"Dan."

I look up to see Darcy. A smile forms across my face as she smiles back at me, "You need to stop Tod and Cameron." My smile fades as she says Tod's name.

"Tod?" But before I finish saying his name, she is gone. What the hell is with all of these hallucinations!? Getting to my feet, I wipe off all the snow, walking down the snow covered bike lane on the highway, trying to find the nearest airport.

"YOU'RE WHERE?!" Kyle spits from the other line. Rolling my eyes, I nod, knowing he can't see from across the ocean.

"You heard me, jackass. And there are no flights available." I sigh, frustrated now.

"Why not?"

"Blizzard."

"Ah. Well you need to tell us who your dealer is when you get back home. You said you found them...or it...right?" Kyle asks, his voice shaky and hushed now.

"Ya. And it's a he. He is also connected to Darcy, and he wants her. That's all I can tell you."

"Well hurry up and get your ass back home, Smith."

"Okay. Bye." I pull my phone away from my ear, pressing the "end call" button. Taking a seat, I decide to go on Twitter.

Dan! Are you okay?! We have all been worried sick about you!

@Woody_the_bastille_Cowboy: What's wrong, Dan? Why are you suddenly depressed?!

@Farqstille: Darcy is a f**king douche. I hope she dies.

@Camerxn: Time's running out. You're dead, Smith.

@trianglebastille: *picture message* *photoshopped picture of a fan and me kissing*

I suddenly stop reading through the tweets and scroll back up to @Camerxn's tweet. Right after I read it aloud, flames rise up from the airport hallway, screams echoing through the enclosed airport. I scramble to my feet, trying to find a way out. Everything and everyone starts to burn before my eyes as I try to find my way out.

"Here is a sneak peak of your afterlife, Daniel Smith," Cameron's voice booms on the intercom, "See you in hell, jackass." I ear bleeding buzz is set through the intercom, forcing me the cover my ears. I can still hear the heart shattering screams of people being burned alive, but I can't risk it. I find a door to the runways.

Running out, I head towards an unoccupied plane, hopping in. I set the plane on autopilot and instruct it to fly to the LAL, London Airlines. I look out the a plane window to see that the whole airport is aflame, but I'm pretty sure Cam escaped. He's smart enough not to stay behind.

I take a seat once more and dig through my pockets until I find my phone and a set of ear buds. Next thing I know, I am slowly drifting off to sleep.

I am awoken by a loud beep from the control panel, automatically freaking out, thinking that a blizzard is causing us to crash. I rush over only to see that we are almost home...and it's raining. At least it's better than being burned alive and dieing from a plane crash caused by a blizzard.

The veins of London light up below as I start landing. A wide grin starts to form on my lips from ear to ear as I see the plane coming down for a landing.

"Oh, hey there, Dan." I hear a familiar voice chirp from behind me. I stand up, straightening my back, but not daring to turn around to see who it is, "Did you like my little performance, Daniel? I thought it was quite entertaining. All the screams and the sound of the flames liking at the walls. The sound of sizzling, soon-to-be-charred flesh. I feel like I am in a wonderful dream that will never end, don't you? And frankly, my friend, it isn't close to ending. Not one bit." I decide to turn around when I hear the sound of ticking, to see Cameron chuckling to himself, "You've got five seconds. Five," I watch him open the plane door, "Four. Three. Two," He jumps out, "ONE!" Right when he disappears out of sight, the bomb explodes, tearing a hole on the side of the plane. Sending the plane roaring down.

Quickly, I grab onto a seat, strapping myself in to keep myself from flying out of the side of the plane. Loud beeping and flashing red lights go off inside the plane, making my head spin. The ground inches closer and closer, until finally, the plane along with me inside makes impact.
