Chapter 4: In the back of the Cave!
Shannon, Sayid, Charlie, and Claire continued their journey, it was 12:30am and the walking was starting to get to everyone. Shannon was now riding on Sayid's back with her head on his shoulder, and Claire was doing the same with Charlie. They had all decided that they had gone to far to turn back, and that they should continue on until they got to the end. Shannon and Claire had appeared to fall asleep. Sayid and Charlie decided to set them down and let them sleep. Shannon and Claire's heads were using Sayid and Charlie's lap as a pillow.
"Sayid, do you ever wonder what will happen to all of us if we continue living like this, in our small little tents on the beach, having to pack up our stuff when we see clouds, not having a safe place to go?" Charlie asked Sayid in a whisper, so not to wake up the girls.
"Yes, I always am so worried that one day I will be out on a hike, and something will happen to Shannon, I know you do the same with Claire, but we don't have enough tools to build houses for everyone, or enough people willing to help. I just pray every night that we will see a boat, or a plane, or a submarine for all I care, and Shannon and I can go live in a big house right outside of the city of her choice." Sayid replied, daydreaming while talking.
"You in a city? I can see that! Taxi! Taxi!" Charlie badly imitated Sayid's accent, which made them both laugh silently.
"I just want Shannon to be happy and have the best. I cant stand seeing her here, not able to escape the memories of her brother, always looking alone."
"You think Shannon looks unhappy? She looks happier than I have ever seen her on the island when she is with you!" With that, Shannon opened her eyes.
"Did someone say my name?" She said while yawning.
"Only in good terms." Sayid answered, and kissed her on her head. Claire was now waking up too. "Should we finish what we started?"
"Yup! Lets go!" Shannon now wide-awake jumped up extending her hand to Sayid, who used it to pull her into a kiss. "Never mind, lets hang out here for a bit!"
"Come on!" Claire said. " I want to see what lies at the end of the mysterious cave!"
They walked for two minutes before they reached a split. Two directions. Separated by a big rock wall.
"Well, what do we do now?" Shannon whined. "We could go this way, and you to could go that way?"
"But then we run back here to this spot and tell each other what we saw!" Claire replied, a sounding a little happy that her and Charlie could spend some alone time.
Shannon and Sayid didn't walk far before seeing a very unexpected site. There was a little abandoned room in the cave. Someone had clearly lived there before. There was a bed clearly made out of wood from a tree, a wooden Chair, a shelf that still contained old belongings on them, a big wooden tub that might have been used to hold water, and a wooden table with chairs around them, there was also a little baby crib in the corner.
"Oh My God!" Shannon was in awe of the sight before her. Sayid had already started examining things, looking at old pictures, and tools left behind.
"Shannon, Sayid, You'll never gue-" Claire stopped talking when she ran in and saw what Sayid and Shannon were looking at. "There is a room identical to this on the other side! Its amazing!"
Just then the golden locket fell out of Sayid's pocket, and lay open on the floor. Shannon picked it up, and looked at it, then a picture on the shelf, then back at the locket. There was a young couple, around there age in the locket, and the same couple in the picture.
