This would have been out sooner, but I'm on vacation B)
No Ownership.
I rather enjoyed the plane ride back, even if the rest of them didn't. Since we had booked our tickets last minute, we ended up on a small plane with about 5 other people. Unfortunately we all managed to get seats as far away as physically possible from each other, and naturally the other passengers didn't want to trade seats. I was in the middle, Emmett and Percy were in front of me while Clarisse was to my right. In the very front of the plane was Rose, Carlisle, Esme and Alice, while Jasper and Edward just chilled in the back. Clarisse was plugged into her ipod the whole flight and was too completely absorbed in her wrestling magazine to make small talk, which meant I had to resort to Emmett and Percy for company. What joy.
My carryon contained a huge plastic baggie of goldfish, which kept me, Emmett and our immature moods occupied for the first two hours of the flight.
Until several things happened in the span of a few seconds.
Clarisse finished up her magazine and shoved it angrily into her backpack. Percy was huddled in a little ball because the plane was experiencing some turbulence (he kept chanting "no Zeus, please Zeus! I'm too young to die!) .
The plane took a sudden dip. It was sudden enough that Emmett yelped, and my stomach dropped.
The rest of the passengers just assumed all was well and the turbulence would pass…
FWOOM
Lightning flashed outside the window… and the plane took yet another nauseating dip.
Two rows in front of us, the Asian businessman I hadn't noticed before turned in his seat. His eyes were boring into me with the utmost loathing.
Fingering Cirrus, I sent a silent prayer to my dad, or any other god that would be listening. The engine was making loud popping noises, and deep down I felt that there was no way we were all going to land in one piece.
The pilot stepped into the cabin. His face was twisted with pure and unadulterated insanity. Emmett stiffened in front of me, his large hard hands were making indents in the armrest where his fingers were gripping. As I squinted into the cockpit, I could see why. The copilot was slumped over the side of his seat. There was blood dripping down the side of his head, pooling onto the floor below.
There was no one piloting the plane.
I remembered Edward and I had a conversation about situations like this, he would take me in his arms and jump out of the plane, and we would walk out of the crash like the luckiest people on earth. But I didn't think it was going to work out this time. We were thousands of feet in the air, in a lightning storm, and it would be just our luck if we were over the great lakes at this point. We were doomed.
"There are half bloods on this plane," the pilot said. He sounded possessed, and his eyes were unfocused, "Abominations, lying about their gods. All high and mighty, you're nothing but a lie!" he half shrieked,
"freaks! I will kill you all, a few less in the world will do the world good!"
Then he lunged for the door. The exit, we would all be killed.
I could hear myself yelling, "Cullens. Get everyone down!" as I lunged for the lunatic.
But it was too late, he had the door open.
I tackled him, and we were both sucked out the door and into the thunder outside.
Edward POV
We were moving before Bella had even told us to. Emmett jumped on Percy and held him down. Jasper on Clarisse and the rest of us on the other passengers to keep them from getting sucked out of the plane.
I made a move for Bella.
But she was gone.
I am rather proud of this chapter, even though I just KNOW you guys will chew me out because of the cliffhanger :)
review please!
