Chapter 1 Accident
It was quiet down deep, a water cavern filing your senses; you can't think, your eyes are blurred with salt, all around is blue and opaque.-Laura Nevin-Getty, March 21, 1992, the anniversary of her return.
The ocean was warm, salty and dry; they had been swimming for hours, the plane had gone down in a flurry of smoke and flames. The teenagers and children floundered in the waves, of both genders and ages 8-17. Each time a wave came, more were pulled under and their pleas washed out. "Find the raft!" yelled one of the boys, his brunette hair clinging to his brow; he had the injured pilot in his arms. He dove under again, a young woman was being dragged under. Her dark blonde hair, cut medium length flowed out in front of her. The young man grabbed her around her slim waist and pulled her up. The young woman coughed and sputtered when they reached the surface. "Thank you." "Your welcome, I'm going to get the raft." "Huh?" he dove under again, the raft blew into a boat of hope. The teens and children climbed in, another young woman with short reddish blonde hair, was doing her best to comfort the whimpering younger children. Of all the hundred and fifty teens and children on the plane, only thirty were left on the dark raft. They floated towards an island, a dark spot in the cerulean ocean; immediately when they reached the island four young men jumped out and helped guide the raft into shore. The island was huge, covered with jungles and two mountains, it had two peninsulas, in between was a sandbar and beach. At last they made it to the beach, they dragged their wet and weary bodies to a clearing in the jungle. One of the young men had a ripped up cast, he was sitting on a fallen tree, he then took out a small stick rubbed it and green light emanated from it. "Where does the light come from?" asked a small boy with buck teeth. "From some kind of chemical." said the young man, birds were shrieking and calling out, everyone shivered. "It will be pitch black in a few minutes, we should go through everyone's names and ages" said a fat boy with glasses. "Good idea." said the young man holding the green glowstick. "Start over here with the girls." said the fat boy. "I'm Laura Nevin, 15.5,from the Angels Academy." said the dark reddish blonde with medium length hair and cobalt eyes. "April Capston, 16, also from Angels Academy." said the short haired strawberry blonde with aqua eyes. " Sara Darren, 15, from Angels." said the reddish brunette pulled in a ponytail and green eyes. "Faye Tristan, 15, from Angels." said the curly honey brunnette, with light blue eyes. "Tabitha Gables or Tabby, 15, from Angels." said the black hair with chocolate highlights, and green eyes. "Chava Goldstein, 15, from Hebrew Girls School." said a long haired dark brunette with grey eyes. "Rosaline Hebbe, or Rosie, 16, also from Hebrew Girls School." said a curly reddish brunette hair pulled into two French braids with green eyes and freckles. "Holly Michal, 16 Braedurn School." said a curly redhead with blue eyes. "Ella Brett, 16, also Braedurn." said the long haired brownish blonde with blue grey eyes. "Annalise Machadden, Anna, Lise, Annie or Allie, 14, from the German Embassy." said the light brunette with red highlights, with light blue eyes. "Lyla January, 14, from
Angels." said a small redhead with blonde highlights and green grey eyes. They had gone through most of the girls and then it was on to the boys. "Ralph Getty, 16, Military Academy." said the young man with the ripped up cast and messy brown hair. "Jack Furrh, 17, Military Academy" said the tall blonde with bright blue eyes. "Tyler Pipoly, Piggy, 15, Military Academy." said the fat boy with glasses, this caused choruses of laughter. "Simon Dale, 16, Military Academy." said the curly haired light brunette with bright blue eyes. "Pedro Delgado, 14, Military ." said the young man of Mexican descent with black coarse hair and dark brown eyes. "Roger Rule, 16, Military." said the brunette cut in a bowl shape and grey eyes. "Tex, 16, Military." "Bill, 16, Military." "Tommy, 15, Military." "Sheraton, 16, Military." "Wemys Patterson, 15, Military." "Sam and Eric,11, Military." said a set of twin boys with brown hair and eyes. "I guess that's everyone." said Piggy adjusting his glasses. "I'm hungry." said a little boy with dark blue eyes and short blonde hair. "Yea me too, and thirsty." said another small boy, all the other boys nodded and said a quiet 'yes'. "We are all thirsty and hungry." said Ralph. "We should sleep first and explore tomorrow." said Ralph, as he said that everyone realized how tired they were and began to find a place to sleep. Laura and April fell asleep next to each other, everyone else curled up in a big pile, Captain Benson lay in the protective arms of a fallen palm tree.
