Mulder and John carried the pilot outside of the cave and laid him down on the grass. Dana cleaned up the cut and bandaged it with the small first aid box we found in the plane.

What happened Monica? Why were you in the cave? Mulder asked me as we sat around the fire. I was now changed into normal clothes, shorts and a T-shirt.

I was sitting here and I heard my name being whispered coming from the cave, I changed into my swim wear and went in. There were drawings on the walls, when I was looking at them he just grabbed me, I dropped my gun and he held a knife against my neck, so I didn't move. Then you guys came.

Did he say anything to you? Dana asked.

He said that the island wanted us, wanted me, he said some stuff about the island needing power, I'm not sure what it all meant. I was so confused at what he had said to me.

Well we can't exactly ask him now. Mulder stated, trying to lighten the mood, it didn't work.

Mulder, what's the legend on the island, I heard it was cursed. How did it get cursed. What happened? I asked, it had been bugging me.

Years and years ago, no one is sure exactly how long ago this was, this island was once home to many people, decent people. But every place has its nut cases, there was a cult who believed in the devil, evil, the end of the world and all that bad stuff. They would do whatever it took to convert people, they would kidnap people and torture them until they were converted. Rumours say that evil souls took over the body, like intruders, the original occupant would still be in there watching, but never having any control over what the body did. Anyway, once the cult had enough followers they went out every every town, every village, to every home, they converted everyone they could, sacrificed the ones they couldn't and even kept some of them for slaves. Once you became a follower they wood burn a mark into you, no one knows what exactly it is, some say a scorpion, others say a spider. No one knows. I've heard that the cult is still living on this island. That anyone who has ever come here has never been seen again.

Well that's comforting. John commented.

I'm not even finished yet.

Oh great.

There goal was said to be that they were to take over the world, its said that they are looking for a certain person, a certain soul, they need. As a kind of queen or evil. No one knows how they find the soul, just that they will one day. And only one other soul will be able to stop this queen of evil and turn her back to normal and in ding so save the world.

Well after that bit of information, that would have been useful before we came here, I say we do whatever we can to get the hell out of here. John suggested.

I thought you didn't believe in curses. Mulder asked him with a sly smile on his face.

I don't, I just know that I don't like it here and I want to get back home.

We don't have anyway of getting back until a rescue comes. Dana reminded him.

Great, well I say we need a few rules, to make sure nothing happens to us, after all there are criminals on the island. John suggested.

That's a good idea. I agreed with John.

Okay, no one ever goes anywhere by themselves, always have guns on you, what else? John suggested and asked.

I don't think there's much else we can do. Dana said.

Unfortunately I agreed with her. There wasn't much else we could do. After what the pilot said to me, my nightmares, my vision and now learning about the legend, I wasn't feeling very safe.

I need to go for a walk. I said as I stood up.

Wait Monica, I'll come with you, no one on their own remember.

John and I started walking in no particular direction. We walked close together. Not touching, but enough that we bump shoulders every now and then. We stopped at a fallen tree and sat down. John slid closer and placed his arm around my shoulder, I leant my head on his shoulder. He placed a kiss at the top of my head.

What's wrong? John asked in a whisper.

I've just had a really bad feeling since we arrived here, and some strange stuff has happened.

What stuff?

I've been having nightmares since the night we crashed here, I saw something in the lake that was there one minute and gone the next, the pilot and now what Mulder said about the legend. I just want to go home.

Hey, we'll get home sooner or later, nothing is going to happen to you, and I would be suprised if you weren't having nightmares in this place.

I was about to reply when a twig snapped behind us. We both instantly rose to our feet and took out our guns. We stood, facing where the noise had come from. But then there was another snap behind us. We turned around and saw nothing there. I felt someone grab me from behind. I tried to fight them off. I saw John fall to the ground with blood coming from a cut on his head.

I struggled with my attacker as two more men came us to me. One grabbed my legs to stop me from kicking. LET ME GO! I yelled. The third man gagged me, to stop me from yelling. My hands where tied behind my back and my feet where tied together. I was lowered to the ground and looked up at the three men. The last thing I noticed before I was blindfolded was there eyes. Nothing but blackness.
