A/N: I only own Quin. Okay, this is AU. Besides everybody else on the island that we know of, there is also a girl about 14 who is legally insane. They don't know this. I also would like to note that I am not trying to be hurtful or prejudice against those with metal illnesses.

"No! I'm not going," Said Kate with a small grin. She crossed her arms and looked off to the side, holding her chin up like a little kid that didn't want to eat his vegetables. Jack got down on his knees and clenched his hands together looking up at her.

"PLEASE!?!?" he begged.

"No."

"PUH-LEASE!?!?!?!?"

She put her arms down in defeat, "oh, alright, fine. Now, why do you want us to go this way?" she asked, pointing in the direction that Jack had originally wanted to go.

"I think that there might be more of the crash down that way." He said, starting to walk that way.

"Okay. Why do you think that?" she followed him through the trees.

"I don't know, just a feeling I guess."

"So, we're risking our lives for a feeling you have?"

"Yep. That's about right."

Kate rolled her eyes and continued to follow him through the thick forest plant life when a girl ran right out in front of them.

When she almost ran into them she screamed.

"SHHH!!" Jack said, after he got over the shock of almost being run into.

She pointed in the direction she came from and was practically in hysterics, "There... there... there was this.... thing. It was following me! It was just, this horrible thing. It's still coming!"

"Shh..." Kate was trying to comfort her while Jack looked around for the creature.

"I can't find it," Jack said.

Kate looked up at him. "Jack, maybe we should go."

"Yeah, okay." He turned towards the girl, "are you part of the original crash out on the beach?"

"Ummm... yeah. I don't socialize much. That's probably why you don't recognize me."

"What are you doing out here?!?

The girl looked up at him like she was suddenly terrified, "Don't get mad. I didn't mean it I swear. Stop looking at me like that! I was just walking and I got lost. I promise. Don't be mad," she shook her head slightly saying the last bit.

Kate looked at Jack questioning the girl's sudden mood change. Jack looked back just as confused. "I'm not mad. Just, be careful, Okay?"

"Yeah, alright," she said in a bitter tone.

"Hey, what's your name, anyway?" Kate asked.

"Oh, it's Quin."

"Quin," Jack restated, "that's a nice name."

"Yeah, I guess. I think it's stupid. But, hey, it's not like I could choose."

Kate looked at her cautiously; "I hope you don't mind me asking, but, where are your parents? Or, whoever you were on the plane with?"

"Oh, no I don't mind. I was on the plane alone. I was just visiting Australia. I live in The U.S. That's where my mom and brothers are."

"Oh, okay. That's got to be rough. Being, here with your family having no idea where you are."

Quin looked at her, "Yeah, well, it's the same thing for everyone else on this stupid island, isn't it?"

They got to the opening through the trees that lead to the beach. Quin walked off into the opposite direction as Jack and Kate, who just followed her with their eyes, stunned by her mood swings and very strange personality.

Kate turned toward Jack, "PMS," she said, shrugging. Then she went to se what Claire was up to, leaving Jack standing there looking very confused.

A/N: Okay, I know how much the story sucked, and I'm sorry it's so short, but I will try to improve as the story progresses. Thank you for reading. Please give me your thoughts.
