Okay, here's the next chapter. It's another Yoon centric. Enjoy!
A splash of water and the mug filled up, the liquid turning brown. She picked it up, bringing the mug to her lips, letting the scalding hot coffee burn her.
She deserved this.
The Island was her life, her homeland, and she was giving people she shouldn't talk to information, information they shouldn't know.
She sat down and looked through the file she had been given.
Objective: Kill Camilla Alpert.
She knew Cam had secrets, that Cam knew things, but no one knew the extent. She was a private person, and the extent of her knowledge was dangerous. But the fact that she had to be killed because of it...
Izzie sighed and downed the rest of her coffee; it was just the way she liked it.
Bitter.
--
Shannon looked down at the hole in the ground, where her brother was lying. She was aware of everyone around her, looking at her or the hole, but she didn't look at any of them.
She just stared at the hole, wondering how this happened.
'Shannon?' Jack asked hesitantly. 'do you want to say something?'
'no,' she said softly.
There was a pause as everyone waited for someone to speak.
'okay, so- ow! Fuck.'
Aryel had stood up, almost fallen over because of her broken leg, and leaned on Roxy for support. Roxy stood up and held her friend up.
'okay, so,' Aryel began again. 'I'm not sure if you all remember, but I used to be a legit bitch.'
'used to?' Maya muttered.
'anyway,' Aryel shot her a look. 'so Locke, Roxy, Boone and I, we all started hunting. At this time I was still a legit bitch. And Boone and I, we argued most of the time, and said we hated each other, but in reality, we actually became friends, in our weird kind of way. He broke through my legit bitchiness. He was a good person. If not good, than a great one. Now, I'm not sure if any of you remember, but on the day of the crash, my good friend here, Roxy, was drowning. No one noticed her in the water, no one but Boone. And Boone saved her life. So I didn't know Boone as well as some people must have, but, uh... he saved my friends life. He saved several lives after the crash. Probably before as well. His courage will be remembered. And if not by you, than by me. Boone Carlyle was a good person. And he will be missed.'
There was silence and Aryel sat down again with Roxy.
'It was my fault.'
Everyone turned to see Locke walk over.
'We found a plane, a Beechcraft, in the jungle,' Locke continued.
'oh, so now we're telling the truth?' Roxy snapped irritably.
'It was lodged in the canopy and I would have gone up, but I – my leg was hurt so he – there was a radio inside and he thought he could – look, his weight must have made the plane shift and it fell -and –it happened because he was trying to help us. He was a hero.'
Roxy stood up and angrily walked over to him, punching him.
'we all knew that before you killed him you son of a bitch!' she shrieked. She punched him again.
Aryel jumped up, but suddenly stopped, leaning on Charlie for support. 'somebody pull her off, damn it!' she exclaimed.
Charlie gently sat her down and rushed over to Roxy, pulling her back.
'come on, it's over, Roxy!' he exclaimed.
'I swear to God, Charlie, if you don't let me go-'
'Rosanna! It's over!' Aryel exclaimed. She turned to Hurley. 'help me out here.'
She stood up and using Hurley as a support, hobbled over to Roxy.
Aryel wrapped her arms around Roxy. 'it's over, okay? It's over.'
Roxy hugged Aryel back and glared at Locke.
'c'mon,' Aryel muttered, gesturing for Roxy to walk with her. Charlie put his arm around Aryel, helping her walk. Hurley walked on the other side of Roxy.

A young, twelve year old Yoon sat by her mother's bed. She held her hand, consoling her softly in Korean.
'promise me, Yoon-Cha,' her mother, Eun-Hee, said in their native language. 'promise me that you will continue the legacy. Promise me that you will finish the work.'
'I promise,' Yoon nodded. 'what am I supposed to do?'
'when I'm gone, Chin will take you to Seoul, and will train you in secret while you get adopted by a nice South Korean family. After a certain number of years, most likely when you come of age, you will tell your new family you want to travel, and Chin, plus a group of other people around your age that he has trained, will travel to another country, maybe America, maybe England, maybe Australia, and you will become a sleeper cell. You will bring them down.'
'of course, Mother,' Yoon said.
Her mother coughed and then turned to her. 'and Yoon-Cha...'
'yes?'
'if you shall see your father....kill him.'
--
'I. Am. Fine.'
'yeah, you see, honey, I don't believe that for one second,' Laura said.
