Hello people, this is my first fan fiction. It is based on the book Hatchet hence the name. They are around 17 years old and just out of high school. Enjoy.

Freddie's p.o.v.:

I turn one more time to face Carly.

"I have to ride with Spencer so he doesn't touch anything and set the plane on fire." She says again. We were getting on a plane for a free ride to Canada to a meat factory with every meat in the world, and I have to ride with Sam.

I turn to Sam and she is climbing in the copilot seat and I stop her and say. "If you sit in back, you can go to sleep."

Her eyes get wide and she dives in the back. I smirk and strap myself in the seat. The pilot was outside and starting the engine. I sighed and looked at my belt and my lucky charm is still there.

"Wake me after we land." Sam said and she reclined in her seat.

The pilot got in and I leaned back for a long ride.

I woke up suddenly to a jolt. I looked up at the pilot and he was yelling into the microphone He grunted and threw it down and saw I was awake.

"There is a huge storm and I don't know where we are. We are going to have to land in a small lake. Wake your friend up and prepare for a landing." The pilot said.

I turned to Sam who was of course asleep. I started to shake her gently and she slowly started to open her eyes. They were almost all the way open when the plane fell suddenly and she was forced to an upright position. "There is a storm and we have to land early." I yelled over the rain. She looked a little scared. I turned to the pilot and he looked a little worried.

I looked out the window and I couldn't see out. I squinted and was suddenly deafened by the crack of lightning as it hit the wing.

"That is not good." The pilot said. I glanced back at Sam and she was getting more worried. She started to lean forward and grab the pilot's shoulder. The hair on the back of my neck went up and I threw Sam in the back seat.

Just as I did so a bolt of lightning came through the window and hit the pilot. He gave a few jerks and stopped. I reached for his wrist and tried to find a pulse, but there wasn't one. I looked over at Sam who was in total shock.

"He is dead." I said. I was trying my hardest to not scream and said "Get up here." She started to climb up and looked at me with a terrified expression that said don't-make-me-sit-on-a-dead-guy. So I unbuckled and slid over to the pilot seat.

"We are going to have to make a crash landing. I'll try to find a lake." I said.

"Do you know how to fly a plane?" She asked.

"More or less."

"Which?"

"Less."

"How much?"

"You don't want to know." I glanced at her and she was still petrified. I looked around the cockpit and found the altimeter. I brought the plane slowly down to 800 feet. I could barely see the ground and I saw in the distance a clearing of trees.

I started to direct the plane towards the clearing and tuned to Sam.

"Break your window."

"Why?" She asked.

"So you can get out when we crash." I wrapped my sleeve around my knuckles and punched the window as hard as I could. It shattered and I looked at Sam and she was frozen, which was not like her at all. I leaned over and punched her window and she flinched when it shattered, but was unmoved. I had to wake her up.

I grabbed her chin and turned her face to me and I said "Sam, I need you to snap out of it. If you don't wake up you will die. Now wake up and get ready to crash."

She shook her head and blinked a few times.

"I am awake… you n-nub." I could tell she was back to normal, but he voice cracked at the end and I could tell she was still terrified. I smirked and went back to flying.

"When we hit," I said. "try to get out the window. From there, get to shore."

She nodded and said "What then?"

I looked at her and said plainly "Pray."

Her eyes widened and I turned back to the window. We were a little over a hundred yards away and I cut the engine. We started to glide towards the lake and I turned to Sam and said "I have to warn you, this may hurt a lot." She was visibly scared. I turned to the lake and watched the lake take on detail, and then as we hit, I was right, it hurt a lot.

Hello, sorry if Freddie was a little o.o.c., but that is intended and I will explain why later. The next chapter is a little jump in time, just after the crash.
