A/N: So I got this idea, out of nowhere, while I was watching the trailer for the movie. Mostly seeing Emily de Ravin in it put the idea into my head. And I thought it would be great to write a horror fanfic, based on the movie. I'll change the events a little, I'm going to soften them. So the story is not for psycho maniacs, that expect to see a detailed description of the rape scene, that was in the movie. I'm planning on skipping that part, actually. The fic is not going to be, as dramatic and as bloody, as the film is. I'm not saying there will be no blood or drama, but like I said before, I'm going to soften the events from the movie and change them a little bit.
Oh and I'm gonna say right away, that some of the characters will end up dead. And when it happens, do not attack me about it. I gave you a warning, like twice already. If you don't feel strong enough to read about the death of you favorite character(s) from Lost, then it's simple: DON"T READ!
So… consider yourselves warned.
Hope you enjoy!
Massive hugs for my Beta, Wickedgal08! I wouldn't have even bothered to update the fic without her help! Thank U so much!!!
Chapter 1: "A Trip to San Diego."
New Mexico Desert
It was late at night. The wind wailed ominously through every nook and cranny of an old house at the gas station called 'Gas Heaven'.
Some whispers and footsteps could be heard from the inside and woke up an old man, who was sleeping in his bed. He groaned with fury and got up. He was fully clothed.
The man grabbed a rifle from a counter and exited his bedroom. He walked out of the house, looking around.
"Ruby?! Is that you?!" he called out "Ruby?!"
The man cursed under his breath and walked away from the station, keep calling out.
He passed an old, destroyed fence by and following the track he made his way to a downward slope, leading to a dark, dismal mine.
"If that's you, Jupiter…I got some buckshot for you!" he yelled into the darkness. And with that he turned and stormed off, back to the gas station.
When he was close to the house, he spotted a black bag near the door.
"I told you, it's over!" the man shouted, turning around "I'm out, ya hear me?! You're on your own now!" he yelled and then a resignation appeared on his face, as he added: "I-…I'm sorry, I can't do this anymore… " And he entered his house, taking the bag, unaware that someone had been watching him.
"Charlie, damn it, hurry your ass up!"
"All right, all right, I'm comin', okay?!" a young Briton with blonde, short hair and blue eyes yelled out from his room. He put his guitar to a black, big case and then left the house, approaching a group of people, standing next to a big car with a trailer.
"Well, howdy, Chuckie!" a blonde-haired Southerner growled, looking annoyed.
"Bloody hell, what's the big deal, Sawyer?" Charlie snapped, opening a boot of a car.
"What do you need the guitar for?"
He turned to look at the brunette woman, who had asked him the question. She had long, brown and curly hair, green eyes and freckles covering her nose and cheeks.
"Hello? We're going on a vacation. I'm going on a vacation with a bunch of bores. I'm gonna have to kill the time somehow, right?." He explained, slamming the boot of a car.
"Hope you're not referring to me." A girl with blonde, long hair and blue eyes came over and smiled at him.
"No, no, love!" Charlie assured her, smirking and kissing her cheek.
"Good." She stated and rolled her eyes "It's not like you have to go anyway…"
"Claire!" a man with brown, short hair called, approaching the crowd with a one year old baby boy in his arms "Could you rescue your brother from your child?"
"Yeah, sorry, Jack." She apologized and took the boy from him "Hey, sweetie."
"Okay, so we're all ready?" Jack asked "We can go?"
"Yeah, but we'll have to stop somewhere." Claire announced, surprising all her friends.
"Why?" Charlie questioned with a frown.
"Coz we need to pick up Ana."
Kate's eyes widened and she looked at Jack, as if waiting for him to protest. Charlie rose his eyebrows and murmured something under his breath and Sawyer paled.
"She… she's coming with us?" the Southerner asked quietly, staring at Claire with a mixture of confusion and shock in his eyes.
"Yeah. I called her yesterday and invited her. It took me a while to convince her, but finally she agreed…" Claire answered, not aware of everybody's reaction.
"Why'd you do that?" Jack asked, glancing at Sawyer "You know, that--"
"Hey, she's my friend, okay? And I don't care, what you think about it, all right? Besides, goddammit, it's been a long time, people! Don't you think it's time to let it go?"
"But… but Claire…"
"Besides, if anyone has a right to be mad here…" Claire threw in, interrupting Kate "… it's Ana…. And not any of you, guys.." She added, as if challenging them. Nobody tried to protest anymore, so Claire turned on her heels and came over to the car with Aaron. After a minute everybody else got in and Jack took off, driving away from the house.