'You need rest, Claire,' Yoon said. 'In a hospital they would have you sleep. The nurses would take your baby. Or so the rest of them told me when I gave birth.'
'you're not helping,' Jason snapped. 'seriously Claire-'
'What if he needs something, okay?' she interrupted.
'you'll be there for him – after you sleep,' Laura said.
'no.'
'Claire, no one is going to take this baby away from you. No one,' Yoon said.
'You don't know that, okay. You can't say that.'
Jason sighed. 'Claire, I-'
'he promises nothing will happen, and has he ever broken a promise?' Laura interrupted, slightly irritated.
'I won't let anything happen,' Jason promised.
Claire sighed and passed him her baby.
'Just be really careful, okay? Make sure-'
'Claire,' Jason said patiently. 'remember who you're talking to.'
'right,' she smiled weakly. She kissed her baby's forehead and walked to her tent.
'what was that about?' Laura asked.
Jason didn't reply, just looked down at his nephew and sighed.
--
'so where'd you disappear to?' Aryel asked.
'hmm?' Roxy muttered, preoccupied.
'okay, seriously. What's up with you lately? First you disappear when Boone and I were dying, then you yell at Locke, and then you punch Locke. What is going on?'
'I disappeared to find...something.'
'something?' Aryel raised an eyebrow.
'okay, someone,' she corrected herself. 'I was trying to find...Them. the Others.'
'Roxy, sweetie,' Aryel faked a smile. 'sometimes your judgement is severely impaired. This is one of those times!'
'I found them,' Roxy said calmly.
'what?' Aryel asked in shock.
'I found them. Told them you and Boone were injured and they said that if you were meant to die then, they couldn't help you.'
'and they let-'
'that's not the huge part. The one who told me this...she's my mother.'
There was a beat of silence.
'come again?' Aryel asked.
'Rina Morel, the woman I've been trying to find for years, she is on this Island. Her name is really Katarina Morel, and she goes by Kat now.'
'you found your mother?' Aryel asked.
'yeah,' she smiled.
'your mother is an Other?'
'yeah. So is my sister.'
'you have a sister?'
Roxy nodded. 'it's Josie.'
'that traitor?' Aryel raised an eyebrow.
'yeah.'
--
'Charlie?' Yoon asked curiously, looking at Charlie, who was holding Claire's baby, trying to get him to stop crying. 'what are you doing?'
'well, you see, Laura and Jason went off to go find you, because Turnip Head needs a blanket, and you're the only person with blankets small enough, on account of you have a baby too.'
'oh, do I really?' she said sarcastically. She walked closer to him, and held her daughter in only one arm, looking at Claire's baby and touching his skin with her other hand. 'I think he's too cold.'
'hence the reason they're getting a blanket,' Charlie nodded.
Yoon smiled and looked across the beach, to where Jason and Laura were walking, looking for her.
'JASON!' she yelled. He turned and looked at her. 'INFIRMARY!'
'THANK YOU!' he yelled back.
A few minutes later, Jason and Laura walked back. Jason took the baby from Charlie and wrapped the blanket around him. The baby stopped crying.
'how are you so good at this?' Laura asked Jason.
'I just am,' he muttered.
--
Eight years later, Yoon walked down the streets of Sydney, Australia. She looked around her and smiled. Chin had transferred her here, and not the rest of the cell. The rest of the cell was undergoing training, training that she had already done. So it would be a full six months before she was joined by her team.
A man, a man on a phone, accidently walked into her.
'oh, excuse me,' the man said. He took a look at Yoon and stopped talking on his phone. 'I'm going call you back, okay?'
Without waiting for an answer, the man closed his phone.
'I'm sorry, Miss,' he smiled at her. 'I wasn't watching where I was going.'
'it's okay,' Yoon said.
He smiled. 'what's your name?'
'Yoon-Cha,' she said. 'and you?'
'Ryan,' he smiled. 'where are you from? China? Japan?'
'Korea,' she said. 'and you are American, yes?'
'I am,' he said. 'umm, I usually don't do this, but would you like to go out with me sometime?'
Yoon, despite herself, found herself nodding. 'I would.'
'well, what's your number?'
She gave her number and the two of them said their goodbyes, coming to the conclusion that Ryan would call her.
Yoon smiled as she continued walking.
Her phone went off.
