Author's Note: I want to write a fanfic that is actually several chapters long, so I am going to continue with this. Since Danielle is my favorite character, and there aren't that many Danielle fics out there, I chose to write her story. Sorry this chapter is so short, but it's just the prologue. Hopefully I will put the next chapter up later today, and it will be longer. I also apologize that the author's note is longer than the actual chapter. But then again, I don't know why you're still reading this author's note.
Summary: When Danielle's ship crashes on the island, she is thrust into a mysterious, unknown world. Can she outrun the monsters she encounters, or are these monsters something more? The monsters that are deep inside every human being?
Disclaimer: I don't own Lost. If I did, I would be in heaven.

Foreshadow the Dark: Prologue
The ship lurched back and forth violently, threatening to tip over at any moment and hurl the scientists into the black water to their deaths. Several people had already been thrown overboard, but still, the storm raged on, unaware that its wrath was taking innocent lives.
"Danielle!" a man's voice screamed out, barely audible over the noise of the storm. "Where are you?" he asked in French.
The woman in question was currently kneeling down and shielding herself and her protruding belly from the pelting rain, which was coming down in dark sheets, making visibility near impossible. Her safety harness was strapped to the deck. "I'm over here!" she responded, also in French, having to shout at the top of her lungs just to be heard. The man, who's name was Robert, rushed over to her, although it took him awhile to actually reach her.
"You should be below deck!" he screamed.
"I tried, but I didn't want to unlatch the belt because I was afraid I would get swept away!" She looked up at Robert, only to receive a face-full of spray. She sputtered against the water.
"It's okay! But we're pretty close to the hatch! If we-" But he didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. The ship hit something hard, which sent violent tremors across the deck. Both were thrown forward and Danielle's head smashed against the pipe she was attached to. Her vision blurred, eventually giving way to darkness.
