CHAPTER TWO

WE'RE GOING DOWN.

I pulled her to me and ducked her head down on a pillow that was resting on her knees. I did the same thing and put my arm around her. I prayed harder than I ever had in my life, here I was on a plane with the girl I had been waiting on forever. I had finally got her back into my life and the damn plane is going down in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, I prayed that Bella and I would make it through this, of course I wished everyone would but let's face it, we'll be lucky if any of us survive.

I could tell the pilots did the best they could to make sure they got us down, because the plane evened out somewhat before it hit the water. It started to flip, throwing us all over the plane, ripping the plane apart and then there was just darkness.

I don't know how long I was out but it couldn't have been long for I was under water and began to swim to the top. I reached out and grabbed a piece of the plane that was floating on the water and began to kick my legs hard to get away from the plane before it went under. The only thing I could hear was the whining of the engine as it sprayed water into the air like a large sprinkler system with a lot of force, and to top it all off, there was a storm roaring over our heads. The engine stopped when one of the seats plowed into the turbines, triggering a huge explosion, that lead to the bits of metal and fabric being plummeted into the air, causing one of the wings to shear off and sink taking the engine with it.

I looked around remembering Bella, "Oh God Bella!" I screamed loudly hoping she would be alive and heard me calling for her, "Bella!" I screamed and then stopped to listen. With my wolf hearing I was sure I would hear her even if she was weak and just moaned out a cry for help, but once again nothing.

A tear left my eye, as I prayed. "Please…Please let her be alive." I looked around it was darker than before, but I could see better than an average human. I had seen a lot of passengers floating on top of the water and I knew I had to find her fast before the plane started to sink into the ocean.

I swam around and move through the bodies in the water looking for Bella, only to find many of the passengers deiced. Then I heard the tiniest of whimpers.

I swung my head around to the sound, and witnessed someone barely moving in the water. I swam over to the barely moving person I grabbed her and flipped her over on her back. I let out the breath of air I didn't even know I was holding onto, and noticed that it was Bella. She was barely moving. The large gash on her head was weeping, and her arm looked as if it was broken.

I carefully placed her on a piece of floating wreckage I was suspended on and looked around to see if I could help anyone else. It had saddened me to see there wasn't anyone that I could help, now it was only Bella and I. I knew I had to get out of here, and fast. The plane had started to descend into the abyss and knowing it would cause a whirlpool, we would be pulled down with it so we had to get as far away from the crash scene as we could get.

Once I felt we were far enough away, I checked out Bella's wounds. I tore a piece of my shirt off and wrapped it around her head then took off my jacket and wrapped it around Bella's shoulders. I tied it to her so her arm laid across her chest and made sure it was tight enough so her arm couldn't move.

I straddled the piece of plane and brought Bella up into my arms and held her to my chest helping her to stay warm, and I watched the plane go down. I watched the pieces sink and people go down soon after, as the whirlpool sucked them under. I sighed thinking of how many people had died from this crash, and thanked god that he spared Bella and myself.

I looked around to see how close land was, and if there was any at all. It was hard to see with the rain pouring down and the hammering of the thunder ricocheting off the water, which made it louder than a normal thunderstorm sounded on land. The waves rose high, taking us with it and fell skimming us across the water until the next wave hit us and it would start all over again. I don't know how long we were out there, when the storm finally calmed to just a regular shower as the sun began to peek through the clouds and rise.

I heard Bella whimper again, and I looked down at her. She was still unconscious, and I knew I had to get her to land and take care of her wounds especially her broken arm, as soon as possible. I looked around, and saw an outline of what could be an island far off in the distance.

I laid Bella on the piece of fuselage and began to kick as fast as I could towards the island. It didn't take any time at all to get there, I pushed the piece of wreckage onto the shore, and lifted Bella up into my arms, and laid her on the sand. I picked up the piece of fuselage and positioned it so it wouldn't float off into the ocean, thinking that I may need it for something later.

I returned to Bella and checked her arm. I thanked god that she was still out of it. I found a plank of wood and some vines from one of the trees and laid it at my feet. I slowly removed the jacket I used to hold Bella's arm in place, and started to straightened out her arm. I pulled at it hard and fast, trying to put her arm back into place. She screamed in agony and passed out once again. I placed the plank of wood on her arm and wrapped it with my jacket and tied it with the vines I pulled from the tree.

