Author's Note: Here's the first chapter, I hope you like it!
*Chapter One-Airplane*
It was a beautiful spring day with birds singing, and sun shining, and all was generally well with the world. Unfortunately, Xxenya wasn't able to appreciate this. She was indoors at Denver International Airport going through Security, and getting increasingly annoyed because it was taking _forever_. She sighed and tucked her golden-brown hair away from her face. She was really starting to get worried because her flight was due to leave in fourty-five minutes and she was just starting through the line.
Twenty-four minutes later, Xxenya finally got through Security. "It's about time I got through security!" she grumbled as she waited for the train to Terminal C. Fortunately, every thing else went smoothly, so she was able to get to the gate in time to catch her flight with eleven minutes to spare.The attendant at the gate checked her ticket, then let her board.
Once on the plane, Xxenya quickly found her seat and stowed her bag. She sat down, then started to read the book she had brought with her called "Arrows of the Queen" by Mercedes Lackey while everyone else boarded.
She was just getting to the good part when she heard one of the flight attendants say, "Good afternoon, and welcome aboard Air Tran flight 382 to Atlanta. Please refrain from using any cell phones, laptop computers or other portable electronic devices during takeoff as they may interfere with the plane's navigating equipment. Once the plane is in the air you may use certain Air Tran approved…………."
*Yeah yeah, I know the drill* Xxenya thought, and went back to her book, proceeding to ignore the rest of the flight attendant's speech about seat belts, smoking, and emergency exits.
Ten chapters and an hour and a half later Xxenya was jolted out of the book by the lurching of the plane followed by the voice of the Captain over the speakers.
