Finn's POV

I groaned and opened my eyes. Luckily I had buckled my seatbelt, as the seat was upside down. I found myself staring at the ground. I carefully unbuckled myself, slipping down and testing each limb. Besides a dull throb in my ankle, I seemed to be fine. Maybeck! Willa! I remembered, realizing that I needed to find my two companions. Maybeck had been sitting close to me, he shouldn't be far. Willa had been at the back of the plane, not buckled in. I knew I needed to find them.

"Hey, is everybody all right?"

I recognized the voice as Maybeck's, though weakened." Maybeck?" I responded, trying to move towards the sound of his voice.

"Finn?" Maybeck replied.

I could see him now. He seemed to be stuck in some sort of a hole. I reached out for his hand, and helped him get out. Once Maybeck was standing, he gave me a concerned look.

"Where's Willa?"

"I don't know! She hasn't said anything yet. Willa? Willa!" I called, scanning the wreckage. Nothing.

"Hey, dude! Over here!" Maybeck yelled.

I dashed over to where he was crouched. It was Willa. She was unconscious, and only her head, one hand, shoulders, and upper chest was visible. The rest of her was buried underneath the smoldering plane. Maybeck had been tugging at the metal, trying to lift it. Trying, but failing. I moved to Willa's other side, also putting my hands under the debris and pulling upwards. After about fifteen minutes of this, she was finally freed. Only then did I scan our surroundings.

"We landed in the middle of a dense pine forest." I told Maybeck, who had picked Willa up bridal-style. He pointed in a different direction.

"There's mountains too. I'm thinking we landed somewhere close to the Rockies." He replied.

I shrugged sadly." We need to find the others. Amanda..." Her name came out as a moan. Maybeck solemnly nodded.

"Charlie too. And Philby. And Jess. They're probably worried sick." He muttered.

"I hope they're alright." I mumbled, before straightening up." The plane was going in that direction," I pointed, " So that's where we should go."

"Dude," Maybeck interrupted," I don't want to sound harsh, but Willa's still out cold. She may be light, but I doubt I can carry her very far."

I facepalmed. In my worryness, I had nearly forgotten about my little sister." We have to try. If you find you can't carry her, I will. Come on, we need to move." I responded. Once again, Maybeck nodded, and started walking in the direction I had pointed too. I walked next to him, and took Willa's hand." Please wake up. We need you here." I murmured. When she didn't open her eyes, I sighed. Maybeck gave me a concerned look, which I responded to by a flick of my wrist.

"Don't worry dude. We'll find them. Willa will wake up." He said calmly.

I looked at him, puzzled." Since when are you so positive?"

He shrugged." Fine. We're all going to die. Willa will never wake up, and we will never see the others again. Is that better?"

Even though I know he was joking, some of the words hit home. What if he was right? What if... Stop it Finn. Control yourself. We will see each other again. Stay positive. I told myself before mentally kicking Maybeck in the stomach.

"But seriously, I really think everything will be okay." Maybeck continued.

I sighed once more. And I really hope you're right Maybeck...

Charlie's POV

It isn't fun, waking up in the middle of a plane crash.

It was screams that had shaken me out of my previously peaceful slumber, and I noticed that we were ultimately falling. Amanda was screaming Finn's name, Philby was yelling Willa's name, and Jess was trying to calm Amanda down.

First thing I noticed; Maybeck, Finn, and Willa had dissapeared.

Second thing I noticed; Half of the plane was gone. I stared at the open sky. Then it hit me. Why Amanda was yelling and trying to escape Jess's grasp. Why Philby was also freaking out.

Finn, Maybeck, and Willa must've been on the other part of the plane...

I tried to sit up, but the plane had other ideas. It spun, hit something, then crashed into the ground. Although I was wearing a seatbelt, the impact reverbrated throughout the entire plane. My hand snapped backwards, and suddenly I was filled with searing pain.

Then I blacked out.

"Charlie? Charlie wake up!"

I groaned, and opened my eyes. Philby was standing over me. I looked over to my right; my wrist was bound tightly with a makeshift bandage. Philby caught my gaze, and he seemed to read my mind.

"Your wrist was dislocated. I had to pop it back into place." He answered my silent question.

I looked around, seeing Jess huddle over an injured Amanda.

"She fractured her upper arm. She'll be alright. At least there was no serious injuries." Philby said.

I gave him a creeped out look." How did you do that?"

He frowned." Do what?"

"You read my mind! Twice!" I practically yelled. All eyes were on me. Philby laughed.

"I could tell by the look in your eyes." He chuckled.

I lightly punched his shoulder teasingly.

"We need to find the others." Amanda mumbled in a hoarse voice.

I nodded, standing up. Philby must've gotten me out of my seat, as the wreck was a couple hundred yards away. As far as I could tell, we were in the middle of a group of mountains. Luckily we landed in a valley... but it would still be hard to travel through the mountains.

Once again, Philby seemed to read my thoughts." We have to try and cross the mountains, maybe even get on higher ground. The others can't be too far away; if we climb up one of the mountains, we should be able to see where their part of the plane landed. It's a long shot, but it's our only choice."

Amanda nodded, also standing up. Jess looked concerned for her older sister, but she gave me a grim smile. Philby looked just plain worried. Probably worried for Willa... Can't blame him, I am too. But she's smart. And I can't say I'm not worried for Maybeck... Shut up Charlene. They're fine, I just know it. I mentally scolded myself.

"How about this. Jess and I will head up the mountains. Philby, you'll stay here with Amanda, just in case her arm starts hurting again." I instructed, not really expecting them to listen. Oddly enough, they all just nodded.

And so, our adventure began, with me and Jess climbing up a mountain, Philby and Amanda staying put. Little did we know that finding our friends will be a whole lot more complicated then just climbing up a mountain.
