The S.T.F. Files, Book 1: S.T.F.

S.T.F. Forever

Dimitri's POV

Yep. Here we are again. On a freaking plane ONCE AGAIN. Man, I wish we could stay in one place for more than a day. Everyone was doing their own little thing. Cleo on Cloud Shwiney, Damien playing solitaire because I didn't want to play B.S. with him and he knew he couldn't ask Cleo after that incident. Riza and Alagretto were in the cockpit AS USUAL piloting the plane. I leaned back in the chair and looked at Aly. It's been hours and she still hasn't woken up. Usually she would be up by now.

Looking out the window, I see thunder up again. Damn, we have turbulence again.

"Please fasten your seat belts. We are going to have some turbulence," Riza says through the speakers. The plane starts to shake violently. I fastened Aly's seat belt for her. Cleo... it was too late to reach her, but surprising she stayed in her seat.

"No!" Damien yells.

"What's wrong with you?" I ask.

"I was just about to win!" Damien throws his cards on the floor. The rest of the deck was on the floor anyway. Oh well....

Just then I hear an explosion from the back of the plane. I look to see two fighter jets, one on each side of us. Damn, it was the FBI.

"Sit down and hold on!" Riza yells through the speakers as she swerves the plane left and right. I get up and stand in the middle of the plane. Focus, focus... I think. I use the power of air to keep the plane steady as one of the engines blows up. I hear something fire, when I look up there was a missile facing the front of the plane. I run up to the front.

"Why isn't it..." Riza thinks. I study the missle.

"It's a heat-seeker! Get to the back!" I yell. I pull Riza out of her seat and yank Alagretto out of his. Cleo snaps out of her world and joins everyone at the back of the plane as the front blows up. The whole plane falls to the ground. We are all scream.

"Air!" Aly wakes up. Thank goodness, it was about time! The air captures us all and sets us on the ground gently. The FBI didn't see us since the explosion hit us. We were safe for now.

"Thanks Aly," I turn around. But she's out cold once again. "Aly?"

Riza feels Aly's forehead.

"SHe's running a high fever. If she was normal, she would have died by now.," Riza concludes.

"Let's take her to the hospital," Damien says.

"Are you crazy? We will really get hunt down if the doctors find out why we are so special," Riza yells at him.

"Cleo should help since Aly is nice," Cleo says. She lays out her stolen objects on the ground. "Shwiney!" The light power goes straight to Aly and starts to heal her.

"With a fever that high, it will take a little time for her to get better," Riza says. "We will camp here for tonight. Some how we will make it to Alaska for Cleo."

"Umm Riza?" Alagretto asks.

"What?" Riza replies.

"If we are about to die or even if we are still living, let's promise that we will stay together no matter what," Alagretto says seriously. Riza looks at him surprised.

"Agreed," I put my hand in.

"I'm in," Damien puts his on top of mine.

"Cleo wants to be in!" Cleo slaps her hand on top of Damien's.

"Ow," Damien winces. Cleo smiles. Alagretto puts his hand on top of Cleo's.

"Fine..." Riza puts her hand on Alagretto's.

"Hmmph. Don't forget about me," Aly says. She had woken up but was still sick. She crawled over and laid both of her hands on Riza's. We all smile at each other.

"S.T.F. Forever," we whisper.

"Now go lay down," Riza tells Aly.

"Yes, Sergeant," ALy replies. We all laugh.
