I am so out of it. This chapter is more from Claire's mind if anything. I'm thinking of doing the next one from Chariles POV. Not sure. How about you review and tell what you want me to do.. waggles eyebrows eh? Eh?

---------------------

Claire glanced over at Shannon, she knew how hard it would be to get off those baby pounds she gained with Aaron… she paused a moment, Aaron, it seems, the bringer of bad luck. It was his fault she broke up with Thomas, and if it wasn't for him she wouldn't be on this godforsaken island… but if she wasn't on this 'godforsaken' island then she would have never met Charlie. Claire sighed, Charlie, so cute, yet she shouldn't get involved, not again, not so soon, not on a island in the middle of nowhere.

Claire glanced up, speaking of the boys where are they? She saw Sayid talking to Shannon, or more like Sayid talking to a brick wall. Claire scoffed inwardly, good luck Sayid. She scanned the beach, her gaze falling upon Charlie and Aaron, with Sawyer. Good to know, even though she still doesn't get it… Sawyer… soothing… babies... as if. Claire's thoughts were interrupted by Shannon's yelling.

"…you think you know! Well guess what Sayid, I DON'T CARE!"

Then Shannon ran off into the jungle. Ouch. Claire glanced over at Sayid, the look on his face was to break even Sawyer's non-existant heart. He started to get up, as if to go after her, but then sat back down, as if he decided not to go. Claire, peered into the jungle.. and with nothing better to do, stood up, dusted of her skirt and started after Shannon.

The minute Claire stepped into the dark jungle she regretted it. See, even during the day the path to the caves in dark, and Claire never really like the dark much. Too spontaneous. Things could jump out and trip you at any moment, plus it is very easy to get lost in the dark… not fun. Not her kind of thing either, Claire didn't like spontaneous, she liked good old predictable planned fun.

"Oomp!"

Was that Shannon?

"Godammit! Stupid root! Die! Die! I said DIE YOU DI-"

Yup, that was definitely Shannon.

"Shannon, are you okay?" Claire said peering around a tree to see one helluva sight. Shannon mush have tripped over a tree root and then got quite mad at it. Because now she was proceeding to beat with a branch…

"Shannon be careful, you don't want to tr-" And Shannon had fell again, she sat up, put her face in her hand and started crying. This is exactly why Claire didn't like the dark. Trees jump out and attack you. Mean girls cry. The dark was way too unpredictable. Claire would stick to the sunlight from now on.

"Oh Claire, I don't get it. How come every time something starts to go right it has to become so wrong?" Shannon asked tearily.

Claire kneeled and helped Shannon up, "Lets go get you some water," Claire said, "and on the way there you can tell me what happened." Shannon sniffled and nodded, 'this might be a while' she thought.
