Mel had wandered off on her own earlier that morning.  As much as she loved the others, sometimes she just liked to have some time to herself to relax and think.  She missed her old life, missed her job and her friends, her apartment.  She knew now after these years they would think to come looking, they must be presumed dead and that hurt sometimes.  She had spent many hours sitting in her favourite spot and just starring at the ocean.  She had become quite adept at fishing, using a spear she had made.  She felt the responsibility for the others keenly, being older it was her natural instinct to mother them.  She didn't get involved much sexually, girls had never really been her thing.  She usually slipped away when they began one of their games.<br/><br/>Mel always a little bit left out, they were all young, and bright, full of life and they had seen this as an adventure.  Well, that was how it had seemed to her.  But Mel saw the dangers, the reality of their situation.  They had no medical supplies.  Luckily as yet no one had needed any treatment, but she was fearful it would happen.  She was certain something would happen that she, as a nurse, wouldn't be able to handle.  She had been day dreaming about this again when the storm clouds covered the sky.  She took to the trees for shelter, knowing it could be a violent blow.  Then she heard the noise of a plane in trouble and the tell tail rumble of a crash.<br/><br/>Running from her place she moved as fast as she could through the trees, she was sure the others would have heard the crash, she hoped no one would be hurt, she would hate to have nothing to treat them with.  She watched the sky, the storm blowing over head.  She was soon soaked, but she kept moving, searching for the crash and wondering if anyone would be alive.<br/><br/>As she emerged she spotted the half sunken fuselage and then Aden scampering over the craft.  She saw a man too and paused, men?  Here?  She gulped and then moved forward, "Aden, be careful" she called, "anyone injured?" she asked, looking round for any signs of others.<br/>
