The Long Road Ahead

Chapter 6 - Follow That Thing!

Fri / 19th / Aug 7:00am

I start looking all around the plane. Under the wings, up near the front and even the tail. I cant see too much except a whole lot of grass. I look up at the trees. They are very tall and each one seems to want the sun more than the next. they all seem to be very greedy. Wilbur is inside the plane checking under the seats. He really has his work cut out for him. I mean, its not a huge jumbo jet liner. Its only a small two engine passenger. About the same seating as a bus. I do another loop around the plane, when a very small thing swooshes past in the distance. I run over towards where the creature was, and there it is. The small red medikit. "Hey Wilbur!" I shout out. "whats wrong jack?" He says, sticking his head out of the hole in the plane. "There's nothing wrong, I've found the kit!" "Well done my boy! he says with a big grin. Bring it over here." I take another look at the bag and realise that it has a large tear in it. I scoop up what I can and bring the objects back to Wilbur.

I unzip the bag (which is probably unnecessary) and I look at what's inside. "Well everything's in there...wait...where's the syringe? And the panadol?" I say feeling confused. "The what?" Says Wilbur, obviously not familiar with the contents of the bag. "There used to be a syringe and a bottle of panadol in here." I said "well, I guess it's not in there now. But what's still in there? He asks. "Small bandages, a few band aids and a defibrillator." I say. *loud crack* "what was that!" I said, startled. We turn around and look at the hole in the plane (where the sound came from) we hurry towards the entrance and walk in. "What...the..." It was beyond anything I had ever seen. The blackest silhouette sitting in the cockpit. It was tall and slender. It was crouched over Brandon. "Hey! Get away from him!" I yelled. The silhouette turned instantly and I was shot with fear. Just the figure itself made me want to cry. It slowly turned and as it began walking toward us, stood taller and taller with each step. It's eyes began to glow a bright colour and flickered. As It drew closer to us I backed away. Wilbur was already running away. I walked back out side the plane and the creature followed me, tilting it's head all the while. when the light hit the creature, it's eyes blackened and went out. It hissed and screamed and flailed it's arms. It rushed back inside and cowered. "It's afraid of the light" I said.
