"Elyon!" Jack Yelled stumbling through the jungle

It had been two days since Elyon had gone missing and Jack still hadn't given up, he remembered waking up and seeing her place in the caves empty

"ELYON!" Jack yelled again almost on the brink of tears

"Ely!" a voice joined in it was Charlie who had also joined the search party.

"El" they both yelled together using another version of her name which she had told them she much preferred

"Elyon….." their voices echoed into the deep jungle

"Jack it's getting late……."

"NO!"

"Jack come on you haven't slept in two days!"

"I promised her Charlie!"

"I know but you're going to end up killing yourself at this rate!"

Jack ignored Charlie and kept on yelling

"Ely!"

Charlie sighed and turned back towards the caves when out of the corner of his eye he spotted something

"Jack over here" Charlie bellowed and Jack sprinted over

"What?"

"Look….." and Charlie bent down to pick something up it was a green beaded bracelet

"It can't be…….."

"Jack…..it has to be she's worn it everyday since we've been on this island"

Jack held the bracelet in his hand

"She must be near then…….."

Charlie nodded

"Well what are we waiting for let's go!"

"No! Jack in the morning"

"I promised her!"

"I know but in the morning"

And Jack had no choice but to give in and be lead back to the caves by Charlie

"I promised her…….."

The next day Jack woke early and together with Charlie, Locke and Sawyer they started their treck into the jungle

"Ely!"

"El"

"Elyon!"

"ELY!"

"EL!"

"ELYON!"

Their voices kept yelling and the echoes kept bouncing back

Deeper and deeper they trekked into the jungle until they had no choice but to take a rest. As they sat in silence daring not to say a word they all wondered about Elyon

Where was she?

Is she ok?

Who took her?

Is she ok?

I promised her…………"

Suddenly Jack stood up

"Did you hear that?"

And the other strained to listen, a very faint sound rewarded them the sound of a gentle groaning

"ELYON!"

"ELY!"

"EL!"

The chorus started up again as the group ran further into the jungle until they reached a clearing.

Just below a tall tree lay a bundle of clothes but at a second inspection it wasn't a lump of clothes it was a human.

Jack ran forward towards the tree and skidded to a halt jut in front of the body

"Ely" he whispered and gently turned her over

As he turned her over he could feel a warm liquid trickle over his hands as he looked at the body's face he could indeed see it was Elyon.

Her face was covered in blood from a deep cut across her forehead and her hair was full of mud and stuck to various other cuts across her head.

Her T-shirt was ripped across the stomach and Jack could see she was bleeding badly from there.

Her jeans were ripped and blood was coming out from the rips.

Jack looked down and he could see he was lying in a pool of blood and he turned pale

"Elyon!" he shouted and at that moment the rest of the group came into the clearing

"Oh bloody hell!" Charlie yelled turning pale at the sight of all that blood

"Is she…….?" Sawyer asked and Jack lent down to find her pulse, his fingers lay in wait and then he could feel it but barely there was a pulse

"She's alive but her pulse is weak we need to get her back now!"

The treck back through the jungle was so tense every step they took counted towards Elyon's life.

When they finally got back to the caves Jack took Elyon over to the makeshift infirmary and lay her down on the bed. Whilst outside the rest of the group stood in shock they only finally spoke when Boone came running up to them

"Hey! Hey! Did you find her?"

"…..yeah…." Charlie stuttered

"What's up?"

"She's hurt Boone……there was blood everywhere…….."

And Boone went pale

"I have to see her….."

"No she's with Jack……"

"But………"

"She's with Jack" Charlie repeated

Inside the infirmary Jack was dressing Elyon's wounds when Charlie poked his head round the corner.

"Hey" he said softly and Jack turned his head "How is she?"

"She's……….." but Jack couldn't finish his sentence

Minutes went by before Jack could speak again

"The next 48 hours are critical" he whispered

Charlie nodded and walked away

Jack spent the next day at Elyon's side cooling her fever and redressing her wounds he was so tired he soon fell asleep and was only woken by her laboured breathing

"Ely?

She was struggling to breathe now.

"Ely?"

Jack got up and found the paste Sun has made to help Shannon's asthma.

"Ely this is going to help you breath ok?"

And Jack took some of the paste and rubbed it over her she gasped as it touched her skin.

"Ely come on work with me take deep breaths in……and out……in………and out"

And after a few minutes her breathing returned to normal

"Jack?"

"Yeah I'm here….."

"Jack I'm sorry……"

"Shhh rest now" he whispered and within minutes both of them were asleep again.

The next morning Jack rose early and went to get some water on the way back to Elyon he was met by Charlie

"How is she?"

"She's ok……."

"But last night I heard…….."

"It's ok it's under control Charlie"

Charlie nodded and turned as Jack turned into the infirmary he heard Elyon stir

"Hey"

Elyon murmured

"Elyon it's me Jack"

Elyon murmured again

"You're ok I promise"

And for the next couple of hours Elyon said nothing until the sun was setting

"Jack?"

Jack whirled around

"Jack?"

"Hey!"

"Jack where am I?"

"You're back in the caves…….."

"Are they gone?"

"Who?"

"The others……."

"The other what?"

"The people on this island……"

"Ely you're delirious you don't know what you're talking about….."

"No……Ethan. He….he"

"Shhhhhhhh…….please just rest some more"

"Only for a bit…."

Jack nodded.

It was the next day when Elyon rose again

"Jack?"

"Hey you're awake"

"Yeah"

Jack moved over to her and checked her pulse

"A good strong pulse"

He checked her forehead

"No fever"

He checked the bandages

"Healing nicely"

He looked at her

"And colour in the cheeks"

Elyon smiled weakly

"Thanks"

"For what?"

"You saved me just like you said you would"

Jack smiled

"Do you feel dizzy at all?"

"No…..not really"

"Want to take a walk?"

"Ok……"
Jack helpled Elyon up and they slowly walked across the caves

"Everyones staring at me…."

"Well let them……"

"Jack……." Elyon shouted as she felt herself falling

"I'm here" he said grabbing her arm "Sit down….." and he guided her to a nearby rock

"Jack……." Hurly ran up to them

"Oh…..hey dude" he said noticing Elyon

"Hey"

"Oh…ummmm.never mind" and Hurley ran off

"Did you see the way he looked at me?"

Jack shook his head

"Don't be stupid he didn't"

"Yeah he did and so did everyone else they just think I'm this time bomb of responsibility"

"I don't"

Elyon turned and looked at Jack

"I don't" Jack repeated

And for the first time in ages Elyon smiled a true smile.