A young Latina with dark, curly hair and almost black eyes opened the door and faced a smiling blonde girl.
"Hey, hun. You ready?" Claire asked happily, but her smile faded a little, once she saw her friend's face.
"I'm not sure…" Ana Lucia murmured and walked away to her room. Claire sighed heavily and entered the apartment, closing the door behind her. She followed Ana and leaned against the door frame, watching the Latina's back, that was turned on her.
"What's wrong? Did you change your mind?"
"Claire, I don't think it's a good idea, y'know… I shouldn't have agreed." Ana said, zipping up her backpack and turning around to face the blonde. "I don't think they'll enjoy my company and--."
"Don't be stupid, Ana." Claire threw in, sending her a sharp look "They have no right to be angry at you and you know it!"
Ana didn't respond. She just sat down on her bed and stared at her packed bags. Claire's eyes softened and she came over to her and sat beside her.
"Tell me the real reason, why you don't wanna come."
The Latina remained silent.
"Is it because of Kate?"
Ana grimaced and shook her head.
"No… I wouldn't waste a chance to go on a vacation, because of…her."
"So it's because of Sawyer, right?"
She closed her eyes with a heavy sigh and after a while opened them again, nodding with enthusiasm.
"You know what? You're right!" Ana said firmly and grinned, getting up. "I ain't gonna let him destroy the trip! After all… I haven't seen you guys for a long time and it'll be awesome to spend some time with y'all."
And with that she stormed off, leaving behind a surprised Claire.
"Vincent!" she heard Ana calling "Come on here!"
The blonde exited the bedroom and was greeted by a big Labrador, jumping up and trying to lick her face.
"Good boy!" Claire gasped, stroking his ears and glancing at Ana.
"You gonna help me with the bags?"
"What's taking them so long?" Charlie asked, yawning and stretching his arms above his head, accidentally hitting Sawyer.
"Watch it, Chuck." He snapped.
"Maybe she's not ready yet…" Jack said with his head rested on a wheel. Next to him, Kate was chewing her gum lazily with her arms crossed over her chest. She seemed to be really pissed off. Sawyer, on the other hand, looked nervous.
"Here they are." Charlie exclaimed suddenly and Sawyer jumped up a little, turning around to see for himself. Ana and Claire were indeed walking towards the car with bags and Vincent, running behind them. He swallowed hard, as he looked at her for the first time since their last argument four months ago. He felt, as if something was squeezing his throat, not letting him breathe normally.
"Hi, Ana." Jack greeted her with a smile, getting out of the car. "How are you?"
"Hey….Uh…okay, thanks." She said softly, hugging him.
"Here. Let me help you with those." He offered, pointing at her bags.
"Thanks."
Once her stuff were all in the boot, Ana took her place in the car right next to Charlie, who was now between her and Sawyer. Vincent laid down under her feet.
"Hiya, Luce!" The Briton exclaimed with a big grin on his face, pulling her into a hug.
"Nice to see you too, Rock star." Ana gasped, patting his back and resting her chin on his shoulder. Her eyes locked with Sawyer's and he sent her an unsure, small smile and she managed to respond with her own forced one. Kate didn't even say hi to her. Not that it bothered her.
Finally Charlie pulled back, but he wasn't about to leave her alone.
"Man, you've changed." He remarked, smirking "I didn't think it was possible for you to be hotter, than you already were--"
"Hey!"
The pair turned to look at Claire, who was sitting before them and glaring at Charlie.
"Was just kiddin', gorgeous." He tried to explain, but she was having none of it and moved forward a little to smack his shoulder. He yelped in pain, which made her glare harder.
"Ouch?" he whispered, staring at her with surprise in his eyes. Ana pressed the back of her hand to her mouth to muffle her laugh. Claire smirked at her and turned around.
Charlie glanced over at Ana and she shrugged, amused.
"You were asking for it."
"Jack, are you sure you know, where you're driving us to?" Kate asked with a doubt in her voice.
"Yes, I'm sure." he tried to reassure her and everybody else, as well "I just took the longer road. Want to see the desert."
"What's so interesting there?" Charlie complained "We could be faster in San Diego if you took the other road."
"Hey, we're on vacation, right?" Jack argued "Don't I have a right to see something more, than just what we planned?"
"No." Sawyer and Charlie said at the same moment.
