Final Destination 4

Chapter One

A cold wind swept past Jennie Dreyer as she boarded the huge plane. Jennie hated planes. They made her feel claustrophobic. But she was looking forward to her holiday in Chicago. Jennie had never been to Chicago before; she hadn't even been to Illinois before. Jennie brushed her dark brunette hair behind her shoulder as she approached the planes entrance. Jennie looked a lot like her cousin Carrie Dreyer, who had perished one year ago on a rollercoaster in Pennsylvania. Jennie showed her passport and handed her ticket to the stewardess who was at the entrance of the plane.

"Row 34A please" the stewardess told Jennie.

"Thanks" replied Jennie in her kind voice.

Jennie made her way down the isles of seats that were filling up with people. Jennie sat on her blue seat next to the window. She examined the small television in front of her. It was showing a short video about how to exit the plane if it crashed. Jennie thought to herself about how unlikely it was to crash on a plane. Jennie's thoughts were cut short when her best friend Carly Barker jumped into the seat next to her. Carly had curly, shoulder length hair and bright blue eyes.

"You excited?" asked Carly.

"Yeah" said Jennie in a dull tone.

"Are you feeling Ok?"

"Yeah I am excited but I just don't like flying"

"You'll be fine" said Michael Baxter, Carly's boyfriend who was now on the seat next to Carly.

Michael rubbed his jet black hair. It was the darkest hair Jennie had ever seen. Carly wrapped her arms around Michael and began to kiss him. Jennie looked out of the window next to her. She starred at the runway which they would soon being speeding down and then soaring into the air. Jennie felt the seat in front of her rustle. Then a head popped up from the seat in front. It was Chad Mitchell, Michael's friend.

"Save it for the hotel, please" Chad joked about Carly and Michael.

Carly and Michael stopped kissing and looked at Chad. Chad was at an average height, he had ginger hair and freckles over his face.

"Are you jealous?" Carly giggled.

"Yeah that's why" said Chad sarcastically.

Carly laughed and turned back to Michael to carry on where they left off. Chad sat back in his seat as Nicola King joined him. Nicola and Chad were good friends. Nicola recently had red highlights put in her brunette hair. She slightly slid her glasses down nose as she began to speak.

"I can't wait" said Nicola excitedly.

"I know" replied Chad.

Behind Jennie, Brett Harper sat down. Brett had blonde hair and dark green eyes. Brett poked his head over the seats in front.

"You guys excited" Brett asked the group.

"Can't wait" replied Carly.

"Yeah" said Michael.

"What about you?" Brett asked Jennie.

"She doesn't like planes" said Carly.

"Nothing will happen, Jennie" said Brett in his kind voice.

"Thanks" said Jennie "And yeah I can't wait!"

Brett sat back down. He was joined by Wayne Buckland his best friend. Wayne had a hair colour very similar to Jennie's. His eyes were a light shade of grey. They shined in the light of the sun shooting though the small window. After another ten minutes of waiting the Captains voice came over the intercom telling the passengers to fasten their seatbelts. The stewardesses and stewards walked down the isles to their seats. The plane began to move slowly towards the runway. The plane began to move faster down the runway. Jennie grasped the handle. Carly reassuringly held Jennie's hand. Jennie gave Carly nervous smile.

"Everything will be fine" said Carly.

The plane was eventually speeding down the runway at one hundred miles per hour. Jennie grabbed Carly's hand tighter. Soon enough the plane was in the air and Jennie began to calm down. The unfasten seatbelt sign flashed up and the entire group aside from Jennie took off their seatbelts.

"Thank God I need a piss" said Michael, who stood up and ran to the bathroom.

"Jennie you can take the belt off now" said Chad who was again leaning over his seat.

"I'm not going anywhere" replied Jennie.

Chad smiled at Jennie and sat back in his seat. The Captains voice came through the intercom again telling the passengers that the entertainment was now on. Carly grabbed the control fastened to the arm of her seat and began flicking through the menu. Jennie glanced at the menu which had a few films on there. Carly put the control back in the arm of here seat.

"Not going to watch anything?" asked Jennie.

"The best thing they have there is Finding Nemo" said Carly angrily.

Jennie laughed at that remark. Michael sat back down in his seat next to Carly. The three of them talked for about twenty minutes. But they stopped talking when the plane began to shake. The seatbelt sign lit up and everyone put on their seat belts. The plane shook again and again and again. Then the shaking stopped. Suddenly the plane violently shook sending some bags flying out their compartments. Jennie grabbed Carly's hand again. Her face was paler than it had ever been before. The small lights began to flicker on and off as the plane shook. Then it all stopped.

"Sorry for the bad turbulence" said the Captains voice over the intercom. "There should be no turbulence from now until landing"

Jennie was breathing heavily. Carly looked at her.

"Are you alright?" Carly asked Jennie.

"Now I am" said Jennie nearly in tears.

Everyone in the plane eventually calmed down. Jennie's bag had landed next to Michael who picked it up and gave it to her. For the rest of the flight Jennie read not speaking until they had landed. Jennie put her book back in her bag and walked off with her friends. They exited the plane entered the busy Midway International Airport.

After collecting their luggage they made their way to the car hire. They all paid a part of the price to hire a Kia Sedona for two weeks. Brett hoped in the front of the car next to Jennie. Behind them were Chad and Nicola. Lastly right at the back were Carly, Michael and Wayne. They group had to put their suitcases on their laps due to the amount of space they had. And off they drove to Hotel Montaco.
