Lets get the show back on the road! And see how far I can get before J.J. Abrams reveals all his secrets. Highly doubt he will just yet but you never know. I"m sorry for the long wait, the drive that held all my stories died and wouldn't let me access anything at all. Darn drive. Plus I was thinking Chapter 8 was haunted only because I could never get past it, the power would go out, my brand new computer would crash, or the drive like I mentioned before dies. So here is the long awaited chapter. Enjoy!

Thomas

I woke up to a loud hissing noise, I groaned, it was still dark. I moved slightly and blood rushed to my head. I hissed, and noticed a light through the tress. I stood up shakily and staggered forward. I was close to the beach! How did I get here? Did I imagine everything?

I took a step forwards towards the fire and froze as I heard the sound. That sickening roar that took me away earlier today. I tree behind me was pulled out and dirt sprayed my back. This time I ran, I ran straight towards the fire.

Jen

The shadow ended up being a man named Thomas. I half hoped maybe I wasn't the only one stuck up in a tree but he explained that he ran after Kellyn. What did he want with her? I thought.

None of us could really sleep, so most of us just stared at the fire. To afraid to speak. When morning rose I stretched and felt a pang in my leg I looked down to see the large scratch bleeding again.

It was really early in the morning and I noticed I was the only one up. I tipped toed around the sleepy bodies to the half plane. I needed to find my bag.

I opened the front door to my parents house and tried to escape into my room unnoticed.

"Hello!" my dad called from his work office "Where have you been?"

"Out. With Kellyn." I said and ran upstairs into my room.

I set the sack down. Another dagger to add to my collection of knick knacks plus my renewed passport underneath the receipt. My room wasn't very big, but it suited my needs. I went to the desk near my laptop and hit the side of it. The small secret drawer popped opened and I checked to make sure the tickets were still inside. I barely closed it when my mother came through my door.

"Jen, Jason called again. He says he needs to speak to you before you go to the theater."

"Mom, No. I told you what he does, I'm not going out with him again." I said, my back to her.

"Why can't you give him a chance? He's a nice boy."

"No he's not! Get out of my room!" I yelled.

She gave me a cold look. "Just because he hit you once doesn't mean he's evil."

I clenched my jaw and she slammed my door. I remember that day to well. I was at Kellyn's house after a bad fight between my mother and father. He had come over and beat me in front of her saying i should be going to him not to Kellyn.

I turned on my laptop and got online. Kellyn was on there waiting and I typed.

Tonight. We do it.

I went into the plane, and noticed some bodies still strapped in their seats. We had bury them soon I thought. But first get any supplied that we might need.

I opened up compartments to find most of them empty. As I got to where Kellyn and I sat I noticed my bag wasn't in the compartment at all. I searched the seats to find it jammed underneath a seat.

It was open, but nothing was in it. I clutched my bag and walked to the lavatory.

"Jen. You have to come see this."

I whipped around and Kellyn stood there waiting. I followed her and she pointed at the ocean. Bodies were floating in. I stood there not believing it. People around me dropped to their knees and the weeping started anew.

I saw one of the bodies twitch. Wait, twitch? No swimming! I shoved my bag into Kellyn's face and ran to the ocean. It was up to my waist before I reached the swimmer, she grabbed me and I slipped falling into the water. My head went under briefly and I felt her push against me. I slipped just a bit further and my feet stopped touching sand.

I panicked, what the hell was I thinking? I couldn't swim. I shot upwards and gasped for air. A huge wave hit me and carried me to the sand and I was grateful it didn't take me out farther.

I gasped, feeling suddenly drained of all energy. I turned my head and jolted back seeing a dead body there. His eyes gone. I jumped up and backed away. The swimmer was already up and some people crowded her.

"My name," she gasped, "is Ann Lucia Cortez. Now get out of my way."

I gasped and walked towards Kellyn. As I stood next to her and watched Ann push past people I mumbled "And I'm just fine. No no problem, I always save peoples lives."

Kellyn jabbed me in the ribs and smiled. Ann sat in the sand near the forest and glared at us all. I shook my head and turned to Kellyn "So what happened to Thomas? You guys like a couple or something? Did he explain why he was attracted to you?"

She threw my bag at me and I caught it laughing. "NO! Well he is cute...but thats besides the point! He said he felt like he should follow me. Thats all. Nothing at all."

"Oh well. I hate to break it to you oh mighty leader but we have no food and I'm starving." I said

We walked past Thomas who was sitting next to the plane. "Hey, where you going?"

I tensed up and looked him up and down. "Down boy." Kellyn punched my shoulder and started talking to Thomas.

I looked at the forest and had the eeire sensation that someone was watching me. I scanned the forest line. "Ke-" I started.

"Jen, Thomas and I have decided to go into the forest and see what we can get."

I looked at the both of them then back at the forest but the sensation was gone. "Okay. well...I've had enough of the forest for awhile. I'll stay here and think of something creative to do."

