Against You and I

Chapter 2

 Chapter 2

Numbness,

 noise,

 grunts,

 cries,

 screams,

 groans,

 mumbles,

 darkness

I tried to open my eyes but I felt numb, I tried to move my hands, but I can’t feel anything, I tried to speak, but I feel weak.  I hear cries, shouting, moans of pain, noises I can’t explain. I hear my name calling.

 And as if a weight was lifted off of me, I slowly regain my strength. I opened my eyes, trying to adjust from the light, and when I can finally see clearly and saw trees in an afternoon sun, lots and lots of trees, I looked around to find the source of the voice calling my name, I see 2 female figures, and as if recognizing them, Sab and Kenna hugged me, thanking God that I was awake and that they were worried.

  I furrowed my eyebrows as I recall what happened. And as realization hit me, I bolted in a sitting position and scanned my surroundings. People injured, grunting from the pain, crying for their losses, peopled panicking and fighting.

 We were in a forest, the plane split in half, some still trying to recover survivors and dead bodies from the plane, some getting supplies out.

 I looked at my girls and saw fear and tears in their eyes. It took everything to keep myself calm even though I’m scared shitless. I kept a calm face for my two bestfriends because it's what they needed, an assurance and a strong pole to lean on.  

I stood at my feet and hugged the girls, soothing them and telling them that we’ll all be fine. I turned around before they could utter a word. I motioned for them to follow me as I approach the pilot who was giving out instructions to people and trying calming them, key word is ‘trying’. I listened as I reached the back end of the crowd.

“I know all of you are scared but we are doing the best we can to communicate to the tower for help, but I assure you, help will arrive, I need all of your cooperation, I know that some of you lost people and we are extremely sorry for that but we are trying our best. We need to work together. I would request all of you to approach the female flight attendants if you are injured and for food. We would provide you the best we can. Male flight attendants, I would need you to stay for further instructions.” Stated the Pilot.

 I am assuming he was on his late 30s. but I know he was not the captain. He was just a co-pilot. I would know because it says on his tag ‘Raynolds’, as I remember, the captain for our flight is named ‘Collins’.  

This intrigued me so I told the girls that I’d meet them with the female attendants ‘refuge center’ at the other side of the plane. I hid myself in an area where I can still hear the Pilot ‘Raynolds’ conversation with the other male flight attendants.

“what is happening? Where is Captain Collins? have you made contact for rescue?” the blonde flight attendant asked.

“okay, there is no other way to say this but the Captain is dead. I woke up after the crash and saw him with a stab wound in his back puncturing his heart. Giving him an instant kill. Whoever killed him wanted me alive for some reason if he didn't, he wouldn't have kept me alive.

And as for the communicator, it was destroyed. I’m trying to fix it. Try to ask around if there is a mechanic or electrician and bring him to me. We’ll see if they can repair the damage. The rest of you keep unloading the supplies from the plane. Report to me if you see someone suspicious. He might be the captain’s killer. And no word of this goes out to the passengers. We don’t want them going chaotic than they already are!” whispered/yelled pilot Raynolds.

The male attendants nodded then scattered to do their jobs. I also made my way to back to the girls until I saw movements in the undestroyed part of the forest. I cautiously followed the movement until I smelled gasoline and stopped when I stepped on a puddle of gasoline.

Shit! I thought to myself. The plane is leaking gas. I hurried back to the group of people where they built the ‘refugee center’, to warn them not to ignite a fire. As I got to where my girls are, as if it was a slow motion scene, I saw a middle aged man about to light his cigar with his lighter, wait, where’d he get that anyway I thought to myself wide eyed, when the strangest thing happened, he accidentally dropped the lighter on the ground, igniting fire. He was shocked and quickly moved away from the fire.

On reflex, I shouted “ get away from the plane! It’s going to explode! Run!!!” I announced when I saw the fire racing back to the plane. People started to run far away from the plane. The girls quickly ran as I followed hot on their trails.

After a minute or two we heard a terrific explosion with a strong force making us fall off our feet. Shielding our heads, I felt something warm covered and secured me in place. when the continuous sound of explosion subsided, I felt  the weight that covered me got off and quickly took off. Covering himself with the fireproof blanket so that I couldn’t see his face. I tried to call for him but i was too shocked to even react at what happened.

 One thing I do know, he is a male, with his figure and the structure or his body when he covered me. Whoever he is, I’m indebted to him, if it weren’t for him, I would have been toasted.

I looked at my girls and sighed  with relief that they were unharmed. But my mind still wonders with the guy who saved me.  And apparently, we got separated from the rest of the survivors. Isn’t our luck just great?
