PC/JumpJess
From Create Your Own Story
She stands there as the plane is reaching it's final minutes.
"Come on, girl! Jump!" you beckon and yell.
"I-I'm scared." she meekly says.
"I'll follow right behind you!" you say. Finally she nods and runs forward, jumping into the air. You follow her closely. As you fall you try and make out more of the island, to no success. However, you can see the white parachute below. To your extreme dismay, they have almost all been separated, and the only one anywhere near your is that girl's. As you draw closer to the island, you can now make out what;s directly under you, a beach on the edge of a jungle. Looking out to sea, you see the plane land in the water, the remains exploding on impact, then sinking. You mourn the pilot and crew, but also mourn yourselves, because it's very unlikely they got any signal out to your location, leaving you and your family stranded on this remote island.
As you near the beach, you realize the winds are pushing you in fast. As your feet touch ground, you stumble at a high speed, your chute wanting to fly off again. As you struggle to release it, you trip and hit your head on a rock, undoing your chute in your final moment of consciousness.
As darkness gradually recedes back, giving way to light, you slowly get up, hurting in many ways. The horrible storm that ruined your life in 30 seconds had passed over however long you were out, half an hour based on the sun. You aren't sure where your chute went, or where that girl is. You just start walking down the beach, towards the setting sun, the west, looking for someone, anyone. You eventually get to a part where the jungle begins to end, and the land next to you begins to rise, making a solid wall of cliffs, and the beach gets narrower and narrower. Eventually you reach an area where the beach opens up again in front of a huge cave. You look around more. The beach is large now, in a semicircle away from the cliffs. Behind you is the narrow path back to the rest of the island. The side of the beach going to sea leads to an area of shallow waters. The edge of the beach next to the cliff, on the opposite side of the path has sharp rocks that prevent passage. The cave that is carved into the cliffs is impressive too. At the entrance is a small crate, with a Journal, a flashlight, some batteries, a pocketknife, and some rope. Excited over your luck and the prospect of human life, you turn on the light and go in. Inside, the cave goes back about 100ft, then dead-ends. The cave branches off into multiple little alcoves, little chambers that would make like rooms. Every family member could have their own...if you ever found them. The are no tunnels into the cliffs or underground, and no sign of life, making it ideal for a home. This, and the fact that the beach is hard to access by someone not welcome, combine to provide a great starting home for you. Content, you sit down to rest before going out again.
It's then that the girl from the plane walks up.
"Thank god!" She says, running at you and hugging you. Awkwardly, you both back away. "Erm, sorry." she says. "I followed your footprints here."
"I'm glad you're safe. I think this is going to be where I make our home for now, that is, if you stay." A quick, affirmative nod confirms your assumption. "Okay, well, this place is pretty good. The cave looks safe, so you can make yourself at home."
"Okay, and by the way, my name's Jessie," she says extending her hand.
Accepting it, you say, "Pleased to meet you Jessie, name's Jack."
