Chapter 1: The Premonition
The time was six o'clock as Madison Campbell got ready to go to the school for the prom. She was so excited because she was going with her boyfriend, Chase, and would meet their friends there at the school. Her mom, Sarah, walked in and saw her getting dressed into her blue satin dress which had silver beads going up the side, around to the front and zipped in the back. She turned around and saw her mom and smiled.
"Hey mom. Could you zip me up, please?"
"Sure, honey."
Her mom walked over and zipped up her dress for her as Madison turned around to show her how she looked.
"You look so beautiful, sweetie. I'm so proud of you. You make sure you have plenty of fun tonight, okay?"
"I will, mom. Thanks."
Madison smiled as she hugged her mom and slipped on her matching high-heel shoes. The doorbell rung as Sarah walked downstairs and saw through the glass that it was Chase. She smiled as she opened the door for him.
"Hi, Chase."
"Hi, Mrs. Campbell. Is Madison ready?"
"Yes she is. I'll go get her for you. Come on in."
"Thanks."
He smiled as she let him inside and shut the door. She then walked upstairs and knocked on Madison's door. Madison looked up and smiled.
"Chase is here."
"Oh, good."
She grabs her small pocketbook and heads downstairs where she saw Chase waiting by the door. He looked up when he saw her coming down and smiled the biggest smile.
"Wow, you look…beautiful."
"Thanks. So do you."
"Alright, picture time!", her mom calls out.
"Mom! No, please."
"Aw, come on. This may be the last time I ever get to see you looking this pretty."
"Alright."
Madison wrapped her arm around Chase's waist as he did the same to her and smiled for the camera as the flash went off.
"Thank you, sweetie. You have made a mom so happy."
"I'm glad."
Madison chuckles some as she turns to Chase.
"We should get going. Prom starts in an hour."
"Yeah. We'll be back as soon as it's over, Mrs. Campbell."
"Nonsense. It's Prom night. You kids stay out as long as you'd like. It's your night, celebrate it."
"Wow, thanks, mom."
She walked over and hugged Sarah one last time before walking out the door to Chase's car. Chase waved to Sarah and walked out after Madison to the car. Once he reached the car, he opened the door for her so that she could get in.
"Thank you."
"You're most welcome."
He then walked around to the driver's side and got in, starting up the car and drove to the venue where the Prom was held.
Once they arrived, they saw their friends, Scott, Lauren and Brendan. Madison smiles as Chase walks around to her side and opens her door, letting her out. They then link arms and walk inside, hearing the music blast all around the place. Food was set up across the room from the DJ system. Decorations hung from the ceiling all over the venue. Madison had never seen nothing so beautiful in her life.
Brendan, Madison's good friend, walked over to her and smiled.
"Hey Maddie. Glad you could make it."
"You know I wouldn't miss the Prom for nothing."
Lauren, another good friend of Madison's, walked over and tried to push Brendan out of the way so that she could talk to her.
"Hey! Watch it. I was here first."
"Would you guys knock it off?", Chase asked as he walked over to them. "Why do you two hate each other?"
"I just can't stand him."
"And I can't stand her."
Madison shook her head as she looked at the both of them.
"Let's put our differences aside and try to have a little fun, alright?"
"Sorry.", the both of them said simultaneously.
They all walked out to the dance floor and began dancing. A slow song then came on as Chase, Madison, Scott and Lauren began slow dancing. Brendan sat on the sidelines and watched, considering that he didn't have a girlfriend. He didn't mind not having one. He was pretty much a loner anyway, except for having a few friends. As soon as the song was over, they went their separate ways. Madison walked over to Brendan and sat down next to him, followed by Chase.
"Sorry you had to sit out. You could've joined us."
"It's okay. Nah, I'd rather you two have your time together."
"Aw, thanks."
"Yeah, thanks, man. You're a real good friend."
"I try to be."
Brendan smiles a sly smile as he looks around the room.
Chase looks at Madison.
"I'm gonna go get some punch. You guys want anything?"
"I'm good, babe. Thanks."
"No thanks."
Chase smiled as he walked over to the food table, grabbing a cup and filled it halfway with punch, then walks back over and sits down next to Madison and Brendan, sipping on the drink.
"Having fun so far?", Brendan asked as he looked back at Madison.
"Yep, you?"
"Tons. Best night I've had in…forever.", he laughed.
"That's good. I know we haven't hung out in a long while and I'm sorry about that but I promise we will soon."
"Oh, no problem. I've been researching some colleges I want to go to after I graduate"
"Nice. Any in particular?"
"Stanford, Harvard, and Yale."
"What do you plan to study?"
"Medical."
"Oh, cool."
She smiled as she looked at Brendan, then back at Chase.
"Speaking of colleges, have you been looking?"
Chase looks at Madison.
"Yeah, I've been searching for a few."
"Good. I don't want you to get behind."
"You're starting to sound like my mom."
Madison laughs as she playfully hits Chase on the arm.
"Ow!"
He began rubbing the spot where she hit him.
"I'm gonna go get some food so you don't hit me again. Want anything?"
