Here's the next chapter. I decided to ignore what you all said about who you wanted and put it as an Ari flashback, because it explains it more. Anyway, enjoy! I don't own Lost.

Kathy was woken late at night by an ear piercing scream.

'My baby!' Rosalyn exclaimed – well actually she screamed it.

She bolted up and ran in the same direction everyone else was going. When they finally got there she saw Charlie standing in the water. With Alice in one arm and Aaron in the other.

Claire and Rosie were standing crying, while Brad was being held back by Ryan and Dan.

Amanda passed Jake to the closest person, Calypso of all people, before she walked up slowly to Charlie.

'Charlie, what are you doing?'

'I'm saving them!'

'Charlie, right now you are not saving them, just hurting them, and everyone else,'

'I need to save them!'

'From what?'

'They need to be washed of their sins,'

'Sins? They do not have sins. They are children,'

'They need to be washed of their sins!' he repeated,

'Charlie how can you of all people say they have sins? You're the drug addict!'

'And you're the murderer!'

She looked at him shocked, 'you crossed the line,' she said softly before turning away, 'Sophie! Talk sense into him!' she said. Sophie walked up and murmured things to him, until finally, he passed Aaron to her. She turned and passed him to Claire before turning back and getting Alice, and passing her to Rosie. Ryan and Dan let go of Brad. He walked up to Charlie and punched him in the face before walking away.

--

'So how are you?' Sawyer asked Amanda as she walked pass, 'murdered anyone recently?'

She turned around and slapped him.

'What the hell was that for?' he asked,

'Do not call me a murderer,' she hissed,

'Hey, what's going on here?' Charlie asked,

Whirling around Amanda punched him.

He clutched his face as he asked, 'what the hell was that for?'

'I told you in confidence that I killed someone and you just have to tell everyone! What a great friend you are!' she answered lividly before she walked away,

'You know you're pretty hot when you're angry!' Sawyer yelled after her.

'Oh, fuck off,' she called over her shoulder.

--

Arianna Davenport walked through the crowds in the busy streets of New York on her way to an apartment building. She finally got to the right address. Building 23 on 42nd street. She took a deep breathe and walked inside. Going up to the right floor she got out and walked to the right apartment.

She knocked on the door.

A minute later the door opened, 'Ari! Hey, good to see you again!' the man said,

'I came here to tell you something,' she began,

'What is it?'

'I'm pregnant,'

'You're pregnant?' he asked shocked,

'Yes. And Brad, you're the father,'

--

'Calypso, you could actually help!' Dinah exclaimed. Though the two had stopped hating each other, they still fought over everything. They were in the hatch looking through stuff and sorting.

'This is important!' Calypso stated,

'Reading magazine instead sorting stuff, important?' Adira said,

'I'm learning the basics of life,'

'Like what?' Dinah asked,

'Like it's actually good for you to kiss,'

'You got someone to try it out on?'

'Oh, yeah. Kalub,'

'Sorry, but I think Nat's already got him,' Anyssa said from the couch,

'Really?' Calypso asked, 'have they kissed?'

'No,'

'He's still fair game then,'

Suddenly loud voices were heard and a few seconds later Jack, Sayid and Locke walked in, holding two unconscious injured people between the three of them.

'What's going on?' Anyssa asked getting up,

'Who are they?' Calypso asked also getting up,

'Rousseau caught them,' Sayid said,

'We decided to bring them here, away from camp,' Locke said,

'I'm going to stitch them up, and then we'll question them,' Jack said,

'By questioning you mean torturing?' Dinah asked,

The three men exchanged glances,

'Yes,' Jack finally said,

'Can I help?' Anyssa and Dinah asked at the same time.

--

'Charlie, that was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen you do, and I've known you twenty years,' Sophie said as she tended to his wound,

'I know,' he sighed, 'I just wanted to help them,'

'You have now isolated yourself from everyone. Everyone now thinks your crazy,'

'Do you?'

'What do you think?' she smiled, 'would I be talking to you if I thought you were?'

'No. so, I've heard some rumors about you and Dan,'

'What? From who?' she said blushing,

'Overheard Jennifer telling Amber about a little kiss the two of you shared,'

'Oh well, it came from Jennifer, are you really believe gonna it?'

'I don't know,' he smirked, 'Are you really turning red?'

--

'Stacey? Are you okay?' Peter asked his cousin,

'Yeah, just a little tired,' she answered before she began to cough up blood. The people on watch, Brent, Sasha and Kit all ran forward. Sasha opened the cage.

'If any of you try to escape, we will shoot,' Kit said to the people in the cage while Sasha picked up Stacey.

