Gary+(1)

The Five Survivors Gary, Alex, Bob, Ian, and Sam, five 12-year-old friends headed to Costa Rica from Spain sat down in first class seats in an AA airplane. The captain of the plane made an announcement “We are going through turbulence please fasten your seat belts we will arrive in an hour.” The kids weren’t worried at all. Suddenly all five boys had to go to the bathroom they all unfastened their seatbelt and rushed towards the bath rooms, all the bath rooms were in the back of the plane. Once all five boys got to the back of the plane lighting struck. Ian tried to get back to his seat and took a step but the plane shook and Ian slipped and fell down. A horrible thing happened the controls of the plane were going crazy in the cockpit, the plane was going crazy it was pointed down the plane hit the ocean and made a hole in the plane, water was rushing in every one in the plane was unconscious except for the five boys. Gary noticed the emergency exit door and swam toward it; he opened it and got the attention of his friends by banging on the outside of the plane. All five boys swam out of the plane and flouted up to the surface, all of this took about 30 seconds. When the boys were at the surface they had a hard time staying up, their legs were getting tired. Gary saw some thing out of the corner of his eye it was an island no one seemed to notice it and it wasn’t that far away. Gary yelled out “Hey guys lets swim over to that island.” no one said any thing they were too tired they just did what Gary told them to do. They got to the island in like 30 minutes. When they got there the first thing that they did was lie down. Once they had enough strength to get up that’s when they realized that they were alone on the island and that every one else that was on the plane was dead. Suddenly every one was upset Sam was even crying. Gary came in and said “ Hey you don’t have to be sad its ok.” Then Gary realized that they might be stuck on the island forever, but he didn’t want to think about it and said, “ Hey its not so bad we can even have fun on the island.” That got everyone’s hopes up. “ Ok but we need to build a shelter.” “Ok” replied everyone. Gary started telling every one what to do. “Sam get wood and lots of it, Alex get food as much as you can, Bob get leaves and big ones, Ian I need you to get as much flat stones as you can find.” Gary seemed confident to the other boys but deep inside Gary felt week, hungry, tired and most of all sad for all the people that died in the plane and also because their was a big chance that they would never get another chance to see their families again, but he tried not to think of that. The only thing that Gary wanted to do was sleep, all of his energy got drained out from the 30-minute swim, but first they needed a shelter. Gary heard a noise deep in the forest but he wasn’t worried. Gary looked at the sky, it seemed like it was going to rain, and Gary ran out to help Sam gather wood. After an hour they all reunited at the same spot that they started at. Gary and Sam came back with piles of wood, Alex came back with enough bananas and coconuts for a week but unfortunately for the boys he couldn’t get any meet or fish. Bob collected a dozen leaves as big as a full-grown horse; Ian came back with enough flat stones to make a decent floor. Thankfully for the five boys all the sticks that Gary and Sam got were strait because that way it would be easier to make the walls. First all five boys grabbed a couple of sticks and stuck them in the ground making a square about eight squared meters. While Gary, Alex and Ian worked on putting the flat and heavy stones in the shelter as the floor, Bob and Sam were making the roof with the gigantic leaves that Bob collected. Even though they didn’t allow people to take pocketknives on the plane all five boys managed to sneak theirs in. Gary asked, “ Do all of you have your pocketknives?” Every one answered by taking theirs out “ Ok, lets make some weapons’ said Gary. He grabbed one of the left over sticks that he and Sam collected, and started making a spear. They all knew how to make weapons, when the boys were little, in Costa Rica they would go into the wilderness and make all sorts of weapons like javelins, spears, knives, even bows and arrows but they didn’t just know how to make the weapons they also knew how to use them. By the time the boys were done making the weapons they had enough to kill every living thing on the island. They stored the weapons in a little shack that they made with some of the left over sticks. After all the work the boys did they were exhausted. Every body grabbed some of the left over leaves and made their own little beds inside the cabin. All of the boys were tired and sleepy but none of them could sleep because they were all thinking about their families and about the people that died in the plane crash and how they might be stuck on the island for the rest of their lives its pretty hard to fall asleep when you have all of that in your head. After a long moment of silence Alex finally said something “I’m hungry, I’m getting a banana, and does anybody want one?” Every one replied with a simple “No” Alex walked away. “What do you guys want to do tomorrow?” asked Gary. No one said anything. “I mean we could do anything” Before anyone could say anything else Alex came rushing in with a banana in his hand “ Guys you have to come. Every one rushed out of their beds and fallowed Alex out to the beach. What They saw made the boys so scared that they all had pale faces. The boys were staring at a dead, giant wild bore as big as a Volkswagen Beetle. Gary walked back to the cabin, every fallowed him. When every one was inside Gary said, “We need to take turns guarding the cabin.” “What do you mean?” asked Bob. “I mean while four of us are sleeping one of us has to be outside watching out for any animal that wants to attack us.” Every one inside the cabin was asleep they were exhausted. After a couple hours a horrible thing happened, Sam was asleep even though he wasn’t supposed to be. Sam woke up, as soon as he did a giant creature jumped out of nowhere, this beast was five times bigger than the wild bore he had seen earlier. Sam thought he was dreaming Every thing happened so fast the poor little boy didn’t have time to say one word, much less scream for help. The giant beast leaped at him and grabbed him by the head and ripped Sam’s body apart. The boy in the cabin immediately woke up; they had the feeling that something horrible had happened to their friend. All five boys rushed out of their beds and rushed outside with weapons in their hands. The boys couldn’t see that well but they didn’t need to figure out that their friend was dead and that a giant beast was standing right in front of them. Bob was really angry at the beast, but also really sad. Sam was Bob’s best friend. The giant beast roared, Bob screamed in hatred he sprinted towards the hideous beast, jumped up so high his friends couldn’t believe their eyes, and stabbed the beast in its head with his spear. Bob landed on the floor and immediately passed out. The giant beast landed dead on its back. Gary, Alex, and Ian couldn’t believe what they just saw. Their mouths were wide open; their eyes were fixed on the giant beast that their friend just killed alone with a little wooden spear! Suddenly Gary, Alex, and Ian noticed Bob lying on the ground, they ran towards him and knelt beside him. Gary slapped him on the face, “Hey buddy you awake, come on wake up.” Now Gary was shaking Gary so hard it seemed as if Bob’s body was made out jelly. Bob barely opened his eyes and asked, “Did I kill it?” “Yes you did buddy you did well” answered Gary. With that Bob fell back asleep. It was already morning, Gary, Alex, and Ian had to carry Bob all the way to the cabin, but they didn’t mind. On their way back the boys saw their dead friend, Sam lying on the ground, well at least pieces of him. When the boys walked past their dead friend they put their heads down in respect. Once they got to the cabin the boys laid Bob down in his bed. Gary sat down on top of his bed, Ian laid down in his, and Alex just stood up. “Its all my fault” Gary said to himself. “No its not” said Alex in a sad tone.“Yes it is, I’m the one that came up with the idea of having some one guard out side”“Yes but it was a good idea, if you didn’t come up with that then we would all be dead”Gary didn’t want to but he had to face the fact that if it weren’t for Bob they would all be dead.“You’re write but from now on I were all on guard duty from now on we always stay together”“But,”“But nothing, we need to take care of each other, were like brothers to each other we’ve always been since we were baby’s, just because were on this island doesn’t mean that should change. Its all about survival now, we need to kill all those monsters before we can start relaxing
