They passed the plane crash site on the way to the airport. A horrendous news was revealed to them when they reached the airport. There was no soul alive on the island. The airport was unused from ages. Were they on the wrong island? The pilot was sure this was the island. The last time Tanya talked to the scientist, Dr. Dakash Rowley, everything was alright and functioning. What could have happened in one day?

Suddenly they heard a woman scream behind the airport. They ran with all their might to see what happened. An african american woman with curly hair, most probably in her early thirties, was the source of the scream. She was screaming as she saw a dead man. The students screamed in unison. Tanya silenced them and said, “Ms. Janet Winchester, where is Dr. Dakash? What happened here?”

There was terror in her eyes. She ran away in the woods without saying anything. That scared all the girl students there. Boys were scared too but they were acting tough. Tanya ordered the pilot to search for a radio communication on the airport and the students to wait in the hangar.

By the looks of the dead man it was definitely the work of an animal, but there were human footsteps around it. She was confused. She checked the vital signs of the man just to make sure he was dead. His heart was not beating but the weird thing was she was feeling a pulse. That made it more creepy. She thought it was better to burn the body.

As she was superstitious and believed in folklore, she was also scared that this man would turn into some monster or something as he was bitten. So she brought some petrol and gave him a proper cremation. Then she went and bumped into the pilot on the way back to the hangar. The pilot gave her bad news. He was not able to find a radio comm but he could make one in 4 days.

The Contingency Plan

Tanya decided, “Okay guys, Luthor and Natalie, both of you will go to the plane crash site and bring any useful thing both of you can find there. Unfortunately there is no radio comm around here so the pilot is going to make one. It’ll take him four days so we’re stuck on this island till then. Hurry up. Off you go.”

Both of them took off. Luthor was cherishing every moment of this silent walk with her beloved. He purposely fell on her 3 times just so he could touch her. When they reached the crash site, in the cockpit they found a flare, few tents, some knifes, and many other useful wilderness survival things. Natalie found her bag which had her books and other important make up stuff. She was very happy to see the other bags burnt up due to the crash and not hers. When they had all they could find they went back to the hangar. They lit up a fire there and retired for the night.

Somewhere near the hangar Dr. Dakash with his new vision and hunger was planning…
