This is a kind of alternative story to Missy original Missy fic, to all that have read it. If you haven't then don't worry.

But for all of you that have...I really wanted to use my Missy character in an alt-alt story....showing what would have happened if she had never got split with Sawyers group at the beginning of season 5 and what would have happened if she'd have stayed at Dharma for three years instead. Would she still have met Richard?

This story is very much inspired by young Ben Linus meeting Richard in the jungle for the first time.

A lot of it will be ripped from the Ben Linus/Richard story....but it is fiction so bear with it....

Anyway, let me know what you think.


Missy gasped as Sawyer held the ring out towards her.

Her heart pounded furiously in her chest.

"Well say somethin'" said Sawyer, gazing into Missy's eyes.

Missy stuttered. "I-Its beautiful...." she mumbled staring down at the ring. "Juliette's a lucky woman."

Sawyer smiled. "I wanted you to be the firs' one to know..." he said getting to his feet and heading for the door.

"I'm plannin' on askin' her next week....after all the new recruits arrive.....perhaps down at the docks...whaddya' think?" he rambled, glancing at Missy over his shoulder.

"I'm sure she'll love it," Missy managed to mutter as she waved Sawyer off at the door.

"Laters Honey-Pie," said Sawyer giving her a quick wave before trudging off over the lawns, back to his and Juliette's home.

Missy closed the door and let out a sob.

Her heart was breaking.

It had been three years.

Three years since she had arrived at DHARMA, and three years since Sawyer and Juliette had become a couple.

They had fallen for each other pretty early on.

But though Missy had never told him, or anyone else, she loved him.

So, so much.

She had always kept that smallest of hopes that perhaps someday he would feel the same way......but now she realised that that was impossible.

He didn't love her back.

He never would.

Missy leaned back against the door, tears pouring down her cheeks.

She wrapped her arms tightly around herself and began to sob heartily.

She hated it here at DHARMA and now things had got even worse.

How would she be able to manage seeing Sawyer propose to Juliette. That tiny diamond ring always being a reminder of what Missy was missing in her life.

Without even thinking, Missy hurled open the door and ran out into the cool evening air.


She didn't know where she was going.

All she wanted to do was run.

Run away from that place.

And all of the memories.

Missy ran into the tree-line, hurtling past trees and bushes.

Her face and arms getting scratched as she ran through the undergrowth, tears still streaming down her cheeks.

Her chest heaved with sadness and she flew through the jungle and her sobs rang out into the night air.

Suddenly Missy stopped abruptly as she reached the huge sonic fence that stretched out across the wide plane before her.

Without really thinking she ran to the panel that jutted out from one of the pylons.

She didn't even know where she would go......or what she would do.

Perhaps she could stay with Rose and Bernard, who rumours suggested were living at the beach. Though she had no idea where.

Quickly punching in the code, she heard the pylons shut down and the fence disable itself.

Hurriedly Missy ran through and into the surrounding jungle.

She knew that coming this far out was breaking the truce, but she didn't care anymore.

Her heart was broken and fleeing was the only thing she wanted to do right now.

She doubted anyone would even notice if she was gone.

Sobbing she came to a halt in the middle of a small clearing.

The light was dim and Missy stood there hand clutched to her chest, which heaved with heavy sobs.

Suddenly the sound of whispers surrounded her.

Missy gulped back tears and gazed around, turning quickly on the spot.

She trembled slightly as the whispers got louder and louder.

This was a mistake.

She should never have come out this far.

Something was wrong.....
