Lost In The Jungle

Lost In The Jungle


It was a beautiful sunny morning and my brother Toby and I were going to the UK to visit our Grandma. Mum and dad couldn’t come with us but since I was 16 they let me and Toby go on our own. Me and Toby got a taxi to the airport where we board the plane. Since Toby was only six he was excited to see all the big planes. Toby and I were the only ones on the plane and we thought that we were the only ones that were going to be going on that flight. But then a group of 30 kids that got on the plane with a couple of adults. The kids were my age as well. They were going on a school camp. I've never been to a school camp before because our school can't afford to send us on one. We heard screaming, everyone on the plane froze and looked at each other in confusion. Next minute the plane was dropping and people were screaming. The plane hit the ground with a thud...





Not many people survived the plane crash that day. Most people were dead. I was the only one that was still awake. I had a massive headache tho and I had cuts all over my face and arms. I looked at Toby he had fainted and he had cuts all over his body. He had more cuts than me because he was sitting next to the window and the window smashed. I grabbed Toby and went through the exit of the plane. Everything was silent. I could faintly hear breathing but I didn't take much notice of it. When we got through the door I layed Toby down on a grass patch while I had a look around. We were in the middle of a jungle. I could hear water running and birds singing. It was very peaceful. I could hear someone crying and I turned to where I had put Toby down. He was awake. I ran over to him and asked him what was wrong. He said “where are we and why do I have all of these cuts on my body that are hurting really badly.” “The plane crashed and because you were sitting next to the window it smashed so you got cut by the glass”. Toby started crying. I hugged him so he would feel better. I could hear voices. I looked towards the plane and there were three kids my age standing by the plane. “Hello,” I said. “Hello, my name's Ashley, this is Hannah and this is Ryan.” “My name is Bree and this is my little brother Toby.” I said. We were talking for an hour waiting to see if anyone else on the plane was still alive but no one was alive.





We slept on the big grass patch. It wasn’t very comfortable but it was the only place there was to sleep. Ryan woke up first and he went onto the plane to see if anyone was alive yet but no one was. He found a piece of paper in his bag and a pen and he wrote a note. That said “If anyone sees this note, we were all in a plane crash me and four other people survived and we have gone to find our way out of this jungle when we get out we will make sure that we tell the police so they can come get everyone of the plane and if you survive make sure you stay near the plane so the police can find you also try to wake the others up and see if any of them survived.” Ryan woke us all up. Ryan, Ashley and Hannah had their school lunches so they shared them with me and Toby. We started the hike to safety.





It felt like we had been walking for ages. I looked at my watch and it had been hours that we had been walking for. Toby packed a little tantrum so Ryan was kind enough to let him on his back. Ashley Hannah and I were just talking the whole time and getting to know each other better. In the distance I saw a person wearing a black jacket and black jeans. Toby got scared and jumped off Ryan's back and came over to me. Ryan went over to the guy to see if he could help us. He was a really nice person. He came over to all of us to see if we were all ok. He said that he had a campsite not far from where we were. He asked us if we wanted to go stay at his campsite for the night since it was dark. We said yes and we followed him to the campsite on the way he was telling us about some of his adventures in the jungle. We got to the campsite and there were heaps of people there. The guy told us that his name was Michael and that he would get ahold of someone to come pick us up in the morning. Michael had a spare tent laying around so we all slept in the tent.





I was the first person awake and I just layed down for a little bit until someone else woke up. Toby was the next person awake so I took him outside to have a run around on the grass because he was full of energy. The others woke up one by one and came and sat down on the grass that had been freshly cut. Then Michael came out of his cabin “how are we all today did everyone sleep well” everyone answered. Then he made Ashley, Hannah, Ryan, Toby and I breakfast he brung it out to us and we ate as he was telling us more about his life and the adventures he has been on. He all of a sudden got a phone call and rushed off to answer it. He came back 20 minutes later. “That was the helicopter company they are coming to get youse all soon so I would get ready if I was you.” We all packed our bags and then we took Toby to the grass patch so he could have a run around before we went on the helicopter ride home.



We were sitting around the campfire eating lunch when the helicopter turned up. Michael made them a cup of coffee and offered them some cake. After an hour we were in the helicopter on our way home. When we got home our parents all came to the police station. We all met outside while we waited for the police to come out and talk to us. The police came out and asked us if we would go with them to show them where the plane was so the next day we all got up nice and early to go to find the plane. The police had brought us Burger King for lunch and then we got on the police helicopter and went to find the plane. We found the plane and there were three people sitting outside the plane talking. The police called in some more helicopters to help take the plane back; they also called the ambulance helicopter to see if they could help any of the other people to survive. The helicopters all turned up and did their job and went back to the police station. We all went back to our own houses.



Five years later we all went to the same Burger King that the police had taken us to to have a catch up. Last summer Toby and I went to Ashley’s house for a month and Ryan and Hannah were there as well. We all are still great friends and we see each other all the time. All of our parents are friends as well so once a month we all go to stay at Ashley’s beach house. This month we are going to Hawaii because it was a month ago today that we all met.
