This is my first attempt at a Lost fan fiction so I'm hoping I can write it in a way that's not too confusing. Flashbacks will be in italics, on island action will be normal and real world which include characters who we know to be taken off the island in this season will be in bold. Hope I haven't put you off already :eek:

This story is set after the rescue although may or may not fit in with the rescue we see in this season as well, I don't know how that goes yet and this story is already an idea in my head.

It's going to contain lots of the original characters mainly Sawyer, Claire and Locke so please don't be put off by the introduction of new characters. It will also feature some real world scenes with Jack and Kate.

I don't own lost or any of the lost characters, as I'm sure you all know but I guess you have to put it anyway.

I haven't really used this place before so I don't know if there's many people around reading but if you do please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Thanks

The sun beat down sending blue light shimmering across the deck of the large yacht drifting though the waters of the pacific, reflections dancing in the stillness. Unusually the air was still, not even a light breeze provided relief from the baking heat of the sun. She had never seen the water so calm, so still.

Laughter pushed its way through the unforgiving heat causing Kaia to look up from her small comfortable spot in the shade. At the other end of the deck her brother Oliver and his best friend Jay were laughing with two tall, tanned, dark haired and equally dark eyed woman. Stunningly beautiful girls they had picked up somewhere around Thailand, with the promise of an all expenses paid trip full of tropical islands, palm tree's and an adventure to paradise.

Their beauty made Kaia feel a sense of inadequacy, and a pang of jealousy knotted her stomach as she watched Jay flirting with the girl who had introduced herself as Mali. Part of her had hoped that a three month adventure sailing around the wonderful pacific islands would have been enough to make Jay see her as something more than just Oliver's little sister but less than three weeks in to it and he'd already shattered that illusion. She knew now that even though she'd reached her mid twenty's in his eyes she'd forever be the cute little blond girl.

Always the charmer Oliver appeared to have the other woman engrossed in a story of his escapades. The fact that the girl spoke much English and his Thai left a lot to be desired didn't appear to be hindering him at all. Kaia rolled her eye's, stretching she picked up the tall stemmed glass that sat by her side and took a sip of the cool golden liquid.

"Hey, you see that?" Sawyer shouted across the beach to Locke who was trailing just a little way behind him along the waterfront. The mist that has obscured the horizon the day before had vanished leaving behind clear sky and calm water.

The golden sand stretched out before them but this morning it was littered with debris, broken specks of something tangled in seaweed and spat out unwanted by the sea. Its appearance made even stranger by the fact that the island hadn't seen even so much of a hint of a storm in weeks. It wasn't often the water choose to give up its treasures without a fight.

"Look's like we found ourselves some firewood" Sawyer commented, kicking at some broken planks with his foot. Locke ignored him as he bent down to examine the items closer.

"Hasn't been in the water long," he picked up one of the pieces turning it over in his hand "hardly any sign of rot." Moving one of the other pieces he revealed something hiding underneath. He picked up the very small string bikini bottom and threw it to Sawyer with the smallest hint of amusement.

"Your size I believe"

Locke's eyes were already scanning the shore line analysing the continued path of debris. His gaze caught sight of a dress, a dress which appeared to be draped over a lifeless figure. So still and unmoving instantly he found himself sprinting down the beach towards it. What was this Island up too now, and why had it claimed another victim?
