[center][b]Summer & Autumn Dillon[/b][/center] Humming softly Summer hardly paid heed to those around her, a young ball of youth sat curled up in her lap, the trip had been long so far, the wait in the airport was tiring for a tyke and this no doubt led to her nap through a majority of the trip. Pale blue eyes almost that of grey flickered from out the window to down at the sibling, pink tinged lips curling up as she continued to hum and returned to looking outside. Arms coiled around the child as she almost appeared to be the mother from behaviour and appearance, sitting nearby on the same 3 seat row was a man, he was quiet, sitting and reading a magazine offered for distraction. He wasn't a fan of flying by the looks of it. He raised his hand and fixed what appeared to be a cowboy hat upon his head, similar to that of the one the young woman wore herself. They were all family on that row, he was their father, though he didn't seem to interact too well with them at this point. Autumn fidgeted in her sleep, trying to roll over as Summer moved her arms to catch her movements and allow her to get comfy in her own way. “[b]It's gone ta be so much harder without mum around, so much more challenging, huh pa?[/b]” she turned her head to look at him as she spoke lightly, the Australian accent ringing on every word. Dark chocolate hues didn't even budge to look at the girl speaking, his hands visibly clasping the edges of the magazine as he listened. Suddenly he raised his head. The pilot spoke through the intercom, “[i]Don't worry folks, I'm going to take a detour around the storm and lightning. There will be some turbulence, so I recommend you buckle up.[/i]” Summer stared blankly at the man gazing down the isles of the plane. She huffed and her pale lightly freckled almost shifted the child, moving her quickly into her seat which caused a stir, the child began to moan and grab at her shirt obviously not wanting to move. “[b]Naa! Ahhh![/b]” Autumn squealed as she was awoken and forced to move, small digits wrapped around the blue plaid fabric her sister wore. She kicked her legs and began to squeal louder as her sister's firm hands worked to unwrap her. “[b]Lookie here Missy, you gotta sit in that there chair or else this planes gone'a crash![/b]” Summer couldn't think of much else to say, “[b]Mum wouldn't be too happy know'n that you ain’t done what'ya been told huh?[/b]” her own voice was firm, it was the voice of a woman well worked and understanding that being gentle aint always the answer. With big bright blue eyes now on her she grabbed the child’s arms, “[b]Now sit down and lemmie buckle you in so we can continue a peaceful flight.[/b]” The child complied and with an unpleasant looking expression she sat within the large chair and allowed herself to be buckled in. Summer received no help from her father in the matter of settling the girl and once finished buckled herself in as well. --- After a small while of a fairly decent flight with harsh turbulence everyone began to hesitate. The plane was going down. Summer went wide eyed looking towards her father, he had his head back against the chair, hands clutching the ends of the arm rests, white knuckles visible. Autumn was squealing again, she was young and didn't understand the matter of the sudden declination in angle and rough shaking of the plane as it moved. Summer reached over and placed an arm over her sister, acting like a second belt. “[b]It's okay, your okay, stay calm …. Dad! What do we do!?[/b]” Summer looked at him and waited, but, got no reply, he was terrified of planes, his eyes were glued shut and his mouth wasn't going to open any time soon. Autumn began screaming and crying as she grabbed at her sisters arm. This was all Summer heard before everything shut off, silence and darkness shrouded her. There were no words in her head, there were no images baring anything, it was only pitch black and not even crickets creaked. --- Summer came too after who knows how long. She stared from where she was, on the wall almost wedged between the window and another row from in front of her. Fuzzy vision made it hard to see as she glimpsed up to see her father and sister still clasped into their seats, she tried to get up and a shooting pain through her made that hard as she collapsed with a partial screech. A slender hand wrapped around her as she inspected the element of pain, a large part of the window obviously when she'd landed there had lodged itself within her side and she recoiled slightly. “[b]Atty! Dad![/b]” she spoke firm as she sat where she was, her dad made no response he was leaning half over limply into Autumns seat as the child twitched the smallest with a high pitched groan. [i]She's Alive![/i] was all that Summer could think, she could care less about her own condition as she tried to stand, haunched over as she tried to reach for the girl. Fingers and arm extended as she gasped from the pain in her side and jerked. Fingertips rubbing across the buckle as she tried to get the button. [i]Click[/i] Autumn suddenly fell, Summer moved her fastest to catch her and in her own movements fell under the weight and pain. Summer curled up in a ball around the child and she sobbed softly, from the pain and relief. Knowing her baby was alive, she had spent most her life raising this child while her mother was too busy and in return gained a bond greater than most. Once she regained her composure she drew herself with the child to her feet. Arms holding the unconscious being as she moved towards an opening in the wall, limping on her left leg due to the glass lodged in that side of her body. She ached everywhere, though she tried to bite her lip and ignore it, there were more important things to do. That's what you learnt on a ranch. [/i]Suck it up princess, theres a lot worse that coulda happened, you fell off, waa waa, get back on and show them whose boss,[/i] she remembered her daddy always telling her. That gave her motivation. They came out near the bottom of the plane. Autumn wasn't coming too yet and remained quiet and limp in the arms of her sister, being carried around the plane as no one else had yet been spotted. Around the bottom side of the plane where the cargo bay was located Summer set Autumn down in the sand for a moment as she headed towards another girl who seemed to be coming towards the plane. “[b]Hey! You alright?[/b]” she called out, the girl was visibly holding her stomach that was coated a crimson red which made her worry, even if she wasn't a child she worried anyway. She herself had that coating down her left side as she latched her side fingers spread around the glass there. [i]What else did she have?[/i] Summer asked herself, it looked like a carrier. As she got nearer it was visibly a cat carrier. “[b]Tiny![/b]” Summer said out loud as she suddenly headed towards the girl, almost collapsing in her movements from the sudden shoot of pain down through her entire side and body. She could hear a mew from the direction as she got closer and stopped in her tracks. “[b]Where there other carriers with that there one?[/b]” she asked hoping that there were, “[b]I need to find Tiny before she wakes[/b]” is all she managed as she waited for a response. Autumn was stirring slowly in the sand, moving about as she let out a quiet groan, she'd be in pain just as everyone else was.
