Down The Rabbit Hole

A Lost Fan Fiction Story

Authors Note: I hope you all are enjoying my story so far, I own nothing about the Television show Lost, I'm just writing for fun, like always!

Chapter 2:

I looked around to get my bearings, but all that surrounded us were trees, and sand. It looked like we were in a jungle, but according to my rescuer most every one else landed on a beach. I had a bout a million questions, but then realized I needed to get out of my own mind, because I heard my name being called.

"Alice?" I shook my head, and looked over at the man who pulled me from the hole; Sawyer.

"Yea?" He was now sitting next to me, leaning against a palm tree.

"I said Are you alright?" I smirked thinking about how silly that question sounded. I was just in a plane crash, and pulled out of a sandy hole in the ground with a broken leg. I tried to hide the chuckle coming out of my lips.

"Am I ok?" I looked over at Hurley who was sitting across from us. He didn't look to shocked, as if bad things happened around him all the time. "You should ask Hurley that question." I nodded in his direction, still talking to Sawyer. He looked over at him as well, and saw his facial expression didn't look scared or shocked, but a bit like he knew something we did not. He was also quite a distance from us, and that made me more nervous than anything. Sawyer and I both looked curiously at our curious new friend.

"Do you mind tellin' us why you're all the way over there, and you look like you know something we don't." Hurley slowly looked up as Sawyer asked him. He looked sadly at both of us.

"It's my fault" He just said simply, and leaving even more questions.

"What's your fault Hurley?" I asked a little more caring than Sawyer.

"Everything" He sighed "The crash... everyone's injuries..." we still looked at him as if he were crazy. "I'm cursed!" Sawyer started to chuckle immediately, but I just bit my lip to keep myself from smiling and hurting his feelings.

"What makes you think you're cursed? I asked not taking my eyes off of him.

He figured we wouldn't believe him, because no one else had, but he saw something in my eyes that was different, something that made him feel comfortable.

"You wont believe me, no one else did" He kept his gaze at me, both us us forgetting about Sawyer at the moment.

"I wont judge you in any negative way, if that is what you are thinking" I smiled to let him know I was genuine. I saw him take a deep breath.

"Because I won the lottery" I was not expecting that, usually that made people happier. I couldn't imagine why he thought that was what cursed him. I was about to ask him about it, but this is where Sawyer made himself known again.

"You won the lottery?" Hurley nodded. "How is that a curse?" He chuckled. "Seems like you have good luck on your side, not bad." Hurley just shook his head with a fearful expression on his face.

"Naw man, trust me it's a curse. Since I won all that money I've lost so much , and this is only proof that it's going to keep getting worse!" He looked scared and defeated, and I felt bad, I wanted to comfort him, and say something to make him feel better.

I smiled his way, because I couldn't get up and give him a comforting hug. I didn't really know what to say. It looked like it was getting dark, so we decided to stay where we were were until morning so we could head to the beach in the day light. Sawyer reached into the pack he brought with him and brought out a bottle of water, and handed it to both Hurley, and myself, before taking a drink himself. I had lost my sweater in the plane crash somehow, and felt the chill night air hit my skin, and it sent a shiver through my body. Sawyer moved closer to me, leaning against the tree.

"Come on princess, I'll keep ya warm." He put his arm around me, and nodded for me to lay my head against his shoulder. I looked at him a bit unsure. "I'm comfier than that tree, and warmer too!" He smirked, and I fought back a smile at his words.

"Sawyer..." He was trying really hard to flirt with me, and I could see that, and he was also a nice guy, who rescued me from that hole. He had that knight and shinning armor vibe and I was a sucker for that stuff, but I was unsure, because I didn't know how to trust... not any more.

"Come on Alice I don't bite...hard" He chuckled. "Unless you're into that sort of thing!" I blushed, so he was that sort of guy; using charm through innuendos. I just glared at him, shaking my head. He patted his shoulder, and pulled me closer into him. I felt the warmth radiate through him. I decided to give into it and laid my head against his chest, hearing his heart beat rapidly, through his toned chest. I felt another shiver go through my body, but this time it was not from the cold.

