Last time on 'Someone they never knew'.

Kate was shocked, she turned to Jack and she knew he was as shocked as she was, what kind of person would ever do that? "How long were you down there?" Kate asked.

The girl took a deep breath. "Four years."

This time…

----

Kate gasped and Jack raised an eyebrow. "You're joking right?" he asked.

The girl didn't seem to mind that Jack didn't take her seriously. "No, I'm not."

Kate felt a tear escape her eye, she quickly wiped it away, four years? Alone? "I'm sorry," Kate said as she patted the girl's shoulder. "I'm really sorry honey."

The girl nodded. "It's fine, it's all right." She said with a small smile.

Locke walked back to the room with a glass of juice; he looked around at the sad faces. "Did I miss something?" he walked over to Jack and handed him the juice. "Hey," he said as he turned to the girl. "What's your name?" he crossed his arms.

"Abigail," she said as she turned to him. "But call me Abby."

"How old are you Abby?" Kate asked.

"Twelve," Abby answered. "48 days ago."

Kate nodded. "How'd you get to this island?" she asked, it was one of the first question that ever entered her mind when she had seen her in that small room.

Abby froze, and thought back to that day... .

"Dad, this is Great!" Abby said, she was about eight years old, her black curly hair came to her shoulders, she had a huge smile plastered to her face. Just then it hit her, she turned on her microphone. "Dad, this is great!" she said into the headset.

Her father turned to look at her, he smiled back. "I'm glad you're enjoying this Abigail, for a long time you wouldn't step near a plane." He said.

Abby looked down at the ground hundreds of feet below her, they were flying over the ocean in Abby's dad's private plane he had bought, he lessons to teach people to fly. "Well, after what happened you didn't expect me to jump right in a plane did you?" she said, a little rudely.

"I'm sorry…" her said as he turned his attention back to sky. "It's nice up here though."

Abby nodded. "It sure is! It's wonderful! I feel like a bird or something!"

Her dad laughed. "I know what you mean, the first time I was up here with my dad… it was wonderful."

"What's that dad?" Abby asked as she pointed to a big black 'thing' of smoke that was coming right at them.

Her dad turned to the right, his eyes grew wide with fear. "I have no idea!" he shouted, it got closer, and it made a horrible noise. Abby covered her ears. "ABIGAIL! WATCH OUT!"

"Abby?" Jack asked a little concerned, she seemed to be a million miles away. "Abby?"

Abby blinked. "Sorry," she said as she cleared her throat. "Just a bit tired, I'm not really sure what happened." She didn't feel like telling them that a 'Black smoke monster' attacked them, it sounded just a bit crazy.

Jack and Kate exchanged glances.

"You know Abby, we've seen a lot on this island, monsters, polar bears, no one's going to think it's crazy." Locke said.

Abby froze, he had just read her mind, she quickly turned and stared at him. "How did you know?" she asked.

Locke shrugged. "I don't know, I had a feeling I guess."

Abby looked down. "I- I... I was on a plane with my dad... private airplane, we- we were just going for a ride... I saw something..." she looked up at Kate, Jack and Locke who were all staring at her. "A monster, it was... black smoke, it came right at us, hit the plane, we slowly began to fall... we landed on this island..." she wiped a tear away.

Kate blinked slowly. "What happened to your dad?" she asked gently.

Abby held her breath.

Abby screamed as they soared through the air, they were falling... falling... she spotted an island. "DAD!" She screamed on the top of her lungs, the island seemed to 'appear' out of nowhere. Abby turned to her dad, his head rested on the controllers. "Dad?" she asked nervously, she crawled over to him, there was blood everywhere. "DAD!"

There was a big 'Thud' and the whole plane shook, they had landed. Abby started to cry. "DAD! Dad wake up now! Don't leave me like this! Come on dad!" she sobbed.

But her dad didn't reply. She turned him over and froze, blood was all over his chest, Abby covered her mouth with her hand. "Dad?" she shook her head. "No, no, no!" she sobbed, she fell to her knees and sobbed.

"Abby?" Jack asked.

Abby burst into tears. "He died... HE DIED!" she sobbed. "He-he was covered in b-b-blood." she was having trouble breathing.

Kate put her arm around Abby's shoulder. "Shh..." she said in a soothing voice. "It's okay, it's all right..."

Abby shook her head. "No it isn't, and it's never going to be! It hasn't for the past FOUR years!"

Locke rubbed his bald forehead. "I'm sorry Abby."

Jack didn't know what to say, he had seen what the monster had done to the pilot, if her dad was even half as covered in blood as he was...

"I'm sorry," Abby said as she wiped away her tears. "I-I didn't mean-"

"No, it's fine," Kate said as she ran her fingers through Abby's hair. "It doesn't matter."

"I don't usually cry." she wiped away her tears.

"Abby, what happened next?"

Jack looked over at Locke gave him a disapproving look.

Abby looked up at him. "You mean how I got here?" she asked as she looked around. Locke nodded. "A few days after... we crashed, I began to explore this island a bit, it seemed like a whole new world... I liked it at first... but then it got scary, I found a door to this place, and came in, a man was here... Patrick, you know the rest after that." she said as she sighed. "What are you doing on this island? How'd you get here?"

"Plane crash." Kate said. "Along with other survivors."

Abby nodded. "How long have you been here?" she asked.

"About fifty days," Jack replied.

"Oh,"

"You need to get some rest," Jack said as he stood up. "I'll check on you later."

Abby smiled. "Thank you."

Jack nodded and walked out of the room with Locke right after him.

"Well... don't let the bedbugs bite." Kate said, and then walked out of the room.

Abby smiled, then fell asleep.

So, how was it?
