Six Months

Six months on the island. Six months of enduring no real comforts of ordinary life. Six months of waiting for rescue. Most had given up the thought. Most had turned to the idea of survival and certain death on the island. Only a few still planed for when that rescue boat would come over the horizon.

From 47 survivors it had now dwindled down to about 20 or so. With the finding of Claire's body Charlie went into a deep depression and denial. He still held on with the help and counsel of the others. Hurley soon saw his place with others, as he became Charlie's support system. Some of the others took it upon themselves to hike into the jungle to find Claire.

None came back. Rose hadn't made it to a month. She died a little after the first month. Not even her faith could keep her body from failing with lack of nutrition. There hadn't been a death since Rose and the survivors planned to keep it that way.

The others who were still alive grew fast friends ships and bonds with those they knew could help them live. Shannon and Sayid grew to like each other fast. She loved the fact that she wasn't useless in his eyes. He saw her for her self and not her beauty. And with half of the papers Sayid had taken from the French woman still not translated they had a reason to be around each other even if Boone liked it or not.

Sun and Jin still held strong with her secret under wraps. With only Michael, Kate, and Jack knowing she felt in good hands. Michael and Walt had grown closer as father and son. Being stuck together for half a year you learn a lot about the person. Locke on the other hand still had his quirky ways, but no one questioned him on it.

Then there was Jack and Kate. Everyone had seen the chemistry between them the 1st day on island. It was undeniable and soon they realized it too. They had become closer after her secret was out and safe with him. When Claire was found dead they helped console each other as well as Charlie. They tried to be secret about how they felt like they always did, but it was hard to hide the fact.

It was equally hard to not notice the jealousy of Sawyer either. Once he had seen Kate and Jack kiss for the first time it was over. Everyone could now see the animosity Sawyer had for Jack. They had seen it from the start, now it was just childlike. Although he did try his best with Kate early on it never worked out between them and that was what seemed to push him more to have her.

With most coming over to the survival side and living in the caves there were more hands to gather fruits and plant their seeds in the garden. Still some of the foods were running dry fast. There was more boar now after Locke ventured farther out into their territory, but the bananas and other seedless fruits were diminishing. Kate had mentioned this to Jack. Him, her and Sayid sat down with one of the maps. They planned out a day long hike out past what they knew now to find more food.

Kate of course volunteered, but Jack wouldn't have her go by herself. "Kate you can't go alone.' Jack insisted with his furrowed brow of his. "He's right.' Sayid voice joined. Kate looked up from the map to Sayid and Jack. "We have no idea what is out there. We have already lost so many people without finding their bodies." He began.

Jack seemed to clench up at the thought of Kate going out there and never coming back. That was what Sayid was pointing to. "No body here wants you to go out there alone." Sayid finished. "I'll go." Jack blurted. Both Kate and Sayid looked to him with surprisement on their faces. "I'll go with her." Jack repeated. "No you need to stay here in case something -" Sayid began before being cut off. "You guys will be fine without us." Jack said as he looked over to Kate who looked to him out of the corner of her eye as she looked to Sayid.

Sayid still seemed uneasy with the situation. "I'll go with you two.' He volunteered. "No Sayid you have the papers and Shannon-" Jack tried to protest. "Shannon has Boone." Sayid assured Jack seeming to not even hear him say anything about the papers. All three looked around to each other. "Are we good?' Kate asked looking back and forth between the two. All attention seemed be focused on Jack. "Yeah." Jack gave up. "Ok.' Sayid smiled in certain satisfaction. "We should leave soon because we might have to travel a while and I know we would all like to make it back here around dark." Jack explained as he directed the comment towards Kate. They all agreed as the got up and got ready.

Jack and Kate stood at the beginning of the path out of the caves. They were gathering materials for the just incase incidences. They were slightly meek towards each other. Giving each other shy looks and smiles that made them laugh to themselves. "So what are we like supposed to do without Dr. Jack and nurse Kate?" A voice came from behind the two. The both could've sworn to it being Sawyer. Instead Hurley stood behind them. Jack seemed let down for a moment that it wasn't Sawyer. "You'll be fine with Locke heading everything." Jack assured him.

Hurley looked back to Locke who sat behind him carving something with one of his many knives. "Ok. Dude he kinda creeps me out." Hurley stated. "You'll be fine." Kate smiled trying to make him feel better about it. "Plus he's the only one left that knows the surroundings." Sayid said as he came to stand next to the two. Hurley got a look of disgust on his face. "Oh man. You're all leaving." Hurley winded. "Man we're all gonna die." He sighed as he turned around and headed over to Charlie.

Kate turned back to Jack as she secured a knife to her waist. "Ready?" She asked. "Ready as I'll ever be." Jack sighed with a quaint smile. That smile sent a chill up Kate's spine as she looked to Sayid. "You?" Jack asked Sayid. "Sure." He answered trying to be sarcastic. They all three seemed to take a long deep breath as they headed out into the jungle. None of them had any idea of what they were to encounter out in depths of the island.
