Mile HIGH SEVEN

The Survival

By FloatingUnderTheWaterPublished 8 months ago 7 min read

It all started in their Sixteens...when they have first seen each other in their class X and fell in some deep connection - maybe LOVE or as some scholars say - Infatuation. Whatever it is... they never bothered neither their age!

They met, they smiled at each other...shared tiffin boxes...exchanged notes...studied together and eventually, passed out with flying colours.

Only to know that their families have already planned what they need to study post their schooling and yeah...where to study too...

Our girl...Naina...now a olympic runner...had to move out of the country for the further studies...while our boy...Arjun...a forced well-earning Engineer and a part-time scientist...turns their school love into a long-distance relationship!

While they made many promises during their long time and long-distance relationships - One naughty promise they always wanted to fulfil was to have their first night in a plane to become the part of mile-high club. They know there is no such club but they wanted to make one for their circuit and be the pioneers of it.

I know....Silly!

But you never know what's cooking in between couples! YOU NEVER KNOW!

Here you go...

Now, they are all set with life...doing well in all fronts and finally Arjun decided to propose for a marriage and you all know what could be the answer...yeah i know...could have written more romantically but my single soul isn't helping....

Now...they are married...having their first night under the roof with all the relatives sitting out knowing that the couple are making it out...hahaha

Kisses flowing in...cravings are getting better of them...even cool breeze turning hot...while you wait to read more of it...there the lady remembers their naughty promise and BOOM!!!

They get their tickets done and the newly-wed boards the flight with Arjun in all the mood to make it right!!!

It's a full flight with a people of all ages sitting in minding their own business. A Men and Women's Baseball touring team...a military couple...a love failure..a thief running out of the country...a survivor of the world war...and a lot of business magnets enjoying their time out their...

Is everything going smooth so far???

Mmmm....here comes it...

While the beautiful views outside the flight calling for a life full of moments...their comes the nightmare for all the passengers.

The flight starts shaking...people started shouting...air hostess tried to calm down the situation while pilot trying to figure out what happened... In the blink of an eye...plane started breaking and people near the eject rooms started jumping out...

While the fire caught the front side of the plane...the military man asked people around him to jump out off the plane...With not much of a hope...Arjun and Naina flew out holding their hands together...soon the plane got bursted with little chance of anyone else in the plan to survive...

Arjun...fell in a river while Naina stuck in the trees....the military man fell in the same river as Arjun... while a baseball couple were saved by the pilot who flew out of the plane using his parachute alongside his fellow pilot Julie.

Arjun saw the military man, Rick, crying for his wife, glenn, who missed Rick's hand while jumping off the plan. They both start their search for Naina, who is in unconscious state; though they both are badly injured.

While they search for Naina, they happen to meet the pilot and the baseball couple. All of them keep their search on throughout the night who came across a lot of dangerous animals roaming free out there.

Though Arjun was willing to continue his search...Rick and the others had to stop him to keep him safe in the night. While they treat their injuries overnight, in the morning, Arjun finds Naina, who was helped by Julie. Though everyone found the each other shoulders, in an unexpected scenario, they see the male pilot missing who was guarding the other side of the place overnight.

While all of them are in fear figuring out where did the pilot man go...they hear some sounds from the far away...

Here comes the interval of the story.....with the camera panning to a tribe...who enjoys the pilot's body for their morning lunch...

The tribe look extremely dangerous as all of them were not less than 8-inch tall and with their long nails, weird hair and facial expressions can send fears to even wild animals.

Post Interval:

The survivors were in shock and had to quickly move out of the place to save themselves for the time-being. While running away...they come across the clothes of their fellow passengers who were possibly killed by the tribe.

Rick, the military man, leads the team to a safe place in the forest and tries to hid themselves with a tree covering all over them...

He then tells his story when he and his fellow soldiers made it out when they were stuck in a deep forest and motivates what all of them need to do to bail out from here.

While the tribe keep hunting their food...our Rick, Arjun, Naina, baseball duo - Ranjith & Meenal and pilot julie tries to carve out a plan to save themselves with a little hope to make it out.

Rick goes out for some food along with Ranjith; while Arjun being the scientist himself tries to figure out the way of the forest. Rick and Ranjith who are in an attempt to get the food from the tree kicks honey bee which alerts the food hunters of the tribe, who chase the duo.

They both manage to hid out safely but they had a glimpse of how tribe hunts and their pattern along with their weapons which can easily cut through a well built Elephant.

They got some fruits for the team and meanwhile, Arjun finds a pattern in trees and shows how wind and water moving one side. He believes if they can follow the path of the river...they might end up in a nearby village where they can find some help.

While all of them agreed to move immediately, the soldier Rick wasn't ready as he believes they need some kind of defence before heading out into such a dangerous adventure.

Using trees and the bamboos, Arjun and the team comes up with a few weapons that can keep them safe but the military man was still hesitant as he wants to use the weaponary before trusting them. The internal conflicts arise but Julie settles it down by asking the team to never misunderstand an army man's expertise.

They plan to kill of the hunters of the tribe using their unique weapons created from the bamboo sticks. Rick carves out a plan saying that one of us has to be the bait for the hunter to come nearby while the rest of us attack him from behind. None of us came forward to be the bait, obviously!

But there comes the olympian runner Naina, who put herself as bait saying that she can out run if something goes wrong. As she predicted, the arrows didn't even hurt inch to the giant man. In fact, he could not feel it as well.

Naina runs for her life while Rick and Arjun runs behind the hunter to save her. The olympian runner who is running with all the little energy she has got saw something peculiar with the hunter as the giant was limping while running behind her. Rick observes the neck area which is being protected by their peculiar hairstyle which can handle the bite of the animals.

There comes the solution...with the hint from Naina...the hunters weak points are their legs which is carrying huge body and neck which is being guarded by their strong hair.

Rick asks Arjun to shoot the arrow in the leg and asked Naina to climb a tall tree...Arjun shoots it on the leg and the limping giant which took a look at Naina on the tree, exposed her neck part, which was ripped off by the Rick with his smart knife!

There you go! They now understands how to deal the monsters and all of them went back to the safe house with hours of planning on the ways to escape from the giant if they come across on their way.

Next day morning...they start their way out...

In the meantime, the whole group gets to know the killing of the hunter and all of them gets into the panic mode thinking of the animal which could act so smartly in killing them like that...

From the distance...they saw the team running towards the river to get out of the forest...the king & the queen of the tribe were in sense of wierd smiles before asking the hunters to get them but without killing them...

Rick and the team comes a long way and haven't come across anyone from the tribe so far and they see a big canal, which they think is the final hurdle to get back to their lives.

All the six members Rick, Arjun, Naina, Ranjith, Meenal & Julie cross the river successfully but what they came across was beyond their imagination. They have seen a couple of monsters like Men, who are double the height of the giants in size and weight, killing the hunter giants in a cruel way.

While all of them were in shock standing in front of the fight....the monster giant notices the gang and tries to kill them....

Here comes THE SEVENTH of the gang...Nubiya (with a mask)...the wife of the military man, Rick She quickly takes all the gang from the sights of the monster and takes to a place which she has been staying for the last few days.

She then takes all of them to a secret room that has a few giants from the other side of the river, whom, the rick and the team escaped from...

Their ends the part 1...
