Full Summary:
Just like Ethan, she wasn't on the Manifest. But unlike Ethan, she didn't live on the Island. She lived in the waters that surrounded the Island. And she had warned the Others many times about interfering in the lives of other people. She had warned their leader Ben and he had chosen to ignore them. What happens when she learns that Ben is the one being held in the Hatch? Will she make sure him and his people stop hurting and kidnapping innocent people? And how do the survivors react to who she really is? Are the Others afraid of her and her people and why?
Not On The Manifest:
I knew that Ethan wasn't on the plane that had crashed on the Island. But if I had come forward, they would have killed me as well. I was trying to protect them, I just didn't know that Ethan would take Claire and Charlie so early; it wasn't their plan after all. Every morning I was on the beach before anyone was awake and every night I left again. They believed me to have a shelter somewhere else, but I always came out of the water and went back in. When Hurley asked me where I was from and why I had been traveling, I lied and said that I was visiting family in the states. The truth would have been too much for him to have believed anyways. When it was learned that I had not been on the plane, and after Jack and Kate had brought Charlie back to the Caves, they came in search of me, but I had already gone back into the water.
When they came for me the next day, Sawyer got curious as he never saw me go anywhere near the water and believed me to be afraid of it. Using his water bottle, he splashed water onto me. I freaked because I did not want to change on the beach. I made a beeline for the water and everyone followed, believing that I was trying to make a run for it. I dove into the surf and headed out to sea. Once I was far enough out, I turned back. Still underwater, I could see them searching for me. I popped my head above water and looked at them. Even Charlie was looking out at me. Nobody could understand how I had managed to swim so far in so little time. I knew that they wanted an explanation so I headed back to shore. I stayed in the shallows and let them look at me. Most were speechless and only a few whistled.
I swam closer and pulled myself up onto some of the rocks. Using one of my powers, I dried myself off and walked onto shore, making sure to stay out of the tide pools. I was wary of Sawyer, who thankfully didn't have his water bottle with them. When they asked me why I had pretended to be one of them, I told them it was to protect them. When they asked if Rousseau knew about me, I told them she did not as I had never showed myself to her. I did however tell them that Others knew about me and that they were afraid of what I could do. They were immediately curious but seemed not to really understand. I was allowed to stay among them, as long as I helped in any way that I could. I only nodded before heading back out to sea. I told them that I needed to speak with my people and that I would be back the next day.
They seemed even more at odds with the fact that there were more like me and that there might be a way off the Island now that I had shown myself, but they weren't going to get ahead of themselves. Before leaving, I told them that one of my people would be with the Raft when it left. We wouldn't be there at all times, but we would be there to keep the sharks away. I left that night, but returned for many days after. They all had questions for me, but mostly Walt, he seemed the most intrigued. We had many long talks on the beach as his father worked on the Raft. He liked having someone around that was his own age to talk to. When the Raft left, he would miss our conversations.
But would they understand what was about to happen to them? And how would Walt react to seeing me again in my own city?