"Nope, still good."
"Alright."
Chase stood up and walked back over to the food table and grabbed a few chips and began snacking on them. Madison then looked at all the people dancing and glanced over at the DJ system. Something seemed way off to her. Madison then felt what seemed like a cold breeze blow by her, but the AC wasn't turned up. She looked at Brendan.
"Did you just feel something, like a cool breeze, blow by?"
"No, why?"
"No reason."
She turned back at the dance floor and continued watchng the people dance. All of a sudden, she heard someone scream. She stood up automatically as if someone had put a rocket under her and began searching the place for Chase, but he was nowhere to be found. Madison started to panic. She then saw flames emerging from the DJ system.
"Oh, my God! The DJ system's on fire!"
She grabbed Brendan's hand and ran towards the dance floor, still searching for Chase.
"Chase! Where are you?"
"Madison!"
Chase was on the other side of the room, near the DJ system, which was now full ablaze. She was afraid he'd catch on fire. Madison ran with Brendan and grabbed Chase's hand and led him away from the system.
"We need to find Lauren and Scott!"
"Lauren! Scott!", Chase called out as they ran through the building. The fire then soon caused the building to begin crashing down, sending the roof tiles down on several people, blood splattering the walls and floor. Madison then saw Lauren leaning on the wall, talking to some guy.
"Lauren! Let's go!"
"I'm not leaving…"
Just then, a piece of ceiling tile fell on top of her, crushing her, flattening her like a pancake. Blood splattered out of her mouth as she laid there, motionless.
"LAUREN!"
Madison screamed at the top of her lungs as she then ran towards the door. On her way there, she saw Scott.
"Scott! Don't go over there. You won't like what you see."
"What?"
Scott looked over and saw Lauren's arm sticking out from under the tile.
"Oh, my..Lauren!"
Scott ran over to her as Madison watched and shook her head. She warned him. Just then, one of the records from the DJ stand flew across the room and impaled Scott in the stomach. Madison covered her mouth in horror as she watched Scott fall to the floor. She looked all around her as people laid dying, blood strewn everywhere. She then looked to see where Brendan was. Madison saw him standing a few feet from the burning DJ stand.
"Brendan!"
Brendan turned around and looked at Madison. She looked up and saw one of the lights dangling by a mere thread. She knew she had to save him but as soon as she began running after him, the light fell, crushing his skull to bits.
"BRENDAN! NO!"
Tears began coming down Madison's face as she stood there, witnessing the horrifying scene before her. Her best friend had just been killed by a stage light. She then began looking for Chase again. She then saw Chase near the exit and ran over to him.
"Chase! Everybody's dead! We've gotta get out of here before we end up like them."
"I know! I've been trying to get this door open but it won't budge."
Madison helps him with the door, trying to get it open but it still wouldn't open.
"Come on! Open!"
Just then, Chase pulled the bar off that was holding the door together. He held it in front of him and looked at it for a while, then began to toss it to the side, but misjudged the space between his body and the room, and jammed the bar into his abdomen. Chase began spitting up blood as he tried to call out Madison's name but his mouth was too full of blood to do so. Madison ran outside and looked behind her to see if he was following her, but only saw him falling to the floor with the bar halfway through his body.
"CHASE! Oh, my God! No!"
She immediately ran over to him and cradled him in her arms. Tears fell from her eyes as she looked down at him.
"I'm..sorry. I…love you…Maddie."
This was all he could get out as he slowly closed his eyes for the last time. Madison continued crying as she looked down at him.
"CHASE! Noooo. Please!"
She then heard a cracking noise as she looked up and saw one of the tiles above her fixing to fall. She screamed as she tile fell.
Madison's gaze went back to normal as she looked at Brendan, who was standing in front of her. She thought she heard him say something, so she asked him to repeat it.
"I said, I'm fixing to go get something to eat. Want anything?"
She knew that this was where her premonition started. She quickly stood up and grabbed Chase by the arms.
"No! Don't go over there! Please!"
"Why? I'm hungry."
"This..this place is going to crash. The DJ system's going to explode!"
"What? You are talking crazy, baby."
"No I'm not! Why won't you believe me?"
"Because, it's not going to happen. This is Prom. Nothing ever happens at Prom."
"But..I just saw it. Please, let's just leave, alright? I want to leave!"
"Okay, okay."
"We have to get Scott and Lauren too."
"Why do they have to leave?"
"Because they're involved in this too. Please, let's just all leave."
"Alright, alright."
Chase walked over to where Scott and Lauren were dancing. He told them what Madison had just told them. Nonetheless, they agreed to leave and headed towards their cars. Once everyone was outside, Madison heard the scream and looked back, seeing the DJ system beginning to flame up.
"Oh, my God! See! I told you!"
"What the hell?", exclaimed Scott as he watched everything unfold.
"What is going on, Madison?", Lauren asked as she looked at her.
Madison didn't know what to say as she watched the horror all over again. All those poor people were dying inside the building. It didn't take long for the whole building to come crashing down. The group decided to go to a local hang out and spend some time there, glad that they were still alive, thanks to Madison.