I removed the material from Bella's head and checked the cut on her forehead, it seemed to be healing on its own. It had stopped bleeding, so I wrapped another piece of fabric from my shirt around it. I didn't have any antibiotic or antiseptic cream to put on the cut and I hoped it wouldn't get infected.

I looked around my surroundings, the only thing I could see was water and a lot of large boulders lined up at one end of the shore. At the other end was an opening, it looked like a cave, and behind me was trees, lots and lots of trees. I didn't know what was on the other side, but for now I had to seek shelter for myself and Bella, more so for Bella.

I leaned over and picked her up carefully and carried her in the direction of the cave. I laid her on the sand. I didn't want to carry her into the cave. I didn't know what was in there if there was some kind of animal I would have to fight I didn't want Bella in my arms. I walked in, and it looked more like a room. It was close off in the back with no exit, only an entrance which was good enough for shelter, the gods truly were looking out for us. I made sure there wasn't any kind of spiders or insects around and went out to get Bella.

I picked her up once again and took her into the cave and laid her on the ground. I went out and dragged the fuselage inside. I laid it on the ground of the cave and gathered some dead grass and banana leaves. I brought them back and laid them out on the fuselage making Bella a bed and laid her on it and covered her with a few of the banana leaves.

I glanced around the cave to see if there was anything I could use and found some flint. I walk out of the entrance and grabbed a rock and some dry sticks and more of the dead grass and larger rocks. I made a circle on the sand and piled the dead grass into the center and laid a few of the twigs on top. I placed the flint next to the dried grass and smacked it with the smaller rock until the grass started to smoke. I gently blew on the grass and in no time the twigs caught fire. I added more, after a while the twigs started to burn steady. I added a bigger piece of wood onto the fire, and when the flames rose higher, I began to add more wood so it could burn for awhile. I gathered a few more pieces of wood to last the rest of the day, then I went back to checked on Bella. She was still unconscious, as I ran a finger down her cheek and kissed her oh so lightly on her cheek.

"Don't worry honey, I'll take care of you, I won't let anything happen to you," I told her not knowing if she could hear me or not, but I knew I would die before I would let anything happen to her. I prayed she would wake up soon and hoped she wouldn't be in too much pain, then thought that maybe it was a good thing she was out at least she wouldn't be in any pain while she was. I softly ran my finger through her hair then stood up and went back to work.

I went to get a large tree limb about an inch circumference. I searched around for a rock that was pointed on one end, and began to hit one end of the stick to make it sharp. I wished I had the knife I carried in my pocket but with flying I had to leave it at home. After the stick was sharp enough at one end, I went to the edge of the water and wadded out a little and speared a few fish.

I brought it back to the fire and used the rock that had a sharp end and sheared the scales off the fish the best I could. I cut open the belly and scoped out its inners, then laid it on one of the rocks close to the fire. I did this with each of the fish, and went out and found a few coconuts. I scored it with the edge of the rock and pounded it with my fist till it broke in half. I left the milky substance inside, using a sharp rock once again, I scoped out the coconut of each one onto the leaf and kept the cocoanut shells for future use.

Once the fish were cooked through, I tasted it and to my surprise it tasted kind of good. I saved some for Bella incase she woke up. I took one of the cocoanut shells and filled it with water and placed it over the fire hoping it would boil out the salt but with no luck I knew I had to go look for a water source somewhere. Bella was still out and I began to worry, she had been out all day, the sun was starting to go down. I went in and lay down next to Bella and tried to talk to her hoping she would wake up.

"Bella honey wake up, please wake up for me sweetheart," I begged with no luck. I sighed, with my body heat being so hot to begin with I couldn't really tell if she was running a fever, it didn't feel like she was, Bella felt cool to me which usually meant she was normal and I prayed I was right. I needed to check out the surrounding area, as far as I knew there could have been civilization on the other side of those trees. I had to go see if I could find out what was around us. I went and brought the fish and the coconut milk in and set it next to Bella incase she woke up while I was gone.

I ran to the trees and took off my jeans and left them on the sand and tied my boxers to my leg and took off into the forest. I ran fast and hard I covered the whole island, it was small only five miles in circumference. I did come across a pond. I tasted the water and it was salt free, I would have to come back and get some for later. I also found a watermelon patch, some strawberries and some wild berries. I could come back to get those as well. I also found out there were some small animals on the island, rabbits mostly, how they got here I had no idea but they would work when we needed meat. We wouldn't use them much only now and again depending how long we were on the island and hopefully that wouldn't be long. I hoped they were hunting for us but I didn't know for sure how far off course we were while on the plane during the storm, hopefully they will check the surrounding islands in hope that any of the passengers lived and made it to one of them.

