AN: Here is the third chapter. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Lost, but I do own my characters.
I woke up to sun shining through the jungle trees. I sat up to find everyone awake and doing their own thing. My olive skin was sticky with sweat and I felt my medium length, dark brown hair messy. I needed a shower, badly.
I got up and picked up the blanket and pillow and put it back where the others were. I decided to go to the beach to see what everyone else was doing. I followed the man-made path and some people were passing me to go to the caves. They either said good morning or just stared at me. I smiled and I overheard some of them saying, "That's the girl that came out of jungle last night."
I finally came to the beach. It was a beautiful day and the sounds of the waves reminded reminded me of home. Home. How I wish I was there.
"Hi there."
I turn to the right to face the source of the voice. It was the guy with the blue eyes. "I'm sorry about last night," I told him. He raised his eyebrow and realized what I was talking about. "It's ok," he said softly. Then there was the awkward silence between us. He finally broke the silence.
"I'm Boone, by the way."
"Kristin."
We shook hands. Hmmm, nice grip. Smiling at that thought, he broke it by saying, "Well, I have to go. I'll see you around, ok?" I nodded and he left. I watch him walk to Locke and they entered the jungle.
What to do now, I thought. Looking around the beach, I finally found who I was looking for: Charlie. He was so nice to me last night and I would like to get to know him better. He was sitting in the sand, staring into the waves. Not even two steps away from the path's entrance, I heard the voice coming from the one person that I didn't want face today. "It's not even your first full day here and you already have a crush on Pretty Boy and now about to make a move on Shorty. Trying to start a fight Jungle Girl?"
I groaned and turned around to Sawyer. "Good morning to you too. And my name is Kristin not Jungle Girl," I said. He just smiled and then said, "I just like to give nicknames to everyone I meet."
"I thought you didn't trust me."
"I didn't say that exactly, but since Doc and Freckles like you, I might as well bug you like I do to everyone else," he said with a smirk.
"You're an ass."
"Thank you."
I rolled my eyes and said, "Why don't you bug someone else, like that Freckles person you were talking about."
"Ah, yes, Kate. That's a good idea. See ya around Jungle Girl." He turned and walked away. "It's Kristin!" I yelled at his back. Sighing, I turned and walked towards Charlie. I sat next to him and he turned his head to see who was next to him.
"Hey," I said. He smiled weakly and nodded. He then turned his eyes back to the sea. "Did I catch you at a bad time?" I asked. He shook his head no. Not feeling wanted, I was about to get up when he said, "Don't leave." Confused, I sat back down and looked out into ocean with him. After what seemed forever, he finally said something.
"I miss her."
"Miss who?"
"Claire."
"Who's Claire?"
He then told me the story how they met to when she was kidnapped by this Ethan guy. I was shocked when he told me how Jack and Kate found him hanging from a tree and how they brought him back to life. I could barley see the mark the rope left on his neck. He fell silent again. "I'm sure she's ok," I said, "She's coming back soon."
He looked at me strangely after I said that. "And how do you know this?" "I can feel it," I said. He chuckled and said, "You know, since last night, I'm thinking that you're in on Claire's kidnapping."
"I hope you don't believe that now."
"I'm not sure."
"What do you mean you're not sure!"
"Well, let's think here. You suddenly appear out of the bloody jungle last night and now you say that Claire is coming back soon. How do I not know that you're behind this with Ethan?" I stared at him and by reading his eyes, I felt the fear and anger. I knew he wanted me to say that I was behind it all, but I know I wasn't. I stood up and looked down at him.
"I'm not! I don't know who he is. Can't I just get it through your head that I don't remember anything!" I yelled. By now, everyone on the beach stop what they were doing and was staring at us. I then turned and left to go back to the caves. Tears of fustration were streaming out of my eyes and I was hearing Charlie calling my name. I could feel all eyes on me as I stormed back to the path.
The only good thing that came out of this was that I found the showers. I finally stopped my silly crying while showering. Even though the water was cold, it felt good on my sweaty skin. I got out and put my clean jean shorts and a white tank top over the wet bathing suit I was wearing. I put up my hair so the cool water could go down my hot back. Back in the caves, I put away everything and noticed no one around. Probably on the beach, I thought. I then saw someone in front of me.
I looked up to find a man in a white business suit, staring at me. He then turned around and walked into the jungle. I got up to follow him. I entered the jungle and he was standing a couple of feet away.
"Wow, you finally decided to show up," I said.
"I need to talk to you," he said.
"Talk to me about what?"
"The reason you're on the island."
I walked up to him and cross my arms, "Tell me, dear old friend."
"Something happen to you after the crash that shouldn't have happen."
I stood there, in shocked after what he said. "What happened?" I asked.
"The doctor was suppose to find you after the crash, but someone else found you. Someone that is dangerous."
"You mean Ethan?"
"Yes, he took you while you were out. I don't know what he did to you, but I'm trying to let the young girl free."
"Sorry for changing the subject, Max. Why am I doing here?"
"There is danger back at home."
"What kind of danger? What about Mom?"
"I'm afraid I can't answer that right now, but it looks to me you have company."
"Huh?" He pointed to something behind me. I turned to face the 'company' that was listening on our conversation.
AN: Now you're probably wondering who she was talking to and who was listening to the conversation. Well, you'll just have to find out in the next chapter. Hahaha, I'm so evil to you guys. Lol. Well, please review and give me any ideas on how to make this story better. Also, give me some suggestions on whom to pair Kristin up with. Should I go with Boone or make up another male character? Thanks guys!
Phoenix: Thank you soooo much for reading my story and giving me some tips. Hopefully, your computer will come around and start to work! Thanks Lost and Hoosier buddy!
Alyssa: Thanks for reviewing!