'Brent, go find someone, I don't care who, get them to come here with and then you go to the Sonar fence, I will meet you there,' Sasha said before running off.

--

A few hours later Adira walked out of gun vault, blood dripping from her hands.

'Whose blood is that?' Jack asked,

'Who you think?' she replied walking over to the sink to wash her hands,

'What did you get out of them?' Sayid asked,

'Name is Henry and Jennifer Gale. Crashed balloon four months. The two married. They have daughter, died weeks ago,'

'How'd you get the information out of them?' Calypso asked,

'Don't think you want know,'

'And you believe them?' Dinah asked incredulous,

'Dinah, know me. What you think?'

Dinah smiled, 'let me have a go,'

--

'Claire do you really think this is a good idea?' Amanda asked,

'Aaron is sick and I need to find this place. It's where the medicine is,' she said passing over Aaron,

'Okay, I'll look after him. Who's going with you?'

'Kate, Kathy, Amber and Brad,' she answered as she walked away.

--

Sophie walked through the jungle on her way back from the Hatch. They were hiding something in there. It was a bit obvious. For one there were pliers sitting on the bench, covered in blood. For another they all watched her the entire time and lastly there was the faint sound of something behind the door of the gun vault.

But she didn't really give it any thought. She was trying to find someone. That someone was obviously Dan. After her conversation with Charlie she talked to Amanda again. After thinking about what they both said she had decided to stop avoiding him. Walking onto the beach she scanned around for Dan, but he wasn't there. Instead she saw Jennifer. Sophie started walking over to her. She had a bone to pick.

--

'Why has this happened so soon?' Sasha asked as they walked into the Staff,

'I honestly have no idea,' Brent answered, 'Ari! You here?'

Ari walked out with Isabel in her arms and Dragan and Chris following her, 'what's wrong?' Brenton nodded towards Stacey, 'oh my God. Come on,' she said gesturing for them to follow her. When they got in the room Sasha sat her down on the operating table. 'Here, hold her,' Ari said passing Isabel to Sasha, not noticing the look of sadness cross her face.

--

'Hey Jennifer,' Sophie faked a smile,

'Oh, hey Sophie,' she returned the smile, 'I actually needed to talk to you. About you and Dan,' she added,

'I actually needed to talk to you about that as well,' she replied, 'what gives you the right to tell people that Dan and I kissed?'

'People have a right to know that you were cheating on your boyfriend,'

'Excuse me?' Sophie asked loudly,

'Well you kissed Dan like right after Justin died so obviously you were cheating,'

'Ever thought that maybe I was a bit vulnerable at that moment?' she practically yelled, drawing attention to them,

'Sophie, you should know that if you want to cheat on someone don't hook up where anyone can see,'

Sophie slapped her before hissing, 'I was not cheating,'

Jennifer slapped her back. Sophie then punched her to which Jennifer responded by grabbing her arms, and trying to push her back. She couldn't. Sophie ended up pushing her back. The two were oblivious to the people surrounding them, telling them to stop. Jennifer tried to scratch her with her long nails. Sophie tried to slap her but at that moment Ryan and Daniel pulled the two girls apart. They both tried to get to each other so Charlie and Seth both ran up to keep the two apart. Charlie and Dan managed to pull Sophie away and down the beach. Ryan and Seth pulled Jennifer the other way. The two girls were still yelling at each other.

'Stay away from me!' Jennifer yelled,

'I've got a better idea; you stay away from my personal life!' Sophie yelled,

'Then don't let people have a reason to butt in to it!' Jennifer was then pulled into the jungle by Seth and Ryan.

'It's called a personal life for a reason!' Sophie yelled after her.

'Nothing to see here!' Sawyer yelled to the remaining people.

--

'Calm down!' Ryan said to Jennifer,

'How can I calm down? She just hit me for no reason!'

Ryan and Seth looked at each over her head. They knew there was more to the story than that.

--

'Calm down!' Charlie said to Sophie,

'I'm gonna kill her!' Sophie exclaimed,

'Again, calm down!' Daniel said it this time. She did.

'What happened?' Charlie asked,

'I just got pissed off that she's been saying stuff about me that is private,' she explained. Charlie caught on to what she was talking about and stood up.

'Now that you've calmed down I need to go talk to Amanda. Bye,' he said before walking away. The two were left in silence for a few minutes.

'I'm sorry I kissed you,' Sophie blurted out,

'What?' Dan asked,

'You should know that I'm not usually that upfront. That was a serious lapse in judgment and I know you don't feel the same way and-'

'I do feel that way,' Dan interrupted,

'I understand if you don't want to be friends anymore- wait. What?'

