This story was inspired from starsnuffers's story The Trick Is To Keep Breathing. So thank her, she's the genius. Go read her story, it's great.
Chapter One- I HATE AIRPLANES!
"Man, why do we have to go to California on a plane? I hate flying," Nate muttered as the three brothers boarded the plane. Peter smiled up at his older cousin, because, unlike Nate, Peter loved planes. Peter let go of Nate's hand and jumped into his seat. Nate grudgingly sat down beside the jumpy boy.
Shane sat in the seat across the aisle with Jason getting the window seat. Nate looked around the plane to see there was a teen girl with a little girl beside her, there was an old man telling the children in his aisle a story, a women with light blonde hair reading a book, and a young male teenager and a woman holding a baby. That was everyone in first class and Nate couldn't see any farther so he turned back the right way in his seat.
"I love planes," Peter said happily as the plane started to take off.
"That makes one of us," Nate replied, clutching the arm rests.
Once in the air, Nate started to relax. He looked over to Jason and Shane and started to talk to them for a while till he heard something and then with the echoes of screaming blackness consumed him.
0-o-o-o
When Nate woke up, he looked around to see that the plane was a wreck, he looked behind him to see the women that had been holding a baby was lying half out of her seat with her blonde hair falling out behind her, her face covered in ash, and her eyes frozen open in terror. The old man was crushed behind the seat in front of him. The little girl's body (one of the one's the old man was telling a story to) was face down in the aisle with her hair completely covering her head, the boys she had been with was halfway out of his seat, he almost looked like he was trying to cover his sister. The young male teen had his head bashed into the window and had blood all over. The teen girl was lying half fallen from her seat blood covered her head. Clutched in her arms was the little girl who had a terrible gash on her arm and ash in her hair. Then he realized that she was quietly sobbing… she was alive.
Nate slowly made his way over to the little girl and squatted down so he was at eye level with her. "Shh, it's ok, I won't hurt you. Come here," he said softly spreading out his arms to her. She threw her arms around his neck and started to sob. Slowly Nate got up and started to walk over to the exit. He pushed on the door causing it to swing open easily. He looked around the woods and walked over to a log. He gently set the child down. "Ok, I'm going to be right back, I need to see if anyone else survived," he said quietly to her. She nodded and curled up against the log.
Nate's POV
I looked around the plane and saw that Jason, Shane, and Peter were starting to wake. I ran over to them and slowly pulled Peter out from under the seat that was crushing him. Jason helped Shane up and we made our way to the door.
After I made sure Shane and Peter were ok, Jason and I went back into the plane to find some food and blankets. As I made my way to second class I shivered at the site, dead bodies littered the floors and seats. I saw a beautiful little girl who couldn't be older then 8 clutching a Connect 3 backpack. I felt so guilty for taking it from her. Her face looked petrified. I leaned over and gently closed her eyes. I pressed my lips to her forehead and whispered "I'm sorry," into her hair. I slowly unwrapped her arms from the backpack and found two full size snicker bars, three bubbaloo blueberry lollypops, and a box of strawberry bubbaloo bubble gum.
Jason walked in holding a small of bag of food and he had about four blankets in his other hand. "We need at lest one more blanket," I told him, thinking of the little girl. He nodded and we started to get out of the plane when I something caught my eye. It was the teen girl that was probably the older sister of the little girl. Wait… did it really happen or did I imagine it? "Hey Jason, hold this," I said pushing the backpack of food into his arms.
I slowly walked over and leaned down so I could see her clearly. My eyes widened when her chest did in fact rise. She was breathing… "SHE'S ALIVE!" I yelled over to Jason. He ran out of the plane, probably to put down the food. I slowly dislodged her from the chair in front of her (her legs had gotten caught under the seat in front of her) and picked her up, bridal style. Jason came running back in and said he would go look for any other unconscious survivors. I nodded and carried her out of the plane and into the shaded woods.
I gently set her down on an already laid out blanket. I looked over and saw that the little girl had fallen asleep against Shane's chest. He had his arm around her and was staring strait at me. "How bad?"
I surveyed her and noticed the blood on her head wasn't her own for she had almost no wounds except maybe her legs. I looked over to the little girl and saw that her arms was bleeding non-stop. "She's going to bleed to death. JASON GET A FIRST AID KIT!" I yelled.
Jason came running with the first aid kit in his hand. He handed it to me and I decided that I would let her sleep while I worked on her arm, because it was going to hurt. I slowly slipped off her jacket and put a slight pressure on the gash to try and stop the bleeding and I started to look threw the kit to find something to disinfect the wound. Great, there wasn't anything. I pulled out some gauze and wrapped up her arm. Thankfully, the bleeding stop.
1 hour later
I was reading a book when I saw Ella (the little girl. He hasn't asked her name yet) start to stir in Shane's chest. She fluttered her eyes open and looked up into Shane's face. He gave her a small smile as she climbed off him. "What's your names?" she asked sitting down by the fire.
"I'm Nate, and your bed is Shane," I said with a smile as she laughed. "You hungry?" I asked. She smiled and nodded.
"Is Candy going to be ok?" she asked looking over to her big sister, sorrow in her blue orbs.
"Yeah I think she only got a bump on the head and she might not be able to walk for a couple of weeks but she'll be fine," I said handing her a bran bar. She smiled and took it.
"I'm Kelly by the way, I'm 6 years old," she said taking a bite of the bar. "Candy's 16, she just got a silver 2008 BMW," she said with a smile.
"Really, that's a nice car," Shane said with a smile. She looked at her gash and together we said…
"You see, this is why I hate flying."