'yeboseyo?' she said. There was a long pause. 'hello?' she tried in English this time.
'I was just checking to make sure you didn't give me a bogus number,' she heard Ryan say. 'I thought you did at first, but-'
'I always answer first in Korean, just so you know,' Yoon interrupted.
'right then. Want to go out tonight?'
Yoon smiled.
--
'oi, Warrior Princess!' Yoon snapped, snatching the burning passport photo out of Kate's hands.
'that's Laura's nickname, Chinese Whispers,' Kate said calmly, taking the photo back.
'whoever,' Yoon snapped. 'you're trying to get my spot, aren't you?'
'I'm sorry?'
'don't play that card on me! Michael told me you want my spot on the raft.'
'I was just asking some questions. He must have misunderstood me,' Kate said.
'look, I know why you want off this rock. You want to run as soon as we're rescued.'
'I don-'
'Kate, I'm like you. So is Sammy. And as much as I hate him, we will both do whatever it takes to keep our spots on that raft. Get Jin's spot, don't count on it though, or maybe even Luka's. Although he wants to get off this rock more than most of us. Get one of theirs. I don't care. All I know is that you won't get mine.'
Yoon started walking off.
'hey Yoon,' Kate said. 'I want your spot, I'll get your spot.'
Yoon turned and looked her straight in the eye.
'don't count on it, Austen.'
--
'Help! Help!' Walt ran into the caves.
'What's the matter?' Maya asked.
'It's my dad. His stomach is really bad,' Walt said.
'okay, well – JACK!' she yelled.
'don't yell in the caves, Maya,' Oz said. 'could cause another collapse.'
He looked above Maya, where some of the cave roof crumbled. He reached over and pulled her away from it.
'exhibit A,' he said as it fell on the ground.
'whatever,' Maya said impatiently. 'Michael, he's sick. We need Jack.'
'you go, I'll get Jack,' Oz said.
Maya and Walt ran off.
--
Shannon was folding some clothes that she had washed the day before. She was doing it to keep her mind off Boone's death.
It wasn't working.
Not only did everything she picked up have some sort of memory with it, some of it was his stuff.
Eventually, tears fell down her cheeks and she started sobbing.
But she continued to fold, her tears making the dry clothes wet again.
She felt someone sit next to her and the person gently took the latest t-shirt out of her hands.
'would...' the person said hesitantly. 'would you like...to talk about it?'
Shannon stopped for a few moments, realizing she had never heard that voice before.
She turned her head to see Michelle sitting there, and her eyes widened in shock.
And she shook her head, letting the tears fall.
Michelle simply wrapped her arms around Shannon and let her cry.
--
Jack was examining Michael.
'What'd you eat today? How much water have you had?' Jack asked.
'Uh, fruit, fish,' Michael said. '2 or 3 bottles.'
'Where are you getting that water from?' Jack asked.
'You know, the caves, like everybody else,' Michael said.
'Alright, listen, Michael, just take it easy, okay? You stay in the shade and try not to move too much, okay?'
'No. We have to launch that raft tomorrow. We have to.'
'I know you do. I know.'
--
Sammy sat down next to Yoon.
'hi, how are you, what did you do?' he asked.
'I'm sorry?' she asked.
'what did you do to Michael?' Sammy said.
'funny, I was going to ask you the same question,' she said coldly.
'what did you do, traitor?'
'what did you do, murderer?' she snapped back. 'okay, seriously, I think it was Kate.'
'what? Why?'
'she was after my spot. She was Hell bent on getting it to. She wants off this rock as much as we do.'
Sammy nodded in thought and Yoon smiled inwardly. She didn't think that. She was positive it was Sammy.
--
Yoon smiled, her hand entwined with Ryan's as they walked down the street.
She knew that technically this was fraternizing with the enemy, that it was wrong, but she loved Ryan.
'so Yoon,' Ryan said. 'I was thinking...'
'yes?' she asked.
'well, we've been dating for two years and I've been thinking about how I really feel about you,' he began.
Yoon smiled at him, encouraging him to say whatever it was he wanted to. If he broke up with her now, then she needn't kill him.
'and I know that I love you,' he continued. 'and-' he knelt on the ground, taking her hand. '-Yoon-Cha Paik, will you marry me?' he asked, taking out a diamond ring.
'yes,' Yoon said, before she could help herself. 'yes!' she exclaimed.
