The Holiday Gone Bad

I wake up to my clock buzzing like a bee with the sun shinning on my face. It is 7:30 in the morning and today is different to any other day. Today the family are going on a holiday to Brazil.

I quietly tiptoe downstairs trying not to wake my parents. I make my breakfast and sit down at the table. As I am about to turn on the TV, I see a map of the world and the route highlighted in yellow is the trip we are going to take.

I finish my breakfast and look at the time as it is 8.00am.

I rush upstairs past my parents bedroom and see them getting dressed and making they have packed everything. Luckily my parents packed our bags yesterday.

In 10 minutes the whole family are dressed and ready to go.

Filled with excitement, we all rush out the door and into the car.

We arrive at the airport earlier than expected so can go through Customs before all the passengers arrive. We passed through Customs really quickly and before we know it we are in the waiting area ready to line up to board the plane.

A large group of people rush to the line but luckily we came early.

As we sit down at our seats and I look to the front on the plan and see a lady running through the safety procedures.

The pilot announces the flight details and tell us that there might be turbulence along the way.

Today the pilots decide to take a different route to Brazil to shorten the flight by 1 hour and to avoid the turbulence They announce over the speakers that we will be flying past uncharted islands during our route.

After 20 minutes of waiting to take-off, the plane's engines start up and then the plane taxis to the runway.

When the plane takes off, the plane shoots like a bullet going faster and faster and I have to old onto my seat.

The plane shoots up into the air and the clouds. We look through the window to see a sheet of clouds below us like a white fluffy blanket.

When I wake up from my sleep tired and exhausted, I am told we are half way there. I am so excited I just can wait until we arrive at our hotel.

Then out of nowhere there is major turbulence and I look out the window to see the engines failing and smoke coming out. The plane started to drop and everyone started to scream and panic.

Everyone was too scared and they were not listening and following the emergency procedures but me and my family did.

I was scared and so was everyone on the plan and all I could hear was people screaming and crying.

Then suddenly a BIG BANG!

When I wake up with a sore head, there is debris and fires everywhere. I look around and surprisingly I see no one else but my family and I. I was cut and bleeding but I was fine. I don't think I had any major broken bones and my parents just had cuts too.

My parents and I searched for other survivors but found no one. I was scared and shocked.

As I was searching for survivors I saw one of the pilots limp out of the cockpit. He saw me and called me over to help him out of the plane.

I helped him to a seat. He told me about a beacon in the plane that we needed so we could call for help and be rescued.

I saw my parents come back from the other side of the island and they were happy to see someone else alive. They came to the cockpit to hep me find the beacon. We found it and tried to start it up but there were no batteries.

My dad and I searched the cargo for batteries for the beacon and my mum searched for food and water.

We opened every single electronic device that we found in the luggages and found one battery that was in a I-Pod touch.

We placed the battery in the battery slot and the beacon worked. My dad turned it on. Now we had to wait for a helicopter or boat to arrive to rescue us.

After 2 hours of waiting and being very scared, we saw a helicopter in the distance closing in fast.

We were so happy that we hugged and kissed each other.

In a minute the helicopter landed and the rescue team helped us on board and treated our wounds and gave us food and water.

The rescue team searched the surrounding areas for survivors but they found no one.

The helicopter then took us back to home to Australia.

THE END THE END