"Well, it's your problem. I'm the driver here." The doctor said in a tone, that was obviously supposed to finish the conversation.
After two hours everybody was really sick and tired of the ride. Jack ignored all their laments, though, not wanting to stop. Kate fell asleep in the front seat with her head on Jack's shoulder. Claire was busy with putting Aaron to sleep, while Charlie was trying to help her, by singing to him. He had to bend forward to be closer to the baby and automatically the only person, that was separating Ana from Sawyer was gone. He risked a glance at her and was even about to start a conversation, but as soon as she caught his stare she turned her head, pretending to watch the houses they were passing by. His eyes saddened and he let out a heavy breath, resting his forehead against a window.
Few more hours passed, as Jack finally stopped the car on a gas station. It was a weird place. Just from one look they could tell, that whoever was here didn't have visitors often.
"You all wait here." Jack said and got out of the car..
"It's nasty out here." Charlie commented and then stared at Claire "Tell me again, why we couldn't fly like normal people?"
"Coz they wouldn't let my brother drive the plane." She answered him sarcastically.
"Oh, right… Kay, I'm going to stretch my legs!" he announced and motioned for Ana to let him get out. She glanced at Sawyer quickly and shook her head.
"I'm gettin' out too." Ana told him and got out of the car with Charlie following her. Claire glanced over at Sawyer, who was obviously disappointed and sent him a sympathetic look.
"Hello?!" Jack called out "Where's everybody?"
After a minute a man exited the house. He was dirty and smelled really bad. He wore an old hat and he had a cigarette in his filthy mouth. Ana furrowed her eyebrows at the sight and Charlie clenched his jaw to stop himself from laughing.
"Oh, hey." Jack greeted him, trying to act normal.
"Hello! It's hot out here, ain't it?"
"Yeah…Fill her up and check the fluids, please." The doc instructed him.
"Oh, yeah. Right away, sir." The man said, smiling, making them notice his lack of teeth. He walked over to the car without another word. Ana grimaced a little.
"Hey, Louie! Come over here!" Charlie called her and she glared at him for the nickname.
"What up?" she asked, as soon as she was close enough to see, what he was gazing at..
"Look at that." He said, pointing at small pig, that was tied up to a fence. "Little baby piggy! Little baby piggy!" Charlie sang and knelt down next to it, leaning the side of his face against the pig's snout, as if posing for a picture.
"Aww…You two make a perfect pair!" Ana teased, smirking down at him.
"Thanks, you're sweet, Lou." He responded, grinning. "He's a good little piggy! Ain't you? Yes, you are!"
Ana raised her eyebrows and couldn't help, but laugh out loud.
"Don't you know it's illegal to smoke around a gas pump?" Kate asked Sawyer, as they stood next to the car.
"Yeah…" he drawled, blowing out smoke from his mouth "…and?"
The brunette shook her head with a smirk and then her eyes narrowed, as they found Ana. Unfortunately, Sawyer noticed her glare.
"Don't you dare say something nasty to her, Freckles."
"What?" she snapped, not really listening to him.
"I'm talkin' about Chica over there. You stay away from her, Kate. We've both done enough to her already."
"Not more, than she's done to us." She argued, turning to glare at him instead.
"Don't start." He warned her calmly, throwing his cigarette away.
"Fine." She growled, walking away to Jack. Sawyer watched her go and rolled his eyes, when she wrapped her arms around the doctor, still glancing at Ana now and again. He looked at the Latina himself and felt weird, as if his stomach has just dropped a little.
"Hey!" Ana snapped at Charlie "What the hell are you doing?!"
He had his back turned to her and was busy with 'watering' grass in front of him.
"Don't pee there!" she snapped again, but he just laughed.
"What the hell do you care? Just turn around for a second!"
"Uh… hello? Don't you see that?" Ana asked, pointing at a gross and slippery toilet, that wasn't far away from them. "Geez."
"What's your problem?" Charlie questioned with a cheeky grin on his face, as he turned around to face her.
"You're disgusting, man." Ana stated, pushing him as far away from her as she could, making him chuckle.
"He's so uncomfortable in this heat." Claire complained, while sitting in the car and changing Aaron's diapers.
"I told you to use cloth diapers." Jack reminded her, sticking his head through a window.
"Yeah, well, my doctor said these were fine." The blonde insisted stubbornly and pushed his head back out of the car. He stood up and just then the man approached him.
