Nothing else happened through out the day. I decided to give up and go back to the camp the next day. I was poking at the small campfire with a stick and thinking about the day's events. I smiled as I thought about the kiss. I was getting excited just thinking about him and what we should do tomorrow when I see him.
The night air was getting chilly and I wrapped the blanket tighter around me. All I could hear was the trees moving with the breeze and a couple of animal sounds here and there. I swore I could even hear a cricket.
My eyes became droopy and I finally decided to go to bed. I laid down on the pillow and fell asleep.

"Boone! Get out of there!"
I opened my eyes. I was in the jungle, once again and I looked down to find the source of the voice. It was John Locke and he was sitting on the ground, yelling at Boone. I looked up to see where he was. It was the plane. The plane that has been in my dreams. Panic started to rise inside of me as the plane was rocking.
"Get out of there!"
The plane falls over and lands on the nose. Then the plane falls onto its back and the plane sits still. My heart starts to thud so fast and loud, I couldn't hear anything else. John goes towards the plane, limping slightly. I also walk and stopped right next to the plane. John bends down to the door and grabs Boone and puts him over his shoulders.
Tears start to stream down my eyes as I see John walking away with Boone. No, this can not happen. I made a sudden decision to follow John and then my dream ended.
XXXXX
I woke up with a cold sweat and noticed that the sun was starting to rise. I started to replay the dream in my head. Its just a stupid dream. Its not going to happen, right? I laid back down and decided to leave early to get Jacey to show her this and then back to the camp to find Boone and warn him.
Then everything will be alright. Yeah, everything is going to be fine, but why do I have that bad, sick feeling in my stomach?
XXXXX
"Stupid! God, I'm so stupid!"
I said out loud when I was running through the jungle. I woke up late and I found out that my digital watch that my cousin gave to me for Christmas last year had died. From the sun, I could tell it was around noon.
Avoiding branches and roots, I ran the best I could and finally made to the beach. Everyone was awake and doing something and I started to scan the beach to find Jacey. "Where the bloody hell have you been?"
I turned to fine Charlie. "I'm sorry, but I can't talk right now. Have you seen Jacey?" I asked him. "Yeah, she's over there," he pointed. I looked over to see Jacey talking to Sawyer, who has glasses on. Huh?
I looked back to Charlie. "Thanks! I will talk to you as soon as I get back." "Well, ok, but…" "Thanks again, mate!" I flashed him a smile and ran towards Jacey. "Jacey!"
She turned around. "Kris! You're back."
"Yeah, but I need to show you something quickly. Then I will tell you everything."
"Show me what?"
"Jacey, I can't explain right now. We have to go. Now."
She sighed. "Fine, let's go."

Back into the jungle, we were walking pretty fast. I started to bite my lip. Will she believe me? Or will she laugh in my face? Man, this is really bugging me. I stopped walking when I started to hear the waterfall. I turned to face her and she gave me this really questionable look.
"Before we move on, I really need to tell you something. Jacey, I can talk to the dead," I said rather quickly.
I looked at her and she gave me this blank look. It looked like she was processing what I told her.
"I can also read people's thoughts," I also told her. Well, most of the time. Once again, her look was blank. "It would be nice if you said something."
She raised her eyebrow and looked like she was trying to think of a response. "Like…um…Miss Cleo?" she said. I cracked a smile and started to laugh. She gave me her questionable look again. "That's what Sawyer said when he found out."
"Wait. You talk to the dead and read people's thoughts. And Sawyer knows?"
"Yeah."
Her eyes narrowed. "I know its not something you hear everyday, but its true!" I cried out. She gave me a smirked and started to think. "Fine, psychic girl. Tell me what I'm thinking right now."
I saw an image of Sawyer with his glasses and then another image of him without his shirt. I started to smile and realize that he looked pretty good without a shirt. "Sawyer," I told her.
Her eyes widen. "I am not!"
"Don't lie to me. It doesn't work."
I turned around and pushed through some bushes to find the waterfall with the lake once again. I started to look out and Jacey spoke up. "If I was really thinking about him, I would be thinking about how much I can't stand him."
"Or how much you like it when he takes off his shirt?" I smiled. I heard her groan and she stood right next to me. "That's the stupidest thing I have ever heard," she said to herself. I rolled my eyes and pointed out to the lake.
"You see that over there?" I asked her. She turned to see what I was pointing at. "What is that?" she asked me. "A couple of the passengers of your plane drowned in this lake. May God rest their souls," I said the last part in a whisper and I made the sign of the cross.
"You know, that was your plane too," she told me. I looked over at her. Maybe it was, but I don't remember. "You know Jack found me." Well, actually the first one to stepped up to me to help me out.
"I know that, but you probably had amnesia and don't remember being on the plane."
Hmmm, she has a point. I shook out that thought and turned away. "Anyway, the spirits in there were the ones that were pulling you down." "Why would they do that?" she asked me. I shrugged my shoulders. "I really don't know."
We looked back into the water, asking ourselves the same question.

