The atmosphere was quiet. Not a sound other than the air vent could be heard.
A bit later the pilot went to his cabin. Hailey looked around. Some of the people were scared, shivering.
Suddenly a baby started crying. One of the terrorists who was with the pilot then came up to the parent with his gun who sat in the next row.
"Get the baby to shut up. It's irritating my ears." The man said pointing the gun at her (parent).
"I-I am trying" the lady said almost in tears helplessly. Her husband who was there sitting next to her also tried to help.
"GET THE BABY TO SHUT BEFORE I SHUT IT WITH MY GUN!!"
The baby started crying louder than before. The situation got worse. Nobody dared to say a thing until, Hailey couldn't bear to see that.
Hailey tried standing up. Four people of the terrorist's group pointed their guns at her but she put on a brave lion's personality but she was shivering as a scaredy cat inside.
Hailey tried intervening in the situation and took the baby in her arms. Then sat back at her seat.
She really liked a lullaby when she was young which her mother used to sing to her.......
"Weigenlied" by Johannes Brahms.
Hailey started singing with melody in her voice. Everyone was staring at her. She never liked singing in front of anyone who isn't familiar. But at that moment.......the situation was different. 2 lives depended on her singing. One the baby's and other her's.
After sometime the baby fell asleep. Hailey gave back the baby to his father. The mother sighed in relief.
The terrorist went back eyeing Hailey in the corner of his eye with a small smile. Hailey did notice him. She gave somewhat a disgusted reaction and knew something was up with him.
All the terrorists involved in the attack went to the pilot's cabin except two to keep an eye on the passengers.
An hour or two later, Hailey got up her seat.
One of the men gaurding the passengers came up to her quickly and asked,"What do you think you are doing?"
"Well going to the washroom. So please excuse me." Hailey gave a bold reply.
Others there could see that it took a lot of courage for her to even ask that. Some even got a bit of inspirational confidence after seeing her act that way.
"Fine, but no funny buisness"
"And what will that be?" Hailey said raising one of her eyebrows.
"JUST.GO" Now the gun was pointed at her.
Hailey stepped back in fear but kept the bold face and just went out the passenger cabin.
She accidentally went to the men's washroom. She did notice when she went in, but as she was coming out, she saw something red in the corner of her eye coming out from one of the stalls. She decided to check it out.
She was horrified when she opened the stall door.
"T-the bodygaurds....." Hailey went pale. She wasn't quite used to such situations.
"The bodygaurds I saw at the airport......T-they are dead........B-blood.....A lot of blood." She ran out of the bathroom with fast breathing.
She saw the bodygaurds were badly....way too badly stabbed all over their body.
She slid down the door and curled up.
"Maniacs......They are maniacs.....even normal terrorists would leave a dead body with a shot or two...." Hailey said to herself.
Then Hailey got a thought.
'Will.....will we s-survive?'.
