LOST
Chapter 1: The Crash
Was it but a year ago, or and hour ago since I sat on the seat of that plane. No it had to be an hour right, look at the flames. The screams hurt my head and ugh the ringing in my ears what the hell is this! Look at them scream in the pain that has befallen their mortal souls, please shut up so the ringing in my damn head can stop. "STOP SCREAMING," The man yelled walking down the sand beached path looking at the wreckage of the plane that had just crashed but a minute ago. People ran in panic, there was no order.
Running over to the wreckage the man helped a nearby woman out of a flaming wing that had fallen on top of her, and then ran over to more people screaming. 'Can't stand all this noise, don't they know how to shut-up?' he thought to himself helping more people up out of the wreckage since it would be a little impolite to not help them out. When he finally helped out the last person there was he sighed and looked at them.
"Thank-you so much. My names Lina, how about yours?" The woman that he helped out before came to the man seeing how exhausted he was.
"My names, Jacob, but you know what I really don't want more introductions. These people need help, so we need someone like a doctor and quick," The man said before running back off.
Flashback (Jacob):
"So, looks like you still owe me quite a lot of money here. You know you're going to have to pay me back all of it don't you, I wiped out all that evidence against your homicides and that's not exactly the easiest thing to do," A male said shuffling through some papers and looking through them at Jacob sitting in a nearby chair before the desk. The male smiled as he put the papers down showing a certain amount of money that Jacob owed the male, which happened to be around fifty thousand.
Jacob smiled looking at the table in the dimly lit empty room, it was small with barely and space to move and its concrete walls surrounded the room. Jacob's long black hair moved as he scanned the area for about five minutes making the other male impatient seeing as how he would answer. "And don't pay you?" Jacob asked.
The male smiled, "Well if you know me, I'll get ya when you least expect it boy."
Jacob in the blink of a eye jumped on the table and had two pistols pointed into the other males mouth, giving the male no chance to back off. Smiling he said, "You shouldn't tick off a murderer Rick, thought you knew better than that."
Rick started to have a tear move down his cheek trying to keep it together inside his mind and shook his head mumbling with the pistols in his mouth. Jacob removed them to hear what Rick had to say. "Alright alright, I'll give you three more months but that's it, no more covering your ass," Rick said.
Jacob just smiled and turned opening the wooden door and looking back at Rick before closing the door behind him.
Camp was set up at the beach with large blankets and some parts of the planes that were useable so that everyone could have some sort of shelter. It was night at the time and it seemed that all was fine among the people of the island. Inside on tent was Jacob sitting alone. A girl came up and sat next to him. "Mom's been wondering how you've been Jacob," The girl said.
"Sophia, I'm fine. You're my sister after all; I wouldn't lie to you now would I?" Jacob said not moving his gaze to look at the girl known as Sophia.
Sophia looked at him for a long time before turning her head still sitting next to him feeling the cold steel from the planes wing that protected them from the chilled wind. "You've lied to me a couple of times, I should know better than to believe you and you know that. All I hope is that when someone saves us is that you change," Sophia said before getting up and letting herself exit the tent.
Lina was in her tent setting it up seeing as how two other people were going to be staying inside. One was named Nadia and the other was Quiana. Quiana looked at Nadia who was crying because they were going to miss their concert seeing as how the two were groupies. Lina just shook her head seeing as how what they were doing was stupid, and pulled out a book when she was done setting up.
A female sat next to Lina looking at her read. "Fine choice there, can't believe that you'd be reading something at a time like this though," She said looking at the sky before looking back at Lina. "My names Andrea."
"Well my names Lina. I'm an author so I'm just reading a book that I had written earlier, amazing on how many error's you can miss," Lina said looking it over page by page.
Andrea smiled and said, "Well as seeing we'll be here till tomorrow, I guess that is a good idea to be doing something."
Lina nodded with a grin on her face before going back to the reading and kind of ignored Andrea who was still to her for about an hour. Forgetting about her was what she had done, but when she realized that Andrea was still sitting there she said, "Pardon me, I shouldn't just ignore you like that."
Andrea smiled, "No it's alright," She said as they started to talk for awhile.
In another tent was a male in a navy uniform making a tent with a couple of navy supplies he had when he came onto the plane. Looking over his shoulder he noticed a female watching him. "Well don't help right away."
The female laughed and came over helping him make the tent. "Sorry for being rude, the names Kathy. Looks like you belonged to the navy no?" She asked looking at the uniform of the male.
"Thomas Graham, I'm in the navy yes," He said looking over her as they finished the tent.
"Hehe, nice to meet you, I think we should meet more people though since a lot of people are going to need some help right about now," Kathy said as she walked off, Thomas stayed at his tent.
Kathy arrived at two females talking and sat down next to them smiling. "Hey my names Kathy, how about you two?" One happened to be Josie was a band manager, and the other was Sammy who had worked at the morgue as a coroner. "Well it's great to meet you two," Kathy said.