We walked back into the jungle and I was feeling exhausted. I was hoping and praying that Boone will be there at the beach and I can talk to him. Then an image enter into my mind and I stopped walking.
I saw the plane that was in my dreams, falling with Boone in it. Then John struggling to walk back to the caves with Boone over his shoulders. "Oh God," I whispered.
"Kris, what's wrong?"
"Boone."
I started to run as fast as I could with Jacey yelling my name. Please God, don't take him away from me, please. Tears started to come down my cheek and my heart started to thump harder and harder as I kept on running.
The cave came into my sight and I stopped in front of the entrance and tried to catch my breath. There was a lot of movement inside and a lot of people coming in and out of the cave. Then I heard the most awful sound.
Boone's scream.
More tears came down and I entered the cave. Sun and Jack were trying to calm him down. Sun was in the way and I couldn't see his face, only his legs and they looked horrible. Sun moved and I could see his face.
I gasped and saw that it had dried blood and some bruises. He had his eyes closed and he looked like he kept slipping in and out of consciousness.
"Kristin, what are you doing here?"
I looked to find Jack looking at me. "I heard him scream and I came to see what was going on," I told him. Jack sighed. "I really don't need anymore people here."
"Let me help."
He raised his eyebrow and started to think. He sighed once more. "Fine, just get a wash cloth and put it on his head to cool him down." I nodded and started to search for wash cloth or any type of cloth. I finally found one.
I went over to the small waterfall where we get our drinking water and started to wet the wash cloth. I squeezed out the extra water and walked quickly back to Boone. I placed it on his forehead and he moaned.
Sun and Jack were talking about something and I went to the left side. I carefully picked up his hand and held it in my hands. I started to stare at him and was trying to get into his mind to find anything about what made him get into that plane.
A small squeeze from his hand tore me away from his mind. I gave out a small cry and Jack and Sun turned. "What's wrong?" Jack asked me. "He squeezed my hand!" I told him. "What?" Jack walked over to my side and looked down at Boone.
"Boone, can you hear me?"
He gave out a moan. "Boone, its Kristin. Please tell Jack what happen," I begged him. He did nothing and his hand that I held kind of went limp. I softly started to cry.
Jack sighed and went back to Boone's injured leg. I did nothing but held his hand and watch him, hoping he would wake up soon.

Flashback
"Will you please tell me what room William Thompson is?"
"Room 345 B."
"Thank you."
Kristin walked away from the nurse's station in search of Billy's room. She finally found it and noticed the door was opened. She heard Billy and his mom talking and Kristin softly knocked on the door.
"Kris!" said Billy excitedly.
Kristin smiled and walked towards his bed. He was bald, pale, and had dark circles around his brown eyes. The good thing is that his leukemia had disappeared and his doctor decided to put him in a regular room so he could gain his health back.
She bent down to hug him and he wrapped his arms tightly around her back. "I missed you," he whispered into her ear. "I missed you too," she replied back. They let go of each other and Kristin grabbed a chair and sat right next to his bed.
Billy's mother, Maureen, smiled at her. "How have you been?" she asked Kristin. "I'm doing better," Kristin said.
"How's your mother?"
"She's hanging in there."
"That's good. How's Ben?"
The question hit a nerve within Kristin. Her eyes became misty and racked her brain to come up with an answer. "Kristin, is there something wrong with Ben?" Billy asked her.
Kristin looked at Maureen. "He's terrible. He stays in his room all day and only comes out to use the bathroom and to get food. I peeked in his room one day and he has beer bottles all over the floor."
Maureen shook her head and looked at Kristin. "Don't worry, dear. He's going to get better."
"I hope so," Kristin replied. She looked over at Billy and smiled. At least someone is getting better she thought.

