The Gift

Alexia

We pulled into the Bob Hope Airport and strutted down the paved walkway. The sun was beaming down onto my frail ghost skin. Just climbing into the small plane we were greeted with a cool air and the stomach turning sent the of a of pennies and nickels stained the cockpit. We took our seats towards the back, two older gentleman sat in the first row. The slim, blonde, tall flight attendant instructed what to do in an emergency. She kept glancing sly grins at me as she transferred to the next thing then she offered me something to eat. She gave me this off feeling so I passed off her offer then she made her way to the cockpit. In the sky the clouds looked light and puffy it was like cotton candy masked the sky as the wings cut into them. Hunter sat next to Jenna in front of Noah and I, leaning in I asked him.

"Whatcha read?"His head turned back like an owl, it was kinda creepy as fuck but cool.

"Well Keeper lets try your literature skills out, from what story is this line from," Hunter asked

"Ok, Got it."

"Better to reign in Hell, then to serve in Heav'n." He quoted 

"John Milton, Paradise Lost," I answered 

"Book?"

"Book one"

"It's must be a good book," Jenna leaned back to look at me. I think I understand Hunter now.

"Indeed," he noted. A few hours had gone by I still wont eat anything from this plane. The flight attendant strolled by again. I got up and squeezed pass Noah, who had his headphones in and I could hear every beat to Seven Nation Army ringing through his ear.  

"Excuse me, where's the bathroom?" I asked 

"Well let me show you." She sleekly strutted down the aisle, hell she looked more model material than Jenna, that could be because of the height difference. She opened the door graciously and I turned around to asked her a new question at the same time she was very impatient to be some that would care.

"So when are we landing in Washington?" Turbulence started to shake the plane and it tossed me on to the toilet. So this is what it's like to be tossed aside like a rag doll.

"Oh sweetie we're not going to Washington, No this plane is making a small stop in Nova Scotia. Right after we kill off some of this deadweight. See you soon hun, the toilet paper is on the right of you. Tata!" The clicking of her heels grew distant. I started looking for something to get someone's attention. Phone, Phone, where the hell is my phone!!!  The floor was buzz it must have fallen out of my pocket when I fell. 

Noah: Everything alright in there, love?

Me: No they're all Deratailians and she locked me in here

Noah: I'll rescue you

Me: Great

Were all doomed. That was all I could think of as the plane grew rocky in the sky the sent of less valued coins mixed with a nauseation. I tried to figure out my light pew, pew thing like this morning. I make a gun shape with my fingers and pointed it at the lock. The tremor in my was making it impossible to shoot or do anything. A loud bang rubbed against the door.

"This Keeper is so easy better than the last one, what was his name again Ted, Henry, No?" She bellowed. I could hear Jenna screaming and something falling on the floor, now I'm fired up.

"It was you who killed my brother, you bitch!" Noah yelled

"Noah calm down and help me up here! " Hunter commanded. I took some deep slow breaths to control my hand position then it sparkled like a sprinkler only this one can take off a doorknob. rolling out just in time to witness the door wide open and the blood bath beneath my feet. I moved closer to the door to see a deep drop off to nowhere. The last man can up behind me and held his gun up to my neck. The barrel was warmed with a 9mm NATO.