I eyed the plane and grinned, Kellyn shook her head and pulled Thomas along. She mumbled that I had my evil eye and that I was going to tear things down to make something. Now if only I had something to rip it apart with.

I was about to begin when and older man came up to me. He looked stressed out, but who here wasn't? He also looked very tired looking and was shaking slightly.

"My wife...have you seen my wife. Her name is Rose."

I looked at him sadly and shook my head. "I'm sorry...I haven't. Can I help you find her? I'm sure she's just fine."

He looked like he was going to bawl in front of me then he straightened up. "Your right, she's fine."

I watched him leave trying to figure out what to do. I looked back at the metal and a thought of making spikes came to me. We had to protect ourselves.

"Hey, where are they going?"

I turned to see Ann staring at me angrily. "Well theres this thing called food and..."

She shoved me towards the plane, my head hit it hard and I was blinded by pain temporarily. "Don't ever treat me like that." she yelled.

I held my ground and glared at her. "Lighten up, I did save you from the water."

"I could have saved myself. So back off."

"And let me tell you, you were doing a great job of saving yourself!" I yelled.

Ann raised her fist as to punch me and I just watched her waiting for my moment. I ducked as her hand swooshed past my head and into the side of the plane. I laughed at her as I stood just far enough away from her in case she wanted to punch me again.

"Don't try that again. Do something useful and leave me alone before you really regret it." I said and walked off toward the rockier piece of the beach. I watched the water when I saw something shiny flash in the water. I bent down to get a closer look. FISH!

I kicked myself for not thinking of going to the ocean for food. I started running back to the plane when I realized that we had nothing to catch the fish. I picked up a rock thinking that maybe I could pound off pieces of metal from the plane.

The progress was slow but I did get one piece off the plane that was sharp enough to pierce something. As the metal curled from my pounding I was interrupted.

"Um.."

"Ann I told-oh...your not Ann." I said turning around

"No, Libby actually. I was wondering if maybe you needed help. I can't sit and do nothing. It drives me nuts and I can hear...I don't like it."

I raised an eyebrow. Libby was tall with straw like blond hair and looked as if she had seen a ghost literally. "I um...you can...eh...why don't you get me some nice long sticks from the forest."

She paled more if that was possible and I bit my lip. "Or eh...you can..salvage clothing from the plane maybe? So we can tie the metal to branches. To help us collect food."

She stood there and for a moment I thought maybe she had died on the spot. Then she climbed into the plane and I hear her rustle about. After Libby had come up to me it seemed almost all the survivors came up to me. Except of course Ann.

I assigned them jobs the best I could, it felt awkward. This is just wrong I thought. Nobody should have died. As I was pulling and twisting the metal on the opening of the plane I was lost in thought.

We can't survive like this for to long. What was the weather like here or what about food? I kept thinking. And the other side of the plane what happened to it? Did some of them survive or are we the only ones? I let the scary horrible thoughts the plane going down take over me and I felt like we were being watched again. I slipped cutting my hand.

"Crap." I said pulling away and squeezing my palm letting the blood well up and trail over my hand.

"Thats a nasty cut. Here let me help you." A guy said behind me.

The hairs on my neck rose and I side stepped him. "No, I have it thank you. Sorry you scared me."

I looked up to see his blue eyes watch me closely. His blond hair was wavy and disheveled. He was slouched over as he watched me and I smiled at him. "Truly I'm fine you can look away now."

"Well...maybe I can help? The names Alex by the way." he said, his voice soft. I felt something inside me well up. I couldn't fall for him I thought. No, I was scared of him.

"Eh why not finish what I was doing? And my name is Jen." I said and walked off to the ocean.

I bent low and started washing my hand in the water. It stung smartly and I rubbed it. Soon the cold of the water numbed it enough to stop the bleeding. Luckily it wasn't very deep. And it'd heal in a few days.

I stood up and it started raining hard. I opened my mouth to the very welcomed refreshment. If only there was a way we could collect it. I turned and looked at the plane to see that Alex had what looked like a coffee pot in his hand collecting rain.

I smiled, at least he thought of the same thing. He looked at me steadily and I smiled at him. But he just watched me, the hair rose on my neck again and I stepped back. What was it with him?

"Jen in order to catch this guy we need bait. We can't use you because he knows you to well and might catch on to something."

I stared at my boss and nodded. "I have a suggestion on who we could use. But that means I have to tell her what I do." I said.

He stared at me. "No out of the question that puts her in danger."

"She's in danger when she's just around me anyways!" I yelled.

"Stop it, your out of line. We don't go blabbing around who you are and neither should you." He said, nostrils flaring.

I bent my head down and shook it, I'd have to tell him anyways. "I have to do this, he's a danger to everyone. Let me tell her and let us catch him. If it gets bad I'll take her away I promise. I'll make her disappear if I must. Just let me do this."

He stared at me with gray eyes. Let this work I prayed. "Fine tell her. But you will bring back up when you do it. Understand?"

"Yes sir."
