Chapter 3: Troubles

'Oh God!' Alexa thought as her head hit the ground, and pain blazed through it.

Jack had told her the other day, 'It's safe to take the gauze off, but don't hit your head too hard on anything.'

She wondered if it was bleeding, but didn't have the courage to check. Sitting up, she looked around for Charlie. She saw the plastic baggy Charlie had, there was something brown and powdery in it. There was only one thing that could compare to that, drugs, it had to be. Just then Charlie stooped down and picked up his baggy, and ran off.

Alexa didn't want the monster to come after her again so she sat still, waiting for Charlie to come back. She was afraid to be alone, out in the jungle where God knows what could happen. Finally, Charlie reappeared and walked over to her. A tree dropped a few feet in front of them, making them both hold their breath.

"Come on, we better be getting back to camp." He said, helping her up.

"Thanks," Alexa replied, she noticed his eyes were bloodshot. As he helped her up, she felt a little dizzy.

Charlie then gave her a weird look.

"We've got to get you to Jack." He asked worriedly.

Once they were to the edge of the trees, Charlie started to pick up his pace, dragging her behind him.

"Please! Slow down, please!" Alexa said, the world was spinning around her.

He glanced at her, and kept going at the rate. Then he started running, her head throbbed even more. Charlie must have not been watching where he was going, for he ran into Sawyer.

"Whoa, there rock-god, where ya goin'?" Sawyer asked suspiciously. Then he looked at Alexa. " Looks like you need to get to the doc."

"No, she's just bloody bleeding for the hell of it!" Charlie snapped back.

"Hey, I was just making a point!" Sawyer screamed back.

"Thanks for pointing that out, you bloody ponce!" Charlie and Sawyer started to argue.

Alexa was trying to focus on what everyone was saying, but there voices were slurring together and sounded like they were in slow motion. Everything was spinning, blurring, then it all went black.

'Is she going to be ok, Jack?'

Those were the first words that Alexa heard, as she was recovering from unconsciousness.

"Yeah, she should be waking up any…"Jack's voice trailed off as Alexa's eyes popped open, and she slowly sat up.

"You ok?" The woman who was standing beside Jack asked.

Alexa nodded and rubbed her head, there was the gauze on her head, once again.

"Gauze…" She groaned.

"Yeah, lets hope that this will be the last time you need that." He said, chuckling.

"Excuse me, doctor?" A man said entering the tent. "I have this weird rash, would you come look at it... again?"

"Sure," Jack said, rolling his eyes. "Kate watch her for a moment."

"Ok." Kate told him, as he walked out of the tent.

"How long was I out for?" Alexa asked, groggily.

"A little over two hours." Kate said.

" Two hours..." Alexa repeated. "Is Charlie ok?"

"He has a few scrapes, but he's fine, just a little shaken up." Kate said.

Alexa opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by someone yelling 'Jack' outside. Kate helped her up and they hurried outside to see a very pregnant woman being carried by Charlie and a larger man named Hurley.

"Get her in the tent, out of the sun." Jack ordered.

Alexa's knees began to shake, she could feel them giving in, she leaned on Kate for support.

"And you," She looked up at Jack. "Go on, get back in there all we need is you passing out again."

Later, Jack said she could go, so she told Kate goodbye and walked out of the medical tent. Seeing Charlie, she walked over to him a sat down beside him, hugging her knees.

"Ah, see your feeling better." He said, smiling.

"Yeah," She sighed. " That was very sweet, what you did for Claire."

"Oh it was nothing, just doing something nice." He said, blushing.

"Have you seen Jack?" Kate's voice flowed from behind them.

They turned around and looked at her, confused.

"Well?" She repeated impatiently.

"No haven't seen him." Charlie replied.

"Been here with Charlie the whole time." Alexa said.

Kate sighed and ran off, yelling 'Jack'.

"Wonder where he could be." Charlie said looking at her.

" No clue." She said shrugging.

Hours later the sun had gone down and the fires were glowing, there was still know sign of Jack. Everyone was looking like children, lost from there parents.

"You had the bloody water?" An outraged voice echoed.

"I was just doing what was right. Jack's gone missing, someone had to take control of the situation!" An man voice yelled back. Everyone rushed over to see what was going on.

"You bloody ponce." Charlie yelled, drawing his fist back.

"CHARLIE STOP IT!" Alexa yelled, but not in time, Charlie's fist hit Boone's face making him collapse to the ground.

"BOONE!" Shannon screamed and began torace over to him, before she got to him, Boone jumped to his feet andlunged back at Charlie with full force, both of them rolled on the ground fighting.

"Guys," Alexa said, trying to pull them apart. "Come on! Stop it!" She let out ayelp as she was pulled down, by her hair, into the chaos. She felt herself being pulled up by strong arms.

"Let them settle this among themselves." Sayid told her calmly.

"Yeah, Concussion, they'll work it out soon enough." Sawyer said.

"Stop!" A familiar voice said. Everyone looked up, even Boone and Charlie.

"Jack…" Kate stuttered.

"Listen everyone, we found water and caves…" Jack began.

Over the next few days, everything seemed to be looking up, Claire finally moved into the caves, Charlie threw his drugs in the fire, and everyone seemed to be a lot happier, that is until Claire started have nightmares. They weren't any ordinary nightmares, they were night tremors, horrible dreams you can wake yourself out of. Claire's were violent, she kicked and screamed at anyone who would touch her, even Charlie.

"It's not safe here." Claire said, after about a week of the tremors. " I have to leave these caves"

"Claire stay, I'll protect you, nothing will hurt you, or the baby." Charlie said, grabbing her hand.

"I have to leave, I have to leave." She repeated, pulling away from Charlie's grasp and walked out of the caves. Alexa watched Charlie run after her, hopelessly.

About a hour later Hurley came into the caves yelling about the manifest.

"Where's Ethan?" Jack called.

"Dude, I don't know!" Hurley screamed.

"Where's Charlie?" Jack yelled, panicking. "Where is he?"
