Inanimate Alice Episode 4 Vanuatu Episode 4 Vanuatu Inanimate Alice

My name is Alice. I am 16 years old

After the crash I was left alone to survive in Vanuatu

Its weird not living with my real mum and dad. I miss them lots!

I've been living in Port Villa for 3 years. Learning to live like the natives

I have two sisters now. Stacey who is 5 and Lara is 16 like me. The twins Simon and Darcy are the cutest two year olds ever!

Together we do all the chores and we never separate!

Today Lara and Stacey didn’t come home from school.

Mum and Dad aren't home and I am at our hut when…

Bang!

I hear the warning alarm.

Its not any alarm it’s the cyclone alarm.

Everyone in our small town are running around like headless chooks. I scoop up the twins and take them to the emergency bunker.

Its Ryan, Simon, Darcy and I. Ryan is my best friend and is always helpful.

Brad pops up on my player. Seeing him makes me feel better.

That’s when I see someone peering into the window. Then I hear the door open and Lara stumbles into the room. “where is Stacey?” I stutter. Lara’s once brown face is as white as a sheet. She turns and walks over to me. She grabs my arm and bursts into tears. She explains that on the way home from school Stacey fell out of the boat and, she nor Stacey could swim.

I didn’t hear the rest of the explanation as a huge gust of wind blows down the door.

I scream and Lara runs over to the twins.

The world is swirling around me.

Remembering my first time with mum and dad.

Going out for dinner and laughing about random things.

Running free on my black stallion Diablo. He was the best thing in my life until he fell into a an old abandoned mine shaft.

I can’t believe I am 16 and about to die!

We huddle together and wait…
