Disclaimer: I sadly do not own Desmond Hume. HE belongs to whoever the bloody genius is who writes the LOST series.
A/N: I'm bored can you tell? Two stories in like an hour. Intense right?
My head ached and my heart hurt. How did this happen? He could have made it out. Damn. I thought. This was all my fault. If I hadn't have been in the hatch as it blew I wouldn't have had those flashes! I wouldn't have had him go down there! But he also would have died before. He would have drowned, a voice in my head said softly. Remember, you can't change fate. No matter what you do. But the flashes! Everything! That was my fault. Remember the first flash you had? You were buying the ring for Penny and that lady told you about this? She could have warned the guy but fate has away of making it so it ends up happening. Think of the good in this. What good. You can warn the others.
WE had been getting the gear together to go back up. The creepy eye-[patch guy had killed the two girls and I had killed him. Charlie was working his magic and disabling the block.
"Guess you don't need those five hit after all!" I called as he called out that he had done it.
"Guess not…" He trailed off. I heard him talking and then he called my name. "Desmond! Des! Come here its Penny! Des!" I looked at him and sure enough, on the screen was my Penny.
"Penny?" I dared to breath. I ran towards the room then Charlie shut the door with a panicked look on his face. There was a small explosion and water flooded through the space that used to be a window. Charlie's face was pained and I knew what he was thinking. We'd jinxed it. He was going to die. He pulled out the sharpie that was in his pocket and scribbled furiously on his hand.
NOT PENNYS BOAT
"Not Penny's boat?" I whispered. He nodded and looked at me. Warn them. His eyes seemed to say. Save them like I couldn't. Then he pushed back, crossed himself and died. I stood there staring for a minute in shock. How could this happen?
I reached the beach and Sayid, Sawyer, Jin and Juliette helped me pull the canoe to shore. I told them everything I knew, everything Charlie had said as he typed in the code. Then Hurley walked up. Sayid was debating with Sawyer about if we needed to tell Jack and the rest of them about this.
"Where's Charlie!" Hurley yelled suddenly. We all looked at him. I met his eyes and saw grief.
"I'm sorry brotha." I whispered. His eyes were full of understanding. The debate slowly came up again but before a decision could be made Hurley chucked the walkie into the ocean.
"Dudes! Charlie's dead! Let's…let's stop arguing okay!" With that he turned and walked towards the tree line.
"Where are you going?" Sayid asked.
"To go tell the others. Come if you want." We all slowly walked into the forest. After a bit we met up with the group who was coming back. They were all so happy. We were leaving this island. Or so they thought. I saw Claire and she was smiling but her smile faded as she looked around. Her eyes locked on mine and I started to walk towards her to explain. To apologize.
"Let me do it dude." Hurley said. I stopped and he told her. She shook her head. She didn't believe him. She looked at me and I shook my head. Her eyes were blaming and sad. I knew this was my fault and someday I would try to make it up to her.
"I'm sorry I whispered. I'm so sorry."
A/N: And that's all. I miss Charlie. I was so sad. I was really mad at Penny actually for a while. I was all, 'If she hadn't have popped up he'd still be here!' I was mad. Anyway. Hope you like it. Review if you would. I love it when you do.
