Special thanks to my buddy:
Pearl Darkness.
NOTE: I received a few reviews from readers about this chapter and after re-reading it many times, I can only say that their criticism was 200 percent true. So, since it's only the first chapter, I've decided to rewrite it. I've altered the story line a bit. Thank you all for helping me improve!

Hello guys. Yes the name of this series was taken from the TV series 'Lost', and the concept was also the same – plane crash. But I've never seen that series as I didn't want to let the real plot affect my story. So afraid not, it's gonna be a total different story from that series (if me and the story writer of that series don't have the same pattern of thinking that is)
This is going to be another long series aside from 'Secret Base' and what makes this different was that this was properly, very carefully planned. A reader (I'm not gonna name her because I don't have the permission to) and me actually went through the stuff together to avoid plot holes etc.
And I'm also gonna take my sweet time writing it instead of rushing things. Don't wanna ruin the quality and potential of this series.
I hope this would be more successful than 'Secret Base'.
Also, there's gonna be 6 arcs, including the epilogue so it'll be fairly long too.

Chapter 1: The Beginning
An ordinary airplane was seen flying in the sky.
Ruby Rose and Yang Xiao Long were sitting side by side, chatting happily about things they were going to do once they reached their destination.
It was lucky that little red skipped two years in college – she was in the same grade with Yang, and that had made their schedule way more convenient to match with one another's.
They had a two-week summer break at the same time, and under Ruby's suggestion had decided to go on a vacation at Revere Beach which was located in Boston.
Unfortunately, their mother Summer Rose couldn't go with them as she would be very busy with her job during the whole summer break, so the girls were on their own for this trip.
The super mom trusted that the twenty year old big sister was definitely capable of taking care of everything – and it was not that she didn't trust Ruby, but having Yang by her side was a big comfort.
Their flight would be taking around two hours' time, so in approximately fifty minutes, they would be greeted by the beautiful city.
"I can't wait to dive into the sea." Yang looked at Ruby who sat beside her in the plane.
"Me too! Oh boy I'm so excited!" Ruby squeaked in a strange tone.
The blonde chuckled before breaking into a yawn.
"Couldn't sleep yesterday night eh?" The girl in red hood teased, "Are you that excited?"
"I know you couldn't too." Big sister smirked, "I heard you playing video games in your room. Next time, lower the volume a bit, kiddo."
Ruby pouted as she looked outside the window. As Yang was about to further tease her, the corner of her eye caught something white walking pass her. Curious, she turned her head and practically saw an angel.
Wow, what a gorgeous lady.
She looked around Yang's age but she was pretty short. She had beautiful white hair tied into an off center ponytail with a tiara as an accessory; her expression was cold and she wore a professional looking suit with white skirt and high heels.
Yang couldn't take her eyes off that lady at all; she only snapped out of it when the plane started to shake violently all of a sudden.
"What happened?" She turned to Ruby and soon, they felt gravity pulling them downwards with a demonic force.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please remain calm and put on your seat belt as well as the oxygen mask!" Came the pilot's panic voice from the speaker.
The white haired lady lost her balance and fell right onto Yang as she yelped. She caught her and the plane started falling with increasing velocity. It suffocated them; the blonde grabbed the lady tight with her right arm to prevent her from hitting the ceiling and her left hand was holding Ruby's icy cold hand.
"Rubes, you okay?" Yang shouted. Her entire head was so painful that it felt like exploding; she also felt nausea as the plane fell rapidly but she was managed to hold it in.
"I'm fine!" Ruby yelled back, holding Yang's hand back tightly.
The white haired girl was struggling and grabbing Yang's arm, obviously in pain as a result from the fall; her nails dug deeply into the blonde's skin.
Please don't crash!
The suitcases and things inside the plane fell towards the girls as the plane inclined to a side.
"Shit!" Yang cursed when she felt the vibration of the plane body intensified.
People were screaming and crying; some were yelling profanities at the workers on the plane, but it didn't make the situation any better.
It became gradually worse.
"We're falling! Ladies and gentlemen, prepare for the impac-"
Crash.
Some people were knocked onto the ceiling; some were thrown backwards as the plane was moving forward because of inertia before finally stopping. Some parts of the plane itself were torn and hit the passengers that weren't in the right places.
Then everything stopped.
Completely.
It was so quiet compared to the chaos that took place just a few minutes ago. There was a moment where someone groaned in pain, but other than that it was dead silent.
The blonde turned her head slightly and saw smoke and things on fire through the crack; she was covered by a layer of debris. She saw blood splatter, opened suitcases and people lying in a twisted angle.
Then she felt blood dripping from her forehead.
She looked at the fainted white haired lady in her arm, then her sister – safe and sound as she shielded the both of them with her body – and she smiled.
And then everything faded to black.

I'm not limiting the word count for this series. I'm just gonna go with the flow and see how much I can write so that it won't feel forced. So the word count in every chapter may vary.
Note: I don't know if the plane crash I wrote is accurate or not. I tried my best, and if you guys wanna correct me on anything feel free to. I accept constructive criticism, not flaming.
Anyway, thanks for reading this story. I feel like this is more of a prologue than a chapter actually. Lol.
I'm sorry!
And if you guys really like this story, I'll draw some doodles and post it on my FB page.
And done, bye!
