy!" Trina cried, her eyes not moving from her clown.
Cat's eyes were focused on the stream of water spraying into the clown's mouth, and she jumped in fright as the balloon on it's head burst loudly before Trina let out a scream of "I won!"
The game owner sighed and reached behind him to find a prize to give to Trina. He decided on a giant inflatable palm tree. He chucked it at her before re-setting the game for the next round.
"Trina," Cat called, holding up her camera.
Trina grinned and posed with her giant palm tree. Cat giggled and snapped the photo as Tori rolled her eyes before walking back to the table.
After eating, the gang walked around the fairground some more, heading towards Devil's Flight. As they walked near the entrance, they passed an African American man in a tux and sparkly glasses who just appeared to be dancing for people's entertainment. He whooped as Andre jumped towards him and began dancing beside him. Tori cheered and jumped in, pointing to the sky as she danced with them. Cat giggled and snapped a picture of the moment.
On their way, Andre stopped at the test of strength game where the aim was to hit a button with the large hammer and try to get the weight to hit the bell which had a painted face on it. The gang cheered as he hit it again for the third time in a row, "Oh! Yeah, baby! That's three!" he whooped, doing a little victory dance to himself.
As he prepared himself to go for another shot, Cat kneeled down below and readied her camera to take a shot. Andre flung the hammer down onto the button and Cat snapped the picture as the weight flew up and hit the bell, causing it to fly off. Cat's eyes followed the bell through the air, before they snapped over to the ride in the background, which happened to be Devil's Flight. She gulped to herself as she looked at the gigantic prosthetic devil standing above the entrance. Andre whooped and dropped the hammer, dancing to himself again before walking over to the gang and high-fiving Beck.
They gang left the game and walked down the middle of the fairground up to the entrance of Devil's flight. As they approached it, a demonic voice spoke over the speakers, "You can run, but you cannot hide," it growled before laughing.
Cat gulped as she looked up at it again. Jade did the same, unsure if she really wanted to ride the enormous rollercoaster. Beck turned to his girlfriend and frowned at her nervous expression, "You're not afraid, are you?" he asked with a smile. Jade rolled her eyes in response as they stood in line.
Beck sighed and placed his hands on her waist, "Look, I know you. And I think that maybe you're nervous about this rollercoaster because they say that the real fear of these rides comes from the feeling of having no control, and we all know that Jade West likes to be in control," he whispered to her.
Jade looked into her boyfriend's hazel eyes and she felt calm instantly. She smiled softly at him and nodded, "Okay," she whispered back before pressing her lips to his. Beck smiled against her lips and kissed her back.
Slightly behind them in line was another senior, Sinjin Van Cleef. In his hand, he was holding a small video camera. He kneeled down behind Trina and Molly and chuckled, "Where you're standing right now, if you raise your hand and cup it, it'll look like you're holding the devil's balls."
Molly raised an eyebrow, "And I'd want to do that... why?"
"When else are you gonna see a dick that big?" he cried, pointing to the devil.
"I'm looking at one right now," Trina retorted before turning away as Sinjin laughed to himself.
As they walked through the line, Cat looked up at the devil as it spoke again.
"You may never return from Devil's Flight... Try not to scream"
Cat shook her head as she followed her friends into the entrance of the ride. She looked over and found a sign to her right, it read:
"No exit after turnstiles. I'll see you soon..."
Cat gulped and pushed through the metal turnstile, following everyone else inside.
No turning back now...
