Wreckage

Chapter 1

When she opened up her eyes, she was laying on a ferny bed with trees all above her. She tried to move, only to find that something was holding her down. She tried rubbing her eyes, but her arms felt so heavy that she couldn't lift them.

"She's awake." A male voice said near her head. When she finally could see more than rough shapes, she looked around. She saw her classmate, Lucas, and a couple of his friends. They were all sitting in a circle, just watching her.

"Bruh, not gonna lie, but that's kinda creepy that y'all were just staring at me like that." Kyra tried again to sit up, only to see that some kind of rope was tying her down. "Also, why am I tied up? Please tell me that you just were trying to help me not move and hurt myself more?" She had just finished asking when she heard a cry and about 10 people came charging into the camp. They left their faces covered, but they all seemed familiar. Two of them ran towards her and the rest attempted to divert Lucas and his friends. Lucas's two friends, Harold and Coron, both were distracted, but Lucas ran to Kyra and grabbed her, running off into the forest.

"He has her! Don't let him escape!" Kyra immediately recognized the voice as Rune's, and that was when she started flailing around to try and free herself.

"Dude, unless you want me to hurt you more than that plane crash has already done, you need to stop." Lucas hissed at her quietly. She saw that he had a rock in his free hand.

"Kyra! Yell if you can! We're coming!" That time, it was Jayson calling out to her. She was just opening her mouth when she was dropped on the ground, a hand covering her mouth. Quicker than she could notice, the hand was replaced by a gag and she was picked up again. She had lost sight of her friends, but she knew they had to be close.

"Lucas! Meet us by the river!" Harold yelled from an unseen location. "The rest of the tribe will be there too!" At this point, Kyra had reached a level of confusion that she had never realized was possible. She noticed that they were no longer running, but walking very fast. She was impressed by how silent Lucas was as he walked, even though the ground was covered in sticks. He started heading up a hill when he stopped. He quietly whistled, imitating a bird almost perfectly. A ladder dropped down, and one of Kyra's classmates, Sokan, climbed down a little and pulled Kyra up into a treehouse. Lucas emerged shortly, took Kyra from Sokan, and nodded quickly. Sokan lifted the ladder back up as Lucas took Kyra down a series of leafy tunnels and branches.

"I know you might be wondering what happened. You were out for quite a while, probably because you got smacked in the head pretty hard when that piece of plane landed on you in the water. Basically, this island is like the Bermuda Triangle for planes going anywhere in this part of the Pacific. When we got here, there was this really old man lying up here in this fort thing, really close to death. He told us that he had been on a plane that had crashed about 40 years ago. He had said that there were supplies created by his group hidden around the island. There had been others who have crashed, but usually they get rescued. He never did because he felt it was his duty to help other crash victims. He died about an hour after we found him. We buried him, and found all of the stashes that he told us about." Lucas came to a wall and pulled a rope, bringing the floor they were standing on up. "You can't ask questions right now, thank goodness. You ask a lot of questions normally. Anyway, after we got on the island, we found out that only our classmates had survived, or at least made it on the island. We were all together for a while, but we eventually started having fights. We split up into two tribes, one is led by Jayson and Jade, and ours is led by Tiffany and Sokan, for now. We have Tiffany, Sokan, Harold, Coron, Marko, Lukia, Kairo, Laila, Lemon, George, and a few others. Everyone else decided that they didn't want to live under the rule of Tiffany and Sokan, so they are with Jayson and Jade. You will be with us. Too many people want you, so we're keeping you nice and safe here." Kyra shuddered as he said the last sentence, for a glint in his eyes suggested ulterior motives.
