Chapter 331
Chapter 0331 I realized it wasnt just a backpack ; it was a parachute .
Were we jumping out of the plane ? The man stepped around me and blindfolded me , blocking my vision .
A sense of panic rose in my chest .
I didnt like not being able to see .
He guided me down the aisle of the plane and sat me down .
After he gave us safety instructions and confirmed that we would be jumping from the plane , I sat back and waited for the plane to take off .
Ive never jumped from a plane before , Tabby whispered from beside me .
I knew she was next to me based on her scent when I sat down .
Me neither , I admitted .
But Ive jumped from other things .
I recalled jumping from that tall tree last week during the competition and making everyone gawk at me in the sky .
Lets just try to stay alive , she murmured .
Thats the goal .
It didnt take us long to get to the point in the sky where we were expected to jump .
I heard people screaming as they jumped , each row going after the other .
Once it was my turn , I felt the sharp wind on my face as I stood at the open doorway .
It tugged me forward , wanting me to fall freely and into the vast space .
I kept my hold on the edge of the door to keep myself in the plane until the instructor told me otherwise .
I could hear the faint sounds of the other planes in different sections of the sky and the screams of those who were falling , landing at their destinations .
I tried to figure out how far they were , so I knew where we needed to avoid for as long as possible Once you land , you can take off your blindfold , the instructor yelled over the sounds of the wind and engine .
I gave him a thumbs up as a response .
He gave me a gentle shove and soon , I was flying through the air .
It was strange falling and not seeing where I was going .
I supposed that was part of the training too , being able to ìš” land safely on the ground without using my eyes .
Though I couldnt see anything , it was oddly freeing .
It felt like I was invincible , and I could accomplish anything at this moment .
Like nothing could touch me .
After a short while , I gave it my best judgment before I tugged the string for the parachute to expand , hoping that it didnt fail .
The second I felt it tugging me upward and my speed slowing , I let out a breath .
It expanded … jumping from a plane was not how I was going to die .
It took several minutes , but soon , I was landing in what fel like sand .
The second I landed I tore off the blindfold , untangled myself , and unstrapped the backpack , letting it fall to the Chapter 0331 ground .
I was right , I was on a mound of sand and those that were on my team were also lying around me , untangling themselves from their parachutes .
Most of them were laughing and a couple of them were hugging the ground and thanking the Goddess for survival .
I was in between both .
Looking around , I saw that we were on a beach , but in front of us , opposite the water , was a large forest with trees that towered over , guiding the way to a giant mountain .
It was beautiful but intense looking .
There were small boats docked on the side of the beach , and I knew those were our tickets off this island , but we needed to find the flags first .
Tabby landed beside me and once she got the blindfold off , she grinned at me from ear to ear .
That was awesome , she breathed .
I chuckled .
Once the rest of the team was on the ground and we were all together , throwing off our blindfolds and backpacks , we stood in a circle , staring at one another .
We needed to come up with a game plan because if we didnt work as a team , it could be fatal .
We are here for two days , one of the men , I knew his name to be Chuck , said as he stepped in the middle of our circle .
Which means we need to find shelter and resources for our survival .
We should break off into smaller teams , a woman said , also stepping into the middle of the circle ; I knew her name to be Sherry .
Both of them were fierce fighters that I respected during our last battles .
One team can find food and water and the other can forage so we can build a campground .
And another team should start looking for the flags , Chuck continued .
Its going to be a long couple of days so we should get started right away .