"Uh yeah great to meet you too," Sammy said laughing a little and started to talk with Josie again.
Josie tried to talk to Kathy but she seemed to know more about Sammy so she decided it was best to keep talking to her.
At another tent not too far away was another group of three that had two females and one male. The two females were Sarah, who was a teacher, and Miranda, who was a flight attendant on the plane. The other male was Josh, who was a hitman and not afraid to share it with anyone, they didn't seem to mind though. "So what kind of people do you kill in your line of work?" Sarah asked which Miranda was interested too.
"Mostly people with a lot of money since people with money are envied by those that also seem to have money," Josh said pulling out a magnum by his side, "Always carry this around, but I never used it yet. Only one bullet though."
Miranda got an odd expression, "Well that's just great," She said before laughing a little.
The last tent with important people was near the water, with one male and one female. The male was Justin, who happened to be a police officer, and Melissa, who was a professional skateboarder. "So, why were you on the plane?" Melissa asked Justin not looking at him but at the waves of water.
Justin laughed a little, "There's a wanted person on this island, wanted for many homicides that he committed for his own reasons," He explained.
"So you were going to snatch him right when we'd have gotten off the plane huh, well that's great and all but looks like we have a murderer on the island other than that hitman huh?" Melissa asked still looking at the waves. Something seemed odd about them seeing as how there was no land in the distance.
"Yup," Justin said looking at Melissa wondering where he was.
Flashback (Jacob):
Jacob sat in a coffee café looking at the people walking in sipping away at a iced mocha trying to keep his face from being seen. At the register paying for a muffin was Sophia, who noticed Jacob in the corner of her eye. Sophia walked over sitting at the same table as him putting the muffin down on the table with a sigh escaping fro her mouth. "So, you're here and still wanted huh?" Sophia asked.
Jacob looked over the coat he was wearing at her hearing the rain outside with the grey clouds looming overhead. "Yeah, and I'm sorry about what happened ok I know I promised but-"
Sophia cut him off with a yelling voice, "You didn't mean to!? Oh I'm sorry for seeming like I cared about you trying to make you feel better by giving you one more chance to talk to me and all but you know what it looks as though I was wrong huh? Giving you a second chance seems out of the question right now, I mean how could you just kill my boyfriend then and there?" Sophia asked him in the harsh tone.
"You know what he would've done if I hadn't," was all Jacob said in reply to her.
"I'm just going to go now ok," Sophia said letting a tear go down her face before moving through the door which swung back and forth as she left into the rainy streets. All Jacob did was watch her leave, and then looked back down at the table.
Looking into the forest Miranda noticed the trees start to sway, then they started to bend toward the ground in the distance and a loud howling came from the forest. "What the hell is that?" Miranda asked staring into with the others starting to stand to stare into it with curiosity. Jacob was the only one still seated not really caring what was going on.
Sophia looked over to Jacob just shaking her head without giving a care about him right now. 'What is wrong with him, he's lucky the cops haven't caught onto him yet with the way things are,' Sophia thought to herself trying to keep her mind off of him.
Kathy looked more deeply as the forest stopped with the howling and falling of trees, and then looked at everyone. "Let's just go to sleep everyone, I'm sure we can find out what's going on in the morning. Let's just get some rest," Kathy suggested to everyone that were panicking now, but they heeded her words and went to the tents laying down getting ready for a good nights sleep.
The next morning Kathy started to make a group that would set out for the forest gathering people up. "Alright so who wants to come with me, might as well raise some hands," Kathy said with a perky smile.
"I will go," Andrea said standing up, "I need to see if I can find my husband."
"I want to go too," Sophia said standing herself.
Jacob looked over as Sophia said she was going to go and he stood himself. "Let me come too, you'll need someone who knows how to protect the group," Jacob said. Sophia gave him a glare as he did so.
Thomas also said he should go seeing as how he was in the navy. "It'll help, I have to pistols on me," Thomas said handing one to Jacob since he said he knew how to use one. With this group decided, they moved out into the forest. Thomas took the front, Jacob took the back.
On the forest venture Kathy started the talking. "So what does everyone do?" She asked looking through the trees bushing branches and such. It was silence after the question for a little while.
"Well I don't have a job, used to be an author though," Andrea said.
"Interesting we have one of those on the island," Jacob said looking down at the path as he followed the group.
"Oh yes isn't that so interesting brother, why not tell them your job," Sophia had said after Jacob had talked.
"You guys are related?" Kathy asked looking at them.
"Let's not talk about my career or relation ok?" Jacob asked of her still looking down at the path not seeing that Kathy had nodded.
"Well I'm in the Navy," Thomas said trying to break the tension.
"Sounds like loads of fun killing people huh?" Sophia said with a spiteful tone as she looked at Jacob when she said that before looking back at the group.
