Beware of Death's Plan
Chapter One: "In Flames you Burn"
"Good Bye Mr. Martin!" Rob said to Liz's father as he closed the trunk of his grey mustang after tossing the last of her luggage inside. He was planning on going to his parent's cabin with the two women in his life, Liz and Victoria. They had been planning on going for weeks now to celebrate their senior year and took advantage of spring break to go. Rob entered the driver's seat of his car and pulled out if Liz's Driveway and headed to Highway 81, which led out of town.
Victoria, who was sitting in the backseat wearing her shoulder length red and black hair in a ponytail, reached over Liz, who sat in the passenger's seat, to the radio and turned it on. "How To Save a Life" by The Fray came on. The songs information was displayed on the small screen. "Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend…" Liz and Victoria sang along until the song abruptly cut off. "What's wrong with your radio Rob?" Liz asked pushing the other preset buttons when no music came on. "Whatever, We don't need music to enjoy this trip." She replied, giving up and then turning the radio off. A White SUV appeared next to them and honked to get their attention. It Was Chris Peralta, The star basketball player at his High school, and a couple of the people in his clique. "Ugh, I Hate Jocks. Just let them pass us" Victoria said in disgust. Rob slowed down as Chris accelerated and honked a few times as he went ahead of them. "Hey Rob can we go to the store or something? I doubt a six pack of beer will last us a week." Liz asked. " I Thought you were trying to cut back on the drinking" Rob stated. "Just because I'm trying to cut down on my booze intake doesn't mean I'm going cold turkey." Liz said.
"I'm cool as long as we have enough cigarettes" Victoria said looking over Rob's shoulder. "You did get cigars didn't you?"
"How about we pull into a gas station?" Rob said slightly laughing in hesitation. "I thought so." Victoria smiled after getting what she wanted.
Suddenly, the radio turned back on playing an entirely different tune. "Oh God Forbid this bloody war I see my knights falling one by one so here I am, in this fight I'm all alone. I'm stuck here in this hellhole on my own. Taste the blood, tears of pain Memories from the past strike through my mind" The Song played causing the three friends to look at it quizzically. "In Flames you Burn" by Dream Evil appeared on the small screen. " Weird." Victoria stated as she reached over her two friends to turn the radio off.
"Look, Next gas stop in a mile" Liz said as she pointed at a sign on the side of the road. Rob edged to the side of the and left the highway on exit 180.
He saw Bludworth Gas Station and pulled up to the front of the store and exited the car. When he walked in, he noticed that the store was practically empty except for the cashier and a few customers, one of which, who was Chris. "What're you doing here, Winters?" Chris asked handing the cashier two six packs since this was the only station in town that would serve minors. "You Stalking me or something?"
"Trust me, Not everyone is in love with you, Chris. You have to get over yourself." Rob said as he got in line behind a redhead wearing skinny jeans and a band tee after grabbing a couple six packs himself.
"Whatever Freak." Chris said handing the cashier a twenty.
He exited the store and wasn't even two steps away from the doors when a gas trailer screeched into the station. It smashed into a red truck with a brunette female inside and slammed her against the window, covering the windshield with blood. The truck pushed the red truck and pinned a guy with Golden blonde hair who was pumping gas into the car in between the car and the pump. Within a second, he doubled over and blood dripped from his mouth.
A shard of metal from the grey car cut into the side of the gas tank on the back of the trailer and caused gas to spread everywhere. A cigarette fell from the hand of the driver of the gas trailer and landed into the gas and followed a trail to a blue prius where two teenagers waited inside. The car erupted into flames and the two frantically tried to escape the car but were unable to open the doors that relocked after they unlocked them. Slowly but surely they both burned in the flames as the fire continued to spread across the gas station, surrounding it in flames.
