Chapter 1 – Guys, Where are we?

The sun was blaring down, burning through Em's eyelids. Her head hurt but she couldn't begin to understand why. She blinked, opening her eyes to a turquoise blue sky above her. Where the hell was she?

Em sat up bolt upright and her head spun.

'Shit, what on earth happened?' was all she could think.

After a minute to steady herself, she got up and looked around. She was amazed at the beautiful bright blue water and the turquoise blue sky. Then she heard a distant noise from her right. A scream.

She turned and ran towards it. She rounded the corner and the sight that hit her made her stop in dead her tracks.

There were bits of fuselage scattered across the beach. People were running round manically screaming for their loved ones and friends. An engine was still running and the noise it was creating pounded against Em's eardrums. A girl in a pink outfit was stood on a piece of the plane screaming, a wing hanging precariously above the scene. Em stood gob smacked as she watched three men help pull another from under a big piece of metal. Then it hit her. Jen, Nat, Sandy, Flick... She ran toward the chaos and started shouting their names.

"Jen! Nat! Sandy! Flick!" she screamed over and over as she ran, until finally she tripped and fell into the sand.

"Em! Em! Are you ok?"

"Nat!" Em yelled. "I'm fine! I'm so glad to see you! Where are the others?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen any of them since we crashed!" Nat replied, with a hint of panic in her voice. "Jen was in an awful state - she wouldn't do her seatbelt up so she went flying and knocked herself unconscious!"

"What about the others?" Em asked worriedly.

"I don't know!" Nat said. "Not got a clue what happened to them after Jen went flying… what happened to your head?"

"Oh that… a bag decided to attack me is all," Em said, shrugging it off. "That's the last thing I remember… that bloody bag…"

"Shall we try and find the others?" Nat asked.

"Yeah I think we -" Em began but she was interrupted by a squeal.

"Em! Nat!" Flick and Sandy were hurtling towards them.

"Where's Jen?" Flick asked. "Have you two seen her?"

"No," Em replied.

"I wonder where she is," Nat said worriedly.

"Let's go and see if we can find her," Flick suggested.

"Jen!" Em yelled as they walked "Jen! Where are you? Oh sorry…"

She had accidentally walked into a guy with brown-blonde hair wearing a dark and light grey striped top.

"Its okay," he smiled. "You lost someone?"

"Yeah, my sister," Em said. "She's about this high –" she gestured with her hands "- with curly brown hair."

"Sorry, can't help," he said, shaking his head regretfully.

"Oh thanks anyway… what's your name?" Em said.

"Charlie. What's yours?"

"Emily but my friends call me Em!" Em smiled. "This is Nat, that's Flick and there's Sandy. Thanks again Charlie."

"No problem! I hope you find your sister." Charlie smiled again.

They continued to hunt for a while up and down the beach and on the edge of the forest before admitting defeat.

"We can't find her," Em said sadly. "We've just… got to accept it. Andy's going to kill me if something's happened to her… "

"I…I just can't believe it," Nat muttered.

They trooped dejectedly over to where several other people were sat around a fire that someone had made and took seats together, looking somberly into the flames.

"Did you find your sister?" Charlie asked as he sat down next to Em.

"No," Em replied sadly.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Charlie said sorrowfully "Maybe you'll find her tomorrow…"

"We're not holding out much hope," Nat said dejectedly. "She was unconscious when we crashed. She wouldn't do up her seatbelt… she's stubborn like that…"

"That's Jen for you," Sandy said miserably. "A raving loony to the end…"

"Sandy!" Nat said, shocked. "She's missing, most likely dead! Show some respect!"

Charlie, Flick and Em hid a laugh.

"Would any of you like something to eat?" a rather large man asked.

"Ooh, any pineapples?" Flick asked.

"Flick!" Nat said. "You'll take what you're given! This isn't your local supermarket!"

"Yes mum," Flick said, rolling her eyes.

Em and Sandy snorted and hid their laughter.

Charlie smiled.

"I'll have something Hurley," he said.

"Not much choice I'm afraid Charlie, man," Hurley said.

"I'll take anything, I'm starving!" Charlie replied.

"Here." Hurley handed him a food tray "Girls?"

"Can I have a Veggie meal please?" Em asked politely.

"Yep, coming up!" Hurley handed over a tray to Em too.

"Anything, I'm famished!" Nat said, taking a tray off Hurley.

"Same as Nat!" Sandy said.

"Yep, me too!" Flick agreed.

Hurley handed out the meals and then wandered over to some other people.

"So where are you four from?" Charlie asked, tucking in.

"I live in England," Nat explained. "Flick here lives in Scotland, and Sandy, Em and Jen are from Australia."

"I know this sounds kinda odd but… do I know you?" Em asked.

"What? Oh… err, I doubt we met before but I er… know why you might recognize me…" Charlie muttered, blushing.

"How?" Flick said, through a mouthful of potatoes.

"I was in a band back in England… do you know Driveshaft by any chance?" he said.

"Oh my God do I? They're like my favourite band ever!" Em squealed. "You're in Driveshaft? Oh wait a minute… Charlie, the bass player! I should have known! Oh my God! Can I have your autograph? You're amazing!"

"Driveshaft? You're kidding!" Nat said in awe.

"Never!" Flick said, her mouth hanging open.

"Cool!" Sandy grinned. "Can we have a private performance?"

Charlie laughed.

"You guys like us?" he asked.

"You're the best!" Em said, open-mouthed.

"Em introduced us lot to your music ages ago! We've been fans ever since!" Sandy said excitedly.

"Can you sign my hand?" Em asked, searching her pockets. "Oh damn, I don't have a pen…"

Charlie laughed.

"I'm sure we'll be here long enough for me to give you my signature later! When we have a pen…"

"Does anyone happen to have any painkillers on them?" a man asked from behind Sandy.

"We don't," Nat said.

"Nope!" Charlie said. "Me neither."

"Okay." The man nodded. "Could one of you ask around for me? I've got a patient who really needs some… and I really want to get back to him…"

"Sure," Charlie agreed, standing up. "See you round guys…"

"Oh my God, I can't believe that's really him!" Flick said excitedly.

"He's so sweet!" Nat swooned.

"Oh my God, I'm going to…" Em started, until they noticed a rustling sound behind them. They never heard what Em was going to do as that moment a figure burst from the bushes, panting heavily…
