Characters: Claire, Charlie, Jack. Mentions of Kate, John, Sun, and Jin.

Claire wasn't sure what to make of her dreams. Every night she would dream of Charlie, but each dream kept on getting scarier and scarier. Claire didn't talk about it, though. They'd just think she's going into denial or something. Claire kept on seeing Charlie around from time to time. Occasionally he would smile and wouldn't frighten Claire, but other times, she had to close her eyes and put her face in her hands. She didn't know why this was happening. Why was Charlie scaring Claire? Why does he want her to "save the baby?" Was Aaron in real danger? Claire just didn't know what to do.

Claire took a deep breathe and snuggled in for the night. She new she would dream about Charlie again. At times, she was afraid to go to sleep. She closed her eyes and drifted off.

Claire was sitting in the lobby of the airport playing with Aaron on her lap. In the crowds, you could see a bald man in a wheelchair, an Asian couple, a woman in handcuffs, and a man yelling about his father's casket. Claire looked around for a moment or two before spotting Charlie. She smiled and waved him over. He looked up at her. You couldn't see his eyes because of his sunglasses and he had his guitar case on his back. He smiled and walked towards Claire.

"Hello, luv." he said sitting down next to Claire.

"Hey, Charlie."

Aaron giggled in delight. They both smiled down at him. Suddenly Aaron was gone; he was out of Claire's arms. She looked around franticly looking for her son. The crowd grew larger. But she heard a faint babies cry in the distance. Claire looked over at Charlie.

"Charlie, where's Aaron!?

He didn't speak. He took off his sunglasses and looked Claire straight in the eyes. His eyes were white, nothing else. Claire saw flashes. She heard Aaron crying in the jungle. She went running after him.. Trees, more trees. Charlie was tied to a dead tree that dripped with blood.

"Save the baby, Claire. Save the baby."

There was a dark room. Crying came from it. Darkness, then flash of light. Jack and Jin sitting in a room, tied to chairs. Man in the shadows. Aaron laid on a table, crying.

"Save the baby, Claire."

"Save the…save the baby…save…baby…save him Claire…" echoed voices.

Claire woke up sweaty again. This had become a routine for her for the past week or so. She panted for a moment till she realized it was only a dream. She ran her hand through her hair and took a deep breathe. She sat for a moment then decided that she really did need to talk to someone. She wanted to talk to one of the few people she trusted, Jack. She got up, took Aaron out of his crib, and walked out of her tent. She spotted Jack sitting by the fire throwing wood into it. Claire walked up to him and sat down. He smiled at her; she smiled back.

"Can I talk to you for a minute, Jack?" she asked.

"Sure, Claire, what is it?"

She exhaled before speaking.

"You know I've been having nightmares lately, right?"

Jack nodded.

"Well, in my dreams, Charlie keeps telling me that I have to 'save the baby.' And he's always really…bloody and scary. Then I have these strange flashes of the jungle or a dark room or Charlie tied to a tree…I just don't understand it any more."

Jack nodded slightly before speaking.

"Is that all you dream about?"

"Yeah," she started. "And…sometimes I see Charlie and camp."

Jack's eyes widened and froze for a moment.

"You see Charlie around camp?"

"Yes, at first he just smiled at me and ran away, but then…he kept on telling me to 'save the baby' and he was a bloody mess. It really started to scare me."

Claire put her chin in her hands and stared at the fire. Jack just looked at Claire for a minute then at the fire.

"Maybe you're just not letting go of him. I remember when Charlie had told you to 'save the baby,' but Aaron was okay. Maybe you…"

"I'm not going crazy if that's what you're implying." She said cutting Jack off. "These aren't just memories or anything. Charlie is trying to tell me something."

"What's he trying to tell you?"

"…That the baby is in danger. But…I just don't know what to do."

Jack paused for a moment.

"Maybe you could keep a dream journal. Write down what you dream, and then we can try to see if we can make sense of it all."

Claire nodded. It actually was a pretty good idea. So Claire went back to her tent and grabbed one of her extra journals. She wrote down what she had just dreamt.

-At the airport with Aaron

-Saw John, Jack, Sun, Jin, and Kate.

-Charlie walked up

-Aaron vanished

-Saw flashes of jungle, dark room, bloody tree (? crying

-"save the baby"

Claire closed the journal and cradled Aaron. He playfully tugged at her wavy locks. She sighed before walking back outside and towards Charlie's spot.

Okay. I know none of these are long chapters, sorry. I honestly don't know where I'm going with this story. Give me some time, I'll get ideas!!

PS-sorry if it takes me a long time to update.
