Patricia sighed and gently put her right hand to her forehead, trying to suppress the migraine that was sure to come. It was all just too much; the pressure, the fear, her fight with Eddie and the rest of Anubis House... It heavily weighed down on her, dragging her down through an ocean full of pain and terror. She pulled out her phone again and tried to call 911, but the same robotic voice that Patricia had heard over and over again said that the service was unavailable.

If they didn't find the bomb, it was game over for all of them.

Patricia noticed Nina approaching her, teary-eyed and stressed out. She let out another sigh and placed her hand on Nina's shoulder. "Don't talk to them, Nina. They need time to cool down and process what's happening."

"But we don't have time, Patricia!" Nina snapped, then lowered her voice to a whisper. "If we don't find that bomb, all our time is coming to an end."

Patricia sat down in the empty seat beside her. People were running around, desperately trying to locate the bomb. When they landed in Paris, the bomb was going to explode and kill them all, including everyone near the explosion at the time...

"That's it!" Patricia suddenly exclaimed, jumping to her feet. "Why didn't we think of this before?"

Patricia hurried down the aisle to the cockpit. Nina trailed behind her, confused and asking a lot of questions, none of which Patricia bothered to answer. She opened the door to the cockpit and glanced at the unconscious pilots who were sprawled out on the floor. She carefully stepped over them and sat in the pilot's seat, while Nina sat in the co-pilot's seat.

"What ridiculous plan do you have now?" Nina demanded, looking in wonder at all the buttons and switches.

"What happens if we don't land in Paris?" Patricia asked, turning to face her sister. "What if we land in the water, far away from any civilization. We can leave the plane and get everyone on rafts or whatever the plane has for emergencies involving water."

"But we only have twenty minutes left, which I'm assuming is the time the bomb has until it explodes!" Nina protested.

Patricia noticed a blinking light that said Auto Pilot-On. "Which is why we have to do it now."

Patricia found the switch that controlled the auto pilot. She flicked it off, but the auto pilot stayed on. She messed with the switch a few times, but it still stayed on. Nina tried to turn it off, too, but it stayed as it was.

"What are you trying to do?" Cora asked, appearing at the door. Patricia explained her plan again, and Cora went to tell the other passengers.

"Why won't it work?" Patricia muttered to herself, flipping the switch on and off. The screen above the switch lit up.

"Please enter the passcode," a robotic voice requested. A digital number pad appeared on the screen. Patricia Nina exchanged a worried glance. Nina randomly entered a combination of numbers: 68123

"Passcode denied. Two tries remaining," the robotic voice informed.

Patricia hesitated, then entered another combination of numbers: 87096

"Passcode denied. One try remaining," the robotic voice said.

Nina angrily slammed her fist down on the seat. "Forget it! We'll have to go ask around."

The two girls exited the cockpit and observed the commotion. People were running all around the plane, checking under seats and cabinets. A few people sat in the seats, waiting for a signal, or waiting to die. Patricia cleared her throat and shouted, "Excuse me!"

Everyone in the plane stopped what they were doing and turned to lootoast her. Patricia took a deep breath and continued. "Thank you. We tried turning the auto-pilot off, but we need a passcode. We wasted two tries, so we only have one left. Does anyone have an idea of what it could be?"

Patricia question was answered with silence. She glanced at the flight attendants, but they looked just as lost as everyone else. Patricia sighed in defeat.

"Has anyone found the bomb, or something that suspiciously looks like one?" Nina asked. A chorus of "no's" and "nope's" ran through out the plane.

Nina sighed and put on her best serious face. "That's what I was afraid of. Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid it's come to the point where we'll have to check everyone's bags and suitcases."

Angry shouts and complaints followed Nina's comment. Patricia raised her voice to be heard over everyone's shouting. "Hey, listen! If you want to help us find the bomb, then you'll willingly give us your suitcases. Either way, we're going to check your suitcases, whether you like it or not."

A few people grabbed their suitcases and brought them to Patricia and Nina. A few more reluctantly got theirs and waited in line. Patricia opened one suitcase while Nina opened another. They swiftly checked the suitcases with ease, and moved on to the next one. After ten minutes, everyone's suitcases had been checked... All except for one. A man sitting at the back of the plane had remained in his seat.

Patricia and Nina hurriedly walked over to him. They passed by the Anubis students without a glance. Not knowing why, Anubis House stood up and followed them. Nina and Patricia exchanged a confused glance, but shrugged it off. They finally reached the man. His shaggy blonde hair fell into his eyes, and his green eyes had no emotion in them. He didn't look any younger than eighteen.

"Uh, excuse me?" Nina began. "Do you mind if we check your suitcase?"

When the man didn't respond, Patricia shrugged and reached up to grab his black suitcase. In half a second, the man stood up and grabbed both of her wrists.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he said, his voice coated with venom.

