LOST; Alone in the dark

 

Darkness drew near, the sun disappearing into the deep blue sea. All the survivors from the plain crash all settling down for the night after a long hard day of building a shelter on the beach for them all to sleep under. All fell silent as all the survivors fell into a deep sleep.

Kate was awoken by the thing in the jungle she could hear it getting closer, she looked around and no one was there everyone had disappeared.

 

She hopped up onto her feet and shouted,

‘Jack…. Jack!’ It was getting closer and closer. She ran towards the sea, grabbing her gun from her rucksack as she passed it. She ran towards the large rocks. She could hear it ripping the trees from the roots and throwing them to the ground. Kate was shaking with fear and her breathing became heavy. She was all alone in the dark with that thing in the jungle.

It began to rain, the sea and the wind picking up. She was screaming for Jack. It carried on raining for an hour or so until all came to a stand still.

Kate peered over the wet rock towards the trees. She couldn’t hear anything all was deadly silent once again.

 

She slowly stood up and made her way back towards camp. The rain had put all the fires out, she was heading towards total darkness. She heard a rustling and a small figure came out of the trees. She pointed her gun towards the small dark figure.

‘Who’s there!’ she shouted. She pulled the trigger on her gun but she had no bullets in it so she started to run across the beach shouting for help. As she ran she got closer and closer towards the trees and before she knew it she was ruining through the jungle with branches hitting her in the face and twigs snapping beneath her feet.

She looked behind her and the figure was closely following. Running faster and deeper into the jungle.

 

She suddenly awoke in hysterics with Jack standing over her, she was sweating and her heart was pounding.

‘Kate…don’t worry it was just a dream’ she sat up and hugged jack until she fell back to sleep in jacks arms.
