The Platforms

the journey starts

"As we travel father down this tree, it seems like months go by before anyone talks or breaths," one child named Kaci writes in her diary that she's had since the plane crash. After she scribbles the last word, something grabs her. It has scaly and hairy hands, cold skin, and yellow/red eyes.That she finds out when she looks back. She's screaming bloody murder, yet no one is coming to rescue her because she was one of the children whose parent had died in the initial crash. Yet suddenly when the eyes of a grown-up start to turn towards her like their slow moving head it releases her. They say "stop yelling there's nothing wrong so just shut-up and follow until we find you an adult who would take you oh wait no one know be quiet". She then resumes to writing a hateful entry to this man until she just disappears like air in the wind.

Shes gone and no one will be looking for her especially an adult,but maybe a friend she made in the group like Alexia. As Alexia goes to find Kaci for dinner because someone found a banana tree next to a cave (odd right)for dinner Alexia looks every wheres,but comes up with only the diary in which she was writing how much hate and resentment she had for that man. She reads the part she was writing when her hand went across the page and was not to be seen writing another word. She then thinks "what if that man killed her like the vulture who killed her own son because she was to hungry to bare it".As she thinks this her mother and father yell her name and tell her to hurry up except her mother and father aren't calling her because her parents are dead and Alexia knows this and that her parents aren't in the woods there back in the plane and dead. Not moving an inch a day or year or a few and they never will there gone. She proceeds back to camp and not to the voice she heard in the woods although if she were smart she would not have gone to either because the adults at camp are thinking about how to get meat because they are not vegetarians.

As she moves along singing and dancing back to camp she hears someone say "Alexia took two plates out into the woods shes a drain" shes astonished to hear it was Amber one of the girls she had became Friends with at camp. Also, Amber knew she was going to find Kaci and give her the food. She's so angered that she storms back to where Kaci's book was found and starts writing an entry on how Amber can die and how she intends to kill her in cold blood. She finally agrees with herself that a whole with a few pokes in it and a cover so she falls in it unknowingly and gets punctured only a small bit. She finds that will make her see no mercy nor sun ever again(dead). As she finds a spot where she thinks she could put this plot into action she realizes "how will i get her here without others," but soon it hits her "why not kill a few of the jerks who agree with her and that horrid adult if i can figure out who made Kaci mad and run away". As she gets her sticks ready for the bottom someone yells "don't Alexia," but who and why? "don't what i guess don't just kill a few kill a lot" she screams," but no response so she takes it as a yes and starts her mission. As she continues to sharpen shreds of wood and place it in the ground at the bottom she continues to think who said that and why maybe they don't know the whole story there wrong not me. She knows she couldn't possibly wrong right?

As she continues to think deep in thought something is bugging her she doesn't yet know what, but something about this doesn't seem to fit in why this all happened and, how if supposedly the airline was the safest in the business.This thought is haunting her like their is something even weirder in the situation like "how did this happen how did we get here if we were so safe?" This thought is haunting her for a good reason considering someone falls right in front of her and lands on a spike and squirms then nothing their body goes limp. As she breaths heavier and thinks she might faint she hears a noise like a rustling or break of a branch. She quickly covers herself in leaves and brush when someone falls down on her, but not completely on her half on a spike half on her they wiggle like they want free until they find her underneath all that brush. They quickly uncover her face to see if shes dead, but she had already been grabbing at a spike and quickly plunged it through their head without meaning to. She only meant to have it as a defensive weapon if needed. She quickly realized that it was Kaci. She starts to sob then theirs still an almost dead person in the hole and her dead friend the one she killed. In that moment she realizes why she shouldn't have made the whole and she has to cover her tracks. She knows she has to take care of the person who had fell and was limb. Finally she says to herself " their dead why finish the job even more?I cant anyways I didn't really want to kill anyone". She digs her way to the top making a slope out of the hole which in itself is torture and payback. She looks back to see Kaci one last time only to see that she was covered in dirt and filth from her digging the whole to freedom by hand and throwing dirt. She decides she cant take looking at whats left of her uncovered so she mutilates the body or in other words just covered it up, but her mind said she mutilated her and gave her no mercy thru the head with a spike and to see her face in aw was the worst part. She know knows why she was told not to dig the hole i the first place. She was stupid and thought Kaci would have been so sad at a fight she would have gone and left.Left her and everyone else because of someone telling her to "shut-up". Know she knew it was her fault and she deserved to be back their in that hole with a spike sticking out of her head through all the leaves and branches piled up. She doesn't deserve to live like Kaci did.Alexia know only has hate and anger building inside. Alexia herself should be dead no one else no one should go thru the pain she put Kaci through.She makes a little grave sign with one of the pointy sticks that is not completely drenched in blood. She knows Kaci's name will wear away from this recently moistened dirt, but it felt like the right thing to do like closure or a ceremony. After all that Alexia goes back to the camp without anyone seeing her steals some of there food and heads for the tree.She was like a ninja in and out without a trace.