"Why do you hate him so much seeing as how he's your brother?" Kathy asked.
"You wanna know why huh!?" Sophia said, "Oh I'll tell you why…"
"Sophia," Jacob said trying to stop her from saying anything.
Just then the howling started again, trees started to move back and forth in a crazy motion.
Flashback (Jacob):
Pacing back and forth in front of the building that appeared as a warehouse Jacob did this waiting for Rick to show up anytime. Rick had come after a couple of minutes of Jacob pacing and looked at him watching for any cars coming. "So you have the money right?" Rick asked still making sure no one was coming since this was a little risky.
Jacob pulled out a bag and handed it to Rick with a grin appearing on the mans face making Jacob not smile at all. "You'll find what you want in there, just search a little because I left a little surprise," Jacob said before walking off into a car that belonged to him nearby, and started the engine driving off and letting Rick breath in the exhaust that came from the car.
Rick dug through the bag looking at all the money inside, oh the riches he could buy with this money that he now had. "I'll still call the cops on him, I can pay my bail for this since I admitted to the crime, but what the hell did he mean by a surprise the money seems to be enough for me," Rick said to himself digging before he found a digital clock inside which was counting down from five. Now four, and then three.
It was but three more seconds later that the bag had blown up with Rick as well since he was holing it. Jacob, driving down the road still, put on sun glasses seeing the explosion in the windshield. "Stupid idiot," Jacob said to himself.
Out from an alley near the warehouse was the police officer Justin. "Looks like he can't cover his steps now," Justin said to himself.
Back at the camp when they first set out Melissa and Justin still sat together talking to each other as the others worked on water, seeing as how the two really couldn't help out not knowing half the survival skills these people knew. "So who were you after in the airplane?" Melissa asked looking at the sea still.
"I was after some guy, he boarded the plane with his sister thinking it would be safe but I'm not sure I can place his name here," Justin said.
"Do you mean that guy that just went into the forest now, I swore that the girl and boy seemed to be brother and sister," Melissa said looking into the forest at the path that the group had taken.
Justin stood, "Shit, I need to get him," He said running into the forest after the group.
Josie watched Justin run into the forest, "I wonder what his rush is for," She said looking at the forest path he had taken.
With the venturing group Jacob and Thomas held up the pistols pointing them at the way the sounds came and the way the trees moved. Nothing seemed to be moving through the trees and plants but something was making them bend back and forth slightly. Then loud banging came as trees off in the distance started to bend in half breaking onto the ground. Then from no where, it all stopped. "What the hell was that?" Jacob asked looking through the trees.
Thomas shrugged not getting anything that was going on and said, "It makes no sense for something to be moving, the wind was fine. I haven't seen anything bend a tree like that though," Thomas pointed to the bent tree, "Since I saw tanks in the war."
Sophia shivered holding Jacob feeling like it was safer to be with him knowing he could kill something. Jacob looked at Kathy and Andrea who were both almost frozen in shock. It then began to rain and whispers came about.
Jacob listened to them and then looked at the other people with him. "Scatter," Jacob yelled running into the forest as everyone else did also.
The whispers grew louder and louder as if following Jacob. Pointing his gun ahead of him he looked around for the source of whispers still not finding anything. Stopping in a circle of trees he looked at all the rain and mud around him.
"You, stop," Someone yelled from no where. Jacob pointed the gun up and looked at the guy coming. He was that cop. Without hesitation Jacob pulled the trigger watching a bullet enter Justin's chest. Justin fell over and Jacob walked to him. "I wasn't the one that was going to die now huh?" Jacob asked putting his foot on the chest where the bullet was.
Flashback (Jacob):
"Here are your tickets miss," A plane ticket woman said giving Sophia tickets, Jacob was watching in the distance. When she moved away from the counter Jacob went up. "May I help you sir?" She asked looking at him.
"Yes, do you have any tickets left for that flight, eight fifty one was it?" Jacob asked looking over at Sophia who hadn't noticed he was buying a ticket. The ticket woman nodded and started upload the files on the computer ordering a ticket for the man that had asked for it.
"Here you are, one of the last two which makes you pretty lucky," The saleswoman said handing him the ticket before looking back down at the computer getting ready for anyone that would ask for another ticket.
Jacob was walking away now and saying to himself, "Luck isn't even the half of it lady," before he sat in his chair getting ready to leave for the trip back to America.
The group found themselves back together near a part of the front of the plane now. Jacob looked at it not mentioning what he had done but looked at everyone seeing that all were wet. "What is the very front doing here?" Jacob asked aloud.
"Who knows," Andrea said.
Moving into the forest was Josie and Sarah who were now searching for Justin. Moving along Josie tripped over something solid and got herself up and looked at Sarah who was now trying not to scream. Looking down she saw what she had tripped over, it was the body of the police officer Justin.
