Ana didn't know what to do with a sobbing girl hugging her. "Hey, shh… it's all right." She said.
Emma continued to sob.
Libby could already tell that Emma had been through a lot.
Sawyer walked slowly over. "What the hell happened?" he asked.
Libby looked up. "You should be resting," she said.
"What happened?" he repeated.
Eko stood up. "The others came for her,"
Sawyer walked a little closer. "For Emma? Is she all right?"
"She your kid?" Cindy asked as she walked over.
"Hell no!" he said.
"Then why are you so worried about her?" Cindy asked.
"'Cause I promised a friend I'd take care of her, miss nosey." Sawyer said. "Is she alright?"
"She's fine," Libby said. "She has a cut on her head. But she should be fine,"
"Then what the hell is she cryin over?"
Libby walked closer. "She was just chased by those people, grabbed by those people, it probably has something to do with her past, and all the memories are coming back…"
"I forgot you were a shrink," he muttered.
Emma stopped crying and pulled away from Ana, very embarrassed.
"Are you ok?" Ana asked.
Emma nodded slowly as she wiped away her tears.
"Come on, let's go clean that cut," Libby said.
Emma shook her head.
"Emma, let them clean your damn cut," Sawyer said.
Emma looked up at him, and sniffed.
"Come on," Sawyer said as he held out his hand.
Emma hesitated, then stood up and took it, and followed him back to camp.

The next morning…
Sawyer was having a hard time walking, Emma thought that Libby was really concerned.
Emma stayed a couple of feet behind slow Sawyer, everyone else was ahead.
Suddenly Sawyer collapsed.
"SAWYER!" Emma shouted as she ran to his side.
Michael turned around. "Hey, hey, Sawyer, you ok?"
"Take good care of doll face, promised freckles…" Sawyer muttered.
"Hey man, Sawyer!" Michael shouted.
"Water, water!" Jin shouted.
"Here you go, here," she said as she removed it from around her neck and and handed it to him.
"Sawyer?" Emma asked.
Sawyer's eyes closed.
Emma shook her head, this was NOT happening! "W-what's the matter with him?" she asked.
"Well, the fever, he's got an infection and he's dehydrated." Libby answered.
"We gotta keep moving!" Ana said.
"What?" Emma shouted.
"We gotta go!" Ana said.
"No!" Emma shouted.
"You want to stay, that's fine, we're rolling out," Ana said.
"We can't just leave him Ana," Bernard said.
"Maybe if we just wait he'll regain consciousness." Libby said.
"Ana's right, maybe we should just push on," Cindy said.
"Mr. Eko, can you help me make a stretcher? And Bernard, I need 4 sticks; sturdy ones, about 5 feet long." Michael said.
"Yeah, got it," Bernard said as he ran away.
"What can I do?" Emma asked.
Michael looked at her. "You can try and make him drink some water,"
Emma nodded and picked up the canteen.
"You're going to carry your friend." Ana said.
"Yeah, we're going to carry him,"

They carried Sawyer through the jungle over a mountain, and every place they had to go, Emma stayed right by his side.
As soon as they got to the top of one mountain Ana looked around. "Cindy? Where's Cindy?"
"She was just here…" Emma said quietly.
"CINDY?" Ana shouted.
"Did they take her?" Libby asked.
Emma looked up, the others were back.
"I'm going after her," Ana said as she began to walk away.
"No, we stay together, we split up, we give them what they want." Eko said.
"This is all your fault. We never should have gone through the jungle. You risked our lives to save him and he's already dead. This one's on you."
Emma jumped to the sound of mysterious whispering.
"What the hell is that?" Michael asked.
Ana drew the gun out.
"Oh god!" Libby said.
"RUN!" Ana shouted.
Thy did run, Michael and Jin quickly picked up the stretcher and ran.
Emma was right behind them, but suddenly stopped, everything was bleary, she squeezed her eyes shut, and opened them again, it was clear, she shook the thought off of her mind and began to run again.
Out of nowhere, she heard a gunshot, Emma's mouth dropped open, she ran faster to see what had happened, she ran past Ana and saw it.
Sayid! He was holding Shannon is his arms, blood ran down from Shannon's stomach. She looked over at Ana who held the gun.

So? How was it? And what's up with Emma seeing everything bleary? You'll find out soon!
