Stranded Memories

Rating: PG-13 for language

Disclaimer: I own crap. They wouldn't even give me the bloody Lost poster at Disney, and that ruined my day. FOX owns all OC characters and OC related thingys… and ABC owns sobs all Lost related things… even my Charlie…

Summary: Little things can push people over the edge. That very thing happens to Seth Cohen. When something happens to him that sends him into a crashing situation, who knows how he will survive. Seth-centric. Lost/OC Crossover.

A/n: Just as a warning, neither of us like Kate very much…

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

"Of Kate and Charlie"

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I knew it wouldn't be that long until Jack came over to talk to me, so I walked over to my discarded book and sat down. Quickly, I picked it up and began drawing again.

Call me psychic, but not very long later, Jack walked over with the other black book. I kept myself from laughing. "Hey Seth," he said. The sun was just beginning to set, so I decided to pack my stuff away.

"Hi Jack," I said, putting my one arm behind my head as I looked over at him.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" he asked. I chuckled slightly. Trying to play as if I had never hear his conversation with Walt.

"You're talking to me now, aren't you?"

He chuckled and sat down next to me. I moved my arm. "I guess I am," he said. "But I was reading your…"

"Comic book," I finished for him.

"Yeah…" he said. He took a deep breath. I was tempted to ask the question for him, but then I remembered that I hadn't eavesdropped on that conversation or at least I was gonna pretend that I hadn't. "Its good," he said, sounding a bit uncomfortable.

"Thanks," I said, not quite sure of what else to say. He sat there in silence for a while. I broke the silence. "Your mind seems a bit preoccupied; do you want to tell me what you're thinking?"

He was just silent. "Jack?"

Slowly, he opened up the book to the back where the newer stuff was. "Where did you get these ideas, Seth?" he asked. His voice was calm, but preoccupied.

I shrugged. "I don't know. I just thought of them, so I wrote them down," I said, staring off into blank space.

"So you don't remember anything?"

I shook my head. What was he getting at? Who was Ethan, who was Charlie? The words were on the tip of my tongue, but I refused to let them come out.

He pointed to the pictures of Alex and Rick. "These look a lot like… two people that you… claim to not remember."

Now I was extremely confused. If they were people I didn't know, didn't remember, how could I draw them? I just looked at him for a while, as if he had three heads.

"Seth, Alex… he looks and acts remarkably like the guy who kidnapped you. And Rick, Rick looks like…" he looked like he was trying to find the right words to unconfuse me. "A guy who disappeared when you were found."

"Charlie?" I asked.

"You remember him?" he asked.

"No, I have ears," I laughed slightly. He laughed too, then sighed. That was when I heard it.

It was quiet. Not very loud, but I heard screaming. I looked around quickly, as if to try and figure out what exactly it was that I was hearing. "Did you hear that?" I asked Jack.

He looked at me oddly. "Seth, I didn't hear anything. What did you hear?"

"Screaming," I said quietly, trying to listen closer for more, but I didn't hear anything.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

I didn't fall asleep for the rest of the night. I just sat there, staring off into space. Jack left after I refused to talk and kept telling him to be quiet. I just looked around into the darkness all night long, but it wasn't until the next morning that I heard it again.

This time it was louder. I quickly stood up and looked around. No one else seemed to hear it. "Didn't you hear that?" I asked Walt, who was the nearest person to me.

"Hear what Seth?" he asked me.

"Screaming," I responded. I heard it again. This time it was louder. I looked around more frantically.

"Are you okay?" he asked me. I shook my head and ran to find Jack. He had to be able to hear it.

I found him talking to Locke. "Jack, Jack…" I said quickly.

Jack looked at Locke, "Excuse me…" he got up. "What is it Seth?"

"The screaming, I heard the screaming again, and this time it was louder. Something bad is happening." I was getting more and more worried. A sick feeling was growing up inside of me.

"Seth, there was no screaming," Locke said from behind Jack.

"Yes there was!" I said frantically. They had to listen to me.

"I think…" Jack paused.

"You think I'm going crazy, don't you?" I snapped, glaring at him. Jack looked down at the ground and I knew that he was trying to hide it. "Fine," I snapped, beginning to walk away.

"SETH! SETH, WHERE ARE YOU GOING!" he shouted at me. I didn't listen to him as I heard the screaming in the distance again. I broke out into a run.

Jack ran after me. I could hear him. But that didn't make me go any slower.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

Unfortunately, I still wasn't feeling all the best and got tired quickly. Jack caught up with me easily. "You have to calm down Seth, there was no screaming."

I stopped and took a deep breath. "Yes, there was Jack. I know I'm not hearing things. I heard it last night. I heard it a few minutes ago. I feel like something bad is happening, I have this sick feeling."

He looked at me as if I was crazy. "I'm not crazy," I said. Once again, I heard it. I looked around. It was so loud. I looked at him. "Please tell me you heard that!"

