Dead or Alive

Run Away

A man was running thru the jungle on an uncharted island where the crash of Oceanic Flight 815 took place. 40-55 people survived the terrible crash. They lost all hope of getting rescued. They were 1000 miles off course, no one knew they turned around in hope of getting to Fiji, and the raft was destroyed. Since the crash, terrible things had happened to the survivors (the Others, the monster, Ethan, Goodwin, Boone & Shannon's death, etc.).

The man who was running thru the jungle had brown hair, blue eyes, and was covered in dried up blood. He ran, scared of the people who might be following him. The Others. They captured him, a survivor of 815, when he was unable to run or defend himself. They took him when a person he trusted, another survivor, tied him to a tree and left him to get himself out of the ropes grip.

He didn't succeed. He was unable to grab the knife and cut himself free. After an hour of being tied to the tree, the man heard it. The whispering of the Others. The Others grabbed at the chance to question a survivor and took it. There was another man who looked similar to the first man. They to him and left the copy cat in his place to gain info and ruin the lives of the rest of the survivors.

They knocked the man out and dragged him to their camp. Their camp was an abandoned lab (probably a Dharma lab, still thinking about it.). They took him and locked him in a cell under the lab. During the time he was down there, they tortured him to get answers, but sometimes he wouldn't tell or he just didn't know. One day, a 16 year old girl came, unlocked his cage, and told him to run. He did just that.

After a day of running he thought it would be okay to call for help. "Help," he yelled," Jake, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Michel, anyone!" No one came except the Others. They whispers heard throughout the jungle. He started to run again.

The whispers stopped and all that was heard was his foot steps and Michel calling out Walt's name. The man ran toward where the voice was coming from. Then he stopped right behind the group of survivors. Some in which he never met before. "Will you shut up before they find us," said Ana-Lucia in a stern voice.

"I don't care. All I want is my son back," said Michel. "Michel calm down," said Kate," We'll find him." Then the man walked a few steps forward and accidentally snapped a branch. Everyone turned around. Everyone but Ana-Lucia, Mr. Eko, and Libby had a shocked, disbelieving look on their face.

Ana-Lucia had an angry look on her face thinking he was an Other. Mr. Eko and Libby had confused looks on their faces thinking if he was an Other why would he be banged up like that. Kate then asked," Jack, how is this possible. He should be dead." "What are you talking about? Do you know him," asked Ana-Lucia. "Yes, that's…"

A/N: I'm going to reveal the main character's identity in the next chapter. I left some clues to who he is in the story. Please review and tell me what you think. No flames please.