She didn't care. They could tell her not to marry him, they could tell her to kill him, but she wouldn't kill him, she would marry him.
For she truly loved him.
--
'what did you do?' Yoon stood in front of Kate.
'I'm sorry?' Kate asked.
'you poisoned Michael.'
'did I really?' Kate challenged.
'Hell, I knew you wanted that spot, I just didn't know how badly.'
'how do I know it wasn't you?'
'you don't.'
--
'hey,' Claire said to Max. 'where's Michelle? Usually she's with you.'
Max smiled and nodded to where Michelle was holding Shannon.
'is she talking again?' Claire smiled.
'she actually has been talking a bit. Started about two weeks ago. She only talks a few words a day, if I'm lucky, but she's smiling and laughing again.'
'that's good,' Claire said. 'I'm glad.'
'yeah. So am I.'
--
'so, we can't kill him, too much rebellion would happen,' Hayden said.
'not to mention he's my mother's best friend. Might put an even bigger strain on my relationship with her,' Josie said.
The two of them were lying on their backs on the floor of Hayden's house, tossing ideas about.
'we could put him in a coma?' Hayden suggested.
'and how would we do that?'
'point taken.'
'we could...' Josie rolled over on her stomach and looked at Hayden seriously. 'we could release the prisoners.'
Hayden sat up quickly and turned her head to Josie.
'you are brilliant, Josie,' Hayden smiled widely.
'I know, right?' Josie said in a mocking voice.
--
'it's in the water,' Petro said. 'it's something in the water.'
'but it's not that simple,' Maya said.
'what do you mean?' Oz asked.
'yes, we figured out why he's sick, he was poisoned. Which what does that imply?'
'uhh...'
'that there's a poisoner.'
--
'"Monster Eats the Pilot"?' Aryel laughed. 'wow, wonder where that one came from.'
'oi, don't knock it,' Charlie said. 'it's actually a good song.'
'I'm sure it is, but keep your head still,' Roxy said. She was cutting his hair. Or at least trying to, but he kept moving. Claire with her baby, Jason and Laura were also sitting there.
'So, what's the first thing you're going to do when we get rescued?' Charlie asked them.
'sue Oceanic,' Aryel said.
'hold a memorial,' Laura said.
'I'll probably find something to protest about,' Roxy shrugged.
'I don't know,' Claire said.
'what about you?' Charlie asked Jason.
Jason was staring into space, at nothing, not paying attention and not answering.
'Mate?' Charlie said. 'you okay?'
Aryel waved her hand in front of his face and then hit him when he didn't respond.
He looked around at them all. 'huh? What?'
'what's the first thing you're doing when we get rescued?' Laura asked him, looking slightly concerned about him.
'uhh...I don't know,' he said softly.
They all looked at him in concern.
Claire looked at him pityingly and stood up.
'come on,' she said. 'let's take a walk.'
He stood up and, holding her baby in one arm, Claire linked her other arm with his as they walked off.
'what's up with him?' Charlie asked. He looked straight at Laura when he asked that.
'good question,' Roxy said. She too was looking at Laura.
'that it is,' Aryel said. And again, she looked at Laura.
'what?' Laura snapped. 'I don't know. He's been like this lately. I got no idea.'
--
'I thought it would be easier, you know?' Jason muttered. 'it's been seven years.'
'yeah, but you loved her, Jason,' Claire said consolingly. 'you loved them all. You can't get over it in seven years.'
'well, how long will it take? Because I hate feeling like this.'
'what, torn apart? Heartbroken? Angry?' Claire was just fishing for random emotions, thinking he was reacting this way not because of what this day and the next meant to Jason, but because he was feeling something entirely different, guilt maybe, because of a new person.
'I'm angry. Because I love her.'
Claire just hugged him, wondering if he meant Ava still, or Laura.
--
Sammy walked up to Jack.
'How's Michael?' he asked.
'He's going to be fine,' Jack smiled.
'that's good. Listen, I think Kate poisoned Michael.'
--
Kate walked up to Petro.
'how is he?' she looked over at Michael.
'he's okay now,' Petro said.
'that's good. Listen, I think Yoon poisoned Michael.'
--
Yoon walked up to Jason and Claire.
'Jason?' she said. He turned to her and raised an eyebrow. 'I heard that Michael's okay?' she left it as a question.