"Let go of her!" Nina spat, trying to push him away. He stayed exactly where he was. Nina aimed a kick at his stomach. The man grabbed Nina's ankle and, before she could react, twisted it and shoved her aside. Nina fell to the floor with a loud thud, hitting her head in the process.

"Nina!" Fabian cried, suddenly scared for his girlfriend. They hadn't officially broken up, but Fabian was still worried, and regretted what he had said.

"You didn't have to do that," Patricia whispered, her voice trembling with fury. "In fact, you're going to regret that you did."

Patricia pushed him with all her strength, and he fell to the floor. Before Patricia could move, he grabbed her ankles and pulled her down as well. She scrambled to get away from him, but his grip was iron-like and painful.

"Stop!" Eddie yelled. Being the closest to the man, Eddie kicked him in the stomach, then the head. The man tried to stand up and fight back, but could only manage to stand up for one second before collapsing back into his seat.

Patricia quickly stood up and shot Eddie a grateful glance. "Jerome, Mick, can you please hold back our little captive while we check his suitcase?"

Jerome and Mick obeyed without a second thought. They grabbed the man by his arms and forced him to stay in his seat. Patricia got to her knees beside Nina, and turned her over. Nina was still unconscious, and her ankle looked a little swollen, but she looked all right.

"I'll take care of her," Fabian whispered. Before Patricia could protest, Fabian bent down and picked Nina up bridal-style. He sat down in the seat next to them, caressing Nina's cheek softly.

Amber smiled softly at the Fabina moment, but didn't say anything. She sat down next to Fabian and looked down at Nina nervously. Patricia grabbed the man's suitcase and brought it down. Carefully, she flung it open.

And there it was: the bomb.

The Anubis students gasped in horror. Another man called from the front, "Is the bomb in his suitcase?"

"Yeah, it is!" Alfie called back. A hushed silence fell over the rest of the passengers.

Patricia looked down at the bomb in confusion. It was about the size of a basketball. Purple, red, yellow, blue, and green wires ran everywhere. A timer was attached at the top. Three blinking red numbers counted down the time they had left until they all died.

7:27

"Patricia, how do you disable it?" Joy asked worriedly. She was gripping one of the seats so tightly her knuckles were white.

"Oh, so now you're talking to me?" Patricia asked bitterly, not looking up at Joy. She focused on the colorful wires in front of her. How in the world do I disable this thing?

"Fabian?" a quiet voice said. Patricia turned to see Nina sitting up in Fabian's lap. Her face registered confusion, then anger. She pushed him away and stood up, then fell again. Mara caught her before she could hit the floor.

"Thanks," Nina murmured as Mara helped her sit in the seat opposite Fabian and Amber.

"Your welcome," Mara replied. Nina's eyes fell upon the bomb, and they widened in horror.

"Nina, do you happen to know how to disable this thing?" Patricia asked, absentmindedly wringing her hands.

Nina shook her head sadly. Patricia looked up at the man, who was watching with mild curiosity.

"How do you disable it?" Patricia demanded, glaring at him. He didn't say anything. Patricia glanced at Jerome and Mick. They tightened their grip on his arms.

The man's face paled considerably. "Okay, I don't know! Gio just taught me on how to get the bomb through security, not on how to disarm it!"

"I don't believe you!" Patricia hissed. She extended her hand, and small needles appeared from her fingernails.

"Whoa! How did you do that?" Eddie exclaimed, his eyes wide with amazement.

"They were installed in my fingernails," Patricia replied. She held up her other hand, and needles appeared from the fingernails on that hand, too.

"These needles are filled with poison. If I scratch you with them, you'll die a slow, painful death," Patricia drawled. She stood up and took a step towards the man. "Now, I'll ask you one more time: How do you disable it?"

"I don't kn-know!" the man stuttered, his face stark-white. "Please don't kill me!"

Patricia took in the look of horror on his face and the desperation in his voice. The good in her took over, and she sighed in defeat. "Fine."

The man looked relieved, then a look of pain contorted his face. He looked up at Jerome and Mick, who were still holding his arms rather tightly.

"You guys can let go now," Patricia told them. They let go, but continued to guard him.

Patricia flicked the needles back in her fingernails and looked down at the bomb in despair. She turned to look at the rest of the passengers. "Does anyone know how to disable a bomb?"

No one came forward. Patricia gulped and looked at the time remaining.

5:52

"So what now?" Fabian asked. He stood up and directed his gaze at Patricia. "Do we just give up?"

Patricia whimpered and tears started to form in her eyes. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. We can't disable the bomb."

Cries of despair came from the the passengers. Patricia slowly stood up. She walked over to the window and looked down; there was nothing but water below them.

Suddenly, a surge of adrenaline ran through her. She turned to look at everyone, a determined look in her eyes. "Open the emergency door!"

Confused, two men walked over to the emergency door closest to Patricia. She zipped up the suitcase and dragged it over to the door. The three of them tried to turn the latch, but they weren't strong enough. The passengers spread out around the plane and tried to open any of the doors; they were all tightly shut.

