THE FORBIDDEN GAME 3 THE KILL
The flight attendant started towards them and the back of darceys neck began to prickle her little fingers tingled be casual she told herself be calm but her heart began to pound as the flight attendant reached their row she was dressed in navy blue with cream accents and looked rather military her face was pleasant but authoritative like an alert teacher
Don’t look at her look out of the window darcey wedged her fingernails into the bottom of the plastic trim around the oval window and stared at the darkness outside she could feel Bryan beside her his body rigid with tension out of the corner of her eye she could see Marie in the aisle seat her burnished copper head bent over in the flight magazine the flight attendant was blocking the view of Shane and kian across the aisle
Please let her go away darcey thought please anything why is she standing there so long? Any minute now Bryan was going to break into hysterical giggles or worst a hysterical confession without moving a muscle darcey silently willed him to stay quiet the flight attendant had to go away she could`nt just keep standing there she did it became clear that she wasn’t just stopping casually a little rest on the route from the galley she was looking at them looking at each of them in turn a grave searching look
OK we’ve just past our mocks and our parents are treating us to a holiday she told herself the flight attendant leaned towards darcey oh my god I’m going to be sick Marie stayed frozen over her magazine Bryan stopped breathing calm- calm calm… is it you the flight attendant said who ordered the fruit plate?
Darcey’s mind swooped into a nose-dive and stalled for a terrible second she thought she was going to go ahead and babble out the excuse she’d been practising then she licked the dry roof of the mouth and whispered no its my friends across the aisle there the flight attendant backed up and turned Marie with one long leg folded so she could tuck her toe into the little pouch on the back of the seat lifted her eyes from the magazine and smiled
Fruit plate the flight attendant said seat eighteen-d lovely got it the next moment she was gone darcey looked at Marie you and your d**ned fruit plate darcey hissed across the aisle and to Bryan for god sake bry breathe! Bryan let out his breath with a whoosh what could they do with us anyway? Said Bryan his voice was barely audible above the deep roar of the 757`s engine’s throw us off? Were six miles up?
Don’t remind me darcey said to the window as Bryan began to describe to Marie in hushed detail exactly what he imagined they could do with four runaways from London runaways I’m a runaway darcey thought wonderingly it was such an unlikely thing for her in the darkened window she could see her own face or part of it a girl with deep brown sad eyes and eyebrows that were straight like brush strokes her hair was as black as the midnight sky she had left Amelia and Tim Harman a small note
“I’m going to get mark and nix back please don’t call the police I don’t know if Ill be coming back thankyou for looking after me love you both Dee xxxx
Not very informative but what was she supposed to say? Marie had also written her parents a letter more informative then Darcey’s letter was she was posting it when they landed she was to scared incase her parents found it before she had time to leave for the airport
Dear mum and dad
A terrible thing happened it involves Dee well you see it happened a long time ago you remember when Dee was taken into the institution for seeing dark angels well it was true I know I said she had lost it but its really true they do exist tristian is a dark angel he was torturing Dee and nix at first then he made us all play a game we had to face our worst nightmares mine involved aliens and a UFO you see Dee let them out when she was a child and they took her grandpa tristian killed Mary as she couldn’t face her fear we all miss her a lot Dee blamed herself for it even though it was nobody’s fault we managed to get away from tristian as we beat him
Then he came after us again and wanted us to play another game which we did even though I wished I said no but I went along with it we were all rounded up by tristian Dee managed to fool him and get us all out but nix was taken by tristian again and mark went back into the burning picture to get nix out Dee was screaming for him he never came out again tristian left a message saying to play another game if we wanted our friends back so here we are on a plane cant say where we are going sorry daddy its a treasure hunt I know Ive never lied to you before but please trust me on this one oh by the way I owe you £600,00 sorry love you love Marie
Marie knew that her parents would never believe her and she’d be in trouble and never mind tristian killing her- her parents would for the money she had taken the flight attendant was on her rounds again serving out the dinner then she was gone again darcey wasn’t interested in the meal infront of her all she wanted to think of was mark and nix and what was happening to them she needed mark like a fish needed water she wanted to feel the tender touch of his arms wrapped around her again
She closed her eyes and started to drift in a few minutes her thoughts unwound and then… she was in an elevator a silver mask covered the little man’s face he was so small she wondered if he was a dwarf will you go with us? Can we take you? Darcey realised he’d been asking the same question for quite some time we can carry you he said darcey was frightened no! She said who are you? He kept on asking it can we take you?
On the elevator wall behind him was a large poster of Joyland Park an amusement park that Lynette and Todd Lexington used to always take her to when in America can we take you? Finally she said yes…and he leaned forward eagerly his eyes flashing in the mask’s eyeholes we can? Yes… if you tell me who you really are? She said
The little man fell back disappointed tell me who you really are darcey demanded she was holding a bottle over his head ready to brain him she knew somehow that he wasn’t actually there it was only his image but she thought he might materialise briefly to show her what he really was he didn’t darcey kept hitting the image but the bottle just swung through it then the image disappeared darcey was pleased she’d proved he wasn’t real and that she was in control the elevator stopped
Darcey walked through the open doors into another elevator can we take you? We can carry you the little man in the silver mask was laughing Darcey’s head jerked up and she was sat staring a plane not a elevator a plane which at the moment seemed crammed to its dim corners with menace she was alone because everyone else was asleep the other passengers could all have been museum figure’s besides her Bryan was completely motionless his head was leaning on Darcey’s shoulder
As she watched his eyes flew open and he made a terrible sound he sat bolt upright hands at his throat he looked like someone who couldn’t get air what is it? Marie had jerked awake there were times when Marie acted as if she didn’t care about Bryan at all but it wasn’t one of them Bryan went on staring looking absolutely terrified Darcey’s skin was rippling with fear Bryan can you breathe? Are you all right? Marie said
He did breathe then along shaky intake of air he let it out and slumped back against the seat his blue eyes normally heavily lidded were still wide I had a dream he said you too? Said darcey Marie was leaning over the armrest of her seat across the aisle other people were looking at them disturbed from sleep darcey avoided their eyes what about? She was keeping her voice low was it-it wasn’t about an elevator was it? She had no idea what her own dream meant but she felt sure it was bad
What? No it was about Mary he said licking his lips as if to get rid of a bad taste oh..But it wasn’t all of Mary it was her head it was on a table and it was talking to me he said a sensation of unspeakable horror washed over darcey that was when the plane plummeted…