"Don't see too many travelers around here." He drawled in a husky voice "Where y'all headed?"
"San Diego." Kate answered him briefly.
"California?"
"Yeah."
"Sure didn't take the fastest road."
"Oh, no." she laughed "We absolutely had to see the desert. Didn't we, Jack?"
"Absolutely." He confirmed, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. Just then Ana and Charlie came over.
"There ain't nothin' to see in the desert." The man told them and Jack frowned.
"You heard that, mate?" Charlie teased, standing next to him.
"How far are we from I-88?" Jack asked, ignoring him and taking out a map from a car.
"You're at least five or six hours."
"Why couldn't we have gone through Santa Fe?" Ana asked, not expecting any answer, but expecting a glare from Kate. She didn't bother to return it, though.
"This is the only southbound road going to I-88. From there..." The man said and pointed at the map "…you can take the 40 to California, but it's a long, old drive."
"Lovely." Charlie commented and was ignored once again.
"That doesn't bother me a bit. I like to drive at night." Jack announced, smiling.
"Good for you, sir…Everything's fine. Oil's okay."
"Great. So what do I owe you?"
"Uh, $46 even."
"Okay. Keep the change."
"Thanks, sir."
"Oh hey, Jack, here!" Sawyer called, approaching them and taking out a wallet out of the back pocket of his jeans "Let me take care of that."
Jack raised his eyebrows at this. He knew very well, why the Southerner was acting this way. The answer was simple and began with 'a' and ended with … 'a'. That's right. Ana.
"I can still afford the gas, Sawyer. Thanks a lot."
"That's not what I meant." The blonde man snapped back at him with a stern glare.
"Yeah, right…"
"Vincent!" Ana yelled suddenly and they all turned to see the Labrador running away from the car. Claire stood next to the opened door with Aaron in her arms.
"Sorry." She apologized quietly.
"Vincent, come back here!" Ana shouted and took off after him towards the house.
She ran through the door and stopped. She was in a shop.
"Vincent! Come on here, boy!"
She slowly started walking, between counters.
"Come on, boy!"
Suddenly she heard some sounds of crushing from a small room on her left.
"Is anyone there?"
Nobody replied her. After a few seconds there was a barking
"Vincent!"
Ana waited just a short while, before entering the room.
It was a terrible mess in there. Ana took a look around it, frowning. Her eyes found a table in front of her. A lot of weird things were on it. She half-opened the fastening on a black bag. Vincent was standing on his hind legs with his forefeet rested on a window-sill, still barking.
Ana shook her head and came over to him.
"Vincent, what are you doin'?" she growled, grabbing his leash and quickly turning around.
"Can I help you, miss?"
Ana jumped up a little at the guy's sudden appearance.
"Oh, I'm sorry…" she gasped out "It's just… my dog." She tried to explain and he was keep staring at her, like some freaking predator. "He just… he got out…He won't stay put." She finished, smiling a little to calm down.
"Ana, we're leaving!" she heard Jack calling out for her.
"Yeah, come on, boy, let's go." She mumbled and quickly left the room, feeling his eyes on herself. She made her way to the car and looked over her shoulder. That guy scared the shit out of her.
"You all right?" Sawyer asked her, as soon as he noticed her weird behavior. She turned to look at him and she was so shaken, that for one, great second she forgot, that something has ever happened between them. She was ready to smile at him and-- The brutal reality quickly woke her up from her daze.
"Yeah, don't bother…" She murmured bitterly and pushed past him. Sawyer was still for a few seconds and let out a heavy breath and joined the others in the car.
When Jack was about to start the engine, the filthy man appeared once again, making Ana grimace.
"Yeah?" Jack asked, opening the window, that the guy stood next to.
"You know, uh… it's not on the map, but if you..." he started slowly, as if fighting with himself, whether to tell them that or not "…take a left at the dirt road, couple miles from here..." he continued, pointing at the map in Jack's hands.
"Uh-huh…"
"…it'll lead you through the hills. Probably save you a couple of hours."
"I guess we can't miss it." Jack said with a smile.
"Uh, there's an old fence right in front." The man added.
"Well, thank you."
"Old fence, dirt road, two miles."
"Yeah, I got it. Thank you very much."
They guy nodded abruptly. Ana narrowed her eyes at him, but nobody else seemed to be bothered by his weird behavior. Jack began to close the window and the man smiled.
"You have a safe trip."
A/N: Let me know if anybody's interested.
