Please excuse any errors I am only in middle school! Thanks for reading!
A bright light shone through the treetops illuminating the darkened forest. In the shadows something moved slightly and a small moan came from under a bush. A young woman pushed herself upright and attempted to crawl out into the open, but collapsed a moment later. Blood leaked from a small wound on her head. Her beautiful brown hair was all in a tangle. She lay there for a moment regaining her strength before she attempted to crawl out again. This time she made it several feet before she collapsed again. Now she could see where she was, a canopy of trees surrounded her and he ground was moist as if it had recently rained. Her memory was extremely blurred, the last thing she had remembered was talking to a young man across the way from her and then everything went black. She finally stopped trying to remember what had happened and just lay there waiting and waiting.
Some time later the woman was awakened by the sound of footsteps that seemed to be heading her way. She rolled on to her stomach and lifted her head just enough to get the words help me out. A moment later a man came crashing into the clearing breathing heavily, after him came a woman with dark brown hair. The man bent over her and started to examine her head. After several moments he spoke to the woman, "take her back to the beach and prop her up against a tree far away from the wreckage." She nodded her head and began to lift up the young woman. The man took one last look towards them and then dashed into the jungle again.
FlashbackA woman stands at her chalkboard teaching Freshmen English. In the back of the room a girl leans over and whispers something to the boy next to her. When she's done he straightens up a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
It was already late in the day when the woman finally awoke again, only this time she was propped up against a tree; a folded shirt was behind her head as a makeshift pillow. Her memory was beginning to clear up, she could remember lying in the jungle, then someone dragging her to the beach where she saw it. The airplane was completely destroyed! Dead bodies hung out of the largest piece of wreckage as people ran about trying to find surviving loved ones or attempting to find any belongings. That' s when it all hit her. The plane had crashed; it had been ripped into quarters. The woman carrying her took her to spot where she could just barely see the wreckage. It was there she had stayed slipping in and out of consciousness.
FlashbackA girl is walking down a dark alleyway. In the distance a figure steps out from behind a dumpster and walks towards her. They meet half way and she quietly takes a bundle of money from her coat pocket and hands it to the man. He examines it for a moment before taking out a small film canister; he slowly hands it to her. At first she doesn't take it then in a raspy voice he whispers, "take it, you don't want to be on the bottom forever do you?" The girl looks up at him before quickly taking the canister and pocketing it. The two of them stare at eachother for a moment longer before the girl turns around and walks towards the exit of the alleyway. The man stands there until she disappears, then he too vanishes into the night.
"How does your head feel?" The woman opened her eyes to see the man that had found her. The woman looked around for a moment before answering; "it hurts like hell." A small smile pinched at the corners of her mouth. The man smiled too before saying, "you should take these it should stop the pain." The woman looked down at the pills he had handed her and said, "what are you? A doctor?" The man let out a small chuckle before answering, "names Jack, and yes I am a doctor, a spinal surgeon to be exact." "I see. Well thanks." "No problem." He replied, "oh, what's your name?" "Cassidy" she said with a smile. "Well Cassidy, let me know if you need anything." And with that the man got up and began to check in on others.
Flashback
"Hey, there you are, we missed you at the movies last night are you all right?" A girl with a pink sweatshirt on had a worried expression on her face. "Yeah Steph, why?" "It's just that you haven't been yourself lately." "Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Actually this is the best I've ever been." "Ok, well if you need anything just give me a holler." "Sure." And with that Cassidy headed down the hallway to her next class.
Later that afternoon a large man who introduced himself as Hurley brought around food and water to everyone. Cassidy had never been so happy to see food and s she quickly ate it. Reaching up to her forehead she felt her cut and was happy to know that it had stopped bleeding. She leaned back against the tree, the warm sun on her skin and she slowly drifted into an uneasy sleep.
Cassidy was jolted awake by the sound like a dinosaur and what seemed to be heavy footfalls. About fifty yards away a large group of people stood staring out into the jungle as trees bent back and forth. Finally the noise receded into the jungle and silence once again settled over the jungle.
