Chapter 5.

"Jill?"

Jill woke up when someone was carefully shaking her shoulder. She slowly opened her eyes and met Justin's eyes.

"Hey girl. How are you feeling?"

She blinked hard a few times.

"A bit dizzy."

She looked around, trying to remember where she was. Everything was fuzzy, and the world was slightly spinning. She saw a beach. Oh yeah. The plane crash. She remember walking over to the beach, she must have fallen asleep.

"You probably have a concussion. Come on, we need you to get out of the sun. Let's get you something to eat and drink, and get you over to the shelter we just finished."

Jill nodded slowly, and Justin helped her to her feet. She grabbed on to him for a minute as her world spun. He held her tight, and as the world settled down, she looked over at the others. They were all sitting around a fire, inside a big shelter made out of big leafs and trees.

"How long have we been here?"

"Almost five hours."

Jill nodded, blinking a few times, in the same time as she sat down, next to Andrea. Andrea handed her a box with airplane food, chicken. Jill had never been much for airplane food, but now she finished all of it in a second. It's not like she had much of a choice.

"How much do we have?"

"Just two of those per person. The other one's pasta. Since that will hold on longer before it goes bad, we thought we'd start with the chicken." Justin answered.

"How much water do we have?"

"About a gallon per person. But there's a stream just half a mile up the woods, with fresh water, John and Andrea found it."

"Sounds good." Jill smiled shortly, and nodded, which she immediately regretted, as a wave of nausea went through her. She closed her eyes, and as she opened them again, John handed her a coconut.

"Here, it will do you good."

She nodded and she drank parts of it, before putting her head into her hands.

"You sure you're okay?" Andrea asked, putting her arm around her shoulders.

"I don't know. My head hurts."

"You need to rest. Come on. We grabbed some blankets and pillows from the plane before we left it, and we made two shelters, boys and girls." Justin smiled.

"Sounds great." Jill smiled tiredly.

Justin rose to his feet and helped Jill up. They just walked a few steps before Jill bent over and threw up in the bushes. She could feel everybody's eyes looking worried at her. Justin held her, and Andrea went up from her seat to hold Jill's hair. Jill saw in the corner of her eye how Mike walked up to them, handed Jill a bottle of water. Jill had a few sips, and then Justin helped her over to the shelter where she slid down towards one of the blankets and pillows. Justin carefully looked her over, checked her reflexes, checked her pulse. He was worried, and hoped it was nothing more serious than just a concussion. It only took a few minutes before Jill fell asleep again, totally exhausted.

Justin looked at her for a few seconds before he joined the rest of the gang.

"She doesn't look to good." Mike said, biting his lip.

"Hopefully it's just a concussion. She'll feel dizzy and nauseas for a while."

"What if it's more than just a concussion?"

"Let's hope it's not."

"But what if it is?"

Justin took a deep breath.

"IF she's having cerebral hemorrhage, she'll probably not make it through the night. But I don't think it's that bad. We'll just have to keep watching her. If she lose unconsciousness again, get seizures, gets a fever, or begins to recover, and then get worse… Well, then it's probably too late. We don't have any type of equipment to help her. Let's just keep an eye open, and let her rest as much as possible, make sure she's eating and drinking, especially if she keeps vomi-"

"Guys… What's that sound?" Jess suddenly interrupted him.

They all got quiet, and listened for a while. Then they all heard something in the bushes, and then they all gasped when a huge creature walked out of the bushes just about 30 feet away.

"Does anyone know what that is?" Andrea whispered.

"It looks like a komodo dragon." Mike said. "I've read about them. It's the worlds largest lizard, they can grow up to almost 10 feet long, and they can weigh up to 155 pounds."

"Are they dangerous?"

"I've never heard about them attacking people. They mostly eat cadavers, spineless animals and birds, as far as I know."

"Well. Let's not anger it." Jess suggested, and the others agreed, watching how the enormous, but yet beautiful, reptile walked passed them.
