"Is Mrs. Woods here? No..."

"Wait, I'm here!" I yell as I run to the landing stage, right in front of the plane, which looked huge by the way.

By the time I had reached the little platform set up for us, I was out of breath. Luckily the lady calling out our names saw me in time to put down that I was in fact here and ready to leave.

I had packed all my clothes in about two big suitcases, which meant I packed light compared to all the other girls here. One girl, whose name I think is Amy, had packed around five suitcases. And one was just full of beauty product and hair stuff. I mean we were only gone for two weeks girl!

"Payton, why were you so late. I thought you left early?" Zoë asks me as I run up to stand next to her.

"I did. I just got really lost on my way to the airport and there was a lot of traffic too. Then, I got lost in the airport on my way here. I barely had time to getdressed. But at least I'm here now, though." I say as we start to line up in front of the stairs to enter the gigantic private plane we would be riding in.

"Well at least you didn't forget something" Zoë said as she gave her bag to the bell boy type person, who was taking everyone's bags and putting them in the back of the plane.

"Yeah , that's true." I answer her as we head up the stairs onto the plane.

The inside of the plane looked like it was meant for royalty. There were plush seats and they looked comfy. There were even small flat screens and little head phones for people to watch TV without annoying the person sitting next to them. Overall, it looked like air force one. The whole plane looked like it was first class, how the school paid for this every year, I would never know.

I took a seat near the front of the plane, next to Zoë, of course. I sat down my carry on and got my phone out debated whether to charge it or not. I decided against it though, I mean I wouldn't need to use it on the plane. Little did I know that that choice could have saved our life's.

I could hear the buzz of mechanics and gears turning as the stair thingy was pulled in and retracted into the plane. It sounded just like the sound of garage doors closing. 

"All right, now that your all settled in, I would like to introduce you all to the pilot, Mr. chairman, and our co-pilot, Mr. Delevan."  The nice looking flight attendant said to us pointing at two men in pilot uniforms.

They started explaining how the plane ride was going to go very smoothly and how they were both very experienced pilots. Then they started to tell us that no one was aloud in the cock pilot unless they were told to by them.

Once they were done talking the flight attendant left us alone, as the pilots went into their pilot room and started the plane on the runway. We were told to turn off all of our electronic devices. There were many groans of protest from the plane, but they all proceeded to turn off their phones and iPods and stuff.

I could feel the plane speed up as it started to run down the track, and then start to tilt upwards as it rose into the air.

I could see someone a few rows behind me clutch his seat, as though he would die if he let go. He must not of ridden a plane before, he looked really afraid. I could also see the person next to him, one of the more annoying and "player-type" boys from our school, he kept telling him that the plane was going to crash.

But, to my surprise, the girl behind him told the one clutching his seat, Patrick I think his name was, that he would be fine. Then she turned around to the other boy and all most punched him in the face. I would've though.

"Hey Payton, I am going to sleep. Wake me if anything happens or something" Zoë says next to me curled up in her one direction blanket. She was obsessed with them!

I was about to answer, when I heard a huge snore from next to me. I look down, only to see her drooling with her head tucked on top of the armrest. She's already asleep! Dang girl!

Oh well, she can sleep for now. It's a 16 hour trip anyway, I think it would be a good idea if I went to sleep too.

So, I decided that I might as well sleep. I got out my fluffy blanket and reclined my seat back, there was no one behind me. I snuggled up with my blanket and plugged in my earphones to my iPod and put it on shuffle. I like to listen to music, it helps me sleep.

Immediately, it seemed as if I was falling into a deep sleep. Deeper, and deeper....

*dream*

I was in a dark room. Or so it seemed like. I couldn't see walls, but I could just feel the essence of being in an enclosed space. But the first thing I noticed was the extreme cold inside the room.

As my eyes started to adjust I saw that I was in a basement, and a scary looking one at that. There were what I assumed to be blood stains on the wall. Some were dark and brown, from a long time ago, but some were bright red and recent. There was a small mattress in the corner and chains on the wall, with a dark shape slumped under them.

I immediately knew where I was. It was the dark place that I had spent a whole two months in 2 years ago. I never told any of my friends accept for my best friend Emily, who moved away a year ago, and my family obviously knew. 

I also recognized the dark shape in the corner, it was me. Then I could see another shape in the darkness, I recognized this shape too. It was him, my tormentor, my captor, my kidnapper. And I couldn't take the silence anymore. He couldn't get me again. 

So I screamed

 *dream ends*

 I woke to see that Zoë was wide awake and staring at the cock pit with great concentration and thought.

"You all right Zoë?"

"The pilots haven't gave us a report of how our plane rides been in more than an hour. They've been giving use a report every hour, and I have heard not a peep from them." She says freaking out now that she's said her thoughts out loud.

"I'm sure it's all right."

"No you don't get it. They have been very strict about it, and have you even seen that annoying flight attendant? She's not here anymore, I've checked."

Her fears soon became mine as I realized that she wasn't anywhere to be found, and Zoë's gut is usually right.

So she started dragging me to the cock pit, then she threw open the door.

No one was there.
