It al happened so sudden. One minute, Lexa was excited to go home, the next she was worried if she would survive. Knowing that it could be over, any second, didn't scare Lexa. She had been through much worse.
Lexa was watching out the window when it happened. She saw a fire coming from the engine on the left wing of the plane. The plane started to shake, and she saw the terrified looks from all the people around her. One girl in particular, got Lexas attention. It was a blonde girl with sparkly blue eyes sitting on the other side of the aisle. The girl was extremely calm and held hands with a man next to her, trying to calm him down.
The Captain of the plane was on the speakers a few seconds later. Lexa couldn't even forget his message if she wanted to: ''Thank you for chosing American-Airlines. Please put on your life-vests and follow the safety instructions from the crew. We won't be able to make it to Sydney''.
After that there was a total silence for a few seconds before all hell broke loose. People were screaming, trying to put on their life-vests, screaming at the crew. But one sound in particular made Lexa cring a little, it were little children, crying for help. But Lexa remained calm, francly she wasn't scared to die. She knew her day would come someday. When she was sent on her first mission in Afghanistan, she was scared to death. But as days passed, so did her fear to die. Life wasn't all black and white as people made it out to be, and she knew that.
The last things she remembered was being thrown around, and the oxygen masks that appeared from the ceiling of the plane. Lexa put on her mask as soon as she was able to reach it. After that Lexa turned to the little kid who was sitting next to her. It was a girl, not older than around 10 years old. She was crying in fear, and tried to wake up her mother, but couldn't. Lexa helped her putting on her mask, before reaching for the kids mother. But Lexa was distracted by someone who cried out for help, it came from behind her and Lexa looked at the beautiful blonde.
''Help..My seatbelt is jammed'' she cried out.
Lexa looked at the seatbelt and saw that the girl wasn't able to reach her mask. So Lexa got up and jumped towards the girl, and put her mask on. Just in time before a loud bang was heard.
...
Lexa woke up with severe head injury. Lexa opened her eyes and looked around. Sand was everywhere. It looked like a beach. ''What the hell am I doing here?'' Lexa asked confused.
Lexa sat up, slowly. Something was hurting like hell but she didnn't know where she was injured.
''The plain crashed'' Someone mumbled from Lexas right side.
Lexa knew this voice. It somehow seemed familiar to her. And when she turned around she knew why. It was the same girl that she helped in the plain, lying in the sand, just a few inches away from her.
Lexa got up slowly and crawls towards the girl, who looked badly injured.
''You're hurt pretty badly. Keep still'' Lexa said calmy to the girl, who tried to get up.
The girls showed a small laugh on her face. ''I'm pretty sure, I am not able to get up anway'' she said softly.
''Yeah I think your leg might be broken'' Lexa said worried. She looked at the girls leg, and it looked bad. The leg was bleeding and was definitely broken on multiple places. Lexa wasn't a medical expert but she had learnt a lot in the army. Her time there, made her the person who she was today.
''Funny'' The girl said ''Because I haven't felt a thing from my leg'' she said surprised.
Lexa nodded ''Yeah. I figured. You trying to get up and all'' she said teasingly.
Lexas vision cleared up after a few minutes and she stared at the girls face. It was filled with burns, but still those blue eyes stand out. The girl didn't look scared at all. She had this calmness around her, and this attracted Lexa somehow.
''Can you help me sit up?'' the girl asked, bringing Lexa back to reality.
Lexa nodded ''Sure'' she said with a smile, before helping the girl sit up.
''Thanks'' the girl said. Lexa nodded and held her up, because of her unknown, the girl was unstable and could collapse on the ground any second.
The girl studied Lexas face before talking ''You..You saved me'' the girl said, grateful.
''Really?'' Lexa asked confused. Some of the moments in the plane were still blury to her.
The girl nodded ''Yes. I am Clarke'' she smiled.
''Nice to meet you. I'm Lexa'' Lexa said with a smile before turning to the girls leg again. Lexa studied the leg and looked up to the girl ''Well atleast, it's not crushed'' Lexa said relieved.
''Good'' Clarke said with a smile. ''You should help the others, I'll be fine'' Clarke said before gesturing to Lexa to help some other girl, who was stuck in her seat.
Lexa nodded, and strumbled towards the other girl.
That's when Lexa noticed the other people around her. There were around 5 other people around and about. They too, had severe burns covering their bodies. But there were two other people, who were badly injured, one of them was someone stuck in a planeseat. But nobody looked seriously injured, that they could die from it. A large piece of the plane was nearby. ''I guess we got lucky'' Lexa thought in herself before turning to the girl.
The girl looks terrified, but recognised Lexa and was relieved.
''Stay still'' Lexa said calmy.
The girl nodded. Lexa turned around to look for a sharp object so she could cut the girls jammed seatbelt. When she found a sharp piece of metal Lexa turned to the girl and began to cut the seatbelt until the girl was free and lay down on the ground.
Lexa stood up, lifted the girl up in her arms and strumbled towards Clarke.
Clarke was still sitting on the ground when Lexa came back to her with a girl in her hands.
''Thank you for helping her'' Clarke said.
Lexa nodded and looked at the girl. ''I am Lexa'' she said to the little girl.
The girls smiled ''I'm Gilly. Clarke is my sister'' she said before pointing at the beautiful blonde.
''I figured'' Lexa said with a smile, before putting Gilly down next to Clarke.
Gilly craddled up to Clarke and tried to hold back her tears before looking at her sister ''Mummy, didn't make it, did she?'' she said before not being able to hold her tears for any longer.
''Your mother?'' Lexa asked worried.
Clarke nodded before hugging her little sister ''Yes..the woman you helped next to Gilly''.
Lexa gulped ''I haven't seen her''.
''I know. Me neither'' Clarke said worried, before flinching because of the pain.
''You okay?'' Lexa asked worried.
Clarke shook her head. But gestured for Lexa to remain silent because of Gilly who had enough worries already.
