Normal POV
Eric was shaking, that dream felt so real. What if Kevin was not really dead? The thought shot into his head like a bullet. Eric sat down under a tree to think, the memories were all jumbled now they popped in and out, and some he was not sure if they had actually happened. He remembered struggling with Kevin his rough hands around his neck, Eric rubbed his neck it was still bruised, that definitely happened. He remembered picking up a rock and killing Kevin with it.
"That did happen didn't it? Eric was starting to feel unsure, he remembered being covered in blood, but was it Kevin's or…? "What if Kevin didn't die? No, no he had to of…right? It had to of, yes Kevin is dead if not he would have come after me when I buried Abby. Oh god Abby how could I have let that happen? Ahhh!" Eric hit himself in the head trying to get the thoughts out, he could not think about these things any longer, he needed a distraction. Getting up, Eric walked along the beach he stared into the woods; still fighting the doubts in his mind that Kevin was actually dead.

Daley's Video Diary
"This isn't how things are supposed to happen! I hate this island so much! I just want to go home. Everything has gone wrong since day one, every time something decent happens it just goes wrong later. It all just seems like a dream…I wish it were a dream. Abby's really gone, the others are still missing, there hasn't been any sign of rescue, and now Eric is…well I don't really know what's wrong with him, something weird is going on, I know he feels horrible about what happened, but it just seems like there is something else, something he isn't telling us. I don't know if I even care, he deserves to feel bad, after what he did. Maybe I'll try talking to him, no one really has since he told us what happened…maybe he just needs a friend right now."

Eric was walking along the beach when Daley walked up to him; he turned and walked the other way.
"Eric, wait!" She ran up to him and grabbed his shoulder; he turned around but was looking down. "Eric you need to know this whole thing…i-it was just a stupid accident…I know you feel bad about it, but you can't go on acting like this."
Eric's eyes shot up, it was the first time since he got back that he looked someone in the eye. Daley took a small step back she had not really stopped to look at him since that first day. He looked so sad, tired, scared, and worn down, she did not want to look at him. "It w-wasn't an accident." Eric's voice was hoarse but firm enough to alarm Daley; she had not heard Eric speak to anyone since he explained what had happened to Abby, except for the dream he had.
"What are you trying to say?! That you purposely…." Daley could not finish the sentence, tears started to form in her already red eyes.
Eric's eyes immediately shot down to the ground. He shook his head and walked away, he wanted out of there so bad, but was too scared to go back out on his own. The best way to get away from everyone at the moment was to lug more water. What Eric hated had now become his escape, something steady that he did not need to think about. He went to the fire pit quickly and grabbed the empty water jugs. He slowly walked to the well and started the steady motion of pouring, walking, pouring, walking, pouring, and so on. He continued lugging for a long time with his mind completely distracted by the redundant work, until he started hearing things in the woods.
Standing up from the well Eric started walking back to the fire pit when he stopped. He thought he heard something behind him, he turned around but there was nothing there that he could see. He stood completely still and waited, he heard something else in the woods, all the memories of his first encounter with Kevin came back all at once. Eric wanted to run but found that his legs would not move. He dropped the water jugs on the ground and frantically looked around. His breathing became more and more rapid; he was right about Kevin he had to be. Kevin was back and was going to finish what he had started days before; this was it he was going to get his revenge on Eric. Again Eric tried running but still could not, maybe he wanted it to come he did deserve it really Eric was not sure of anything at this point. He heard another noise from the woods, his breathing got worse, his head went light and all he could remember was darkness setting in.

Everyone at camp was doing different things; they were all still trying to keep busy. Daley had been crying a lot, Lex was trying to comfort her, Taylor moped, Melissa braided rope, Jackson collected fire wood, and Nathan gathered food. They all eventually met back at the fire pit to eat.
Melissa looked around, "Where's Eric?"
Daley was staring at the ground, "Who cares?"
"Daley, Eric has been really bad off lately I know we're all upset about what happened but he's hurting, he at least needs to eat something." Melissa almost whispered this, she almost felt bad wanting to help Eric.
Taylor looked around, "The water jugs are gone he might be at the well."
"I've been here for a while though, I think he would have come back by now." Nathan had a worried look in his eyes.
Jackson got up from the fire pit, "I'll go check and see if he's there." Melissa offered to go too, so they both went off to see if they could find Eric. This seemed to becoming a trend with them, but they both just hoped the same thing, this time they would be able to find him.