'I feel the same way,' he said bringing his hand up to her face,

'You do?' she asked softly,

'Absolutely,' he said before kissing her deeply.

--

Ari had been out of work for months. She loved staying at home and being with Christopher, but being out of work wasn't an option anymore. She was running out of money – and fast. At this moment she was sitting in a café, combing through a newspaper for jobs, with Chris next to her. Suddenly a shadow was cast over her and she looked up.

'Yes?' she asked the two people,

'You're Arianna Davenport, aren't you?' the woman asked,

'Yes,'

'And you're a biologist?' the man asked,

'I've done some work in fertility as well,'

'Are you by any chance looking for a job?' the woman asked,

'Definitely,'

The two people sat down. 'I am Dr. Alpert and this is Ms Kansa,' the man said,

'Your work is very amazing and we would like to offer you a job,' the woman, Ms Kansa, said,

'Where at?'

'Mittelos Bioscience,'

'Never heard of it,'

'We're a private organization situated just outside Portland,' Dr. Alpert said,

'Tell me, what do you see in this picture?' Ms Kansa asked placing a photograph in front of her,

'This is a human womb, and it looks like the woman is in her seventies,' she said studying it,

'That's the thing. She's only twenty-six,' Dr. Alpert said,

'What happened?'

'You, along with four of our top researchers, will be given the money and freedom to find out,' Ms Kansa said,

'So what do you say?' Dr. Alpert asked,

Ari looked at Chris before turning back to them and smiling, 'when can I start?'

--

'Damn, I hate Adira,' Madison muttered as she wiped blood off her face, 'why don't we just snap their necks when they come in?'

'Because we are trying to get information,' Ben muttered back,

Just then the door opened.

'Here we go again,' Madison muttered.

--

'Claire, this is ridiculous,' Kathy said,

'We should just go back,' Brad added,

'No, Aaron is sick and the medicine is somewhere around her,' Claire stated,

'Shit!'Amber tripped over. 'Hey, there's something here,' she said gesturing to where she had put her hands for support. The other four walked over and helped her move the grass and leaves off it. They all stood back and looked at it. There was a hatch door.

'Whoa,' Brad murmured before he helped Kate move the door back.

--

'What did you do?' Megan asked,

'What need to be done,' Andrew said,

'Do you know how much this could jeopardize everything we have worked for?' she asked furiously,

'They deserved to be let free,'

'It was not your call to make!' she yelled before turning to the other people standing there, 'Ira and Kit, go north. Lilly and Ursula, go west. Gabe and Allison, go east. We need them back at all costs. Tom, keep an eye on him,' she gestured to Drew, 'Riley you're with me, we're going south.'

--

'You're going to be okay,' Ari said handing Isabel to Stacey,

'Thank you,' she smiled. Suddenly the doors opened to reveal five people, four holding guns. Dragan, Ari, Brent and Sasha whipped around, taking out their guns.

'What are you doing here?' Brent asked,

'Claire's baby's sick. We need some medicine,' Kate said,

'Well, sorry you can't have it,' Brent pointed his gun at Claire, causing Brad to put his arm around her,

'Don't touch her,' he warned,

'Or what?' Ari asked walking out from behind Brent,

'Ari?' Brad asked shocked,

'You know him?' Sasha asked, gesturing to Brad with her gun,

'Yes. Chris is his son,'

'Whoa,' Amber whispered to Kathy, 'I totally did not see that one coming,'

--

'I suggest you turn around and walk away, forgetting you even saw this place,' Dragan said,

'Not without the medicine and Stacey and her baby,' Brad said,

'You know Brad, if you cared as much about her baby as you cared about your son, we might've had a chance,' Ari said turning her gun on Claire,

'Ari, calm yourself,' Sasha whispered,

'So, if we give you the medicine and Stacey and Isabel, you can go – apart from Brad,'

'What?' Claire asked, 'why not?'

'He's mine,' she smiled cruelly,

'He doesn't belong to anyone,'

This seemed to piss off Ari, 'he belongs to me!' she yelled before firing her gun. Right at Claire.

--

Ari's got an evil side. Hey, I've got this new thing. The person who created the character with the flashbacks in this chapter gets to choose the next character. But you can't go, say if it was Charlotte Lewis who had Rosalyn as the flashback character, they can't pick Megan, coz they created both characters. And actually make it someone who is a major character, if you don't know who is, check the accepted OCs page. Anyway, Golden-Black Dragon gets to choose this time.

Here's the preview:

'Is that one of those statues that Charlie had?' Claire asked,

Brad and Amber looked at each other.

--

'I swear to God, I will kill you if you try anything like that again,'

--

'Come on, hang in there!' the man said,

'I don't think I can,' the woman murmured.
