CHARLIE'S DECISION
CHAPTER 1
Charlie gasps for air and stares out into the water around him with no hope of finding Desmond.
He climbed into his boat and started to paddle to shore. When he got to the shore he pushed his boat
on to the shore. Charlie sighed starring out to sea one more time then started out to find his friends.
Back at camp
"It's working!" shouted the excited voice of Niome.
Her communicator was flashing green, everyone
Started cheering not knowing what became of Desmond or what danger Charlie was in.
A sad Charlie walked through the forest muttering
"Desmond… poor Desmond I'm so sorry, It's all my fault it's always my fault"
Suddenly there was a crunching sound behind him, Charlie stopped
"Hello?" He called out
Just then a polar bear jumped out Charlie screamed out loud as the polar bear charged him
Charlie thought I was so close to.
At camp they heard his screams a brown haired guy named jack called to a man sayid.
They started to run towards the screams.
"Hold on Charlie!" sayid called out
Charlie screamed in pain again as he struggled to get away from
the polar bears terribly sharp claws piercing into his sink and shredding it
Charlie felt the blood drip down his sides Charlie struggled to keep his face aimed away.
When jack and sayid got there jack shot the polar bear with a gun.
Jack ran to Charlie when the polar bear was down he push the polar bear off him
and stared at his wounds.
"OK sayid we need to get him back to camp, RIGHT NOW!" jack called
Sayid looked over and nodded Charlie's eyes fluttered open,
"Dad?" Charlie's voice sounded.
"No Charlie it's me jack." He told him Charlie's eyes closed again
Jack looked down and picked Charlie up with the help of sayid,
together they dragged him back to camp.
When they got back to camp Claire saw them drag Charlie in and she ran over to help
"What happened to him?" she asked
Sayid let go of Charlie and let jack take him into his tent.
Slowly everyone gathered around to see and hear about what happened
Sayid spoke up "Charlie got attacked by a polar bear!" he announced.
Gasps went through the people.
"Jack will tell us if he'll be ok, but until then let's just calm down"
IN JACK'S TENT
Jack went through cleaning all of Charlie's wounds
He might need surgery jack thought to himself
"ok Charlie let's see what I can do for you" jack whispered.
2 hours later
"uggghhhh!" Charlie groaned.
As he opened his eyes everything was blurry for a second then clear.
His whole body was in pain his legs ached his arms burned.
"Don't try to move." A familiar voice warned
Charlie looked over to see jack.
"what happened?" Charlie asked
Jack sighed "you were attacked by a polar bear."
Charlie shook his head and laid flat again.
"you lost a lot of your blood." Jack added
Charlie lifted his head " d.. des.. desmond, H..he is…" Charlie stammered
Jack leaned in close to hear
"desmond is dead" Charlie finished.
Jack sighed and closed his eyes
"It's all my fault, it's always my fault." Charlie sighed
Jack opened his eyes and stood up as he walked out of his tent he told Charlie
"it's not your fault Charlie, try to get some sleep ok."
The next day Charlie opened his eyes and stood up and walked out of the tent.
"Charlie!" Another familiar voice called
Charlie looked around until he found Claire running to him.
When Claire got to Charlie she hugged him.
Jack comes up behind her
"how are you feeling?" he asked
Charlie stared at him and shrugged
"ok…. Well better than I was" Charlie smiled
Jack smiled and laughed shaking his head.
"Are you hungry?" he asked Charlie
Charlie looked around "um… yeah…"
Then ran over to the edge of the forest where a soaking wet desmond stood.
Charlie hugged him crying " desmond….I'm so sorry."
Desmond pulled him off and stared at him
"Charlie what in bloody hell happened to you?" Desmond asked
Charlie laughed with desmond
"I got attacked by a polar bear in the for….."
As Charlie took a step back he fell
Desmond jumped forward and caught him.
Jack ran up with Claire at his side
"put him down slowly." Jack warned
Charlie opened his eyes and laughed
"My legs feel like Jell-O." Charlie told him and laughed.
Turning serious
"why couldn't I walk jack?" he asked
Jack stared at him and sighed
"Charlie I didn't want to tell you this but you lost more than halve of your blood,
I was lucky to get you back here in time otherwise…..
You would have died."
Charlie stood up and had an annoyed look on his face
" what else? You're hiding something!" he asked
Jack looked away and sighed
"Charlie your organs inside were bleeding too I didn't expect you to pass through alive."
Charlie gazed off into the sea out on the shore.
Charlie stood up and walked out into the jungle.
