Jen

I stared at the fire thinking about what had happened two weeks ago. Eko, the man that I had thought was a survivor, had cut me down from the trap. He was trying to explain as fast as he could how I should leave the beach with the others survivors.

But to be careful that there was one that would prevent me from leaving, an Other. Whatever that was. And one that didn't belong that I had to keep a close eye on. The island didn't want him, he was a mistake.

I pushed the sand near my feet into a little hill. I was so confused, thinking it was a dream I never told anyone. I tried to block that information, I refused to believe we were stranded on an island with people that were probably cannibals.

That night when the Others cam Alex changed. Alex was one of them. One of the Others. I didn't get far before he knocked me out and dragged me into the forest.

I awoke in darkness, and panicked as I smelled the earth. Had I been buried alive?
I was relieved to find out I hadn't been buried when I realized I could see stars above me through something that looked like a window.. The walls were to high to jump and to smooth for me to crawl up them and escape.

I stepped on something and it groaned in protest. I jumped, and pressed myself against the wall.

"Do you like stepping on people?" growled Kellyn.

"Kellyn! Yay! I'm not alone!" I said and keeled next to her.

"Where are we?"

"In a hole of some sort, I'm not sure really." I said.

"Thomas?" she asked.

I sighed and said softly "I dunno, I haven't seen him. But I've only been awake for a minute or two. And its too dark to see in here. "

"HELLO? Anyone else in this dark hole?" said Kellyn loudly.

Seven voices answered Kellyn and I was shocked. Nine, nine were taken by the Others. What did they want from us? And what exactly were they.

"Jen." whispered Kellyn, "Look up someones there."

I looked up and noticed a figure in lightening sky. He opened up the window thing and threw a rope down.

"One of you can walk. The rest of you have to stay here." the figure said.

Kellyn shifted and I thought she was taking the offer. I grabbed her shoulder and she shrugged me off. I felt stupid thinking that she would have taken the offer. Someone near me shift and got up. He bumped me and mumbled sorry.

I watched him grab the rope and be pulled up. I wanted to scream stop but something held me off. I watched him walk away and the figure closed the top again. I was suddenly released from whatever had a hold of me and I groaned.

Kellyn was stiff, her head still watching the top. "Whats wrong K?" I asked

"When I was looking for you I stumbled upon another camp, I thought maybe it was the other survivors but I remember seeing Alex there. And they were doing something I couldn't quiet tell but I triggered a trap and had to run. They all started coming after me."she said.

"Alex is one of them. One of the Others. I figured that out when he dragged me off. And because Eko told me to beware of one of the 'survivors'." I said.

"Eko? Who's Eko?" Someone said in the group.

"Me."

Everyone looked up and I smiled, but couldn't help but think that maybe he was one of the Others. I prayed he was on our side. Another figure appeared beside him and it was just light enough to see that it was Thomas.

"Thomas!" cried Kellyn.

"shh, we don't want to draw their attention." Eko said. Opening the window.

He threw down a rope and Kellyn grabbed it first. She was pulled up and I followed her. He threw the rope down and another man came up. As he went to throw it down again he froze. I listened but didn't hear anything. He pulled the rope up with quick speed and closed the top.

"We have to leave now!"

"But the others. We can't leave them." I protested.

"There's no time, they are coming again." he said and started running off in another direction.

The ones that were left behind started to wail and I lingered, I couldn't let this happen. The last survivor that was pulled up stopped and looked behind him, he motioned for me to come on but I couldn't move. It wasn't fair.

He ran back for me and grabbed my arm. He pulled me along and I tried to resist. I couldn't let this happen. He pulled me so hard I tripped he let me go as I fell. When I went to get up he fell next to me an arrow in his throat and between his eyes.

I clenched my jaw and started crawling, I didn't go far before I was picked up by Eko. He brought me to my feet and motioned me forward. I ran seeing Thomas and Kellyn zig-zagging through the trees.

Suddenly the trees in front of me exploded and I fell to the ground again. I heard something mechanical clicking and scrambled away. I heard Eko scream don't move.

I stopped moving and shivered. The monster roared and I covered my ears. It was to close. I couldn't even see it, I felt so vulnerable.

Kellyn screamed and I saw Thomas being dragged away. We scrambled up and started running after him. I saw the ocean just beyond the tree line and wondered if there was a way we could move the invisible thing toward the cliffs. I turned away from the ocean and nearly collided into Kellyn.

I peered past Kellyn to see a gaping hole in the ground. She turned towards me, tears streaming down her face. "Why didn't you stop it?" she screamed at me, "He's dead because of this!"

I opened the door quietly and peered in, I clenched the gun tight in my hand and patted my pocket to make sure my knife was in there. Kellyn had screamed into the speaker phone saying Jason was coming after her. Soon after word the com went dead and I rushed in there.

I peered around corners of the house but didn't find anything. I went towards the kitchen but nothing was there. I went towards the living room and peered into there. Kellyn was standing up with a knife in her hand.

I walked next to her and saw Jason on the floor. He was beaten up badly and there was a few cuts on his face. I pulled the knife from her hand and led her out of the house. I motioned John, a police officer I know, inside the house and told him where Jason was.

"How do you feel Kellyn?" I said sitting on the curb.

"Sick."

"Yea that can happen, If you didn't want to do this you could have said so." I said

"I know. But I was tired of him stalking us. Stalking me. I found loads of stuff Jen, he was a sick guy."

"Now you know why we had to do it," I pulled an envelope from my jacket and handed it to her. "There's the money, plus the ticket to Australia."

"Did he tell you who he was Jen?"

I rose an eyebrow and shook my head. What was she talking abut?

"He was my brother. He ran off a few years ago. I didn't even recognize him until I saw the photos of our family. I killed my brother."

I sat their shocked, and my brain went numb. I was paid to kill her own brother instead I had shifted the job to her.

She grabbed it shakily and opened it. "Can we leave now?"

"Yea lets." I said and got up.
