Centric: Corey and Claire
"Stupid, stupid, stupid!" Donny yelled kicking a tree. He knew he had completely overreacted back there and he also knew the consequences. He had been wandering around the jungle for a while now.
'I should probably be heading back now.' he thought when he heard crying above him. He looked up to see a little kid up in the tree he had kicked. The kid was still strapped to the plane seat.
"Hey! What's your name?" he called up to the kid.
"Ch...Christopher." the boy answered in a shaky voice. Donny realized that Christopher was soaking wet from the rain.
"Ok, Christopher, just hold on tight, I'll be right up!" Chris nodded. Donny grabbed the bottom branch and started hauling himself up. It took only a few minutes to get up to the frightened boy.
"Ok. Are you alright?" he asked. Chris nodded. "Ok, let's get you out of here." He unstrapped the boy and held on tight to him as he carefully climbed down the tree.
When they got to the bottom Donny checked the kid over. "Come on let's get to the beach." Donny took Chris by the hand and led him through the junlge. Right before they got to the beach, Donny let go of Chris's hand and started walking ahead. When they got through the trees a few people started staring. Donny's face automatically hardened.

"Hey, Brad? Didn't you say you have two kids?" Corey asked him.
"Yeah, why?"
"Is that one of them?" Corey pointed to the trees. Brad and Claire turned around and Brad took off running. He grabbed his son in a hug.
"Chris! Where have you been, I was worried about you!" he said.
"I'm sorry, Dad." Chris said hugging him back.
"You're welcome." Donny muttered.
"Oh, yeah, thanks." Brad said leading Chris away.
"So did you threaten the kid?" Donny turned around.
"What are you talking about?" he asked.
"Well, I don't know a single kid who would willingly follow you." Ethan said.
"Well, that explains it. You don't KNOW anything."
"I know that you're all talk. You're probably not even a doctor. You're just saying that so people will respect you. Which they don't. I bet..." Whatever Ethan was about to say was lost when Donny punched him in the face. Everyone gathered around to watch them fight. A few people tried to step in, but gave up quickly.
"HEY!" Jack yelled. Ethan and Donny scontinued to fight and Sayid and Darren grabbed them. They glared at eachother.
"Ok. We found the tranciever, but it doesn't work. Can anybody help?"
"I believe I can." An Arab man said stepping forward.
"Yeah, so we're going to trust this guy?" A blonde southern guy asked.
"Yes." Samina said simply. A few people turned to look at her and the group that came from the cockpit. The first thing everyone noticed was unconcious girl that Adrian was carrying.
Jack handed the transeiver to Sayid and took Leah to the covered area where Jordan was. Donny followed shooting a look at Ethan.

"Hey, Darren, right?" Darren looked at the pretty blonde sitting near him. He smiled.
"Yeah, that's right."
"Didn't you say you were a surfer?" Shannon asked him looking down the beach.
Darren grinned. "Yeah, why?"
"Well, there's a surfboard over in those trees." Darren followed her hand and found himself staring at his prized possesion. He turned back to her and grinned. She smiled back.
---
"Hey, we're going into the jungle to try the transeiver, wanna come?" Darren turned around holding his surfboard to see that Corey had been the one to speak. Sayid was standing next to her.
"Sure." A little ways away they heard Boone and Shannon yelling at eachother. Shannon came stomping up to them.
"I'm coming with you." Shannon said.
"No, you're not, Shan." Boone said.
"Yes, I am." She growled at him. "Are you going?" she asked Charlie who had just walked up.
"Yeah, are you?"
"Yes." she said.
"Then I am definately going." Charlie said smiling. Corey groaned and rolled her eyes.
"We're going too!" Samina shouted running up with Jessie behind her.
"You're are too young." Sayid said.
"If your going to let Shannon come, you should let them." Boone said coming to their defence. Jessie smiled at him.
"Fine, anyone can come. Now let's go." Sayid said turning away. Shannon crossed her arms and walked forward after him. Charlie and Darren walked after them. Corey started to follow then scowled and let Jessie, Boone, and Samina go in front, Jessie and Boone standing a little closer than normal. They all trooped into the jungle.

