Wahoo! I'm getting my reviewers back! Thank you all for the reviews!

They had been following the horse for a while when Jack tugged on Kate's arm, and turned her to face him. "Kate," he said as he took a couple big breaths of air. "Why are we following this horse?"
Kate looked down. "I know this sounds… crazy, but I have a feeling..." she said.
"A feeling?" Jack quoted. "What kind of a feeling?"
"I think he can lead us to Emma." She said. "That horse knows her, I know he does!"
"How do you know it's a he?" Charlie asked.
Kate glanced over at him, then looked back at Jack.
"Ok," he said as he let her go. "We better go, he's hurrying away."
Kate nodded and began to run after the horse.

Emma opened her eyes tiredly, she didn't hear or see the man that had taken her, but she didn't want to either. She sat up and rested her head against the tree, she didn't even remember falling asleep, she looked down at her arm, it must have swollen because it was bigger then it ever had been. The bruises were beginning to turn dark blue. She sighed and placed her unhurt arm on the tree and lifted herself up, every muscle in her body ached, she wanted to be home, not her real home, her new home on the island.
She slowly began to walk back where she had come from, she held onto the trees for support. She began to get tired again, she wanted to lay down and sleep forever, but she wouldn't let herself do it. She had to get to the beach. But five minutes later, she fell next to a tree, and slowly began to drift off…

Jack moved the branches as Kate and Charlie walked under them, they had lost track of the horse, but they continued to follow his or her trail. Jack secretly wanted to go back, but he wasn't going to leave Kate out here all by herself, Emma had been missing before, they had searched and searched for her, but after a week, they all gave up. But he wasn't going to do it this time. Not this time…
Kate wasn't about to give up either, but she had a bad feeling, she had a feeling that Emma had gotten taken again. But she also had a feeling that the horse could lead them to her, so she stuck with the horse feeling, she wasn't about to give up on Emma yet…
Charlie's knees were aching, probably because he didn't work out as much as he should have, not to mention he had tripped over some vines a few times and smashed them against rocks. The only reason he wanted to go back to the camp right now was because he wanted to make sure Aaron and Claire were safe. Aaron had been growing so much, he had said his first words. 'Ma-ma'.

Emma woke up to a strange noise, at first she thought it was the man trying to find her again, but it wasn't, it was what everyone thought it as 'the monster'. She sat up against the tree, something was coming closer to her, she remained perfectly silent, and waited for it to pass, but instead of passing, it turned around and ran to other way. She let out a sigh of relief and slowly got to her feet and continued to make her way back to the beach.
But not long after, it began to rain really hard, and it made it a lot harder to walk across the rocks, she had slipped a few times because they were to slippery. She tried to be careful, but ended up scraping up her leg really bad, she could tell that it was bleeding, but that wasn't what was bothering her, it was her head, her head felt like someone had hammered a thousand nails into her forehead.
She promised herself that she wouldn't fall asleep, it was one of the hardest things she had ever done in her life, staying awake. But she was back on the beach before long, now she only had to walk about a half of a mile to the camp, she didn't feel like she could even take another step…

Kate, not having her jacket along with her, began to shiver as the rain poured, she tried to hide it, but she was freeing.
"Kate, let's go back." Jack said, he didn't want to hear himself saying it, but he knew that there was no point of them getting sick and not being able to even try and look for Emma.
Kate turned to Jack, she knew he was right. "Jack, I can't…"
"Kate, the rain washed away all of the prints, we aren't going to be able to find them again." Jack said.
Kate looked down.
"Why don't we wait over there for the rain to stop, then we'll make are way back…" Charlie said as he pointed to a bunch of trees, that made perfect shelter.
Jack nodded. "Okay," he said. "Is that alright Kate?"
"Yeah," she muttered as she slowly began to walk towards it…

Sorry if I make Jack seem a little mean, I'm just trying to make him sound protective, but I feel like I'm making him mean… So, anyways, sorry!
