Author's Note: Really short, not my best, and written in as close to Shannon's voice as I could get. I was surprised about how nonchalant she seemed about Boone dying in the preview and this is what came from it.
John Locke was the reason we had a funeral today. He was the reason that Boone and I hadn't talked in weeks. He was the reason my brother was gone. He used psychology to take Boone from me. Ever since we got on this island instead of doing what I said, he hung on Locke's every word. Downgrade, if you asked me.
There were leaders all over this place. Jack was the one who made sure everyone was okay. Sayid was the brains. Sawyer had all the supplies. Michael was in charge of building that damn raft. Locke manipulated people. That wasn't going to work anymore. I let him have my role for a couple of weeks, and this was what I ended up with. A dead brother and streams of mascara running down my face.
Sorry, Locke. I'll be the manipulator now. You may have tricked Boone into doing all of your dirty work, but let's be honest, he wasn't fully functional. I have people like Jack and Sayid on my side. Good luck.
My entire life Boone had followed me around. Sort of like a lost puppy. We end up fucking falling out of some plane and you think that you can take over. News flash, Boone and that dumb little kid were the only two people around here that you didn't creep out. Now that one half of that pair was gone, the only person willing to fight for you is a ten year old. That was until you end up killing him too.
I don't know what ideas you put in Boone's head. Probably that I'm some fucking awful bitch who could do nothing for him here. Maybe we weren't related by blood, but we were family. Family means a hell of a lot more than a three-week friendship with a psychotic old man.
When Sayid asked me if he could do anything, I knew what I had to say. I knew what it meant for you, Locke. I knew that this would be my chance to get revenge. For me, for my brother, and for you tearing us apart.
"John Locke killed my brother, will you do something about that?"
