Alternative Ending.

"Are you ok?" he asked and she nodded as he got up, about to offer her a hand when they both looked up as they heard the sound of an object coming down the small shoot that they had only fallen through a few minutes ago. She screamed louder than she had ever screamed when she came face to face with a mangled body, blood creating a pool around the corpse and her. Ian stood in shock as he lowered his body to the ground, taking a closer look at the disembowelled corpse.

"It's Carter." He informed her as she tried to squirm away from Carter's body.

"I don't give a shit, get it away from me!!" she shrieked and he obliged, pulling her up and away from the man's body.

"What about Nick?" Ian subconsciously asked himself. "We have to get nick and the others before leaving this island." He spoke more to her this time.

"They're probably off this island already!!" she cried and he knew that was a possibility.

"IAN! SARAH!" a man yelled and they both looked up to see Nick's usually chirpy face looking down on them.

"Where's Rolland, Peter, the rest?" Ian called up, feeling his hand being taken by Sarah as he watched the expression on the young man's face change.

"Rolland and one of the others went to the find the control tower, said they'd get help, the other's, they didn't make it." Nick informed them and Ian sighed in disbelief.

"Ajay?" He dared to question.

"Dead." Nick felt tears sting his eyes.

Ian was about to speak when the glare of a light shone down on them, followed by the distinct sound of a chopper. Both Sarah and Ian sighed with relief as they began to climb up the small crevice. Sarah could have cried with relief as her hand grasped Nick's and he pulled her half the way up.

Sarah lifted herself up onto the steady ground, and whilst assisted by nick, she began to help Ian up.

"Come on baby." She willed as he finally reached up and his hand touched hers.

When he was also standing on steady ground, he held her body against his tightly, vowing to never let her go again.

"COME ON!!" the pilot shouted to them, as Ian and Sarah finally broke apart.

"I'm so glad you're ok!" Sarah breathed to Ian as they ran the short distance to the aircraft.

Nick went up first and threw down a rope, which Sarah grabbed hold of and began to climb, shortly followed by Ian.

"GO!" Ian ordered the pilot before slumping lazily against the seat, his head pressed against the cool metal panel behind him and his eyes were closed. As the chopper took off, Sarah sighed and moved closer to Ian, allowing his arm to drape around her shoulders and he allowed her to lay her head on his shoulder, having had enough, she closed her eyes and exhaled deeply as she sank into Ian's warmth.

Nick who sat attentively on the opposite seat, looked out of the window at the deathly destruction that had taken place below them, but because it was dark, he couldn't see much anyway so he leaned back into his seat.

"I'm sorry bout Ajay, Rolland." He spoke softly to the older man who was seated one man away from him.

"Not as sorry as I am." Rolland muttered.

THE END.