'for now,' Jason said.
'that's good. Listen, I think Sammy poisoned Michael.'
--
Jack looked at Sammy.
'what? Why would you think that?' he asked.
--
Kate opened her mouth, answering Petro's question.
'because I know her.'
--
Yoon continued her explanation to Jason.
'and I know just what he would do to get off here.'
--
Jack, Petro and Jason listened as Sammy, Kate and Yoon spoke to them each respectively.
--
'because Kate,' Sammy said.
--
'because Yoon,' Kate said.
--
'because Sammy,' Yoon said.
--
'is a murderer,' the three finished in unison.
--
Yoon smiled, her hand entwined with Ryan's as they walked down the street.
She knew that technically this was fraternizing with the enemy, that it was wrong, but she loved Ryan.
'so Yoon,' Ryan said. 'I was thinking...'
'yes?' she asked.
'well, we've been dating for two years and I've been thinking about how I really feel about you,' he began.
Yoon smiled at him, encouraging him to say whatever it was he wanted to. If he broke up with her now, then she needn't kill him.
'and I know that I love you,' he continued. 'and-' he knelt on the ground, taking her hand. '-Yoon-Cha Paik, will you marry me?' he asked, taking out a diamond ring.
'yes,' Yoon said, before she could help herself. 'yes!' she exclaimed.
She didn't care. They could tell her not to marry him, they could tell her to kill him, but she wouldn't kill him, she would marry him.
For she truly loved him.
--
'okay,' Hayden said. 'how many prisoners do we have?'
Josie got out a pen and paper. 'okay, we got Liliana, Kallirroe and Eva in one cage. In the other cage we have Flick, Dominic, Nemo and Erica. Then on the other Island there's Emma, Zach, Jessica and Warren.'
'okay, so you wrote them all down?' Hayden asked.
'yeah,' Josie said. 'now, Erica, she's special, we better not release her.'
'same with Felicity,' Hayden agreed. Josie crossed them off.
'the ones on the other Island would be hard to get to,' Josie crossed them off. 'that leaves Liliana, Kallirroe, Eva, Nemo and Dominic.'
'Eva wouldn't go without Felicity,' Hayden said. 'and Dom wouldn't go without me,' she added.
'so that leaves Liliana, Kallirroe and Nemo...' Josie trailed off.
'should we release all three?' Hayden wondered.
'Nemo and Kallirroe have to, they were from each camp, so no matter which way they go...'
'they'll be someone who knows them,' she nodded.
'but Liliana...her wife is mourning for her at the Fuselage. It's really heartbreaking.'
'so we should release all three?'
'yeah. But not for a few days.'
--
Petro, Jason and Jack were standing together having a quick and quiet conversation.
'what do you mean?' Petro said. 'Kate said Yoon poisoned Michael.'
'don't trust her,' Jack said. 'Sammy said Kate poisoned Michael.'
'don't trust him either then,' Jason said. 'Yoon said Sammy poisoned Michael.'
'how about we don't trust any of them?' Petro said. 'apparently they are all murderers.'
Jack began saying something, but Jason pointed over to the raft, making Jack stop.
Kate was walking out of the jungle, talking to Sun, inadvertently heading for Yoon.
Yoon was sitting by the raft, talking to James, with her daughter in her arms.
Sammy was walking down the beach, talking to Sawyer, also heading there.
Jason, Jack and Petro exchanged a look.
Crap.
--
Sawyer tossed Michael a bottle of medicine.
'thought you might need that, Mikey,' Sawyer said.
'thanks, Sawyer,' Michael said. He looked at Sammy and Yoon. 'the two of you feeling guilty?'
'excuse me?' Yoon asked.
'come again?' Sammy asked.
'you two are off the raft,' Michael told them.
'what?' Yoon and Sammy asked angrily.
'you're off the raft,' Michael repeated.
'we had a deal, Dawson,' Yoon snapped.
'so did we,' Sammy said.
'Yeah, well, the deal ended the minute one of you decided to poison me,' Michael said.
'do you need someone else?' Kate asked him.
'yes, but not you. It was either one of them or you.'
The three spoke in unison, all saying the same thing.
'it was them.'
'I don't care who it was, I'm done with you all,' Michael said.
'and why the Hell are you done with us?' Sammy asked.
'You're a liar and a criminal, and I'm not letting you near my boy,' Michael said.
