All I could feel was the water and the pain that my lack of breathing was causing. I flipped over on my back to welcome the coughing that came with the air. Once I had caught my breath, I took the chance to look around. The only thing that was visible in the distance was a large island.
What the hell did he do to me?
"Hey, blondie! Hey, hey!" Sawyer shook Juliet's shoulders. She was sitting on the beach alone, staring out at the water, seemingly lost in thought.
Juliet snapped back to her senses. "James. Sorry... I was.." She struggled to find the right word. What had she been doing. "Thinking."
"Well how 'bout you think about coming over and having some dinner."
"Miles didn't cook again, did he? I don't think I've ever felt so sick in my life."
Sawyer chuckled... That had been an awful night. "Nope. Rose took over this time."
"I might actually join you then." Sawyer gave her his hand to pull herself up on.
It had been nearly two weeks since the freighter had blown up, and the only person who had returned had been Daniel from the Zodiac, who was just as confused as everyone else. The seven of them: Juliet, Sawyer, Daniel, Miles, Charlotte, Rose and Bernard, were quickly getting accustomed to living alone on the beach, although the losses from the freighter were far from forgotten.
Sawyer and Juliet walked up to the sort of eating area the survivors had established to find Rose serving Bernard, and the others already seated and eating.
"What, we miss the reservation?" Sawyer snipped at the 3 already eating.
"We were hungry, that a problem?" Miles snipped back.
"And what if it is?" Miles and Sawyer had been at odds with each other from the second they met, Juliet had always supposed it was their common interest in sarcastic comments.
"Thanks, Rose," she said as she handed her some meat.
"No problem, honey."
So the 7 of them sat down to yet another meal alone, longing for the days when the camp had been bustling with people, but cherishing the days that were peaceful and trouble-free. In fact, they were just beginning to have a fun time when Vincent ran into the middle of their circle, barking like crazy.
"What the hell do you want, Snoopy?" Sawyer snarled, as Vincent approached him. He started to run towards the water when Daniel spotted it.
"Is that... a person?"
