Hold My Hand

Chapter 3

Aryana Brown

"Everyone listen!!"

His voice was so loud that everyone couldnt help but quiet down. He continued.

"I understand that the situation is very rough but listen to the person talking. He will be sharing a lot of important information now and that will be necessary once you step into the island and all your doubts and questions will be answered once the instructions are given. Do I make myself clear?"

People whispered yes and some nodded. The troubling making man who sits in front of us got up and asked the man.

"Hey who are you to tell us what to do!?"

Everyone did have a similar question but some of us had seen this man was one of the officials who came and was in charge of the evacuation that happened at the airport and he led us to the planes. Now that I look closely at him. He was quiet well built, almost six feet. He had shaved his head and had a scar on his hand. It looked like a battle wound.

"I am the man who is in charge of making sure your ass gets landed in the island safe. So you better sit down and listen to every word I say. Do I make myself clear?" He looked around to see if there was anyone else.

Once he was satisfied that no one had any other question, he pulled out the connecting phone asking them to continue.

"Dear passengers, I shall continue with the instructions. Please make a note of them as there will be a lot of confusion once you land."

By now all of us paid close attention as the instructions were given out.

"One, as soon as you land you shall be taken into the facility where you will be given a thorough check up just to make sure all of you are safe and healthy in point A. Two, people who are considered safe shall be taken to point B. While if people who are categorised as not healthy or in case doubted to be infected shall be asked to move to point C where they will be monitored and given the necessary treatment. Once people are done with the check-up we will be moving to point D, where you will be divided according to your status, which means, people who are with their families will be moved separately while individuals or children who are alone will be loving to another. Later on you will be instructed there how to move forward and what has been planned. Three, you later on can request to ask or identify if your family is in or around any other island. This will take some time but you shall have the opportunity to make a request and will be updated as soon as the information is available. Four, every individual is expected to follow the instruction and regulations very strictly. Anyone who breaks the regulation will face the consequences. Five, please be assured that the government and all nations have come together to solve the situation and come up with a solution as soon as possible. These are the instructions that have been requested to pass along for now. You shall be updated more once we have landed and are inside the facility. We will be arriving within half an hour so I request everyone to sit down and get ready for the landing soon. Thank you."

Once the instructions were given, we all couldnt help but feel uneasy. Nothing has been told explicitly. All we understood was the fact, there are chance for people to be affected here as well and we could be divided and we had no choice but to follow the instructions. As we were getting ready to land, all of a sudden our plane started having turbulence. There was warning alarms going off. Everyone sitting here knew something was happening and it wasnt good. People were screaming and crying. Lilly and Drake wrapped themselves around Ella and me. All of a sudden that bald man came and told us the most dreadful news we could ever hear while landing.

"There seems to be an issue. The fuel has been leaking and there is not enough fuel for a safe landing and we will be doing a emergency landing. Please wear your seat belts and keep your head low and over them with your hands. As we will be landing in a very rough state, so I request you all to prepare for it as it will be happening anytime soon."