'oh, he's a criminal, huh?' Sawyer interrupted. 'He poisoned you because he's a criminal? Time to set this straight.'
He grabbed Kate's arm and pulled her over to Michael.
'Let go of me,' Kate said.
'No, look who the criminal is,' Sawyer said to Michael. 'Tell him,' he told Kate. She didn't say anything so Sawyer grabbed her bag and turned it upside down. He picked up a passport.
'Sawyer, please,' Kate said.
Sammy and Yoon exchanged a look and hid smirks.
'you all remember Jennifer, don't you?' Sawyer said. 'the woman who was murdered by Them?'
He passed the passport to Michael.
'Now what's Kate doing with poor Jenny's ID? Could it be she'd do just about anything to get on that raft? So she could get herself rescued, run off with a new identity before half the reporters in the world descend on this damn Island? She might even poison the captain himself,' Sawyer said.
'shut up,' Kate snapped. She saw Yoon smiling. 'and you too. Do you want them to know what you've done?'
'Yoon?' Sun asked.
'ooh, now ain't this intriguing,' Sammy said. 'Chinese Whispers is a criminal.'
'like you can talk!' Yoon exclaimed. She went to hit him, but he grabbed her fist. 'you murdered my husband!'
Several people gasped and backed away.
Yoon started twisting around, trying to get out of his grip, but he held her there, crossing her arms over so she couldn't move, her back against his chest, with him talking into her ear.
'yeah, I murdered your husband, and the rest of the scum who killed my sister,' Sammy said bitterly. 'but that's nothing compared to what you have done.'
'oh really?' she said, before she could help herself. She couldn't get into this. Not now. She had to get off the Island, before everyone knew.
'I may have murdered half a dozen people, but that's nothing like the possible hundreds you have killed while betraying your country,' he said.
Yoon looked over to her sister, who looked shocked and hurt.
Yoon sighed and made her adopted South Korean accent drop. 'I am not South Korean, therefore I haven't betrayed my country,' she said to Sammy.
'wait, what?' Laura, Sun, Michael, Jason, Jack, Charlie, in fact, most of the camp, asked in shock.
'not that it's anyone's business, but I'm a North Korean Operative,' Yoon said.
Jin said something in Korean and before Yoon could tell him nothing was wrong, Sun told him exactly what she had found out.
'my name is not Yoon-Cha Harper, nor Yoon-Cha Paik. My name is Yoon-Cha Gal, and I am a criminal.'
There was silence for a minute.
'well, at least she admitted it!' Aryel exclaimed to the rest of the camp. She whirled on Sammy. 'what about you? You're awfully quiet.'
Sammy sighed. 'I murdered the people who killed my sister. Yoon's husband happened to be one of them.'
'wait, that's why she attacked you?' Max asked.
'yeah,' Sammy said.
'okay, you deserved that.'
'damn right he did,' Yoon muttered, kicking Sammy's shin.
'and you, Kate?' Aryel asked. 'rumours back in Iowa were that you were wanted for murder.'
'you-' Jack asked.
'yeah, Katie and I grew up in the same town, I knew she wouldn't remember me, so I decided to keep this to myself until I needed something. Blackmail, you know.'
'Yes. I was on the plane with the Marshal,' Kate said. 'Yes, I was wanted and caught and being transported back. No matter what I say about what happened – about what I supposedly did – I'm going to jail. But I didn't poison you.'
'neither did I,' Yoon said. 'I'm a liar and a horrible person, but I didn't poison you.'
'neither did I,' Sammy said. 'I'm a murderer and a cheat, but I didn't poison you.'
Laura stalked forward and ripped the passport from Michael's grip. She stood in front of Kate and clenched her fist.
Jason grabbed her arm and pulled her back.
'you would've never passed as Jenny. She at least had a heart,' Laura said, her words laced in acid, before letting Jason pull her away.
Slowly, everyone left, apart from Kate, Sammy and Yoon.
Kate left, throwing them disgusted looks.
Sammy let go of Yoon.
Yoon began walking off but Sammy put a hand on her arm.
'what?' she snapped.
'just look at me,' he sighed.
She sighed too and turned around, looking him straight in the eyes.
He put a hand on each shoulder and looked straight back into her eyes.
'I am so sorry,' he whispered. 'I never meant to hurt you, I didn't even know you. But now that I do, I...I'm sorry for hurting you, for killing Ryan.'
