Chapter4
'I remember her! I actually remember!' Claire was happy to remember the woman's face, but still, she couldn't place it. Everyone stared at her. Charlie dropped the unconscious woman on the floor. When she connected with the ground, Charlie snapped out of his
daydream. He looked at the woman on the floor and then to Jack.
'Oh, bullocks, um…' He picked her up again, but this time Jack took her from his arms.
'Sorry', he mumbled.
He turned his attention back to Claire. 'You mean to say, that you actually remember something….well that is, other than the imaginary Peanut Butter.'
She smiled and nodded her head.
'Why, that's great, Love!' Charlie exclaimed, putting his hands on her shoulders.
Everyone's attention was on Charlie and Claire now. They all wanted to know what the
Australian woman was going to say to the ex-rocker.
'Yea, but,' Claire didn't know how to say this, how to shatter everyone's hope.
'I think she's one of them.' She said this with uncertainty, not sure what to make out of this familiar stranger.
'You...but, why's she here then? She wouldn't travel on her own would she?' Jack didn't know. How could she be one of them?
'I don't remember her from the boat. She don't look like no hillbilly to me, doc.' Everyone was speaking at the same time now. Claire handed Aaron to Sun, to hold him for some time.
'How do we even know she's one of them?' Sayid asked.
'Cause Claire said so! I…'
'Charlie, I said I think she's one of them, I didn't say she is. I just recognise her. And I know this for sure, I saw her on the island…'
'Maybe she's one of the tail section passengers.' Jack said
'Present!' Ana-Lucia called from the crowd putting up her hand.
'She's certainly not one of us! I would've known if she was.'
'Claire, do you remember anything else, anything…'Jack was curious about the girl's sudden remembrance.
Claire hated to be the centre of attention and wished everyone would stop gawping at her and turn they're attention back to the woman, who was still lying unconscious in Jack's arms.
'Yea, umm, bits and pieces. I…' Suddenly it was as if a light went up.
Claire pointed to the woman.
'Yea, she's defiantly one of them! I remember her, 'cause she helped me escape!'