"Boone, what is your blood type?" Sun asked him. He didn't answer her and I just stood there and looked over at Jack trying to sharpen a bamboo stick. He then tries it out on his finger, which doesn't work.
Jack started to curse and Sun suggested a smaller piece of bamboo. Jack started to describe blood veins and I drown out his voice and started to focus on Boone. My hand is still holding onto his and I started to pray that Boone would just wake up.
"A negative," he groans out. My mouth opens and I looked up at Jack and Sun. "What did you say, Boone?" Jack asked him. He groans again and says Shannon. Jack then asks Sun to find Charlie so he can ask everyone what their blood type is. While everything is happening around me, I stare at Boone and my heart starts to break. Why did he say Shannon?
"Boone, its Kristin. Everything is going to be ok," I tell him. He's about to say something, but stops. I sigh and more tears start to form. "What's your blood type?" I hear Jack ask me.
"B positive," I tell him without looking up at him. "Kristin," Jack puts his hand on my shoulder, "its going to be all right. I won't let him die." I look up at him and forced a smile on my lips. I nodded and checked on the wash cloth on his forehead. I noticed it was warm and I got up to refresh it with cold water.
I hear Charlie come in and he and Jack started to talk about what he found out. I turn around to find Jacey talking to Elizabeth. "Where's Kristin? Is she ok?" she asked her.
I walked up to them. "I'm here." Jacey turned around to face me. "I-I'm trying to help, but…" then more tears started to pour out of my eyes. Jacey gave her motherly concerned look to me. "I knew this was going to happen. I was just too stubborn to realize it. It's my fault…" I stopped and I started to cry. This was hurting me so much.
Jacey pulled me into a hug. "Don't say that. You know its not your fault," she tells me. I pulled away from her. "I did know!" I yell at her. She flinches and I started to regret for yelling at her. "I knew, I knew…" and I start to cry again. "Oh, Kristin," she pulls me into another hug. "You really need water. Have they found Shannon yet?" she asked me. I shrugged my shoulders.
"I couldn't find her, but I found this," I hear Sun say to Jack. Jacey and I turned to see what she found. It was a sea urchin. I gasped and Elizabeth says something about a blood transfusion. Jack looks up at us.
"There's too many people in here. I need Sun and Elizabeth to stay. Kristin and Jacey, you need to leave," he told us. Anger starts to boil up in me. "I'm not going. You told me I could stay," I tell him. He sighs and starts to set up the blood transfusion. "Kris, you need to rest. Come on, we'll be nearby. Don't worry," Jacey then tried to steer me to the cave exit to go back to the beach.
I stopped walking and faced her. "I'm not going to leave. I need to be near him." She sighed. "Kris, come down to the beach with me. Its less hectic there and you can rest better," she tries to convince me. I shake my head and Jacey groans. "Please, Kris. You really need to calm down and rest." I shake my head again and she sighs.
"Fine, but if you need anything, I'll be down at the beach." I nodded my head and she leaves. I go back into the caves and notice that Jack had already started the blood transfusion.

Kristin was half-asleep in her bed when she heard the phone ringing. She sighed and looked at her alarm clock: 2:45 AM. She grumbled and was about to go out of her room to answer it when she heard mom pick it up.
Kristin laid back down and listened carefully. She heard her mom gasped and said "I'll wake her up." Kristin closed her eyes and waited for her mom to come into her room. She heard her door opening and the hallway light poured into her room, making her open her eyes.
Her mom is pale and is about to cry. Kristin's heart starts to race. "Mom, what's wrong?"
Her mom sits on her bed and looks sadly at her. "Kris, honey. Billy died about an hour ago."
Kristin stares at her mom. "No, that can't be. His leukemia was gone. He was getting better."
"Kris, his heart stopped. The leukemia somehow made his heart weak. I'm so sorry, baby."
"No…no…"
Kristin started to cry and held onto her mom for the rest of the night.

