Chapter One: Impact.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hilary Tabitana's back ached. So did her neck too. She moved slightly, keeping her eyes closed, though that did nothing to shield the sun out of her eyes. She opened them, quickly adjusting to the bright sun. Trees had grown in her bedroom and from what she remembered, the last time she was awake, she was on a plane and not in her bedroom that had trees. "Uh…" She moaned, sitting up but something heavy around her waist kept her grounded. An arm wrapped around her stomach, kept her ground. She looked behind her and shrieked.

"What the fuck!" Kai Hiwatari said, rolling over, lifting his arm off Hilary's stomach.

Hilary scrambled up to her feet. "Oh my god!" She exclaimed, looking around at the mass amounts of tree's and bushes. "Where are we?!" She asked.

Kai stood up, brushing his pants off. "Somewhere a lot of trees are." He said, looking at Hilary.

Hilary opened her mouth to say something, but decided against it. She looked down and saw she was wearing a long white cotton sundress and strappy sandals. Something was off with her outfit, something she couldn't point out. "I wonder where the others are." She said, looking around.

"Hopefully, they're safe." Kai said, looking at Hilary. "Then, they could be dead." He said.

"Don't say that." Hilary said. "They could be alive still!"

"Do you really think that?" He asked. Hilary didn't reply. "We better get moving." He said, walking off towards the east.

Hilary followed him. She stopped after a few feet, leaning up against a tree. She hitched the bottom of her dress up to about her knee. A large, deep cut that was a good six inches long was on her left leg. "Oh god." She breathed.

Kai stopped. "Are you okay?" He asked.

Hilary dropped her dress, and walked towards him. "Of course, let's keep going." She said, walking past Kai.

"Hilar-" Kai had started to say, before Hilary ran into a branch that was her head height that she hadn't noticed. Kai helped her up. "I'll lead." He said.

Kai and Hilary had been walking for hours, not finding anything or anyone. Hilary groaned, her leg and feet were both in pain. "Can't we stop?" She asked, for the millionth time, leaning up against a tree. Kai stopped nearby, rubbing his eyes and temples. Hilary frowned. She could hear thumping from behind that was coming closer, and closer. "Can you hear that?" She asked Kai.

Kai raised an eyebrow. The ground around them began to shake. "Let's go!" He said, grabbing Hilary's arm dragging her behind him as they ran away from the thumping noise.

Hilary kept stumbling. "Oh my god! I'm going to die!" She screamed, her left leg giving out slightly. They stopped in front of a small, river.

"Come on." Kai said, as he started to cross it. Hilary stayed put. "Hilary! Move it!" She finally crossed the river when the thumping stopped.

"Thank-k g-god it st-top-ped." Hilary said through chattering teeth. Her left leg was in a lot more pain now after all the running, and her dress was going see through. She watched Kai stare at her for a moment, and quickly looking away with his cheeks going slightly pale pink. Hilary moved, slightly as if she was listening to something.

"What's wrong?" Kai asked, giving her odd looks.

"Sh." Hilary said, walking away.

Kai followed her, as she led them into lesser trees and softer ground. "Do you smell that?" He asked her.

Hilary nodded. "I think we're close to an ocean." She stopped. Kai almost bumped into her. "Holy crap." She said, as she stared at the golden sand in front of her, that led to a sparkling blue ocean. "Just where are we!" She exclaimed, running out into the sand.

Kai followed her, watching her as she ran towards the ocean's edge like a little kid. He looked up at the sky, and thought, 'Just where are we?'
