Who: Maria Deluca Whitman, OPEN to the other Tailies
When: Wednesday, September 22, 2004. Afternoon, not long after the crash.
Where: Their crash site, which is the jungle and a bit of beach on the other side of the Island from the Survivors.
This got away from me a bit, and is very long. Sorry?
Maria had been talking with the girl sitting in front of her when the chaos had started. Michael had gotten up to pee or something, she couldn't quite remember. But Michael had been gone, so she'd started talking with the girl in front of her. Who seemed genuinely interesting at the time, and then the plane started freaking out. Which was fine, okay. It wasn't her first time on a plane, what with being on the run from the FBI and all, so turbulence was normal, and no one else was worried so why should she be.
That was until all hell broke loose, and everyone was panicked and people were being sucked out of the plane, and she barely had time to get the stupid face mask on, especially with worrying about Michael being gone still, before she blacked out. Her last thought as she slipped into the darkness was that she was sure she was really going to die before she'd get to see her mom ever again.
That sureness probably explained why she was so completely surprised when she came too, and instead of being dead she had a mouthful of kind of salty.. sand.
The blond tried to sit up then, to spit the nasty substance out. But putting weight on her left arm forced a pathetic cry from her mouth as she buckled over and ended up with more sand in her face. She stayed that way for a second, trying not to cry, before she unsteadily tried again, this time putting all her weight on her right arm.
She let out something between a sigh of relief and a cry of agony when she managed to get her face out of the sand far enough to start spitting it out.
The blonde didn't know how much longer she stayed in that position, haunched over and spitting. But finally she sat up on her knees, struggling to stand. She reasoned that if she was still alive, then someone else had to be too. That and she really, really wanted to get away from this spot, now. Once to her feet she found they both, thankfully, seemed to work alright. Though she was sore as hell and had to take each step carefully. Thinking about each one much like she was relearning to walk. Once she felt she had the whole walking thing down again, she started looking around. The panic hadn't quite settled yet, but she knew it would eventually so she took the opportunity to try and find others, to try and help, or figure out where she was, or something.
Anything but lay in the sand. Laying in the sand would be bad.
Realizing the panic was beginning to hit, she started walking a little faster toward someone laying in the sand. She was probably pushing her shaky legs harder then she should have, but they'd deal. She needed to get to the person, needed to see if they were alright. Mostly she needed to get her mind busy, or she could.. die of shock, or something. Something not good.
As she stepped closer to the person, she began talking, though mostly to herself. "Hello? Please, please be alive. I don't think I could deal with you being dead, okay, whoever you are. So, just be alive."