I started to doze off while watching Jack. He was getting paler by the minute and I was getting impatient for Boone to wake up. "Kris, why don't you get to bed," Jack told me.
I shook my head. "What if he wakes up?"
"I'll get you when he does."
I sighed and looked around to see where I could sleep. Everyone left, except for Sun, who was somewhere. Jin had come back to the caves a couple of hours ago. He said Claire was in labor and Charlie had left with him. Jack told Charlie to tell Kate how to deliver Claire's baby.
Then Sun came up to us and started to check on Boone. She went down to check on his leg. She sighed. "Jack, this isn't working."
"It's his leg, not the blood. The blood is going down there because of compartment syndrome. His injure is not from fall. An object crushed his leg."
Sun ripped out the tube from Jack's arm. I was fully alert and awake now. "What are you doing?" he yelled at her. "You have given him enough," she told him. He got up and left the tent. Sun looked at me.
"Kristin, you need some sleep."
"I need sleep? Jack needs sleep more than I do."
"I know, but he won't until Boone gets better."
"That's why I'm staying here until he does."
She sighed and looked up when Jack entered the tent. "Hurley is going to get Michael," he told us. Sun and I looked at each other with confusion on our faces. "Why?" I asked. He didn't answer me and just started to sift through the instruments.
"Jack?"
We looked up to find Michael. Jack leads him to a container and they start to talk. I look back at Boone and Sun had gone over to Jack and Michael. I held Boone's hand tighter.
I then hear something loud and heavy slam down and hear something break. I look over to find a log half cut by the container.
I let go of Boone's hand and went over to them. "What are you doing?" I asked them. "He's going to cut Boone's injured leg," Sun tells me.
"Are you crazy?" I tell Jack. "It's the only way," Jack says. Then Boone starts to cough. Sun and I raced over to side and tries to give him water. She then puts a towel over his mouth. She pulls it away and the town reveals that he's coughing up blood. I gasped.
"Jack…"
"Ok, Michael. On the count of three…"
"Jack."
"One, two, three."
Michael and Jack were about to lift up Boone to take him to the container when Sun stopped them. "Jack! He's bleeding from the inside. You can't save him!"
"Don't tell me that!" Jack yelled at Sun. He looked at Michael. "Ready? Go." Michael and Jack lift up Boone and move him to the container.
"Jack, there has to be some other way. Please, don't do this," I beg him. Jack ties a cloth above his injure on his leg and he looks up at Michael. "You don't have to watch." Michael nods. "Just yell if you need me."
Sun puts her arm around my shoulders. "Come on, let's go." We start walking away and I look over her shoulder. "Jack, please! Don't do this!" I yell at him. We walked towards the exit and I stopped.
"Sun, please let me stay here."
Michael sighs and walks out to the beach by himself.
"Kristin, you need to come with me to the beach."
I shake my head. "No, I need to stay here."
"You need sleep."
"I can sleep by the entrance."
Sun raised her eyebrows and shakes her head. "If I can't get you to the beach, you might as well sleep here."
"Thanks," I tell her. She nods and leaves.
Too tired to get a blanket and a pillow, I lie on the dirt ground and put my arms underneath my head. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

