Voices

Taylor and Christy were walking along the path to the caves. They had been walking around the jungle all day, mainly tittering about the wedding. The two women had found various flowers that Taylor thought were possible candidates for wedding bouquets. So the day hadn't been a total waste.

Now they were just chatting about everything on a quiet walk to see Aaron, who said he would be at the caves helping his mom with something.

"I'm so excited Christy! I mean…I'm getting married. I'm going to spend the rest of my life Aaron Pace." Taylor said dreamily.

"I know! I'm so happy for you. You two really are good for each other." Christy complimented.

Their conversation kind of dwindled from there. They girls couldn't help but hear the heavy breathing behind them. Well, it wasn't directly behind them like someone was following them but the sound was loud enough for them to hear.

"Taylor? Please tell me you hear that." Christy said in a quiet whisper.

"I do." Taylor whispered back. The two's walking slowly halted. Neither one of them wanted to turn around and see what was there, behind them, but they knew they had to. They grasped each other's hands and turned slowly as not to scare what or who ever it was.

Nothing was there. Taylor and Christy stood for a second trying to figure out what in god's name is going on. Taylor's eyes darted from one tree to the next trying to determine if someone was indeed there. But she heard and saw nothing. The silence was almost deafening. The wind blew through the trees and whipped their hair around but something more could be heard. Very faintly but it sounded like voices. Taylor strained to hear but soon found it futile because the voices were getting louder.

Christy squeezed her hand and asked if she heard what she heard. Taylor could only nod. She listened.

She couldn't hear any one thing someone was saying but she could make out fragments. The chorus of men's, women's, and children's voices surrounded them and Taylor dared not move. She just stood perfectly still.

"Should we hide?"

"SHH!"

"Who are they?"

"NO!"

"Stop, we don't know!"

"HIDE ME!"

What had started out as whispers grew into speaking voices, then to yelling, and almost screaming. The girls didn't know what to do. What could they do? Who was out there? What did they want? What were they saying? So many questions filled Taylor's mind and it was suddenly hazed. She couldn't think right.

She felt Christy tug on her sleeve and she turned around and ran. She had to get away from the voices. She feared she was going insane for a moment. But as soon as they moved the voices disappeared. Silence was all around them once again. Just the sound of birds and Taylor's and Christy's heavy breathing.

They ran the rest of the way to the caves. They didn't want the voices to come back. The wiped branches and leaves out of their way…the only thing they could think of was getting away. Getting to the caves where they would be safe.

Christy, who was in front of Taylor stumbled into camp first, followed by the doctor in training. They both were out of breath and wet with sweat. They must have been running for ten minutes at full speed, Taylor thought.

Christy could feel the burning sensation of eyes on her. She turned around to see half the camp staring at them, including Jack, Casey, Claire and Aaron. She turned back to Taylor and made a face like 'oh, my, god'.

"I won!" Christy said excitedly. She winked at Taylor who held a strange expression on her face. "I beat you. I told you I could run faster." Taylor's face relaxed when she figured out what her friend was doing.

"Yeah, you did. I really didn't believe you could run that fast." Taylor gave her a pat on the back. It was a nice save on Christy's part she thought. She walked into camp further and sat down next to Aaron, who asked nothing of what was going on…just gave her a glare.

Taylor decided not to tell anyone about the voices. She was sure Christy and her were crazy. But then again, how could they both be crazy and hear the same thing? Why did they hear the voices? The sanest people on the island were going insane. New questions surfaced in Taylor's mind. She looked back at Christy who was sitting alone with a bewildered but concentrated look on her face and Taylor knew she was thinking the same things.
