Chapter One
Annabel Tomas starred outside the window of the green Sunfire car that had seen better days. Annabel was fourteen and rather tall for her age; her black hair fell down her back and curled at the ends. Her skin was pale and made her blue, almost violet eyes stand out from beneath her black hair.
Annabel sat beside her brother, whom was one year older, then she. His name was Randy and he was almost the spitting image of their father. Annabel wasn't sure which one of her parents she looked like the most but Randy for definitely looked like their father. Randy's hair was dirty blonde, which fell in bushy tangles atop his head. His eyes were brown and they were brought out by his hair; his skin was tan, since he hung out at the beach a lot. Annabel was more of an inside person, and she knew it; the lack of outside ventures were to thank for her pale skin.
Beside Randy was his girlfriend of almost a year, Cassandra or Cassie for short. Or, to Annabel, she was Cici due to her last name: Conner. Cassie hated being called Cici, which is one of the reasons Annabel called her Cici. It wasn't like Annabel disliked Cassie, not that much, but Cassie was always around and was almost like a "part of the family". Annabel had taken great pride in being the only girl of the family, out of three older brothers and when Cassie began dating Randy she fit right in with the Tomas family. Annabel's mother, Courtnee Tomas, always held Cassie up as a role model for Annabel. "Why can't you be more like Cassie? She's such a nice girl; she's got lots of friends and makes good grades. Why can't you be more like her?" Her mother would constantly say.
It wasn't that Annabel was a bad student or lacked in friends but she wasn't popular or an honor student at the high school she attended. Cassie was a cheerleader; Annabel wasn't the cheering type. Cassie came from a wealthy family; Annabel's family was middle-class. The fact that they were middle-class was often left out of the "be more like Cassie" discussions but it wasn't a fact that Annabel overlooked. That was the main reason that Cassie was so popular; her father was mayor of the city that Annabel and her family lived in: Pasadena. Before Cassie and her family moved to Pasadena, they lived in Washington D.C. and her parents were both very rich and respected people. Cassie had been born into wealth, while Annabel had been born into a middle class family. Annabel knew that Cassie's wealth had helped her popularity at Pasadena High School -where Annabel, Randy, Cassie and her second oldest brother attended school. Cassie was always flocked by friends and was always teachers pet.
Annabel, however, had only one close friend and she sat in the front seat of the car. Annabel's friend was named Sara; Sara was the same age as Annabel, they were born in the same month and always shared their birthday parties, which only including Annabel's brothers and Sara's sister. Sara had black hair which she had streaked red; Sara's hair was not naturally black, she had dyed it herself when she was nine. Sara's mother, Abby, drove the car that everyone was traveling in.
Annabel, Sara, Randy and Cassie were all headed to Pasadena Airport, which was the smallest airport (as far as Annabel knew) in California. It was Spring Break and they were going to make good use of their off time by heading to Long Island to visit Annabel and Randy's relatives, their aunt and uncle. Cassie and Sara had also been invited; Annabel's aunt had nearly begged Annabel and Randy to bring friends. "It would be wonderful if you both brought friends. The house is so quiet, it would be good to get some noise in here for once." Her aunt had said, a little bit of sadness in her voice. A year ago, their only son -and Annabel and Randy's cousin- Alex had been killed in a freak accident. He was electrocuted in order to save his girlfriend, Clear. Until around five months ago, Clear had visited Alex's parents everyday and lived there for a while. However, Clear had recently admitted herself into a psychiatric ward because she began to believe her mental health was deteriorating as the one-year anniversary of Alex's death began to roll around.
Both Annabel and Randy were more then happy to bring along a friend because there was almost nothing to do in the town that they would spend their spring break in. Sara's mom had volunteered to drive to four to Pasadena Airport because Annabel and Randy's parents were busy dealing with Annabel's other brothers: Billy and Derek. Derek was two years older then Annabel; Billy was attending a local college. Both Billy and Derek had important ceremony-type-things (Annabel wasn't even sure what they were) so her parents were attending those instead of seeing their youngest children off. Annabel didn't really mind, she wasn't excited about going to Long Island but she also wasn't looking for to spending a few weeks in Pasadena.
The drive to the airport took only around an hour, traffic wasn't too bad. The airport parking lot was nearly covered with cars; there was a large backup in front of them, cars were honking and their drivers were yelling. Airport employees were making their way from car to car, apologizing for the large backup and giving an estimated delay time. When one of the employees stopped at the car, everyone inside hushed and listened to what the woman said to Sara's mother.
"Hello, thank you for choosing Pasadena Airport. We're sorry about the large delay; the estimated backup time is no more then two hours. We're sorry if this is a difficulty in your flight plans." The employee said.
"Two hours!" Sara's mother cried. "Of course that's a 'difficulty' in our plans! We're supposed to catch a flight in twenty minutes, what are we supposed to do?" Her mother cried.
"We're sorry ma'am, this can't be helped." The employee said, she looked distressed by Sara's mother's outburst.
Annabel rolled down her window and stuck her head out, trying to see what the delay was. Annabel frowned when she couldn't see anything; she groaned as she braced herself on the edge of the windowsill and stretched herself out farther. Annabel was now halfway out of the car; she still couldn't really see anything.
