What's going on everyone this is TheLastSurvivor14 and this is the newest chapter of Brothers In Arms. On the last chapter, we found out seven students survived the plane crash, and Adam stood up and took the role of being the leader of the group. How will he be when he has to make crucial decisions for the group and how will the group react to them? Let's find out. Before we start I want to int out Disney has the rights to Star Wars. I also do not own "The Grey" but my OCs are mine.
Chapter 4: Time to Decide
Crash Sight (Adam's POV)
It had been four hours after the plane crashed and it had been only two hours after I assigned my brother and the rest of the survivors their jobs to help us survive the first night. Bryan and Jaime's job was to gather as much dry firewood as possible. Anthony, Joe, and Katlyn's job was to help patch up any holes in the plane so that the heat from the fire, Eduardo would make, wouldn't escape. And my job was to see if there was any first aid kits we could use. I knew that the first aid kits were stored at the front of the plane so if I found that first, I would find the first aid kits.
After a few minute of hiking through forest and hills I had reached the front end of the plane, which was about 180 yards away from the crash. And afterf scavenging the crash site I was able to find three first aid kits. Once I came back to the crash site I said "Hey everyone, good news. I was able to find three first aid kits." After I finished that sentence everyone was glad to hear that we had some way to help heal our wounds. I then noticed that there were no dead bodies and then I asked, "Hey what happened to the bodies?"
Katlyn then spoke up "Anthony told us to drag the body's away from the crash site. Said it would attract any predators near bye."
"Oh really. Good thinking Anthony." I said as I patted Anthony on the back.
"So do think that they're gonna find us?" Jaime asked me as we were all sitting next to the fire.
"I'm not sure." I said.
"What do you mean?" Bryan said.
"They gotta know that plane never made it back." Jamie added.
"Maybe they will notice and maybe they will send out a rescue team, but by the time they find us it will be too late."
"So what do you suggest?" Katlyn asked.
"Tomorrow we figure out where we're going to head and we start walking." I answered.
"I think we should stay with the plane, in case they do find us." Jaime said.
"Let's all get some sleep and think about it." I said as we were all getting ready to sleep inside the plane until I realized something. "Wait we can't all go to sleep."
"What do you mean?" Katlyn asked.
"I mean we don't know what's out there. For all we know something could be watching us right now, waiting for all of us to fall asleep." I said thinking of the idea that something could attack us if we all fell asleep.
"So what do you think we should do?" Anthony asked.
"Two of us will take two hour shifts. Anthony and I will take the first the shift. You guys go some rest. We'll wake two of you up in 2 hours." And with that everyone went to sleep.
Anthony's (POV)
After my brother decided to put us on watch duty first I though it would be a good opportunity to talk about our plan tomorrow. And that is when I asked, "So do you think there is a chance that we'll be found if we stay here."
He turned his head away from the fire, looked at me and asked, "Do you want the truth?" I nodded yes and he continued, "I honestly think that we have a better chance of leaving the crash site."
"So what are we gonna do?" I asked.
"One of the last things that I remembered before the crash was that the plane was heading south east." And then he pulled out a small compass that he got from one of the first aid kits and continued, "So we're gonna continue heading south east. What do you think?"
I liked his plan but I also thought about the rewards and risks of staying and leaving the crash site. If we stay, there's a good chance that we will be found but the rescue team maybe too late. If we leave we have a bigger chance of being found but God knows what's out there. I then answered, "I think we should go with what will guarantee our rescue."
He then asked me, "So are you willing to take a leap of faith?"
"Yes." I answered.
"Okay tomorrow morning we're gonna get our stuff packed up, including one of the first aid kits and we're gonna start walking."
"What about the rest of the group? Eduardo and Joe?" I asked, concerned about what will happen to them.
"I don't care about them. All I care about is getting you out of here." He said concerned about my safety.
"Okay." After that the rest of our shift was silent.
Morning (Adam's POV)
It was morning, around 7 am to be exact; the only people that were up were my brother and I. And all that we were doing was just packing up for our journey. We grabbed our backpacks that we had with us when we came to Alaska. What we packed in our backpacks were some spare clothes, our jackets, our camera, my iPod, some water bottles and a first aid kit. What was in our first aid kit were a couple of signal flares to use, a flare gun, bandages, matches, and a lighter.
As we were getting ready to leave the group, Katlyn had got up and asked us, "Adam, Anthony, what are guys doing?" After she had spoken the rest of the group, including our friends, had woken up. And that is when they all started asking us the same question.
After tired of hiding I finally spoke out. "Anthony and I are heading south east from here. If you want to come with us you're more than welcome to but just know that if come with me than you'll follow my orders."
"That's crazy. We should all stay here in case they find us." Jaime said.
"That's right." Katlyn added.
I then said, "If you guys want to stay here then fine. But my brother and I aren't gonna take any chances." Everyone then looked at us in silence. I then looked at Eduardo and asked him, "What about you? Do you have anything to say?"
Eduardo looks at me and says, "Yeah I hope you find your way home."
"What about you?" I asked.
"Joe and I are gonna stay here till tomorrow and then we're gonna find a river and head to the coast." I was concerned to here that he and Joe were gonna travel to the coast, even though it's about a weeks hike to it.
"Are you sure you want to do that. It's about a weeks hike from here?" I asked concerned.
"Well sometimes we have to take a leap of faith." I shocked to here him say that. I'm guessing he heard my conversation with Anthony last night. And then he said to me, "Good luck. Both of you."
I shook his hand and said to him, "You too old friend." And then Anthony and I left the crash site and had a feeling that this was going to be the last time we were going to see these people.
Well it looks like the two brothers are on their own now. Will they find civilization or will they find something else entirely? Find out next time on Brothers In Arms.
