A/N: STILL HAVE BEEN VERY, VERY BUSY AND I AM SOOO SORRY! So I will update! Right……………….now! Thanks to everybody who reviewed our Titanic story! It really helped!
Disclaimer: I DON'T OWN LOST! But Jennie is my creation…
I stepped back a few steps and brought my shaking hands up to my face.
What have I done?
"Jennie!" Jack roared outraged.
Sayid grabbed Jack's arm and held him back, shaking his head. I stared at Ethan's lifeless body on the ground; the rain was washing away all the blood from the ground. The Head would kill me for this! I took the side of the so called enemy.
I sank to my knees and began to cry, my sides heaving in and out. No one said anything, no one made a move. You could only hear the rain smacking the trees as it fell from the sky.
I couldn't go back now! I was stranded with the other survivors, at least until they discovered who I really was. Then what? I would be hunted down by two different sets of people.
I peeked through my hands and stared at Ethan, six bloody holes in his chest, his mouth open slightly.
"What have I done?" I asked quietly.
No one answered.
Soon the others left and went back to the camp, not one of them stayed with me. They probably figured it was best to leave me alone, but I desperately wanted someone to talk to. I was still looking at Ethan's corpse, pondering what the hell I had done.
"You know I was going to do that." Charlie's voice said from behind me.
I didn't turn around.
"Looks like I beat you to it." I whispered. "But Claire will respect you. Charlie you care so much about her, and I know you two belong together."
I heard him breathe in, and then out. Then I suddenly knew I needed to be on my own. I turned to Charlie.
"No one will want a murderer in this camp. Here, give this back to Sawyer." I handed him the gun.
"Where are you going?" He asked as I started to walk away.
I didn't answer and disappeared into the forest.
He didn't call back after me. I never expected him to. The Head probably already knew I had killed Ethan, so I needed a way to get off the island. I had seen Michael working on a kind of raft and believed I could help.
I gathered up some strong bark and some pieces of metal and such that had broken off the plane when it crashed. By the time daylight broke, I had enough supplies to build my own raft. I went back to the camp and saw Michael and Walt talking near the raft. Walt turned and walked off so I dropped off the stuff near Michael.
"I figure you might need this stuff."
Michael looked down at all the supplies and smiled.
"Yes it they all would be very helpful."
"Then just tell me what to do."
The rest of the day I spent working on the raft, I'd do anything to get off the island. Michael told me to take a break when it was nightfall and I reluctantly agreed. I went to my bag and sat down, staring out at the sea. I hadn't slept in two days, yet I didn't feel tired. I felt…blank.
I spark of orange and red caught my eye and I noticed the raft was on fire! I scrambled up from my towel and ran over to it.
"The raft's on fire!" I called.
Instantly people flew out of bed and ran to put the fire out. Michael was the most devastated and soon the fire could no longer be put out. Michael turned to Sun.
"Where is he?" Michael demanded.
"Michael we don't know for sure that Jin did this." Jack objected.
"Where the hell is he!" Michael yelled.
"Back off!" Kate retorted.
Sun turned and ran towards the caves.
"Sun wait!"
"I'm going to wring his damn neck!" Michael yelled.
"Everyone shut up!" I screamed.
Silence followed. Sun came back a few moments later, she looked upset. Sawyer decided he was going to go look for Jin.
"I'm coming with you." I said.
"To hell you are." He objected and started walking away.
"I'm going with to make sure you don't do something stupid."
He fumed and turned away stomping into the forest with me and his heels.
"What is it with you Sawyer? You're always mad at everybody." I asked while we were still searching for Jin.
"Well I don't think that's any of your damn business chica." He replied bitterly.
"See? There you go again. Always getting ticked off at somebody."
"Do you ever shut up?"
"No."
"Look, James, why don't you just speak up now." I used his real name to stop him, and it sure did.
"How'd you…?"
"I read it in the passenger manifest."
Sawyer grumbled something and kept walking. I sighed and followed him. We soon found Jin when daylight broke drinking water from the stream.
"You messed up my ride chief." Sawyer cursed and kicked Jin in the face.
"Sawyer!" I screeched checking to make sure Sawyer didn't break Jin's nose or something.
Sawyer pulled out some rope and tied up Jin's hands and brought him back to the beach. Michael punched Jin, who was most likely trying to give an excuse. After three punches Sun screamed;
"STOP IT! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
Everyone froze, and then Jack spoke up.
"You speak English?"
"Didn't see that someone coming." Hurley murmured.
"You…spoke English all this time…?"
"He did not start the fire! He burnt his hands trying to put it out!" Sun spit out angrily.
"How do we know she's not covering for him? From the look on his face, even your old man here didn't know you spoke English." Sawyer grumbled.
"He did not, do it." Sun repeated with tears in her eyes.
Everyone stared at her, and soon dispersed. I followed Michael back towards the raft where he cursed whoever had done it. Walt grimaced and Michael dropped the stick he had picked up.
"I'm sorry." He told him.
"It's ok." Walt replied.
"No…no. I'm sorry. I just lost my cool. But it's ok. We'll build another one." Michael said taking Walt's arm.
"You're going to build another one?"
"Yeah, a better one."
"Can I help?"
"No doubt you can help. Come on." Michael laughed and smiled proudly at his son.
Later as Michael and I were salvaging whatever we could find, Jin came up with new stacks of wood.
"Boat." He said.
I smiled and turned back to my work.
We were building another raft! Maybe I would get off this island after all!
A/N: Ok so you all know Jennie's getting on the raft and some of you are probably like 'the raft's only built for 4' well in this case it will be 5. I'll try and update soon!
R&R!
