Have a nice trip

“Have a safe trip guy!” Nate’s dad said to him and his sister Fiona as they went to board the flight to London so that they could attend the University of Economics. Nate and Fiona were both college students who got accepted into the University, on their way to get their PhD. “We will!” Fiona replied as she and her brother waved goodbye to their parents.
Once they got onto the plane, they quickly found their seats. Nate opened up his laptop, and started working on a new program, while Fiona started to watch a movie, hoping that will take the claustrophobia off her mind, she had a fear of being trapped inside of an area.
“We are now starting to take off, please turn off all electronics and fasten your seat belts.” The plane intercom said. Nate saved his work and put his laptop to sleep. He and Fiona fastened their seatbelts, however Fiona’s hands weren’t as stable due to her Claustrophobia. She quickly put on her headphones and started to take a nap. Nate looked outside the small, arched-shaped window, they were already in the air, he saw the topside of the clouds and they were nearing the Atlantic ocean.
The plane was flying somewhere near the middle of the Atlantic. “We are experiencing some minor air turbulence, please fasten your seatbelt.” The intercom announced. RUMP! The plane started to shake. “Again please fasten your seatbe-” BOOM! An explosion went off and the plane started to shake extremely out of control. Nate took his pillow and put it in-between his face and his knees, and went into a bracing position, so did Fiona. “Brace yourselves!” Someone shouted. Everyone screamed until impact.
Nate woke up, dazed and in shock, like his head was going to explode. He looked around, the plane had been completely wrecked. The windows were shattered, the back of the plane had an enormous hole. He looked to his right and found his sister, he put his finger on her neck to check for a pulse. “Thank God.” Nate sighed in relief, he looked for other passengers on the plane, and almost all of them were dead, there were two other survivors, a man and a woman. Nate asked “Are you hurt?”. The two checked themselves for wounds and replied “No, we’re fine.”. “What are your names?” Nate asked. The man’s name was Jason and the woman’s name was Lisa. “Come help me with my sister.”
The plane had crashed near a coastline. The three laid Fiona’s unconscious body on top of the warm, gray sand and went back into the plane to scavenge for materials. They found three bags of dried berry mix, a carton of water, an inflatable lifeboat, and a plane axe. The three of them decided to split up, Jason would explores the terrain, Liza would gather food, and Nate would looks after Fiona.
After around an hour, Fiona gained consciousness, Nate went to help her get up, and caught her up on the current situation. Suddenly, screaming could be heard in the distance, not very far away, and Nate decided to go after it. Fiona wanted to go with, but Nate refused “You have to stay here and rest, here’s this plane axe in case something tries to hurt you”, and he disappeared into the wild. Fiona went into the plane to scavenge what was left. Nate was not very far, he went and saw where the screams came from, Liza was on the floor. Her entire body was cut with some type of blade. Nate gasped at such a gruesome sight, and he feared what or who had done this. In the distance again, he heard another scream, this time it sounded like a man. Nate scurried and saw Jason fighting a pale, white and tall creature. He kicked it off of him and the figure ran off into the distance. “Are you ok? What was that?” Nate asked. “We need to get off of this island.” Jason replied with a horrid look. “We can take the inflatable life boat from the plane, let’s go back.” They both ran back.
Fiona was still foraging materials from the plane when the two ran back. All they shouted was “Get the lifeboat now!”. She shouted back “We don’t need to use it! I found a radio, we can use it to radio for help!”. The three of them huddled together and Nate attempted to radio any nearby ships. “This is an SOS signal to any nearby ships, we are stranded on an unknown location.”. Nate repeated it until he got a response. “This is the US Navy Vessel Key, we hear you loud and clear. Over”. Nate and Fiona high-fived each other and so did Jason. “We are stranded on this island with unknown hostile inhabitants. Over.” Nate notified. “We need a location, what are your coordinates? Over.” Nate replied “We do not know what the coordinates are, however we do have some flares. Over.” Nate proposed. “Send em up! Over”.
Nate retrieved a bag of flares from the plane, he took one and popped it up. Fiona and Jason sparked a flare and started waving them around. “This is the US Navy Vessel Key, we have spotted you, sending an life extraction team. Over.”. The captain notified. Howling was heard inside of the wild, and the pale, white figure appeared out of nowhere, and around 12 of them were there! From the extraction boat, a soldier took out his rifle and shot 3 of them before they could hit Fiona. “Get in here!” The marksman shouted. Fiona, Jason, and Nate both waded into the boat, and they made their escape.