I made it back to the cave and phased back and slipped on my boxers and went in to check on Bella she was still out I added some more wood to the fire and laid down next to Bella and pulled her close. I hoped that if someone was searching for us they would see the fire and come save us and with that I finally drifted off to sleep.

The morning came and I looked over at Bella who was still asleep or unconscious I didn't know which, "Bella honey can you hear me?" I asked with no luck. "Bella please sweetheart wake up for me let me know your alright," I pleaded. She still didn't move, "God please let her be alright!" I prayed. I got up to check on the fire and added some more wood to it.

I walked to the beach and found that some of the luggage had floated to shore. I pulled it out of the water hoping there was something in them we could use to survive. I drug them to the cave and looked through them mostly men's clothing but there was a cosmetic bag it was lined with plastic and it was pretty big I decided to use it to hold water from the pond.

Seeing the cosmetic bag reminded me of the couple on the plane, they were just starting their lives together only to be ended in such away, I felt for their family, for all the families of the passengers on the plane that was lost.

Then it dawned on me that Bella and I were on that plane as well, our families would think we were dead, the thought of dad going through that loss was unbearable to me, and Charlie would be going through the same. At least dad had the twins Charlie only had Bella. I looked up at the sky and prayed that we get off this island soon so our families won't suffer any more than they have to.

As I continued going through the luggage I found a few things I could use, one being clean dry clothes. I could rip them up to use for Bella's wound on her head. I went in and carefully pulled off the fabric and noticed the skin around the cut was red and puffy looking, "Shit," I cried out, it infected. I removed the bandage and took the cosmetic bag to the pond, filling it with water. Once I got back I took one of the coconut shells and poor the water into it. I placed it over the fire. After awhile it began to boil. I pulled it off and let it cool, and started to go through the bags again. I was lucky to find some medication, some antibiotic's and some Neosporin ointment.

I know you're not supposed to use someone else's medicine but I had no choice, Bella could die from this infection. With the water and a clean piece of rag, I dipped it into the water and cleaned the area. I opened one of the antibiotic gel tabs and sprinkled it onto Bella's tongue. I knew it would have a bitter taste but if I gave her water she couldn't swallow. I just hoped that by pouring it on her tongue it would melt and get into her blood stream quicker. I did take a few drops of water and dropped it on her tongue. I spread some of the ointment on her wound and I wrapped her head with one of the clean rags I made from one of the shirts from the suitcase.

"Bella honey please wake up for me please honey, can you hear me baby." I asked but still nothing, "Please let this work," I begged.

I ran back to the forest and picked some berries and grabbed one of the watermelons and brought it back. When I got back I cleaned the berries and placed them in one of the bowls I made. I found a pocket knife in the cosmetic bag that I cut up the watermelon with it. I placed it in one of the smaller bags and zipped it up to keep it from going bad in the sun and put it in the cave for later. I went fishing again, and this time it was easier with the pocketknife to cut up the fish to fry it over the fire.

I started marking the wall of the cave for everyday we were on the island, it had been a week already and Bella still hadn't woke up. I was really starting to worry about her. I had ran out of the antibiotic's I found and was applying to the cut on Bella's head. It was looking much better but I just hoped it was enough.

That night Bella began to shiver. "Bella, wake up honey, are you cold? Please tell me your just cold sweetheart," she didn't answer, she was running a fever.

I ran to get more of the banana leaves and I added a lot of wood to the fire. I laid down next to her and wrapped myself around her, I tucked her head into my shoulder, she shook for awhile, but then she finally stopped. Bella had sweat pouring off of her and I felt like I was in a sauna but I didn't move, she had to stay warm. Finally I fell asleep, I felt like I was dreaming, someone was calling to me from far away, and it was getting closer.

"Jake…Jake….Jake…" I opened my eyes and heard the sweet voice of Bella, "Jake…" I turned to look at Bella.

"Bella, Bella…oh Bella I was so worried about you, how do you feel sweetheart?" I asked her as I sat up and looked down on her.

"I'm burning up Jake get off of me," she said, as I moved over and chuckled, looking at her.