Meanwhile Hurley pretended to be a sleep, as he rested his head against a palm tree. He sighed, and stared at Sawyer and myself. How much more bad luck would he have to endure because of those lottery numbers? He groaned letting his eyes fall on my body, he suddenly felt more relaxed and at ease, soon drifting off to sleep as well. As he drifted off to a deep slumber, he whispered out something un expected...

"Alice..." a smile spread across Hurley's lips as he slept.

I felt bright warm light shine down on my face, and a blinked my eyes slowly open, and came face to face with Sawyer, who was staring down at me with a grin on his face. I quickly sat up, remembering where I was.

"Woh.. easy there princess" I looked down at my ankle, and sighed. "Were going to get you to that doctor today if its the last thing I do." He thought the doctor; Jack Shepard was an egotistical ass, but how could he say no to helping? True, there were more victims from the crash far worse off than I was ,but he seemed to be the only one taking charge of everyone.

"It's probably just broken, not life or death. I'm sure I'll be fine" I smiled at him hoping it would calm all of our minds.

"Well, I'm glad to see you're optimistic, but we're getting you to the beach." He nodded in Hurley's direction. "Come on Mongo help me get her back" Hurley rolled his eyes at Sawyer's nickname for him, but ignored it any way, making his way to the other side of me. I draped an arm around both of the guys and they walked me carefully back to the beach.

As we approached the edge of the Jungle, I started to see water, but I also heard cries, and loud noises of despair. I sighed, So this is what happened to everyone else. My heart felt a rush of sadness seeing all the panic and worry scattered along the beach. I could certainly see the doctor would choose to help these people over me. I didn't blame him as Sawyer did.

"Oh my goodness!" I whispered, almost crying at the sight I saw. I thought I saw blood and a few dead bodies in the mix. "You didn't tell me it was this bad" I looked from both Sawyer and Hurley, neither of them said a word. I felt a sharp pain go through my leg, spreading through out my body. "AHHH!" I nearly doubled over in pain.

"What happened?" Hurley tried to set me down as he asked concerned he had done something to me while helping me to the beach. Sawyer had a worried expression to his features, but he tried to stay manly and strong, helping me ease into the sand.

"Stay with her, I'm going to find Jack!" Sawyer raced off.

Hurley sat down next to me, and I closed my eyes to hide the pain, and tried to focus on something else.

"What can I do for you?" I reached out for his hand and held onto it, which must have surprised him.

"Tell me something, anything... to distract from the pain." I groaned, fighting back tears, from the massive pain shooting through my body.

"Like what?" He wanted to help, but he was really at a loss for how to act or what to do.

"Tell me about you" I whispered, looking at him with hopeful eyes.

"I'm not very interesting, you wouldn't want to know me" He bruited, but knew he was hiding something. He appeared to be more guarded than I was, and I was intrigued. I forced a smile.

"How can someone who says they won the lottery be un interesting, some one who thinks they are cursed..." I squeezed his hand. "Can you tell me why?" I saw his eyes get big, and he shook his head.

"No... you'll get hurt... if I tell you... you could die" I gasped, letting go of his hand. I instantly saw the sadness spread across his face, he really believed this. I looked up seeing Sawyer coming up through the sand with another man I assumed was the doctor.

"Alice, I brought him" I smiled. Sawyer raced up next to me.

"Hi Alice, I'm Jack, do you mind telling me what happened?" I nodded and proceeded to tell him everything from waking up in the hole, to my sudden rush of spreading pain.

"What is wrong with me Jack" I sighed. "It's not just a broken ankle is it?" I felt like I already knew the answer.

Jack looked me over, and slightly pulled my pant leg up, and un wrapped the bandage Sawyer wrapped around my leg last night.

"Alice I'm afraid you're right, it is more than just a broken ankle." I looked at him in the eyes. "You're bleeding internally, you need surgery!"
