A Very Special Gift

"It's a little over here."

"Where are you taking me Hurley?" Libby asked with a smile.

"Just around here…"

"We've been walking around in circles!"

"I know where I'm going…I think…" Hurley muttered.

"What's that?" Libby asked pointing through the bushes. "It looks like a light."

"That's it!" Hurley had a big smile on his chubby face. Once they got there, Libby saw what Hurley had done for her. Hurley managed to have a nice romantic evening with Libby. A blue blanket spread out on the ground, with candles around it.

"This is really nice Hurley!" Libby said.

"I thought you would like it." Hurley said shyly. Hurley walked to the other side of the blanket to show her that there was a tent with tons of Dharma food inside. Hurley tried to get in the tent but tripped over a rock. He knocked the tent over on to one of the candles. Then tent started to catch on fire, followed by the blanket.

"Oh no!" Libby cried.

"It's alright." Hurley said. Libby grabbed a bucket and filled it up with water. She began to pour it on the violent flames. When the fire was completely out, Hurley and Libby shared a laugh.

FLASH BACK

(2 Years ago)

Grace was starting to get used to living on the island. It has been a year for her, and 14 years for Alex. After many attempts of running away, the girls were beginning to loose hope.

"We can't loose hope. There has to be another way." Grace whispered to Alex as the two were chopping up logs.

"Grace, don't tell me you're planning another escape." Alex rolled her eyes. "Nothing we do works. We have tried everything.

"Not everything…" Grace replied. Alex rolled her eyes again. "I'll tell you later." Grace whispered back, noticing that Benjamin, their leader was watching them. Alex hated Ben and Ben did not particularly like Alex, Grace didn't want to get her friend in trouble.

When they did their work, the two girls headed back to their hut for the night. Grace sat on her bed and looked at Alex. Alex stared back at Grace.

"Okay…okay! I can't take it anymore just tell me!" Alex blurted out. Grace smiled. She got up and pulled a box out from under her bed. "Where did you--"

"It doesn't matter." Grace replied. "Now I don't know how to use it, but I'm hoping you do." Grace said. Alex nodded, with her eyes still in shock, staring at the gun in Grace's hand.