"Kris, wake up."
I moaned and opened my eyes. I was at the beach and noticed that no one was around. It was empty. I got up from the sand and brushed myself off. I looked up to find the sky in a deep blue color with barley any clouds around. The sun was so bright, you could see the sand in the water.
I felt an arm wrapped around my waist and I looked up to find Boone. I gasped and turned around to face him. He was all right! No blood in sight.
"Boone…"
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Oh, Boone, I thought…"
"Kris, there's something I have to tell you."
"What is it?"
He looked down at his feet and looked back up. He sighed and took my hands into his. "I'm sorry, but Jack couldn't save me."
It took me a minute for that statement to sink in. "No…" I shook my head and let go of his hands. "This can't be." I started to cry.
"Come here," he tells me. I burry my head into his chest and his arms wrap around my waist. He tries to soothe me and I start to cry harder.
After a few minutes, he pulls me back gently. "Kris, I'll always be with you." I nodded and he wipes away a stray tear on my cheek. "There's something else," he tells me. "What is it?" I asked him.
"You need to be careful for now on."
"Why?"
"Something bad is coming."
"What is it?"
"I can't tell you anything else."
"Oh."
He sighs and I smile weakly at him. "Kris, it's time to go." He was about to turn to leave, but I stopped him.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you," I blurt out.
"It's not your fault."
"Yes it is! I should have warned you better!"
He comes closer to me and puts his hand against my cheek. "Don't ever blame yourself for my death."
"But-"
"No."
I sighed and looked down at the sand. "Kris," he said. I looked up at him and his blue eyes start to shine. My knees were about to give out and butterflies started to flutter in my stomach.
He leaned in and I close my eyes. We started to kiss and he pulls back. He let go of me and he starts to walk backwards. Then it was nothing, but darkness.

I wake up with a jolt and found myself on the dirt ground, outside of the caves. I rubbed my eyes and looked around. It was dawn and the sky was a mixture of gray and blue. Then I remember my dream.
I got up and raced back into the caves to find Jack staring at Boone. Boone looked very pale and on a closer look, I notice that his chest wasn't rising. I gasped and Jack looked up at me.
"Kristin…"
"No…"
He got up and stood in front of me. "He died while you were asleep. I'm sorry I didn't wake-,"
"Did he say what happen?"
"He was on this plane or something with John. I really don't know, but he kept mentioning a hatch…"
"Thanks."
I started to walk away and Jack stopped me. "Where are you going?"
"Back to the beach. I need to clear my head."
And with that, I ran out from the caves.
XXXXX
I didn't stop until I was back at the beach and I bent over to try to catch my breath. After I finally did, I looked up to find myself a good distance away from the camp. I looked back at the ocean and watched the waves come in.
Thoughts came and went through my mind and my dream kept coming back. 'Why?' I kept asking myself. 'I've now lost three men that meant so much to me. Why?'
My hands started to shake with anger and hot tears came down my cheek. "Why did you leave me?" I yelled to the ocean. "Why?"
I started to cry and had to sit down on the sand because my knees could barely hold me up. The sun was rising up and making everything around me a little brighter and I noticed that a group of people were forming down at the camp.
I slowly got up and my knees became a little shaky. Slowly, I walked towards the group and the closer I got, the more I could hear what was going on. "What a cute baby!" someone in the group called out.
Baby? I had forgotten that Claire was in labor last night.
I tried to push through the group and finally saw Claire, holding her baby. Charlie was grinning and Claire had the biggest smile on her face. I also noticed Jack was there and he was pale as ever.
Then Jacey caught my eye. I looked at her and she smiled at me. I tried to smile back, but more tears came down my cheeks.
It's not fair, but that's the circle of life. No matter how much I hate it, it's always going to happen.
Now, I must found out why this plane was so important to Locke and to why they kept this hatch a secret for so long.

AN: Yes! I'm finally done! I'm so sorry that it had taken me so long. You know what happens when school starts.
Did you guys like the season premiere? I certainly did! I can't wait for next week's episode.
Phoenix- Lol, yeah, Kristin was a one-person Ghost buster. Hmmm, I should watch that movie again soon, lol. This was one of the saddest and longest chapters I have written, but the writers were mean to write off Boone! Grrr! Yeah, I heard that a female cast member is going to get killed off. I have a bad feeling its going to be Sun.
Non-damsel- That's ok! I'm happy you reviewed chapter ten. Anyway, yeah, when I first saw "Do No Harm," I cried my eyes out and with this chapter, my eyes were becoming misty. I'm glad you think Kristin is cool! She's one of the best characters I've come up with in my head, lol. Thanks for reviewing!
Brooke-babe- I'm sorry you got scared in the last chapter! I also agree that chapter ten was quite creepy to write, especially at night. Thanks for reviewing!
Ella Ynrihan- Wow! A new reviewer! Thanks for reviewing my story.
Saraiyu- It is sad that Boone died, but at least he's still with her in spirit. Thanks for reviewing!
