Bo worked furiously on whatever knots she could reach. Kate, Jack, Sayid and Sawyer were soon free, but sat with their backs facing away from 'Zeke' and Locke so they didn't know.

Locke was muttering something to 'Zeke' and Bo took her chance to start undoing the ropes around her feet. She stood up and launched herself at Locke her hands round his throat so tightly he couldn't breathe. He fought desperately to get Bo off him, but Bo held him down grabbing the knives he had and chucking them to Kate, Sawyer Jack and Sayid.

"Cut the nets down!" She shouted at them just as Locke managed to throw her off.

Standing up she stared at him with clenched teeth, bright blue eyes flashing dangerously.

"I suppose you're totally sin free are Locke?" Bo shot at him hands curled into tight fists, ready to launch herself at him again. "Never mind the fact that you pretended to be one of us for the past two months!"

Locke smiled taking a step forwards.

"Bonnie, I didn't kill two people who I was supposed to love," Locke said.

Jack was having trouble fighting off some of the 'others' behind Locke, but Bo saw Kate and Sayid cutting the people in nets free and Sawyer led them to help fight the 'others' off.

"My parents didn't care about me!" Bo said. "I was an accident! They never meant to have me and they certainly didn't want my brother. They proved that by killing him!"

Locke frowned slightly and Bo stared at him confused.

"What?" She asked feeling slightly self-conscious.

Locke shook his head and began advancing on her. Bo held the knife up in front of her.

"I've done it once," she said threateningly. "I can easily do it again."

Bo was just about to prove exactly how daring she was but out of nowhere Sawyer launched himself and bowled Locke over.

"Run, Bo!" He cried wrestling with Locke. Bo ran. She freed the last of the net people except Charlie, Claire and Aaron.

"I'm leaving you there because Aaron will be safer, ok?" Bo said. Claire looked at her in disgust and clutched Aaron to herself tighter. Charlie looked at Bo like she was dirt but nodded.

Thoughts were rushing round her head like running water as she cut the remaining nets open.

Six-year-old Bo found her Mum crying and shouting at her Dad again. When she asked why they looked at her as if they'd never seen her before.

"Mummy's going to have another baby," he Mum cried angrily.

The next day at school they'd been asked to paint a picture of what made them sad. Bo had drawn her parents. When the teacher asked why Bo just shrugged. She knew it was more than her life was worth to tell her teacher the truth.

The fight between the 'Planies' and the 'others' had lasted a long time, but eventually the others were either lying, dead, in pools of blood or had fled into the jungle. There was no sign of 'Zeke' or Locke.

Bo was sat staring out to see. Despite the fact that she had cut herself in several places she hadn't been to see Jack.

Jack had enough to deal with, there were other survivors who needed tending to, though there were no major injuries, and Bo doubted whether Jack would be able to bring himself to touch her again. Not after what she'd done.

Kate came a joined her. They sat in companionable silence for some minutes before either spoke.

"No one's going to talk to me," Bo sighed. "And I wouldn't blame them."

"You're not the only one who's done wrong on the island Bo," Kate said soothingly. She chose not to say 'you're not the only murderer' as it sounded a bit harsh. "I killed my Dad, I don't suppose anyone will talk to me either."

"Jack and Sawyer will," Bo said. "They'll forgive you. But I was ten, Kate. What kind of ten year old kills their parents? A demented one… I'm probably a psycho…"

Kate chuckled slightly.

"We're probably all a bit demented," She said nudging Bo. "I mean, I saw a horse in eh jungle, several people have seen polar bears, we've all ended up running away from a monster made of smoke! I think the island is a test of our sanity more than anything."

"I hope you're right," Bo said. Jack wandered over followed by Sayid and Sawyer.

"Want me to take a look at those cuts?" Jack asked Bo. She looked at him.

"Umm, ok," she said. "Didn't think you'd want to after learning what I've done."

"Bright Eyes, there ain't a person on this island who ain't done bad at some point in their life," Sawyer said. "This is our fresh start. What's in the past is gone, we should all try looking to the future."

"That's very philosophical coming from the jerk that accused me of being a terrorist," Sayid said smiling to show there were no hard feelings. Sawyer rolled his eyes.

"I already told you I'm sorry," he said quietly.

"Maybe some people will take time to adjust to life again," Jack said. "But things will get better eventually."
