Alright. I'm going to do a "Girl on island" story. But this one will not have girls the boys' ages. Instead, it will be three college girls.
I do not own Lord of the Flies or its 1990 adaptation.
She came to, on a beach somewhere. She rubbed the sand from her eyes and looked up. She was on an island of some sort. Then, she felt something on her shoulder. It was her purse, she had it on her when the plane went down.
"L-Laura? Elizabeth?" She groaned. She got up, her long and flowing brown hair tied back in one long braid hung down her back. She clutched her purse, shaking. What had happened to her friends who were with her?
The last thing she remembered was...
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are going to be flying into a storm. Please make sure your seat belts are tightly fastened." Said the captain. Laura was sitting next to her, reading a book. Elizabeth was sitting across the aisle, listening to a walkman.
"It'll be okay. We'll be home in a few hours." Laura assured her.
Then, the turbulance started. Then, an explosion. From what she had seen, a bolt of lightning had struck the plane and it began to go down. Air masks had dropped in front of them and she and Laura and Elizabeth put them on. All the other boys were screaming. She clutched Laura's hand as the plane nose-dived.
Then the plane struck the water and that was the last thing that she remembered.
"Laura?! Elizabeth?! Where are you?!" She screamed as she came out of shock and ran into the jungle, looking for her best friends.
"Laura?! Elizabeth?! Laura! Elizabeth! LAURA!!!! ELIZABETH!!!!" She screamed in a voice filled with fear. Her purse kept slipping down to her elbow and each time it did, she adjusted it back on her shoulder. Where were Laura and Elizabeth? Laura and Elizabeth were her very best friends in the whole world. They had been friends since kindergarten. What would she do if either Laura or Elizabeth were dead? What if they were both dead?
She ran and ran through the jungle, screaming her friends' names. When she got to the beach on the other side of the island, she was exhausted. She let her purse drop off her shoulder and onto the ground. She collapsed onto the sand. She screamed their names again and again, but in her heart she knew it was no use. She began crying. Laura and Elizabeth must be dead. She sobbed and wept and buried her head into the sand and just cried. She was alone and scared. Then, she heard a familiar voice.
The voice screamed, "JULIE!!!!"
She looked up and her heart nearly stopped, it was Laura and Elizabeth! They were alive! She got up and ran to her friends. The three of them hugged, crying tears of joy.
"Oh, Julie, thank God you're alive." Laura sniffed.
"Both of you, too." Julie said.
"Where are we?" Elizabeth asked.
"We must be on a deserted island. How did we get here?" Julie asked.
"When the plane went down, we were separated. Me and Elizabeth managed to swim here. When we didn't see you, we assumed that the worst had happened. We went to look for help." Laura replied.
They hugged again, uncertain of the future.
Laura Williams, Julie Nielson and Elizabeth Taniqua were attending college at UCLA. Laura was 23 and Elizabeth and Julie were both 22. All three girls were very attractive. Both Julie and Laura were white. Julie had very long, brown hair and Laura had blonde hair which fell to her shoulder blades. Elizabeth was African-American and had black hair which fell down to her shoulders.
Julie was wearing a bright yellow sundress that fell to her kneecaps. Laura was wearing a red t-shirt and jean-shorts and Elizabeth was wearing a blue t-shirt and green shorts.
Both Julie and Elizabeth were majoring in nursing while Laura was hoping to become a psychologist. They were very close friends, they were like sisters. They shared a dorm room and never got into fights. They had flown to Hawaii for spring break and were returning home, along with a bunch of boys who had spent time in Hawaii studying about its culture and such. When they were on their way home, a storm had hit and the plane had been struck by lightning and brought down.
"Laura, Beth, I'm scared." Julie said, clutching her friends' arms.
"It'll be okay. Maybe some of those boys on the plane are here. Come on, let's go check it out." Laura said.
Julie picked up her purse and they explored the island, holding hands so they wouldn't be separated. When night fell, they were exhausted. Then, when they were about to give up, they saw an odd green glow. They walked forward and lo! All the boys on the plane were there. The glow was from a glo-stick. The boy holding it had brown hair and looked like he was in his early teens and had his right arm in a sling.
"What's that?" one of the boys asked.
"It's a glo-stick" the other boy replied, really to no one in particular.
"How does it work?" another boy asked.
"From some kind of chemical."
"Is there any one else here, sir?" another boy asked a larger boy with blonde hair.
"It's just an island! There's nothing here!" The boy snapped back.
"I'm thirsty."
"Me too, I'm hungry."
"What if there's no water?"
"We're all thirsty and we're all hungry. Lets just try and get some sleep, and tomorrow we'll figure out what we're gonna do." The boy with brown hair said.
Julie, Elizabeth and Laura decided that now might be the time to come out.
"Excuse us..." Julie said as she approached the group. They all looked at her and Laura and Elizabeth and muttered things.
"Yes?" Asked the boy with brown hair.
"May we be with you?" Julie asked.
"Certainly. My name is Ralph, by the way." Ralph said.
"I'm Jack." Said the blonde-haired one. The girls noticed that Jack had a slight Southern accent.
"I think I saw those girls on the plane." Said a rather fat boy who had glasses.
"My name is Julie. And these are my very best friends in the whole world: Laura and Elizabeth. The three of us were returning home from spring break and we were on the plane with you." Julie introduced.
"A pleasure meeting you." Laura said.
"Pleased to meet all of you." Elizabeth added.
"It's nice to meet you three as well." Ralph said. Then he noticed that some of the boys were staring at Laura, Elizabeth and Julie. "Alright, stop checking the girls out. We need to get some sleep." Ralph said.
Laura, Julie and Elizabeth slept beside each other, wondering if they'd ever get off the island. Would they ever see their friends, families, or boyfriends again?
Chapter 2 coming soon.
