Kate had found a deck of cards in a small cabinet, she began to show Abby how to play speed. Abby was a very fast learner. Abby piled all her cards in her hand down onto the pile. "SPEED!" She shouted happily. Kate sighed and rubbed her head.
"That's the third time you beat me!" Kate said, glaring playfully at Abby.
Abby smiled and shuffled the cards. "Thank you Kate, this is fun, I missed having fun…" she said, she stacked the cards and placed them back onto the table. "You said there was other survivors… can I meet them?"
"What? I'm not good enough for you?" Kate asked, pretending to feel hurt.
Abby smiled. "No, you're great, I just haven't been outside in a while… ya know?"
Kate smiled. "Sure, wanna go now?"
Abby nodded.

They walked towards the beach, Kate was holding Abby's hand, they both had smiles on their faces, to people who didn't know Kate, they would most likely guess that Abby was her daughter. They arrived on the beach, the first person Kate spotted was Claire. "Claire!" Kate shouted, she began to jog a little still holding Abby's hand. Claire turned to them, with an confused smile on her face.
"Hello…" she said, staring at Abby.
"Hi, I'm Abby, pleased to meet you." Abby said, she looked at Aaron, in Claire's arms. "He's beautiful, it's a boy right?"
Claire nodded. "Thank you," she turned to Kate. "Umm-"
"She was in the hatch… this whole time." Kate said. Abby let go off her hand and walked towards the ocean. Kate began to explain how they found her to Claire.
Abby walked into the ocean, the water reached her ankles, she smiled, it felt so good… so cold. She turned to Kate and her smile grew bigger. Suddenly, it began to rain.
Claire let out a small scream and rushed for cover, Kate followed her and called to Abby. But Abby didn't come, she walked over to a rock and sat down, letting another memory come…Abby tucked her wet hair behind her ears, her new 'mourning' outfit was ruined by the rain, Abby was freezing, but she didn't notice, she was holding her legs to her chest, her head rested on her knees, she didn't remember how long ago she had ran away from the funeral, she didn't know how far she had ran, or how long it had been raining, she didn't care. She wanted to be alone.
She wiped away another tear that had escaped her eye, why couldn't she stop crying? She hated to cry, it was stupid, useless, and yet she was still crying. She missed her mom, so much already, she had been dead for only a couple of days and it felt like a lifetime. She never wanted to see her father again, never. Not her uncle either, why hadn't he saved her mother instead of her father?
She began to cry harder the more she thought about her mom, they used to have to much fun. She wrapped her arms around her legs, she looked around through her tears, she could tell she was in a park, she wiped away her other escaping tears. A light flashed on her, she covered her face with herhands.
"Abigail? Abigail Snow?" The man behind the light asked. Abby didn't reply, why couldn't they go away? "I'm officer Dan, you're father is very worried about you kid." He said.
"Tell him to go to hell." Abby said, at once she felt a little bad, she wasn't supposed to use language, but she didn't care right now. "I'm not going home!" she held back another sob.
Officer Dan exchanged glances with another officer. "Abigail, you dad's very worried about you, he misses you, he wants you home." He said.
"I don't care…" Abby said, a sob escaped her. "He murdered my mom… I never want to see him again!" she scooted away from the officers. "Please leave me alone…"
"Kid, he didn't murder your mom, the plane-"
"DON'T SAY THAT!" Abby shouted. "You're on his side! You're all on his side! He killed her! He- He lived and SHE died!"
The officers looked at each other again, then the other one spoke up. "Why don't we go inside my car? It's a bit chilly out here…" he shook some water off of his coat. "We can stop somewhere and get hot coco."
Abby shook her head. "No, I want to be alone…" She didn't want to cry in front of to police officers, but she couldn't stop herself, she began to cry, she cried so hard she felt dizzy. Officer Dan wrapped his arm around her, and carried her to his car.
Abby pushed the memory away, she turned to Kate who was motioning her to come inside the tent, Abby slowly stood up and hurried inside.
"What were you doing?" Kate asked as she squeezed some of the water out of Abby's hair.
"I was remembering…" Abby said, she stared out into the rain.