"Paige!! Trent!!" The Redhead yelled at the blue prius as she headed for the doors of the store to go out into the chaos but Rob grabbed her in time. Chris's friends exited his SUV and ran towards the store at an attempt to save themselves from the flames. The roof began to fall and hit Pierre, one of the his friends, on the head and split his skull wide open. A cheerleader, Paula, stayed by Pierre's side and tried to help drag him to the store in a hopeless attempt to save him. A car trying to escape mayhem headed straight for her and ran her over without slowing down, killing her on the spot. The car continued to go and hit the other jock, Takbir, who was trying to get to the store. He was still alive but wasn't able to get up on time to escape the flames that headed in his direction and was burned on the spot. Liz, who watched in horror as everyone died, jumped out of Rob's mustang and headed for the store only to be completely crushed by a piece of the roof that fell towards the ground.
Chris, trying to get somewhere safe, ran into Rob's car and tried to turn on the car only to realize that Rob had taken the keys with him. He attempted to open the door but was in shock when he found it locked. Victoria jumped to the Front seat and kicked the glass but was unsuccessful to survive when the flames reached the car and lit the gas tank beneath them. The tank exploded, Killing Victoria and Chris almost immediately.
A large shard of glass flew towards the redhead in his arms and impaled her, killing her in seconds.
The Blast of his car exploding threw Rob back into the air and he Hit the back wall, fracturing his spine completely as he blacked out.
Rob blinked frantically as he stared at Chris and his friends in the other car. "Ugh, I Hate Jocks. Just let them-"
Victoria started to say when Rob finished her sentence. "Pass us.. No!" Rob mumbles as he slowed down and Chris continued, honking his horn a few times. "Hey Rob can we go to the store or-" Liz started to ask before Rob Pushed the gas and tried to catch up to Chris.
"What're you doing?" Victoria asked as Rob caught up to Chris's SUV.
"Saving us all!" He yelled as he slammed his car into Chris's, causing it to spin as Chris was getting off on exit 180, partially blocking the road in the process. "Rob are you insane?" Liz asked as Chris's car came to a stop. Their accident had caused a truck ahead of them to stop and another car behind them to pull over to see if anyone was injured.
Chris got out of his SUV and ran to Rob's car, opening the door and pulling him out. "What the hell is your problem?" Chris yelled as he threw Rob against his mustang.
The Radio in Rob's Car turned on and began to play the song from before in his vision and confirmed that his vision was going to come true.
"Is everything okay Roy?" The female from the red truck asked her boyfriend and Rob Recognized them as the first to go in his vision. "Just stay in the truck Helen" He told her as he approached them and she returned to the truck.
"What's going on?" A Guy asked them from behind their car as he got out of his….Blue Prius! "Trent?" Rob asked the guy who nodded in agreement confirming his identity. He then saw the redhead from his vision in the backseat of the car getting out as well. "I Just saved your freaking lives!" Rob yelled to everyone. He then saw the Gas trailer from his vision swerve around their accident and continue towards the gas station down the road.
"That's It!" Rob Exclaimed. " That's the truck that was going to kill us!"
"Calm Down, Rob." Liz said approaching him slowly.
"Why Won't you listen to me?" Rob shouted one last time as the screeching of the trailer's tires drowned him out. Everyone's head turned towards Bludworth Gas Station as the Trailer exploded killing the other people at the stop. Silence fell over the group as the only noises were the explosions and the song that continues to play in Rob's mustang. " Deadly wounds can't stop me now, I still stand strong I Just Can't die!! Surrender is no option for me now bless those souls that I send to hell if you dare just look into my eyes my steel is warm my face is stained with blood, One by one I hit them to the ground, One by one I see their heads roll Anyone against me taste my sword, Anyone who'll challenge me will die!" Just then another explosion sent a projectile flying into the air and straight towards Roy's Red Truck.
"Helen!" Roy yelled as he ran towards his truck. Rob Followed close behind even though he knew what he would find. Helen sat in the passenger seat of Roy's truck with Blood running down the side of her mouth. The windshield in front of her was gone and pieces of glass surrounded her. Then he laid my eyes upon what killed her. There was a motor from a car down at the gas station lodged in her stomach, cutting her in half. Rob couldn't believe it but his vision had come true and even though he had managed to save the people he saw die, he wasn't able to save Helen. But without his knowledge, Rob had pissed Death off and he had just collected his first victim.
