Prologue
I stand there looking at my best friend with curiosity as he taps away at the keys on his keyboard. We wait at the airport for our plane. Both of our parents trusted us to get to the hotel and, on the plane on our own of course with at least one adult but my brother had to cancel because he got to sick to leave the house so we left without him after calling our parents to let them know he wasn't coming. They said to come anyway. After a few hours of waiting we board the plane. When we get on they go through the normal safety procedure and then in french because we are leaving Edmonton to go to Stuttgart Germany because both me and Eli wanted to go to the library. It has a whole nine stories! During the flight we stop in Amsterdam to fill up on gas and repair what needs to be repaired. After about 30 minutes we're off again. Eli and I sit by ourselves in a three person row and I sit next to the window. Half way through the ride I see something go through the jet engine and it goes up in flames. I slam the window shut and hug Eli, I whisper in his ear "stay strong. For me. I love you Eli I don't know what I would do without you." confused Eli looks at me as he's about to speak, but the flight attendant comes out and yells to all of the passengers "STAY CALM AND PUT YOUR HEAD BETWEEN YOUR KNEES TO STAY SAFE! WE ARE GOING DOWN!" Eli goes to put his head between his knees but I stop him "they do that to kill you when the plane goes down your head will hit the seat in front of your and snap your neck." he looks at me and nods as if to say 'I trust you'. We sit there and wait for the crash. I open my window and look out. We are so close to the ground, I grab my pillow from behind my head and shove it in front of Eli's face just in time for the crash. My head flies to the side and smashes into the window killing me instantly. Eli's head flies forward and hits the pillow which softens some of the blow but not all of it. He lives with a minor concussion.
For a few minutes I question where I am but then I wake up and look around. Plane debris is everywhere same with people but the one person I look for is Eli hoping he lives. After a minute I find him, awake and crying over what looks like a book. I run over and look at what he's holding. My songbook. Open to the last page where I writing down the lyrics to my latest cover song for my Youtube channel. I was going to sing Fuckin' perfect by Pink for pride month, June. (A/N: I know that there is school in June but let's just say they got a week off ok? ok.) I watch Eli cry for about 30 seconds before I try to wrap him in a hug. Keyword try. I go right through him. Now knowing that it won't work I look for a new solution. I see another one of my books on the ground with my drawing pencil sticking out of the rings. I quickly reach for it and pick it up. Smiling at the fact that I did something right, I open the book and write down 'I'm still here I can tell you can't see me but I want you to know I'm here for you I will follow you to the ends of the earth just to make sure you're safe and sound
- Meagan'
I try to pry my songbook from Elijah but he wouldn't give he starts to scream "NO NO DON'T MAKE ME LET GO I NEED HER I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HER SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND AND" He starts to quiet down "and she's dead." he starts to close his eyes but I shove the book in my hand in his line of view before he can. His eyes widen, once he reads the note, and looks around as if searching for me. While he does that I look down at my appearance expecting it to be tattered and worn clothes, what I see is so different than what I expected, all of my clothes are in perfect condition. My Black Veil Brides sweater doesn't have a scratch on it, with my light gray 'music will save us' t-shirt tucked safely underneath. My black yoga pants don't have a tear in them and my Fall Out Boy shoes look like they just came out of the box, my green Pierce The Veil and black, Black Veil Brides wrist bands look like they just came off the assembly line. I take out my silver 'Kick Me' necklace and examine it. Nothing same with my Falling In Reverse hat.
I hear a small voice come from Eli "Meagan?" I look up at him I don't think he sees me but he keeps taking "Megsi if you're dead you should move on to the light, I'll be fine. But if you can't that's fine too and I have something I want to give you, hopefully it's still in good condition. Can you help me find my duffel bag?" I grab the book again and write yes I can help with that. He smiles and says "so where do we start?" I look around for a minute to see where everything is, and I find where all the baggage was stored I grab the book again and walk towards it hoping that Eli would catch on. Soon enough he follows me and starts to look in the rest of the luggage I find his large black duffel bag and take a quick peek inside. What I see inside surprised me. He bought me a guitar. I close the bag and bring it over to where Eli is. I drop it in front of him. He looks at the bag and mumbles a 'thanks' I chuckle a little. He shuffles in the bag and brings out the guitar I had seen before. I grab it and smile. I tune, and play it a little. Eli looks in shock as if he had never heard me play on my father's guitar before. A minute later he speaks in an even smaller voice than he was before "Meagan?" I turn my head up from the guitar and look back at Eli. He is staring right at me, a little louder this time he says it again "Meagan?" I go to pick up the book that I have disregarded on the side, to tell him that I'm listening, but when I put my hand on it Eli does the same, putting his hand on mine. I stare in shock at him. He speaks again "Meagan... I... I... I can see you. I know you're there and you didn't have those headphones when we got on the plane."
I look down and peer at the red beats headphones, then smile. "Well they're better tha-" I'm cut off by the sound of sirens. Knowing what they mean I speak quickly "act like you're sleeping make it obvious that you're breathing just not that you're awake. An ambulance is coming same with a fire truck you will be safe I promise, and whatever you do don't mention that I'm alive well 'alive' make it seem like you don't know where I am. Ok?" he nods and lies on the ground in midst of the rubble and closes his eyes.
When the ambulance gets here they start grabbing some of the body's. After about five minutes one of them finds Eli, and checks his pulse then yells to some of the other medics around him "WE GOT A LIVE ONE HERE!" They pick him up and put him on a gurney. I whisper to him to wake up, and slowly he opens his eyes. The paramedic quickly yells again "HE'S WAKING UP!" Eli mumbles something incoherent and the paramedic looks at him and asks "I'm sorry what was that?"
This time Eli is heard "Where's Meagan?"
He looks confused "who's Meagan?"
"My friend Meagan, where is she?"
"What she look like maybe we can find her."
"She's about 5'6, has shoulder length dirty blonde hair, blue eyes last I saw her she was wearing black yoga pants with a sweater that has BVB on the front and a bunch of band merch. Please find her she means so much to me."
"We will ok. We will."
Another minute and they still haven't found my body. I tell Eli that I'm going to help with the search. I search and search until I find something.
An arm it's sticking out from under some debris with black nail polish on the thumb and blood covering the rest the hand the thumb has a red 'A' on it. I reach down and wipe off the rest of the nails, and the back of the hand
When I'm done it confirms my suspicion when they spell out 'ELIJAH' one letter on each finger and the 'H' on the back of my hand. This is my body. Dead and crushed under parts of a plane.
When I got back to Eli he was in the ambulance and was about to head back to the hospital I was going to follow but, I heard a voice in my head "Meagan Lalonde you have died while saving a life, in place of your own, you will be known as The Siren from now on. Everyone I choose gets a special weapon yours is a bow and arrows but your voice will work fine to. You can sing normally or with your power."
"How do I use my power?"
I never got an answer.