Jack shook his head. Then I heard a male shouting in pain. I looked around. Jack probably didn't hear that either. He needed to get his ears cleaned out. Seriously. If he couldn't hear it. Then I heard a rustling behind us and Claire was bringing up the rear.

"I saw you two run out… and it worried me. You have to tell me what is going on."

I took the distraction as a help and began running again. I was still exhausted, but something bad was going to happen.

"SETH!" I heard them both shout it, but I didn't stop. I was still so tired, but the sick feeling was getting stronger. And the screaming, the screaming was getting louder. Then a gunshot thundered through the forest and my pace quickened.

Then I stopped when I saw it. I saw a man, a man and Kate. Neither of them were screaming, but I could hear shouting get louder and louder. Kate was bleeding. The man was holding a gun in his hand.

"Shit," I said almost silently. Then the man walked closer to me. Shit. Where were Jack and Claire? Why was this guy looking at me as if he knew me? Who was he?

"Well well well, if it isn't the rat," he said, with a smile. "Nice to see you Seth."

"Who the hell are you?" I snapped, glaring at him. I heard Kate choking in pain. Where were they? There wasn't anything I could do.

The man laughed. "Don't remember me, do you?" His face twisted into malicious grin. Then I recognized him. He was… he was Alex. The character I wrote in the comic. And according to Jack, he was the one that had kidnapped me. But I didn't remember being kidnapped. He got closer and closer and he reached out and forced his hands around my neck.

"You shouldn't have survived,"

Suddenly, Jack and Claire appeared out of nowhere. "What the hell?" Jack asked angrily, before noticing Kate lying on the ground. Taking advantage of the distraction once again, I kicked him hard. He fell down to the ground, and I made myself as far away as possible from him.

Jack was visibly shaking. I didn't see Kate breathing. I knew I heard something… and then the dream. Holy shit. She couldn't be dead, could she?

The next thing either of us knew, Ethan was trying to attack me or Claire, since we were both standing next to each other. Protectively, I put an arm around her. She was the only person I felt I could trust. I couldn't let him get her.

But before he could get to either of us, Jack launched himself at Ethan and began beating the shit out of him. I felt like I was watching the crap being beat out of me, at every occurrence with the water polo people. The odds were definitely in Jack's favor. I mean the guy was skinny. He didn't look like he was strong enough to break an egg, let alone beat up someone like Jack.

Boy was I wrong. It wasn't long before Ethan got the upper hand. He was punching Jack now, and I went to go help him when I heard the shouting again. It was so loud it hurt my ears. Using my one good hand, I tried to cover my ears.

Then suddenly it all stopped. Everything became silent. The fight was back up off the ground. They were both just glaring at each other. "You killed her," Jack said, sounding upset. So Kate was dead. Holy crap. "Why?"

Ethan just smiled. It was disgusting, his mouth was bleeding, so his teeth were covered in blood. I looked away.

"She wasn't the first," he said simply. "Remember Charlie?"

I felt Claire grab my good arm. I looked down at her, she looked like she was ready to break down.

"He got in my way, and now he's dead too. Who's next, Jack? Charlie, Kate. How many more people are gonna die before you realize that I have the upper hand here, and you're just gonna have to live with it."

I could hear Claire sobbing slightly. Charlie was the one who disappeared. I didn't think he was dead. Then it hit me. He couldn't be dead. It was an unexplainable feeling, I just knew it. "Shhhh," I said quietly. "Claire, Charlie's not dead, he's bluffing."

"Wanna bet Cohen?" Ethan asked me. Now he began coming closer to me. "I killed him myself with my bare hands. And I think you or your little girlfriend'll be next, maybe both of you." He smiled again. Claire's grip on my arm became so tight, I wouldn't be surprised if my circulation would be cut off. "I nearly killed you once, I won't mess up this-"

Ethan was cut off. Gun shots were fired right at his back. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. All in rapid succession. He had a look of pain then relief in his face as he fell to the ground right in front of me and Claire. She screamed slightly and then, both of us looked at who had shot. It wasn't Jack. He was looking at him too.

"Charlie?" Claire asked.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

A/n: I may end up posting this while on vacation, because I've had it written for a while. Sorry that it is so short, but hell... I need to start mentioing Sawyer some more. I do believe I've come up with a set amount of time they're gonna be on there (FOREVER!), but I won't say how long just yet. But I'm hoping to bring this to a close soon, so the next few chapters may be a little vague. This is the longest thing I've ever written, and this is the closest I've ever come to finishing something this big. And this is only part 1. xD. Thanks to the reviewers:

Harper's Pixie - It's okay, you just had me a little confused there. I hope you liked this chapter.

DeuCe628- Muchas gracias!

alexis - Now hold on one second... who ever said that? HOTA KA! Haha. But I nearly forgot about the 'monster' because of Ethan, but I will probably encorporate it later in the story...

paige fan - Well, I am on vacation now, but I had this part already typed up and on the site, so I a just typing up these little things in the hotel room. Haha. Even though this part is short, it is important, so I hope ya liked it:D
