Ok so here's the next chapter hope you enjoy it and as always please review.

Chapter 3: Not Alone

I sat alone in the sand it had been a few hours since the crash and it was now dark but I couldn't sleep I was just too damn worried about my parents. I may have been 19 years old and capable of looking after myself but I wasn't ready to loose them so early in my life. Maybe Ana was right maybe they were still alive, I could hope anyway. Everybody else had begun to settle down expecting rescue any minute now. I wasn't so sure Cindy had told me earlier we had been thousands of miles off course when the plane crashed so anybody looking for us would have no idea where to look. Just at that moment Ana came and sat next to me.

"How you holding up?" She asked me.

"I'm Fine." I replied.

"I was wondering if you would help Goodwin and me build a signal fire so someone will see it and rescue us." She told me.

"Sure thing it's not like I got anything else to do." I replied.

So Ana and I walked down the beach to find Goodwin piling a bunch of logs in a pile.

"Hey Goodwin, I got another pair of hands." Ana called towards him.

He looked up at the two of us and smiled.

"Glad to hear it I could use the help." Goodwin called back.

So Ana Goodwin and I carried on building the signal fire until we heard some sort of struggle going on at the edge of the jungle. I quickly got up and ran along side Goodwin and Ana until we reached where the struggle was coming from. I stopped and stared shocked for right in front of me was Mr Eko with a rock in his hand covered in blood with two dead men beside. They had obviously had their heads bashed in with the rock by Eko. Ana walked up to him and tried to get a response from him but he just stayed quiet dropped the rock and walked off. Goodwin walked up to the two bodies and began to examine them ad after a couple of minutes figure out these people were not on the plane due to the worn clothes they wore. So Goodwin and I quickly buried the bodies while Ana went to find Eko.

The next morning I found myself waking up after only catching a couple hours sleep with the sun glaring in my eyes it took me a while to figure out where I was and remember the previous day and a sad feeling suddenly swept over me as I was again reminded of my parents. I decide to get up and walk the beach for a bit and see if the signal fire worked and discovered a small group of people talking which I recognised to be Ana, Goodwin, Libby and some other man a hadn't met before but recognised from the plane.

"What's going on?" I asked as I walked over.

"Nathan here says three men have gone missing." Ana answered.

"What? How?" I replied.

"We don't know they just disappeared." Goodwin responded.

"We reckon those strange people who tried to abduct Eko did it." Ana stated.

"What you think there are more of them?" I asked.

"There must be how else can you explain it." Ana replied.

"Well we've got to try and find them." I said to the group.

"Where do you suggest we start?" Nathan asked.

"I don't know but we can't sit around hear and do nothing. We have to get off this beach how these people obviously know we are here." I replied.

"No." Cindy replied. "The pilot was trying to land the plane in Fiji we were 5,000 miles off course anybody who's trying to rescue us won't know where to look. We have to stay here with the signal fire."

Eventually we all agreed to stay on the beach but I didn't feel right about it what if those mysterious people struck again and also why was Goodwin so relaxed about the situation but then again what about that Nathan guy he was just as relaxed as Goodwin. There was something odd going on and I was going to find out what.
