Chapter 4: Where are we?

The sun was setting, although gratefully, slowly. Mina was now starting to worry about where Nathaniel had got to, he should've been back an hour ago, and none of the other students had returned either.

Mina wrapped a bandage around someone's arm after pulling out a few foreign objects here and there. The boy was grateful; he was tall, and broad, the silent type too. When Mina had pulled out the objects, he had barely even flinched let alone grimaced from the pain, yet she could see the pain, and how much it hurt in his eyes. Mina gave him something to drink.

"So what's you name?" Mina asked.

"Sabre," The boy replied. Looking at him for a moment, Mina wondered who he was. He was tall, spiky black hair and brown eyes, wearing a pair of baggy jeans, and a torn top, probably from the plane accident. The boy moved only to find that he couldn't move, "Ungh…where's Elisa?"

"Elisa?" Mina asked, "Let's make sure you're okay first, can you stand?" Sabre tried again, but instead of being pinned to the ground like his body wanted him to, he forced his muscles to work together to help him stand up. Sabre was built muscular naturally, and he seemed to be naturally strong too. He then began to move much to Mina's approval though she didn't see how much it was hurting him to take each step.

"Elisa," Sabre called. A girl suddenly appeared as if from nowhere.

"Sabre, you're okay!" The girl exclaimed running into and embracing Sabre in a tight hug. The girl stepped back for a moment out of the embrace.

"You've cracked your ribs Sabre," The girl said. The girl had long brown hair, tied up into a pony tail, her eyes were green, glistening with tears as she felt Sabre stumble against her. Elisa the girl held him up.

Mina just watched in awe, how did she know he had cracked his ribs, why was she crying? Shouldn't she be happy that she has just found him? These thoughts circled around in her head before she pushed them to one side.

"Hey Elisa there you……what's happened to Sabre?" Kat came running over watching Elisa lower Sabre to the floor.

"He just collapsed against me. I think his ribs are broken, he's also got an arm injury," Elisa replied softly as she stroked Sabre's face. It was at this point that Mina clicked, she was usually faster at this point, and maybe all the shock of recent events had dulled her senses.

"I'm going to check up on another patient," Mina said although doubtful she had been noticed and she scuttled off quickly.

Present Time (John's POV)

He had taken control of the cockpit for himself, much to the teacher's objections, but after he had cleaned it out she didn't really have a leg to stand on. At this moment, John was fiddling about with some of the electrics under the dash board trying to re route the power so that he could power up the navigational power.

"Hmm," John said as he twisted two wires together. He flicked the power switch, "And then there was life." Then he took the manual for the plane that he had found in a cabinet and began to look up the Navigational settings. They were relatively easy to find, the small radar which showed usually small planes, was now completely blank, the electric compass was spinning and the GPS said: Connection Unavailable.

"What the?" John stared at the small blue screen, "Connection unavailable, where the hell are we?" He tapped the compass; the altitude metre didn't display anything useful anyway. There was nothing that showed him where he was at all; it was as if they had disappeared off the face of the earth.

Quietly John went back to work this time, not to figure out where he was but to repair the cockpit so that it would function normally.

Present Time (Kai's POV)

'Finally,' Kai thought, 'The sun is finally setting.' The sun was indeed setting, and he was on the beach, towards the edge of the island. Looking out to sea, he watched as the moon began to rise into the sky, just like a sun rise. Why was it so big? The stars began to twinkle in the darkening sky one after another.

Kai stood up. The moon was indeed unusually big especially since it was supposed to be getting further and further away from earth. Then to his disbelief, a second moon began to rise, except it was white or a pale blue like the first, but a pale red. Kai's jaw dropped as he looked up to see the stars. They were set in patterns that he didn't recognize at all. Nothing seemed right.

"Where are we?" Kai murmured before turning around and running back into the woods. 'Why was everything so different?' Kai thought as he ran through the trees, 'Why are there two moons? Most of all, what the…?' Kai stared as he looked up into the sky.

Fifteen minutes before (Nathaniel's POV)

Already he had shown them, how to cut the leaves so that they would connect together, not only to be water tight, but to hold large quantities of water, and the team of volunteers were filling the make shift water carriers up with fresh water.

"Hey Cassy come over here," Nathaniel called as she poured another coconut shell full of water into the make shift water carrier.

"Okay," The girl called Cassy called back, fastened up the water carrier and came over. Cassy was a relatively tall girl, her long blonde hair tied up in a pony tail, so that it wouldn't get in her way. Light blue eyes lit up her almost pale face.

"Cassy I want you to draw up a map of the area," then he tossed her a ball of string, "Also I want you to track our way back with this so it will be easier to come here again." Cassy nodded and then thought for a moment.

"I don't have any paper," Cassy said, "Or anything to write with." Nathaniel thought for a moment.

"Okay, just mark our way back then. You can do the map tomorrow when we do have paper," Nathaniel said. Cassy nodded and began to help someone else load up water into their carrier. Looking up, Nathaniel's jaw dropped.

"What on earth…" Nathaniel looked up. There was a huge swirl in the darkening sky, a spiral of what seemed like thin green clouds. Then it disappeared as quickly as it had come, "Everyone. Load up we're heading back." Everyone turned to see Nathaniel picking up his own water carrier. Some of them had devised small contraptions that would allow them to carry more water.

They made their way back.
