Snow In The Dark

I woke up to everything shaking around me and alarms blaring in my ears. My eyes fly open searching for what was going on. I couldn't get my answer because I was thrown out of the chamber I was in.

I smack into the floor rolling out of the way just in time for my chamber to be ripped off from the ship.

I grab the nearest thing I can keeping me from getting sucked out with the debris of the crash. The ship slides to a halt, everyone else being flung out of their sleeping chambers as well.

I could hear people talking, yelling for one another but I didn't think about that. Jack was my only priority.

Pushing myself up from the floor I did a scan of the room not seeing her anywhere.

"Jack!" I yell my head pounding from the action or from smacking into the floor.

I step over fallen parts of the ship calling her name. Stumbling towards the ladder leading a floor down I take it, my gut telling me to go in that direction.

"Jack! Where are you?" I call out walking through the dark underbelly of the ship. It was where the storage was kept.

I stop in my tracks when a man is standing there. Him only dressed in a black tank top, cargo pants and boots.

I know who he is recognizing him as the prisoner on the ship. The cuffs and bit in his mouth tell me that. Fear settles in my stomach making me stay frozen in place.

He looks at me, well in my direction. He cocks his head to the side, and takes a deep breath as if he was smelling the air. Then in a swift movement he turns and disappears into the darkness of the ship.

I take a shaky breath and turn to go back up the ladder just glad he didn't try to kill me. I start digging through the rubble my heart starts to pick up at the fear of not finding her. Seeing a tuned over chamber I move to it pull the door open watching my baby sister roll out of it unharmed.

"So something went wrong I guess." She says looking up at me.

"Yeah you could say that." I say chuckling, helping her to stand up.

"Are you okay?" I ask looking her over.

"Yeah I think so." She says looking down her own body.

"What about you?"

"Just a bump on the head." I say reaching up to touch where my head made contact with the floor.

Hearing a scream we both quickly move in that direction finding the group of survivors around the two co pilots.

The one with the bar in his chest I couldn't remember the name of but the other one was Carolyn I think.

"Everyone out." She crokes out looking at her dying friend.

"Come on Jack." I say touching her shoulder.

She turns to look at me with sadness in her eyes. I smile at her and pull her outside with me. As we walk outside I realize that the prisoner was tied up to a metal beam.

I wonder how Johns found him and got him secured so fast.

"You better be careful around him." Says the man I was just thinking about him standing right in front of me.

I jump and look up at him as Jack walks outside with the others.

"He's tied up and I'm all the way over here. I don't think he can hurt me." I say, not fully believing what I said but was there really a need to be scared of a man who was tied up.

Johns chuckles and turns to walk outside.

I turn to look back at the man tied up. With the others either out of the ship or too far away to notice I take a step closer to him.