"Why do we have to go shopping with you again?" Corey grumbled to her mother as they drove to the store.
"Because if you don't, your sister might run away again." her mother answered.
"I was just going to a party!" Claire shouted.
"So that's why you had two suitcases." Corey grumbled.
"You're not helping!" Claire shouted glaring into the rear view mirror. Corey stuck her tongue out at her sister.
"Claire, don't yell at your sister." Carol scolded.
"Shut up! I hate you!" Claire shouted. Corey groaned. Not this again. This was really starting to get old.
"You know what? I really hate you both! I wish both of you were dead!" Claire screeched. Corey looked up shocked. This was something new. But when she looked up, he only thing she could see was the truck flying out of nowhere. She didn't even have time to scream before it hit. The impact sent her flying into the drivers seat and she immediately blacked out.
---
"So you decided to tag along, huh?" Corey said as Sawyer stalked past her.
"I'm a complex guy sweetheart."
"What did you just call me?" she asked grabbing his arm.
"Sweetheart. You got a problem witht that Blondie?" Corey balled her fists and glared at him.
"Hey, what's going on?" Charlie asked. He and Samina had stopped, letting the others go on ahead.
"It's none of your business!" Corey shouted and stomped after Jessie and Boone. Charlie stared at her.
"Sorry, Charlie." Samina said and went after the others.
"What was that about?" Jessie asked. Samina shrugged.
"Who knows? The southern guy was probably being a jerk like always." she answered. Boone nodded.
"That guy gets on my nerves." he muttered.
"I don't blame you." Jessie mumbled and Sam nodded.
--
"When are we going to get there?" Shannon whined.
"We still have a while to go." Sayid answered.
"Where exactly are we going?" Darren asked as he helped Shannon over a fallen tree.
Sayid looked up. Everyone followed his gaze and looked up. And up. And up. And up.
"Oh, bolluks." Charlie muttered.
"It's not that bad." Corey shot at him.

Claire sat next to her sister, wondering if she'd ever wake up. It had been over a month now. Her father had come a week ago, but had already left. Thank goodness.
Claire wondered what Corey would have thought of her father. She probably would have punched him by the end. The one thing she could say about her father was that she was grateful to him for paying the bills, even though Corey wasn't his daughter. She felt a tear roll down her cheek.
"Corey, please wake up." she whispered. Corey lay there silently.
"I'm sorry Miss Littleton, but visiting hours are over." the nurse told her going to check Corey's vitals. Claire nodded.
"I'll be back tomorrow." she whispered.
She had gotten to the end of the hallway when she heard a high-pitched scream. Claire ran to Corey's room as fast as she could.
Corey was sitting up screaming while the doctors tried to hold her down.
she flailed around trying to get loose, screaming something like "their lying, their all lying!" Claire ran over and grabbed her sisters arm.
"Corey! It's okay, their not going to hurt you!" Claire yelled. This seemed to register in Corey's brain and she calmed down.
"C...Clai...Claire?" she rasped. Claire nodded and hugged her sister tightly.

"So who do you think they belong to?" Meghan asked. Adrian, Hurley, Cassandra, and her had been talking about the handcuffs that Michael had found in the jungle.
"Probably that southern guy." Adrian answered.
"Really? Because he went on that hike! What if he's a murderer or something? He could kill everyone on the hike! Should we go catch up with them and tell them?" Cassandra asked worried.
"No, dude, it's probably that doctor guy." Hurley told them.
"Who, Jack?" Meghan asked.
"No, the other one. The mean one."
"Donald." Adrian said nodding. "Yeah. He could definately be it. He's mean enough. And that whole doctor speech sounded like a load of BS to me."
"What should we do about it?" Cassandra asked.
"Well...we could interigate him? You know, like in the movies?" Hurley suggested. Meghan laughed.
"We're plane crash survivors, not detectives!" Hurley blushed.
"It was just a suggestion."
"We could look for clues." Adrian said jokingly. Cassandra brightened.
"Yeah, we could!" she exclaimed before taking off towards the "hospital".
"I was just joking!" Adrian yelled after her.
"I guess we should go help her." Meghan said. "Come on, Hurley!" Hurley and Meghan walked after Cassandra. Adrian shook his head and went to find Kate.

