Snippet #1961945

She had only taken a few breaths to calm herself down before a bolt of lightning flashed around her right side; the next thing she knew, Andy was staring at the plane wing smoking. Andy’s chest expanded as she gripped the seat tightly, breathing heavily before the plane dived into the water. Andy started to panic, trying to undo her seatbelt quickly; by the time she was able to undo her seatbelt which tied her down into the seat, the plane was quickly filling up with water.

Andy pushed herself up as the water suddenly thrashed violently against her body, making it even harder. It pounded against her body over and over again, finally able to free herself from the chair as she grabbed the top of the compartment over her head; the water suddenly thrashed against her body again, causing Andy to lose her grip quickly and her body flailed backwards, her back hitting the top of the seat. A loud yelp escaped from her lips as she flipped over the seat and landed onto the seat behind, her.

Her lungs took in so much salt water that she nearly choked and drowned; her hands ruffled up against the back of her own seat as she turned around, seeing something she wished she hadn’t; it was the man who she knew nothing of that sat behind her- his eyes wide open, staring at her yet he did not breath. The man was old and sweet looking, and she felt like crying before another wave of the violent water thrashed against her, causing her to go under. Her eyes flicked open instinctively just in time to see a huge suit case thrash into her stomach, causing all the air to escape from Andy’s lungs. The pain was too much as she violently moved against the water, finally making her way to the small air bubble that was left; she painted heavily before looking around- feeling like the only person left in the plane.

Her eyes stung against the air before she spotted something red in the water; the emergency door. She took a deep breath, which pained her much before she went under, the thrashing water filling up whatever air bubble that was left. There was no turning back now. Andy’s hands latched onto the chair, her vision blurred with a messy mix of what she guessed was blood and water; fear swelled up into the pit of her stomach as she swung the door open, causing the faint sound of an alarm to go off in the water, soon silencing. Oh, how fast the plane was torpedoing through the water!

Andy started to choke, her mind fearing of what might happen if she so happen to swim outside. Her eyes peered to her right, and the sight of a man that seemed no older than her, dead sent shivers down her back and it was all she needed to make her escape. Her hands gripped the outsides of the plane before she forced herself through the emergency exit, her back ramming against the top of the door. Air bubbles released and a loud, ‘Humpf!’ was heard throughout the water. She struggled immensely before she was actually out of the plane, and when she exited, she realized just how desperate for hair she was.

Andy’s eyes looked upwards, her lungs dying for air as she saw how far away the surface was. Her hands thrashed upwards as she started to swim for the surface, finally being forced to open her mouth, filling her lungs with even more water. She gurgled and her speed became slower and slower, her strength became weaker and weaker. Andy felt the fear of death creeping up behind her before her hands reached the surface. Air! Andy busted through the waters, gasping for air before going back under once more, causing her to thrash her hands even harder against the surface. Already, her insides where on fire and stricken with so much pain, that it hurt to move; her head was pounding as she reached the surface once more.

She bobbed against the waves and surface for what seemed like minutes on end before a giant wave crashed against her, carrying closer to land, but under the water once more before bring her back out once again, away from the land. Andy thrashed her arms again as she tried so desperately to swim, yelps and yips escaping from her mouth as she felt the hot tears burn her eyes. Suddenly, Andy burst into tears, her lip shivering as she hiccuped, yet, she kept swimming despite how hard she was crying.
