Chapter 3
Meredith POV:
I realize in the midst of my tears that Derek has still not been found panic rises in my chest. I don't want the last conversation we had to be a fight about where I was going to work for hopefully the rest of my long life. Christina sees the panic in my eyes and she comes over to me.
"Mer calm down we will find him. I'll go out right now with Arizona and look for him." Christina say strangely sweet
"I can't raise ZoZo alone I-I-I need him I NEED HIM!" I say breaking down again
"Arizona come here we're going to look for Derrek!" Christina yells
They head off into the woods after Christina sorta calmed down Arizona. I sit there still silently crying about the death of my sister and the possible death of my husband. I take a deep breath knowing I needed to do something about my leg before it got infected.
"Mark I need you to go to the plane and see if you can find any first aid kit or anything that could help with all of our injuries." I say sternly
"Lexie's dead the love of my love is dead." Mark mumbles before he slumps over
" MARK!" I scream
One moment he was fine and the next he just fell over sideways I knew something was very wrong with him but I couldn't move because of my leg.
"CHRISTINA! CHRISTINA!" I scream in distress
Arizona POV:
We were in the middle of searching for Derek when we heard Mer screaming for Christina. We both knew something ways wrong but we also knew that if one of us didn't come back with Derek that was also be very bad.
"Ok I'm going to go see what's going on with Mer, and I need you to keep looking for Derek. If Derek came back to camp I will come back to find you ok do you think you can keep searching for him." Christina says sternly
"Y-y-yes" I say stumbling over my words
She doesn't say anything else just takes off in the direction of Mer's screaming. I suddenly feel very alone and scared but I knew I needed to find Derek. I keep screaming his name and walking around stopping every so often to see if I can hear any footsteps or voices.
Derek POV:
I wake up and try to sit up only to realize my hand was stuck in a piece of plane and that it was almost completely severed off. I gasp and feel tears running down my face I knew that if I took my hand out of this piece of plane my hand was going to be gone. I see a rock close by to my left hand I reach to grab. I get it in my hand and start to bang on the side of the plane. I pray in side that somebody would hear I and come to my rescue. I bang the rock for what seems like hours when I hear leaves rustling to my right . I sigh relieved that Arizona has found me but where is Meredith why is she not looking for me.
"Arizona where is Meredith." I say feeling tears and panic rise inside of me
"She is back with the rest don't worry she is with Mark and Christina" Arizona says slowly approaching me
"Where is Lexie is she out here also looking for me you should go get her and tell her that you found me." I say clueless what tragedy happened
"Derek Lexie s-s- she ummmm wow this is so hard to say. Lexie she well she" Arizona says beating around the suddenly known bush
"Just tell me I can take it." I say starting to get impatient
" Lexie she died.' Arizona says before breaking down
I feel as if my chest was just sat on by an elephant because it suddenly feels very heavy. I feel tears going down my face knowing how tragic a loss this really is not just for Mer and Mark but for everyone. I try to calm down by taking deep breaths it starts to help and I know that Mer is probably worried sick about me and that I need to get back to the others so they know I'm not dead.
"Arizona we can't take this piece of plane off of my hand other wise I would lose it. So I need you to help me lift it up as we walk. I don't think it's too big to carry and that if I just make it to the others." I say knowing this was going to hurt a lot
Christina POV:
I get to Mer to see why she was screaming so loud when I notice Mark slumped on the ground.
"Mer what happened why didn't you go and help him" I yell forgetting about her broken leg
" Christina my leg is broken that's why I didn't help that's why I need you." Meredith says with fear in her voice
"Ok I'm going to look him over."
I tear open Mark's shirt and see a huge purple mark over more than half of his chest.
"Oh crap crap crap crap." I say under my breath
"What's wrong?" Meredith asks still somehow hearing me.
" He has a Cardiac Tamponade." I say
" Are you sure?" Meredith asks concerned
"75% sure" I respond still angry at myself for not realizing the symptoms sooner
"That's not very sure." Meredith says scared
"Well I would be more sure if I could do a cardiac ultrasound but I don't see any of those around unless you see one." I say in a snarky tone
I get up to go see if I can find anything to use to drain the fluid when I see Derek being helped out of the woods by Arizona.
Meredith POV:
I see Derek being helped out of the woods by Arizona and I start to cry with relief that my husband was alive.
"Derek! Your ok what happened to your hand." I yell with relief in my voice
" It's trapped in this piece of plane almost completely severed off so if we take this metal off of my hand then it would just come off." Derek says with fear
" I'm sorry about our fight I know I need to make a decision I'm just scared to" I say
Arizona helps Derek sit down close by me and he leans in kissing me. At that moment everything went away it was just me and him and nothing was wrong nothing happened. He pulls away and I lean my head on his shoulder at that moment I knew that we would be ok and that soon we would be rescued. I suddenly sit up fast remembering about the pilot.
"Guys someone needs to go check the pilot and we need to fix Mark!" I yell with authority.
Christina gets u to go and check on the pilot and to try and find supplies that we could use to fix Mark. She comes back and tells us the pilot is dead and that there was no first aid kit so she had to rummage through the suitcases to try and find something that would work. She shows us her finds and we all agree that they would to drain the fluid from his chest.
Christina POV:
I take the perfume bottle apart so that I could use the straw as the needle I disinfect it with hand sanitizer and then do the same with the pocket knife we were going to have to use. Arizona was going to do the procedure because of my arm and Derek's hand I knew that she had done one or two of these procedures before on some kids. She takes a deep breath and then we begin
Arizona POV:
I take the pocket knife from christina and make an incision in Mark's chest I was scared to do this. I barely knew how to do it with the equipment back at the hospital how was I possibly going to do this now.
"Ok now you're going to take the tube and push it in but make sure not to puncture the aorta or heart." Christina instructs
I did what she said not hitting anything important and blood parachutes out of the tube. Christina dumps out a bag full of beauty products and puts that over the makeshift tube in his chest. We look and each other and breath a sigh of relief he was going to be ok because of us. The moment is soon over when Christina starts barking orders to me and I do them. I knew at that moment that night was coming soon and that we needed to get a fire going so we wouldn't freeze to death but do we have matches and if so will we have enough of them to survive.