"Do you know what it is yet?" Katherine asked sitting next to Claire. Brad was sitting on Claire's with a sleeping Chris in his lap, and Natalie was watching Alice and Owen playing in the sand near them.
"No. But I have a feeling it's a boy." Claire said smiling and rubbing her bloated stomach.
"How can you have a feeling about that?" Brad asked.
"It happens. I had the same feeling with Alice." Katherine said gazing fondly at her daughter.
"How did you do it?" Claire asked her. Katherine turned around confused.
"Do what?"
"Raise her by yourself."
"It wasn't easy. Is something wrong?" she asked, seeing the discomfort on Brad's face."
"Oh, well, this isn't a really good topic for me." he said quickly. Katherine gave him a strange look, but nodded and turned back to Claire.
"What are you going to name him?" she asked.
"Oh, well, I don't know." Claire admitted. "I was actaullay going to LA to give him up."
Brad and Katherine looked at her surprised.
"Really? But you seem so...connected with the baby." Katherine told her.
"Well, the father left me a few months ago. I don't think I could raise him by myself." Claire said. The three survivors looked out at the ocean thinking of their own seperate pasts. Natalie, Owen, and Alice looked up.
"What's going on?" Owen asked quietly. Alice shrugged.
"Their just being grownups." Natalie said. Owen frowned.
"I'm never gonna be a gwownup!" he declared.
"Me neither!" Alice agreed. Natalie just laughed.
"Why not?"
"'Cause Daddy's a grownup and he's acting wierd! Does your Daddy act weird Natty?" Owen asked. Natalie smiled sadly.
"Y...yeah, he does." she said looking sadly at the tent where Jack and Donald were working.

Corey sat outside her sisters apartment waiting for her. When she finally came out she was laughing with her new boyfriend, Thomas.
"Hey, Corey, Thomas was just leaving! Come in!" Claire said. Thomas nodded.
"Yeah, I have to go or a job interview." Thomas said smiling.
'Lie' Corey automatically thought. Ever since the crash, she'd seemed have this strange talent of being able to tell when people are lying. And Thomas was definately lying.
'I wonder where he's actually going?' Corey thought.
Claire waited until Thomas was out of sight, then opened the door for Corey to come in.
"So, how are things going with Thomas?" Corey asked.
"Great! Never better!" Claire said happily.
'Lie.'
"We're really happy!"
'Lie'
"Nothing could make this day get better!"
'Lie.'
"Ok, Claire, what's really going on/" Corey asked. Claire stared at her, then sighed.
"I...I'm pregnant." Claire told her.
'True.'
Corey gasped. "You've got to be kidding me!" she shouted. Claire nodded.
"I found out about a week ago."
"And you didn't tell me?" Corey shouted.
"Well, I knew you'd react this way." Claire told her.
Corey started pacing. "How...How...How could this happen?" she shouted. Claire nodded again and Corey saw tears come to her eyes. She stopped pacing, and gave her sister a hug.
"It's ok, Claire. It's okay. I'll always be here for you."

After a while the goup of hikers reached a cliff.
"Now what do we do?" Jessie asked.
"We climb, Pixie Dust." Sawyer said starting up the cliff. One by one everyone went after him. Finally everyone was at the top except for Jessie, Samina, and Corey.
Jessie grabbed onto Boone's hand and hauled herself up. A minute later Samina got to the top too. Just when she grabbed Sayid's hand her foot slipped. She got over the top, but a small rock broke loose and hit Corey's hand. She let go surprised and started to slide down the cliffside.
Ok, bit of a cliffie at the end there! I actually didn't mean for it to be, the chapter was supposed to be longer. But I decided I just needed to post something.
And--should the next chapter be Brad or Adrian?
Also, I have a poll on my profile about Widmore Acadamy that I need. Thanks!
By the way, I'm proabably going to have more on the relationships than most OC stories have. I can't help it! I'm a romantic at heart! :D lol! Next chapter will be *crosses fingers* soon. I hope. I'll try!! Don't throw bananas at me like that! XD
