Kensi was jolted awake by the cold ocean water. She threw the face mask off.<br/><br/>"What the hell-"<br/><br/>Kensi said to herself and heard so many noises. Most that didn't make sense, at first, as she came back to her own senses. She remembered the plane falling before she had passed out. They crashed! The plane was in the ocean, Kensi realized. She looked out the window and saw the ocean against the window. The water was cold and her hands were shaking as she tried to undo her seat belt. Kensi was vaguely aware she broke a few nails due to how hard she had dug her fingers into the seat's arms. People were yelling the names of their loved ones and the plane...<br/><br/>"Oh shit!"<br/><br/>Kensi yelled, she had to get out of here. This wasn't a movie, no one was going to come save her. She had to save herself. Panic set in as she realized that if she didn't get out of the plane and fast, she was going to die in it. It felt like an eternity but she got her seat belt undone and pushed off the seat. She wasn't a great swimmer, never had been, but she'd be damned if she died in the Pacific Ocean. She used the seats to push herself along towards the escape door. Somehow it had gotten open during the fall. Maybe someone had opened it, trying to escape before they hit the ocean. Maybe the crash had flung it open. It didn't matter how it got open, it was her way out. She could see the sun and water on the other side.<br/><br/>The noises the plane made scared Kensi. It was deafening to her ears, it wouldn't be able to stay like this much longer. The engine was working too hard to allow the plane to try to remain upright in the ocean. Very soon it would sink to the bottom of the ocean. If she didn't get out, it would take her with it. She would drown. She thanked God that she had been given a seat near the escape door. Since Kensi had been so scared about flying, she had made an effort to see where the door was and be near it. Just in case she had needed it. Perhaps it had seemed silly then, but she was thankful now. She rushed as she fast as she could in the water towards it. It wasn't easy, the water had soaked her shirt and jeans. It reminded her of fourth grade water safety class. Clothes weighed you down in the water. She didn't have time to strip down, though. She needed to get out!<br/><br/>Kensi reached the door and jumped out into the ocean. The plane terrified her and she knew she needed to get as much distance as possible between her and it as she could and fast. She might not drown inside it but she was still in danger. It could fall on her and crush her. Or it could explode and she'd die from the blast. Kensi saw a small suitcase floating in her arm reach and grabbed it. She held onto it like it was a boogie board and kicked her legs as hard as she could. Adrenaline and survival instincts were in hyper drive for Kensi. She should be tired, but her mind wouldn't recognize it and told her to keep fighting. Put as much distance as possible as she could between her and the fallen plane. She didn't look back. In the distance, Kensi thought she saw a tree and her goal was to reach it. Nothing else mattered suddenly, all she had to do was reach the tree.<br/><br/>Kensi's mind blocked out everything else now that she had a goal. The people, the plane, everything else was blocked out for the time being. 'I just need to reach the tree. Once I get to the tree, I'll be safe. I get to the tree, I can get home.' Kensi told herself. The tree was salvation. Kensi kept kicking her legs in the water, swimming with the suitcase, even as her adrenaline began to wear off. Swimming towards the tree came as a natural as breathing to her. Escaping the plane and trying to reach a tree that seemed miles of away was tiring, though. Eventually, Kensi closed her eyes and eventually just started to float. Thankfully she floated towards the shore. She didn't even realize when she hit the shoreline and laid on the sand in a heap. Looking like a dead body.<br/><br/>Kensi was jolted awake when she heard Aaron's voice. He wasn't very loud but it was so eerily quiet now. Especially compared to what had happened around the plane.<br/><br/>"I...Did I reach the tree?"<br/><br/>Kensi asked him, looking up at the man.