"Annabel! Be careful; don't do that." Randy said and pulled his sister back inside the car.
Annabel frowned as she looked at her brother. "I was just fine." She muttered and leaned forward to talk to Sara.
"I wonder what's going on." Sara muttered as they both listened to her mother yell at the employee some more.
"Excuse me." Annabel said, looking over at the employee. "Why is there was delay?" She asked.
"We're not exactly sure, there is a problem with the overhang however but you can be assured our builders will have it fixed." The employee said.
"In two hours!" Sara's mother yelled. The employee hurriedly moved to another car.
Annabel sighed and leaned back in her seat; if they were going to have to wait for two hours she was going to take a nap. Annabel hadn't gotten too much sleep last night since Sara had stayed the night; they had stayed up all night watching movies and gossiping.
Annabel closed her eyes and almost instantly fell asleep.
Annabel felt the car begin to move; she felt the soothing vibrations that the moving car made. However, the vibrations were jumpy and uneven.
"Stupid car, I knew I should have had it fixed. The engine is acting up again." Sara's mother said as she shifted gears.
Good, they got the delay fixed, Annabel thought, have I been asleep for two hours? Annabel opened her eyes and looked outside and saw other cars moving and employees headed back inside the building.
"On the plane, we're sitting together, right Randy." Annabel could hear Cassie say.
"Yeah." Randy answered. Annabel frowned and shook her head; Cassie was always concerned about being around Randy. She was like a dog, wouldn't leave him for a second.
"Annie and I are sitting together, right." Sara said, using her friend's most hated nickname.
"Don't call me that." Annabel spat, almost unaware that it was her who spoke.
"Yeah, I made it so that everyone would sit by everyone. Happy now?" Randy asked, he had arranged the tickets and flight time so it was up to him to answer their questions.
"Are we going to be late?" Cassie asked Sara's mother, trying to peer around the seat in front of her to see the digital clock.
"No, it didn't take two hours after all. Thank goodness you kids aren't going to miss your flight." Sara's mother answered, laughing like there was some large joke that everyone else missed.
The car drove toward the overhang along with the other cars that had drivers whom had to catch flights. Annabel looked out the window and peered at the car beside them. There was a five-year-old boy sitting in the backseat clutching a stuffed tiger; he met Annabel's gaze and looked at her with the wide-eyed ness of a five-year old. Annabel tried to smile at the boy but couldn't bring herself to do so. Annabel turned away from the child's gaze, a shuddering running down her spine.
The car entered the over-hang; Cassie and Randy were talking about what they were going to do in Long Island and Sara was saying something to Annabel but Annabel wasn't listening. She had a strong feeling of unease that she couldn't shake; Annabel suddenly became fidgety and extremely uneasy and close to opening to car door and exiting.
Suddenly the car came to a dead stop; Sara's mother pressed her foot down on the gas and shifted gears. "Damnit! Stupid car!" Sara's mother cried and began bagging the steering wheel.
The overhang above them began to rumble and make grating noises; Annabel's stomach did a flip as she peered upward, though she was only looking at the car ceiling. "What's that noise?" She whispered, her voice was shaking.
Everyone else seemed to take notice once Annabel spoke. "I'm not sure." Sara's mother said, she didn't sound as worried as Annabel had.
Before anyone could say anything else, airport employees and men dressed for construction work ran past the cars that were under the overhang. They were yelling things that were inaudible to those in the car. However, Annabel was sure she knew what they were saying.
"The overhang's going to collapse." Annabel whispered more to herself then those in the car.
"We have to go, now! Make the car drive Mrs. Addison." Annabel said, leaning for and speaking to Sara's mother.
"What's wrong Annabel? I'm trying to make the car move but it just won't. Just a minute." Mrs. Addison said, hardly paying attention to Annabel's pleas.
"No, Mrs. Addison we have to go now. Make it go!" Annabel cried.
"Annabel, what's your problem?" Sara said, looking over at her friend.
"Annabel chill out, what's wrong?" Randy asked.
Before Annabel could answer or anyone could say anything else there was a large crashing/breaking sound unlike anything Annabel had ever heard before. The overhang had collapsed; the heavy concrete blocks began to rain down on the cars under the overhang.
Before the blocks hit the car Annabel and the others were, she watched the blocks fall upon other cars, crushing those instead. Several of the blocks hit the car with the five-year-old boy inside, crushing him and his mother.
The blocks rained down upon the car, hitting the front and the back. One of the blocks killed Sara and her mother instantly; Annabel's legs became crushed and imprisoned under the huge slab. Annabel found herself staring down at the mutilated corpse of her best friend. Sara's head had been split open; her blood covered the slab and leaked onto Annabel's clothes.
Another slab fell onto the car, hitting the very front and exploding the engine. Annabel, Randy and Cassie were engulfed in flames as another, some what smaller slab fell onto Cassie. The slab crushed her; Annabel could hear the snapping of her bones and felt blood fall onto her. The flames consumed the car and Annabel and her brother were burned to death before the car finally exploded.
