The sun was setting on the beach while Shannon was writing in her journal...A warm and soothing breeze quickly blew across Shannon's face...Shannon looked up towards the sky to feel the breeze on her face and when she lowered it down to write some more,she saw Sayid and said hello...Sayid responded with a shy look..."Hi...So how's the journal going?"
"Oh, about the same. You know 'Dear Diary, still stuck on Craphole Island. Today I ate some fruit, picked the sand out of my hair..."
Sayid laughed and said, "I think If I had a journal it would go something like 'Dear Diary...Another beautiful day with a very beautiful girl ." Shannon smiled. Sayid sat down next to her, leaned in, and gave her a quick kiss. Shannon touched his face and smiled, she hadn't smiled in a while..Boone's death made sure of that. They sat like that for a silent moment. The way Sayid was looking at her made Shannon wonder how she was ever angry with him. Just as they started getting comfortable, shannon started coughing, she grasped her throat, as she looked up at sayid, who had a terrified look on his face.
"Shannon!" Sayid said. "Shannon, breathe through your nose..." He held her hand and watched her carefully, willing her through the asthma attack. "Jack! Jack come quickly," Sayid yelled.."She's having an asthma attack." Jack quickly came running over to Sayid and Shannon..Without thinking Sayid forcefully grabbed Jack's arm and said "Jack...don't let her die"...Jack look at Sayid and said, "Shes going to be fine..now stand back and let me do my job"..
"Shannon, I need you to breathe with me, okay?" Shannon nodded at Jack, but continued to choke in broken breaths. "Sayid, go find Sun." Sayid looked around for someone to go find Sun. There was no way he was leaving Shannon. "GO SAYID!" Jack yelled. Sayid didn't know what to do when he saw Jin walk up the beach. "Jin find Sun now!" Sayid yelled trying to break the language barrier, all Jin did was stare at him. "SUN! YOU MUST GET SUN!" Sayid yelled. All of the sudden, Sun appeared through the woods..She was bringing back water to the beach because she was very thirsty...As soon as she heard her name being screamed she ran over.
"What is wrong?" Sun asked before she reached the group on the beach. "Shannon's having an asthma attack," Jack and Sayid said at the same time... Sun quickly ran to Shannon's side..."Shannon..calm down..count with me now...1...2...3..." Shannon calmly started repeating the numbers and calming down. A sigh of relief came over Sayid's face while Jack gave off a big smile.."You're gonna be fine,Shannon," Jack replied. "I'll let you two calm down," Jack said as he walked away. Shannon stared at Sayid and brushed away a piece of fallen hair from his eyes. "Thank-you for staying with me", she said. "No problem," Sayid said with a smile. "These asthma attacks have been coming without any warnings at all lately," Shannon said. "I'm just scared that one day you won't be around to save me."
"I'll always be around," Sayid said, as he kissed Shannon gently on the forehead. Shannon smiled, and rested her head on his shoulder. "But what if one day I have one in the middle of the night or something, and everyone is asleep?" Shannon said with a hint of worry in her voice. "I was thinking about that too," Sayid said, "What if you were to move in with me?" Shannon smiled and said, "I thought you agreed to take things slow?" Sayid looked at her and said "I did..and I still do..I just thought with things being so scary now, you might want me to keep you safe." Shannon smiled again and said, "Can I have a little time to think about it?" Sayid smiled and replied, "Sure...you can have all the time you need."
That night, Shannon sat by herself, staring out into the ocean thinking. She knew that she loved Sayid, but was afraid to get close, which is what would happen if they moved in with each other. Everyone who she had ever been close to had died. Her mom, dad, and brother. But she had a feeling everytime she was around Sayid... A feeling of hope, love and peace. When she was with Sayid, she knew everything would be ok. With that thought, Shannon got up to go tell Sayid that she did want to move in with him, but before she could find him she heard a big crash. "RUUUUUN!" she heard a male's voice shout.
Shannon looked worried but everyone was running so fast that she couldn't ask them what was happening...So all she could do was run herself..She saw Artz running as fast as he could(which wasn't that fast) but he didn't seem to notice her..He completely knocked her down to the ground as he came charging her way..The sand was usually soft but the way Shannon fell, it was not..She layed there for a minute trying to catch her breath and spit the sand out of her mouth when all of the sudden a strong, yet familiar hand pulled her up...It was Sayid.."Shannon..we must go.." Shannon nervously responded, "Sayid? Whats going on?" Sayid was always in the know on these things..but he didn't seem to have a clue what was going on, "I have no clue..I just know we have to run." Shannon tried but she felt a throbbing pain in her leg.."OUCH!" Shannon yelled as she grabbed her leg and fell to the ground.."Shannon, whats wrong?" Sayid asked..."Its my leg..Artz knocked me to the ground and I must have sprained it or something.." Without hesitation, Sayid picked Shannon up and started running as fast as he could.
Shannon glanced over her shoulder as they were getting farther and farther away. She screamed when she saw a horrible figure approaching them, not far behind.
"Run Sayid!" Shannon cried in fear. Sayid tried to run faster but it didn't help at all, he tripped over a log and went sprawling over the sand. "Shannon!" Sayid yelled, "Are you ok?"... "I'm fine, I just can't walk," yelled Shannon a little farther behind him. Shannon couldn't help but laugh a bit in her mind, they were about to die and Sayid just cared if she was ok or not, but that's Sayid for you, she thought. Sayid ran over to Shannon and just when he was about to lift her up again a humongous shadow hovered over them and it was dead silent, it seemed like everything froze in time right that moment. "Sayid, run," Shannon said calmly, "don't worry about me Sayid, just run, save yourself."
"Shannon I would Rather die then leave you here," Sayid said...And without a second thought of what to do, he pulled out a gun from his belt, and began to shoot! Shannon closed her eyes and felt Sayid pull her close and tell her it was all over, for that moment in time, she felt safe. Shannon opened her eyes expecting to see the dead creature, however it wasn't there! "Where did it go?" Shannon asked..Sayid looked at Shannon and replied, "It ran off, Shannon. We can't stay here, it's not safe!" Sayid picked Shannon up again and he ran as fast as he could..He was out of breath but he would never leave Shannon..They made it a little farther down the beach when all of the sudden they saw all of the other survivors.."Where have you been?" Charlie asked running up to Sayid and Shannon...Sayid and Shannon both looked at eachother..Everyone on the beach seemed calm..They didn't seem like the same people who were just running from the monster.."Charlie? Why are you guys so calm? You were just running from the monster..." Sayid said in a nervous way.."Have you gone bloody mad,Sayid? We have been here this whole time," Charlie replied as he walked back to Claire and her baby..Sayid and Shannon looked at eachother..Did they only imagine it? Their faces said it all, and they were scared..It seemed like they only had eachother.