She stared back at him, and Sammy wasn't quite sure how she was going to react.
She took a step forward, so she was now right in front of him.
She spoke in a soft voice, a voice so soft that with her real accent, it seemed quite spooky.
'When the time comes,' she said slowly. 'I will kill you – no, I will not just kill you,' she corrected herself. 'I will make you suffer. You will die in agony, knowing what you did to me. You will stare up at me, with your sad, pleading eyes, begging me to spare you. But I'll just stand there. And I'll enjoy every minute of it,' she said coldly.
She turned on her heel and walked away, leaving Sammy standing there.
Alone.
--
'yes,' Hana said. 'do it.'
Yoon stared at her in shock. 'what?'
'marry him, Yoon-Cha,' Hana said. 'it will gain you trust. People suspect the ones who don't get involved with the scum.'
'okay, thanks,' Yoon said sarcastically. 'now I'm marrying scum.'
'congratulations, Yoon,' Cho said. 'wait. Am I a bridesmaid?'
Yoon rolled her eyes. 'but of course.'
'then yes, congratulations,' she smiled, giving the girl a hug.
'your mother would be happy for you,' Chin said. 'not the outsider part, but the marriage part, definitely. Congratulations.'
'thank you,' Yoon smiled.
'yeah,' Kwan said. 'what they said.'
'heartfelt,' Yoon said sarcastically.
'you know we love you,' Kwan said, kissing her forehead.
Yoon smiled at him, Cho, Chin, Hyo Ki and Kyung, all of whom congratulated her.
And then she shot daggers at Hana.
What she would do to kill that woman...
--
Jason sat against his tent, looking at a photo. The woman in the picture had long dark hair and kind brown eyes. Her smile was so genuine, as opposed to the forced smile the boy next to her had, looking bored. He had blonde hair and blue eyes so much like his father's. Jason could tell that although the boy's smile was forced, there was a spark in his eye, a smile in his eye, from the glee he felt, touching the woman's stomach and feeling a kick from inside.
Jason turned over the picture, reading the writing on the back.
Jason –
This is the eight month mark. I know it hurts that you don't get to see me get bigger, with little Maddy, but don't worry, you'll be home soon, baby. And I'll give birth to our beautiful baby girl. I miss you – so does Jeremy. Ani ohevet otkha.
- Love, Ava
Jason smiled sadly and looked up as Laura passed.
She gave him a smile and kept walking.
Jason sighed and looked back at the photo.
--
Luka was sitting by himself, on the edge of camp. He heard a sound behind him but didn't turn.
'poison work?' Josie asked.
'yeah,' Luka muttered. 'they are against each other. Michael let Sammy and Yoon stay on the raft. I wasn't kicked off for Kate.'
'so you poison your friends and sleep with your enemies...' she mused.
'you're not my enemy, Josie,' Luka said softly.
'aww, that's sweet,' she smiled, although her words were somewhat tantalizing. 'you're still my enemy.'
'thanks,' he said sarcastically. 'appreciated.'
'when will you understand?' she asked. 'I knock you back so you don't come after me again. It's for your own good.'
'what?'
'think of it like this. You are drawn to me like a moth to a flame. I am beautiful to you, you crave me; and like fire to the moth, I am deadly to you. Anytime you need help, Luka, just come to that clearing.'
She started walking back in the jungle and suddenly, Luka jumped up.
He followed her and grabbed her arm.
'what?' she asked.
'so maybe I'm drawn into the fire, maybe I'm attracted to fire, maybe I crave the burn, but know this: I like to play with fire.'
Josie leaned up and whispered in his ear.
'Yeah? Me too.'

So I think this chapter was a favourite of mine because of the dialogue. And Luka poisoned Michael, which is surprising. But even more surprising: Josie supplied him with the poison! And who is this Ava from Jason's past? And Saint Roxy (as Sawyer calls her) has taken a level in badass! Punching Locke and screaming at him...classic. and Luka/Josie, stuff. And Aryel's eulogy...
Okay, now here's something really important:
If you want something to happen to an OC, either yours or someone else's, in a later season, tell me now! Because I am planning way in advance this time. For instance I know that _____ and _____ are alive in season six and ____ happens but that they ________. I know, annoying that I put that, but oh well. So if there is anything you really want to happen. Especially between pairings.
