Sabrina stopped and looked and the sea. Turned around just to face an amazing amount of palm trees that faded into others. At her back, the opening of a deep forest, leading probably at the other side of the island. She didn't want to get there, who knows what creatures lurked beneath the shadows.
She gazed at the deep wound, right below her diaphragm. She inhaled and exhaled. It hurt. Something had hit her underwater. Something blunt, as far as she could understand. Trying not to think of it, she opened her backpack and reached for her wallet. She opened it and smiled at the little document hidden inside. At the bottom of the bag she had shoved a big hunter knife she found in someone's suitcase on the beach after the crash. She sighed and took a piece of wood, starting to scrape it.
A sound caught her attention. She turned to see the blond girl from before. She smiled and Sabrina nodded unconcerned. The other one followed her.
''Here!'' yelled Jill and pointed Sabrina. ''There she is!''
The other girl smiled to.
''Hi.'' Sabrina said and kept her eyes on her knife.
''Are you okay?'' Kelly asked.
''More or less. You guys?''
''Shaken. But in one piece. Unlike that stick of yours.''
Sabrina laughed as her stick broke in two. She left it down and nodded to them.
''Sit. We gotta do somethin' ''
She threw the knife back to her bag and tried to smile.
''So... does any of you have someone who'll search for her?''
Kelly shook her head. None.
''I have. My mom and my sister will. You?'' said Jill enthusiastically.
''Me?''
''Yeah, do you have someone? By the way... I'm Jill. She's Kelly.''
''Sabrina.''
''Well?''
''Nope. Just... Forget it. Nobody. So we count on you eh... Jill right?''
''Yeah.'' she said uncomfortably and stood silent, something really rare for her.
Kelly gave her an anxious look. She had seen the knife. She had absolutely no intention of trusting that ''Sabrina''. She just looked like a punk. Sabrina probably sensed that and returned the look, her eyes wild again, but didn't say a thing.
''So... should we try to find any survivors?'' asked Jill, totally unaware of the little ''situation''.
Sabrina shook her head.
''I don't think there are any. After the explosion everyone who could have been alive
is now just tossed somewhere.''
''What explosion?'' frowned Kelly.
''The turbine went of.''
''Oh...''
''Yeah. You were lucky we noticed you, ya know.'' smiled Jill and sighed. ''So what?''
''I say we try and stay alive as much as possible.'' added Sabrina and got up under the keen eyes of Kelly, who still was suspicious.
''We?'' she asked, lifting an eyebrow.
Sabrina looked her in the eye.
''You really don't like me, do ya?'' she said suddenly.
Kelly got up too.
''I didn't say anything like that.''
''You don't need to.''
Sabrina turned her back and started searching through her backpack again. Jill stared and Kelly felt guilty. Who was she to judge? After all she was also considered a punk.
At least not a dangerous one... she though to herself.
''I'm sorry. I didn't have that intention.'' she said diplomatically.
Sabrina turned and grinned.
''It's okay.''
She zipped it and sat down.
''Okay. If it ain't ''we'' then what is it? Do you think any of us can survive alone? We still don't know where we are.''
''I said I'm sorry. Of course we have to be together. What is your idea?''
''I say we travel through the forest. But in the morning. Not now.''
''Creepy, but rational. If it isn't an island, then we'll find civilization, somewhere. I have a better idea. I suggest we walk along the beach till we make a circle. I don't want to be in that forest, day or night.''
Sabrina nodded.
''Okay. Any of you guys cold?''
''I'm hungry, said Jill, causing them to laugh.
''I know. I'm too'' The other two said in union.
They looked at each other and smiled. Not that bad. For a start, anyway.
Sabrina looked at the palm trees and a smile appeared to her face.
To Kelly's disturbance she took the knife again and tested one of the trees with her hand. She placed her knife on her waist and with a leap started climbing. After falling twice she managed to get to the top.
By the time Kelly saw her hanging upside-down she started getting dizzy. Please don't fall she thought but suddenly found out that this was the same she was thinking about the plane and she zipped it. A coconut fell on her head.
''Sorry!'' hollered Sabrina and at the moonlight her face blushed.
''I'm alive!'' Kelly replied.
On the top, Sabrina raised her head. From there all the island was visible. It was an island. Far away she saw the other coast, almost mending with the horizon.
''It's an island!''
Another coconut fell but Kelly keenly avoided it.
Sabrina held tight and cut a few more, until finally letting herself slip lightly to the ground.
''Here. Sorry Jill, no hamburgers up there.'' said Sabrina, taking a coconut from the sand and wiping it on her jeans.
''Oh, well. You'll just find me a cheeseburger tree later'' she replied happily.
''I just saw a Cola one!''
''Great!''
They both laughed and watched Kelly trying to open one.
''Stupid, freaking, disgusting COCONUT!''she hissed.
Sabrina took her knife and started working on hers. Jill kicked another and smiled at a mad Kelly.
The girl was sitting on the coconut, making noises as they fought on the sand. Finally Sabrina managed to make a hole on hers and handed it to Kelly.
''Here, here. Don't kill the poor coco'. Drink this. It's like water.''
''I KNOW!''
''Don't get mad.''
''I ain't mad. Sorry. Just feeling helpless.''
''Yeah, me too. Don't worry.''
A little later they had all finished eating and they had begun to search for anything that could help them. Sabrina had informed them that as far as she saw, there was no one else there. Except the forest, which none of them particularly liked the idea of going into.
Who knows what was in there.
Or who.
