She quickly looked over her shoulder once again. Saturn Smith held back her tears as she left her precious apartment. The apartment she had rented for over a month before people found out about her residence. She was leaving her house again, even leaving the country. She quickened her pace as she heard movement behind her. The street was crowded once again, and she did not like it. She couldn't stand all the noise and people, she preferred to be alone, even if no one was actually talking to her and just passing by. She walked and walked, until she finally reached the place she wanted to go to. The airport was just another 50 metres away, and she was relieved. She had walked for over 2 hours and her sweater was wet from her sweat, loose hair strands were plastered to her face and she could tell that her cheeks was red just by the looks of people around her. People looked at her with a weird expression; was she really wearing a sweater and a pair of long black jeans in this weather? Yes she was, and she did not care about the looks of people.
Let them look. She thought, it'll pass.
"That's 4.99 dollars, Miss." the young Smith snapped out of her thoughts at the sound of the strange voice, which belonged to an impatient cashier.
"Yeah, right, sorry." She threw some dollars on the counter and looked at the row behind her. There was a man with dirty blond hair and black clothes, not to mention his bright blue eyes which were fixed on Saturn. Behind him was a girl with blond hair and an arrogant look, a short skirt and a boy with ice blue eyes standing next to her. She focused her eyes back to the cashier as she heard a little cough. She felt her cheeks redden and wanted to leave when an arm held her back. The boy who was standing right behind her had held her back, a confused gaze was shot at her.
"Are you alright?" He asked with a soft and kind voice, not wanting to scare her of.
"I'm fine, thanks." She walked away, leaving the man burning with curiosity and confusion. He decided to not interfere and leave the girl alone, while paying for his drink.
Saturn waited at the gate from flight 815 to Los Angeles, sipping from her water. She wanted to save it for the plane, it was after all nearly 14 hours of flying. She checked her phone and took out her EarPods, plugging them in to listen to the soft sound of the song 'Sorrow' from Sleeping At Last. She was about to leave everything behind, and it wasn't the first time she did that. No, there had been many times that she left everything behind. She never grew to fond of a place, because sooner or later she had to leave it. Someone would find out who she was, wherever she went. There was no mistake in that. The man she had seen before, the one with the ice blue eyes and brown hair sat down beside her. He smiled at her before reaching her his hand.
"I'm Boone. Are you also going to Los Angeles?" He asked with a kind tone. She reached for his hand, shaking it.
"Yes, I am. I'm Saturn. Nice to meet you." She spoke, pausing her music and looking at the man.
"Are you here alone?" He asked a bit worried, letting his eyes gaze at his sister for a moment before returning to her. Saturn chuckled and looked at the ground.
The stranger called Boone saw the sudden change in her; she looked rather sad thinking about her parents, so it seemed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" the brown haired lad started, but he was cut of by his sister who walked towards him and shot a quick glance at Smith's appearance.
"Come on, Boone. We have to go board on our plane." He stood up and grabbed his case, while smiling at Saturn once again. She looked back at him and shot a smile, "See you on the plane." He pleaded a goodbye, but knew that he would see her again once more. In his head he made an agreement with himself that he would see that the girl wasn't alone too much on the plane, and that if he saw her, he would help if needed, if the 15-year old girl accepted it of course.
About half an hour later, Saturn was seated next to a short haired man. He smiled at her.
"Hi, I'm Jack." He introduced himself, slightly worried about the loneliness of the teenage girl. He couldn't see any parents nor family, so he assumed that the girl was alone.
"Euh, I'm Saturn. Nice to meet you." She replied, meeting his eyes. Suddenly her stomach growled and the pain in her body grew.
"Are you okay? You seem pale." Jack said, examining her face, he noticed her sunken in cheeks, pale skin and her sharp cheekbones. She was rather skinny, actually, very skinny. Unnormal skinny.
"I'm fine, thanks." She said, smiling weakly. He smiled, apologising, "I'm a Doctor, I tend to notice these things." He explained, buckling on his seatbelt. She did the same and looked at the little bottle water she had bought, while the doctor had a sandwich on his lap and a Coca Cola in his hand.
"That's a rather poor bottle of water you have there. Haven't you got any food? I mean, it's a 14 hours flight to LA." Saturn looked down and shook her head.
"I'm not very hungry." Her stomach growled again, like it was on cue, and both of them chuckled. Jack offered his sandwich but she declined the offer, even if her body screamed for food. Jack noticed that there was something off, he recognised her from somewhere, but couldn't place it.
"Where are you from?" He asked cautiously, he certainly didn't want to scare the girl of, since she seemed so vulnerable. Her eyes immediately went sad and sorrow rested on her heart.
"Belgium, and you?" Saturn intended to not let all attention going to her, but on the man too. She didn't want to give too much information, just in case.
"Los Angeles. You do speak really good English and you have a British accent for being a native Dutch speaker." He stated.
And so on went the conversation between the two strangers, till a sudden turbulence hit the plane and soon enough, all things became hell.
Hello everyone! This was the prologue of my first Lost Fanfiction. It may seem really unclear now, but it will be clear soon enough! See you in the next chapter!
