Day One

Day One- Alice Armstrong

"No please no, I'm far to young for this, no I have my whole life to go." Ally whimpered, knowing that this was far more than just turbulence.
In an instant, there it was her whole life before her eyes, what she remembered of it anyway.
Grandma, dear sweet grandma with her bag of sweeties, and mam when she was mam not just an empty shell of a woman.Then he came along, ruined everything, and baby Anna who lived just three weeks.
It was all rushing by so fast, no time to think,
Dan who understood, he always understood.Leaving home, leaving mam, hardest thing I ever did, and the last eight months wow they were cool.
She must have blacked out or something because next thing Ally knew, she was face down in a sand dune, and everything sounded like it was in a tunnel.
Come on then Ally, flip yourself over girl, the world is waiting.
She did as the little voice in the back of her head told her to and fliped herself over, but it was a second or two before she opened her eyes.
What she saw, nothing could prepare her for.What she saw would stay in her head forever, however long that would be.
What Alice Armstrong did then, she had no control over. It was just survival instinct , it was just her body working on auto pilot.She couldn't help it, she just ran...

Charlotte woke to the blinding light of the sun. This time it came back to her quickly: the turbulence, the shaking, Tom telling her everything was okay and then the sickening sound of metal being sheered apart. She remembered screaming, a lot of screaming and then nothing. She sat up, feeling better than she had before, but she still had to move slowly to fight the urge to be sick. She managed to get to her feet and began to survey the scene. The plane was...well it certainly didn't look like a plane now. And people were everywhere; some crying, some talking, some just lying there...

"Oh God! Tom!" she thought. She tried to remember what he had been wearing, but couldn't recall. A shiver of panic ran up her spine as all the possibilities spun through her head. She took a deep breath to calm herself, telling herself that Tom was all right, he probably just landed in a different spot and is combing the beach right now looking for her. She took a step forward and realized she had definitely done something to her knee as a jolt of pain shot upwards causing her to let out a loud gasp. Walking in this sand was going to be difficult...but Tom! What if he's lying some where unconcious? She had to find him, bad knee or not.

That's when she saw the young woman sitting in the shade of the trees, staring out in front of her. Charlotte couldn't tell if the woman was looking at her or past her, but decided to approach her. If there was anything she needed, if there was anything anyone needed in this situation, it was a friend.

Charlotte limped up toward the tree line and called out once she got close enough to see the woman's face. "Excuse me!" she said, "Hi."

Elizabeth looked slowly at the limping girl as she made her way towards her. She kept her face still as she considered her options. She had to calculate what to do. She knew everything must be planned. She blinked and then stated in a tone that was cold, but wasn't very friendly either, "Hi there..."

She watched her for a moment and decided that in the end she would no doubtedly had to talk to someone, and if this person had made the first move then it was surely better to speak to her. "Are you alright? Your limping."

[archer16]

Charlotte registered the gaurded tone of the the woman's voice, but brushed it off as shock, this woman had just lived through the same horror as herself, no?
"I was about to ask you the same thing. I think I just twisted my knee." she said, flashing a brief smile in an attempt to make the her feel more comfortable. "This is going to sound..." She was at a loss for words...stupid? foolish? Charlotte looked at the wreakage and then turned back to the woman, "Have you been over...there? Have you seen...I know there were - are," she corrected herself, "a lot of people, but...my husband...but how could you possibly know...," she drew a deep breath. "I'm sorry, I'm rambling...I didn't even ask your name." Charlotte sat down next to the woman and extended her trembling hand, "My name is Charlotte."

[madlostfan]

Elizabeth watched her carefully for a moment. It had been a long time since she had told anyone her real name. But what would it matter now? She considered using one of her other names but decided against it. "Elizabeth.... My name is Elizabeth," she stated as she shook her hand carefully.

She swallowed as she thought about her situation. Clearly Charlotte was desperate to find her husband. "I'm sorry, I haven't... been over there yet. I'm sure you'll find him."

[archer16]

"Yeah, I will." Charlotte said giving a sad smile and trying to swallow the growing lump in her throat. She took a deep breath, "Well, It's nice to meet you, Elizabeth. Too bad it couldn't have been under better circumstances." The two women sat in silence for some time, neither of them seeming to know what to say next, both of them just staring out towards the ocean.

[rabbit777]

Ally sat stood unoticed in the trees, she could see the two women sitting on the beach, not to far from the treeline but her legs refused to move, so she just stood there and wept.
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God" She whispered over and over to herself, "Oh my God, what am I gonna do? Oh my God, oh my God."
I'm not Dead, She thought, It's time to move on, it's time to stop this. I need to move, I can't just stay here forever.
It took what seemed like an age for her body to listen to her brain, but slowly Ally placed her right foot infront of her left and began to slowly walk towards the women.
She stopped again, almost right behind them.
Oh my God, what do I say?

[archer16]

Charlotte heard a noise behind her and as she turned around her eyes fell upon a young woman who had just staggered out through the trees. She met the girl's gaze. She has a strange expression on her face. Was it fear? uncertainty? Charlotte couldn't quite read it, but she looked like she was about to be sick.
"Oh my God!" Charlotte said getting to her feet, jarring her already throbbing knee in the process. She inhaled sharply fighting the pain, and took a step toward the girl. "Are you all right? Come here, sit down." she ordered gently. "My name is Charlotte and this is Elizabeth." she said giving the girl the same comforting smile as she had given Elizabeth a few moments ago.

Day 1- Sebastian Flint

Sebastian quickly unbuckled his seatbelt upon hearing the noise of screaming. Heavily breathing, he crawled out of the wreckage of the fuselage section of the plane to find that the plane had crashed on an island. He ran around seeing people scurrying around all over the place panicking while there were the injured, the unconcious, and the dead. Sebastian's first reaction was to take notice of a man under a tall piece of wreckage, ready to collapse, "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!" Sebastian screamed.

The man had only a split second to look before Sebastian tackled him to the ground out of the way of the falling wreckage, and before he had a chance to thank the young man he was gone.

Sebastian spent the next half an hour making sure survivors were okay, and the rest of the day trying to salvage any items he could find in the plane, in order to distribute them evenly around the others later on.

[MsDee]

She felt warm and wet. Why did she feel wet. Her face felt gravelly and she heard what sounded like waves. She quickly opened her eyes and realized she was face down on a beach. The tide was low and some of the ocean water lapped close to her face. She was confused. It took her a while to process what was happening. She must've been in a plane crash. She tried to get up quckly but found she needed to take it slow. Her body felt like she had been run over by a mack truck.
Fear took over and immediatly scanning the small area around her she realized she was alone but as she rose to her feet and looked further in to the distance what she saw was worse than any nightmare she could have come up with. on her own. Complete chaos. It looked like a war zone. She walked closer to the zone and into the chaos she didnt want to be alone.
As she approached the image of what was occurring were almost too much to handle but she needed to look and needed to get closer.
There were casualties all around, some smoke, the fuselage still sparked as if trying to survive. There was luggage strewn all over. peoples possessions but where were the owners of the luggage. Were they alive? There were moans and all sorts of crying. Cries of anguish, low cries and whimpers.