"Now we can't even get out!" a woman shrilled. Most of the women in the plane began to sob. The men just stood there, looking lost.

Suddenly, the plane started to descend. The bomb and the suitcase started started to slide forward. Patricia lunged for the suitcase and caught it. She put it back in the overhead bin and shut it tightly. The seat belt symbols began to blink rapidly. A few people screamed and practically leaped into their seats. It was utter chaos.

Fabian picked Nina up before she could protest and carried her back to their seats. The rest of Anubis House rushed back to their seats. Patricia scrambled to sit down and buckle her seatbelt. Eddie quickly sat down next to her and buckled his seatbelt as well.

Patricia turned away from Eddie. She watched as Nina and Fabian talked out their fight, and felt a pang of sadness. She got onto her knees and looked back to make sure everyone else was okay.

"So, are we just going to sit here like complete idiots?" Eddie asked sarcastically.

Patricia took a deep breath and sat correctly. "I guess not."

There was a brief silence between the two of them before they both blurted out, "I'm sorry!"

They froze, then burst out laughing. Patricia suddenly stopped, remembering their current situation. Eddie sighed and took her hand. Patricia whispered, "You're right. It's my fault. I never should have invited any of you to come to Paris with me."

"No, it's not," Eddie argued. He softly stroked Patricia's hair. "I'm sorry for yelling at you earlier. You didn't deserve it. None of this is your fault. Or Nina's."

Patricia looked up at him, her eyes sparkling with hope and relief. He leaned in and kissed her, probably for the last time. Patricia kissed back for a few seconds, then they broke apart. She buried her face in his shoulder, trying her hardest not to cry.

"Hey, Fabian?" Eddie called out. "I think it's time."

Fabian nodded in agreement. Eddie and Fabian unbuckled their seat belts and opened their carry-on bags, which they had grabbed from the front of the plane before they sat down. Eddie brought out a rectangular red box, and Fabian brought out a circular lavender box. They handed the boxes to their girlfriends.

Patricia carefully opened her box, and gasped in surprise. Inside was a pair of the most beautiful earrings she had ever seen. They were half hoop-earrings and half dangle-earrings. They started off as a hoop covered with tiny diamonds, then, attached like two charms, we're amethysts in the shape of a star. Patricia turned to look at Nina's; they started off as a cluster of flowers, then had pear-shaped rubies at the bottom.

"We were going to give them to you to match your rings, but it's too late now," Fabian stated sadly.

"No, it's all right! They're still really pretty. Thank you!" Nina exclaimed, hugging Fabian tightly.

Patricia turned back and hugged Eddie. She whispered, "Thank you."

They pulled back, and Patricia quickly put on the earrings, as did Nina. Patricia glanced out the window; land was quickly approaching. She unbuckled her seatbelt and pulled Eddie up. She walked to the center of the aisle. She held her hand out to Nina, who took it without a second though. Nina unbuckled her seatbelt and stood up, and Fabian stood up instantly after Nina. Patricia guided Nina over to Amber and Alfie. Taking a hint, they unbuckled their seat belts as well, as did Jerome and Mara, and Mick and Joy. They all gathered in a giant group hug in the center.

"I have an idea," Amber said softly. "When the bomb explodes, we all yell 'Sibuna'."

"What's that?" Mara asked, looking confused. She and Mick were the only ones who were confused.

"Remember when we were always sneaking around?" Nina asked. Mara nodded, and Nina continued. "Well, Fabian, Patricia, Amber, Alfie, and I were in a secret club called Sibuna. It's Anubis backwards."

"Oh, I get it," Mara breathed, her voice trembling slightly as the plane descended even faster. They felt the landing gear extend and hit the runway. The girls buried their shoulders in their boyfriend's shoulder. The guys hugged their girlfriends tightly, and they all huddled together.

"I love you guys," Nina whispered. She looked up at all of them. "Just remember that."

Then, without warning, the bomb exploded. They all instantly knew it because of the heat and noise. And they all screamed the same thing:

"SIBUNA!"

A/N: I can't believe it's over. But don't worry, there's a sequel! Who will survive? Who will die? You'll just have to find out. :)

Sorry if this seems rushed. I just wanted to get the chapter out for you guys. :)

If you really think about it, there's really no way they could have gotten out of the plane. So, basically, they were trapped, but that doesn't mean they all die. ;)

Here's a sneak peak for the sequel:

"Wake up. Please, wake up..."

"No! She can't be dead! She just can't!"

"Did you really think I would let you get away with it?"

"I am not afraid of you!"

"You killed them, and you're gonna pay."

"That's not possible! I thought you were dead!"

"Trust me, I know what's best for you."

"It's not my fault! How was I supposed to know?"

"I can't do this anymore. It's all just too much."

Thanks for all your support! I'll post the links to Nina and Patricia's earrings in a while!

(By the way, I couldn't find any ruby earrings on for Nina, so let's just pretend they are Pandora, okay? :P)
