Chapter 3 to LOST Love
We come back to Alex's group, for the moment leaving the creepy shack.
A few hours later, Sun tapped Alexandra on the shoulder. Alex turned and softly questioned her with her eyes. Sun tried to explain, "Long time. No rock."
Alexandra looked puzzled. Then she realized that she meant the cave when she said the rock. Alexandra pointed to a clump of trees and said, "It's just past those trees, see?"
Sun looked to where she was pointing, nodded and smiled. She turned to Jin and explained in Korean.
Sayid came up to her as well and said, "It has been a long time…do you know where you are going?" His eyes held hope that she did, but his tone implied that she didn't. "This cave could be…"
Alexandra held her hand up and said, "Ssh…" She scanned the area and then closed her eyes. Her dreamed flashed through her head. She could see Sayid walking in front of her, evading her grasp…The trees rustled and sighed in the wind…
She opened her eyes and said, "Yes, I know it's this way. Have faith." She turned and kept walking.
Sayid mentally started hitting himself. Stupid stupid! You should have trusted her! It was her dream after all. Stupid!
Soon, they reached the clump of trees Alexandra had been pointing to and looked around. They could see for miles with this view. It was now mid-day and the sun was at it's highest. Everyone was starting to sweat in the heat.
Suddenly, Alexandra pointed to their right and they all looked up. There was the cave! Alexandra shivered in remembrance of her dream…it looked even scarier now that it was real. Sayid fully looked at the cave with his keen eyes…There was a steep hill heading up to the cave. It was fairly large, no hanging crystals or stalactites to be seen. It looked very dark and ominous in this bright sunlight. Huge trees surrounded it, seemingly sheltering that darkness.
Alexandra turned to Claire and asked, "Claire? Are you okay with this climb? After all, you just had your baby two weeks ago…"
Claire smiled slightly and said, "I'm a tough girl. I can handle it. If I can carry a baby and then give birth to it, I can do damn near anything. Besides…" her expression darkened severely, "Charlie's up there. I can feel it."
Back to Kate's group…
They approached the shack quietly. When they reached the front door, Kate bent down to examine the grass in front of it. "This has been in use recently. The grass is all stamped down," she said quietly. Michael went in front of her and very silently pushed the wooden door open. It wasn't really a wooden door, it was just made out of sticks tied together that were somehow tied to one side of the door to make hinges.
Michael went in and the group followed. There was a crudely fashioned table and chair meant for one person and a bunch of rags on the floor. Kate assumed it was a makeshift bed. There were knives everywhere…hanging from the ceiling, on the table, even some were on the floor. There were all sizes, ranging from small throwing knives to huge butcher knives.
"What would someone do with so many knives?" Hurley asked quietly. Kate simply shook her head. Suddenly, a breeze blew in through the open door, causing the knives hanging from the ceiling to sway. Very threatening looking…
Suddenly, a huge knife dropped right in front of Kate, narrowly missing her face! She screamed and jumped back. The knife hit the floor at an odd angle and spun along the floor. The knife slowly spun and then stopped right in front of Kate, sharp end pointing at her, and looking closer, she realized there was blood on the tip of the knife!
Only Boone wasn't afraid. He had been very quiet through this whole escapade, and still didn't say anything. He picked up the knife and said, "Come on, let's get out of here."
Hurley instantly agreed and ran out the door. Everyone followed him except Boone. He stayed for a second, looking around. Kate turned and said warningly, "Boone? Are you coming?" Boone stared at her and reluctantly followed her out of the door.
Oooo, creepy Boone has some creepy secret about the creepy shack! lol too many creepies in one line…Is Charlie really in the cave? We shall see!
