Chapter Text
Adam
I didn’t remember much but only a bright light engulfing the entire screen. My plane was hitting a laser beam or something. As I saw the orange light my eyes turned dizzy and black.
I slowly opened my eyes after what felt like eternity. My vision was very blurry however. My glasses must have been destroyed from any sense of impact.
I rolled my neck around to check my surroundings. Immediately, my head was very dizzy. I held it with my hand and closed my eyes to contain the dizziness. After a couple seconds, I slowly opened my eyes and tried to look around myself again.
My helmet was still on my head, but the glass was smashed to pieces. My suit was still a little bit intact, but ripped up and bloody everywhere. Soon enough my senses started to come about. I could see things a tiny it better but not much. Then I started feeling the bones in my body. Some places were aching more than others. I couldn’t move my right knee at all. Broken. I felt a strange buzzing feelings all up and down my left shoulder. I tried to move it up and down, but I could barely make a 90 degree angle. I moved it back and forth until I heard a popping sound in my shoulder. The buzzing feeling subsided exponentially but it was soon replaced with a dull ache.
I saw the red spots on my suit start to grow bigger and bigger. I put my hand on one of them for a couple of minutes to try and stop the bleeding.
Then I started hearing all around me. Loud crashing sounds made my head even worse and grunted every time a rock would collide with the earth.
“H-hello…” I managed to open my mouth slightly. Barely anything came out of my mouth because of all the pain. I realized that my helmet was basically destroyed so any chance of communication went out the window, along with almost the entire aircraft.
More sounds of explosions and canons and collisions erupted. I grunted louder this time and buried my head in a fetal position. I need to get out of here. I thought. I’m not safe.
Once the sounds started to subside, I took my time getting out of the ship but I also tried to be as efficient as possible. It was destroyed in all different ways from burnt marks to a wing being completely broken off. Everything was majorly unstable and I could had fallen to my death any second. But wait, didn’t I just fall to my death?
Maybe I was able to dodge away at the very last second or maybe the universe gave me a freebie?
I shook my head and screamed in pain that time. Okay bad idea. Don’t do that. I gritted my teeth and forced my knees out of the chair and over the broken glass. Next went my hips and stomach and then my shoulders and head. I tried my best to gingerly slide down the ship and onto solid ground. My whole body ached as it moved down, but I pushed through it nevertheless. You need to get help. Come on fight.
Finally, my whole being was on the ground. I sighed with relief and tried to cautiously stand up while holding onto the side of the plane. I looked all around me to try and find some bit of safety. My luck started to turn when I spotted a small cave not too far away from my ship.
I slightly smiled and attempted to walk in that direction. Sadly, my legs gave in on me and I collapsed instantaneously. I decided to crawl all the way to the cave instead of risking more injury to try and walk again.
It took everything inside of me to not cause any attention to myself. Every step my body sent jolts of pain throughout my nerves system. I gritted my teeth and finished crawling to the cave. It was small and condensed but it was all I had. I sighed and slowly lowered myself into the natural cave. Everything was going okay until my right leg lost its footing and I slipped into the hole. I felt my back connect with the rock hard. I then heard a small crack in my rib cage and suddenly felt the bursts of pain too; I couldn’t help but scream even louder than before. After a second, I decided to lay on my back and just breathe.
In and out.
In and out.
In and out.
I sighed. I need to stay here until the fighting dies down. I won’t stand a chance weaponless and injured. Just sit tight and don’t get caught. Maybe someone will find me down here...or not.
