Jostled from her sleep as the plane was struck by the bolt, Chiharu sat up in her chair. Short black hair disheveled, Auburn brown eyes searched the cabin around her. The mask fell to her face before she could really gather what was happening. The words emergency landing sent a cold jolt through her spine, as she pulled the mask on.
Wasn't there just water below them, a bottomless ocean how could a plane land on that... She was panicking, she didn't want to die... She hadn't bored this plane realizing that it would take her to the feet of the reaper. Her breath quickened and she held the yellow cup to her mouth pressing it against her face.
When the plane was struck again, though the dream haunting sound of the metal creaking before giving way and the plane broke in half. Chiharu felt her stomach turn dizzyingly, as she watched the front half of the plane fall away. She felt their momentum increase, and she knew this was the end...
"I'm sorry mother, I'm sorry. I just wanted to get away for the week, Forgive me." She prayed, hoping her mother would forgive her for taking this secret trip. She started to apologize to her father, certain death changes your views on grudges... When a piece of falling luggage slammed into her chest, she felt the air in her lungs leave all at once... and could barely focus on their now violent decent towards the ground.
Ground... Ground, was that land... an Island. The rapid decent and inablity to restart her breathing caused the word to swirl together, maybe the plane was spinning. Before she passed out, the last thing she remembered... was the sudden halting of all motion, as the plane slammed into the ground.
She woke with a sharp intake of air, as if after the hours she had been unconscious her brain remembered how to breathe. It took a few seconds for her brain to catch up and her eyes fluttered open. Auburn darting from one thing to another... Then the pain settled in. Everything was sore, and ached... The air was hot, and humid. They hadn't made it far into their flight.
She pulled the buckle of her seatbelt, even though her body protested with pain. She stood, her hair clinging to her face she pushed it off, to get a better look around her. She wished immediately that she hadn't... and counted herself lucky that an entire body pain seemed to be the only thing wrong with her. She stumbled to the edge of the plane, where it had split open and emptied her stomach over the edge.
She wiped her lips with the back of her hand, and focused her eyes out on the beach. Bits of plane, and she was sure passenger littered it as far as she could see, in either direction.
'Hello!? is Anyone there?' A person, she turned to look back into the plane. "I am here!" She called, standing up. She was short for her age, always had been... inheriting her mother's frame.. but her father's appearance. Inside she was relieved to not be the only one who had survived... the plane wasn't filled with success stories, Chiharu was thankful it was just some over weight luggage that had struck her chest...
"Are you injured badly?" She called to the woman who was standing in the aisle of the plane.
