Chapter 12 - Brent

Was she hurt? Was she safe?

That was all my mind was wondering as I came to from the crash landing. There were thoughts of protecting her interspersed with the sound of rain ringing off the cockpit.

I found myself regaining consciousness in the cockpit, the pain like a torch burning from one nerve to the other throughout my body. But I had to overcome it for Michelle. I had to get us out of here before anything happened to the plane - and to us.

I got myself out of the seat painfully, and grabbed my emergency supplies bag and strapped it on. Michelle was still unconscious. Thank God she didn't look like she suffered a serious injury, although she had a small cut on her forehead. It hurt to see her in this state, but I had to carry her out no matter what. Every step, movement of my body from here on was for her and to protect her.

I carefully climbed down out of the plane, holding her in my arms. First thing was find to a safe shelter from the storm. The rain pelted us and I knew if I didn't get us somewhere dry and warm things could turn out for the worse.

I hadn't traveled through this area before. It was still pretty untamed. Giant trees and brush filled the horizon and only a thick blanket of clouds above us teased at a chance of light. There was a flash of lightning and I saw a small rock formation that looked like as comfortable as the hotel in a time like this. The sharp stone sloping down like a roof against the rain was as inviting as anything I could imagine right now.

I slowly hiked over the uneven ground, carefully holding Michelle as stable as possible in my arms. It's not good to typically move someone so soon after they have experienced an accident like this, because they may have broken or dislocated something, but there was no real choice. Staying in the plane could have meant for death for her, and getting soaked outside while she was unconscious was no better.

And yet her serene face stood out in the darkness of the storm like a candle, something I had to guard at all costs from all the dangers in the wild attempting to snuff it out. A wet lock of her hair stuck to her forehead and wavered ever so slightly with each step I took, and it was like a sign of her heartbeat for me, a constant sign from her that she was there, and I had to be here with her as long as I could.

I finally reached the rock shelter and gently put Michelle down. I wiped off the excess water from her that I could. Then I took some nearby foliage and assembled a simple pillow for her, and took off my jacket so she would have an additional blanket over the one I took out from the emergency supplies bag.
