Survivors:
Chapter 1, the flight:
"DON'T FORGET YOUR SPARE CLOTHES PJ!" PJ's mum yelled. "MUM…don't worry I packed everything I need!" PJ was a 28 year old. Not your average 28 year old but he was 28. He was about to catch a flight to California. He had long brown hair that was pulled into a tight ponytail. And he was a bit on the tubby side. "I have to leave now mum!" he yelled. "See you soon mum" And with that, he pulled his luggage out to the street. He got into his cab and was driving off to the airport. He put his headphones on and listened to his mp3 until the cab stopped directly outside of the airport doors. He strolled calmly in and waited in line to receive his ticket. When he got to the front of the line he noticed a pair of Korean people whispering to each other. Now PJ doesn't know who they are but they were going to catch the same flight as him. The lady was called Chin Ho and the man was named Bae. They stood there arguing in whispers. PJ couldn't understand them as they were speaking Korean but he suddenly turned around because the lady at the desk began to speak. "Um, excuse me sir but I need you to pay for an extra seat. It turns out that people your size and weight must have two seats. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience." The woman politely said. PJ was about to lose it but calmed himself down and just payed double the air fare. Maybe mum was right…he does need to lose some weight. He waited calmly in his seat, waiting for his plane to begin boarding. Then, he finally heard them call out "Flight to California on air travel Australia may now board the plane." PJ took a deep breath and got up. He walked through the tunnel into the plane and sat in his two seats. He loosened his shoulders and fell asleep listening to his music.
Meanwhile, Chin Ho and Bae were lifting their luggage into the luggage compartments. As they moved to sit down, a kindly looking man smiled at them. His name was Benjamin and he was blind in one eye. He also had blurry vision in the other but had become accustomed to the way things looked. He also sat down and buckled his seat belt straight away. The Korean pair lay back in their chairs hoping that the flight would be over quickly. They were looking forward to the holiday they were going to have. The pilot called out a message saying the plane was taking off and everyone put their seatbelts on except for Ben. He had done his earlier. The plane soared through the sky at the normal speed and everyone relaxed in their seats.
"I'm going to go brush my teeth ok Kailie?" a young man called Jake said to his sister Kailie. "Ok, but please hurry. You know I don't like flying alone." Kailie said reluctantly. Jake smiled and walked off slowly to the bathrooms. All of a sudden, the plane made a massive jolt and all the people in the plane sat upright. The seat belt sign came on and the passengers followed the instructions. Jake came running to his seat, with a clean mouth and his cheeks were a bright pink colour. He put his seat belt on and held his sisters hand as quickly as his hand would allow him to grasp her cold and shaking palm. There was another massive jolt from the plane and this time, there were a couple of screams. Then, the plane turned to face straight down and that's when everyone knew they were plummeting to the ground or the sea.
A young girl called Emily was sitting in her seat and she was clenching her teeth together as tight as she dared. She clamped her hands around the arms of her seat and a tear was trickling down her face. A man called Mason turned his head and promised her one thing. "I promise I will be here for you til the end." Obviously, Emily was happier and she moved a bit closer to him. They held hands and as the plane went down, the back of it fell of. The people in the back of the plane also fell out and there were high pitched screams from every corner. Then they crashed into a beach type area and most of the people were unconscious. All except for PJ who had his extra weight to help support him and it helped create a soft landing for him. There were fires and screams, metal pieces flying through the air and a single man lying on the floor, with a big slab of metal in his chest. "WHO'S A DOCTOR HERE?" PJ called to the rest of the distressed people. "I AM! GET OUT OF THE WAY, MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!" it was the man that had held Emily's hand during the fall. Mason grabbed the man on the floor and yanked the piece of metal out of the man's chest. "He needs stitches and antibiotics. Someone help me move him into the shade." A bunch of people grabbed the man and dragged him into the shady area. They all stood back and let Mason do his thing. "Does anyone have and sewing string or stitching string?" Mason asked in a frantic manner. "I do!" said Kailie. She pulled out a roll of string from her emergency sewing kit and Mason took it. He immediately started to sew up the cut with the sewing needle from the kit. "We need to let him rest. Everyone help the others and bring the wounded to me!" Mason instructed. They scurried off towards the plane and started to spread out and help people.
Ben was lying on the floor, one of the unconscious people. As he woke up, he opened his eyes. What was this? He could see everything. No blurry vision and … he wasn't blind? "YAHOO" Benjamin yelled. He did a little jig and suddenly came to his senses. He was on a beach in an unknown island. That's when he raced over to help other people. And he heard a cry. "WHERE IS HE! BAE WHERE ARE YOU!" Chin Yo was screaming at the top of her lungs. And then it happened. She turned and saw a giant sabre-toothed tiger, the same size as the White house and it was running towards the people. They all realised and fled into the jungle. They dragged a person each and they took cover in branches and under trees. The tiger let out an almighty roar, he ran away and the people came out of hiding. "Ahhh.h.…" a sound came from underneath a chunk of the plane. "BAE!" cried Chin Yo. The people all joined in to lift the chunk. The effort finally got the plane part to move and as it fell onto the damp floor, Bae shuddered and gulped in some air. "BAE! BAE! DON'T GO! I NEED YOU PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!" "Chin, please. He won't be able to make it. You have to let him go." Mason said with a sad tone. "I have sympathy for you but he cannot make it in his condition." Chin began to cry into her hands and she grabbed Bae. Bae grabbed her too and hugged her one last time. He then took in his last breath before his soul rose out of his body and floated towards the sky.
