Lost - Chapter Two
"Shannon why are you being like this?" asked a man lowering down to her level.
"Because daddy you promised it would just be you and me forever,' the seven year old girl said pouting.
"But sweetie daddy loves Elizabeth."
"But daddy what if I don't like her, I'll be bored living with her and you."
"Well Elizabeth has a son called Boone so you won't be bored and you'll have a brother," said Shannon's father still lowered down to her level.
"Daddy I don't want a brother, I don't even want a sister and Boone that's a stupid name!' yelled the little girl.
'Shannon do not speak like that, we are going to be a part of their family whether you like it or not!" yelled Shannon's dad.
"I hate you daddy!" shouted Shannon running out of the living room and upstairs to her now not so tidy room.
"What did you do to my room!" yelled Shannon staring at the boy who was in the middle of it all.
"Richard told me to come up and wait for you, I'm Boone by the way." The young boy held out his hand.
'Daddy said wait not destroy my room!" Shannon yelled still fuming.
"I didn't mean to I was looking for something to do,' said Boone looking at his soon to be sister.
"Yeah well thanks cause now I have to tidy up or I won't be allowed out to play," said Shannon picking up everything off the floor and placing it back on the shelves and in drawers.
"Hey that didn't take long, can I play outside too?" asked Boone looking around Shannon's now tidy room.
"Yeah you can play outside but nowhere near me," said Shannon smirking and walking out of her bedroom.
Boone just frowned; he was going to hate this new family.
"Hey Shan, wake up," said Boone, 'come on you've got to eat something."
"Ok Boone I'm up, but I'm not hungry," said Shannon standing up, "I'm going o get washed and changed."
Shannon picked up some of her clothes and her bikini and headed into the woods, she stayed close to the cleaning while getting changed.
"Hey Shannon," said a mans voice from behind her.
Shannon smiled before turning around, "hi Sawyer are you following me?"
"No I wasn't following you, I was collecting wood for a fire."
"Likely story," said Shannon with her hands on her hips.
Sawyer held up some wood in his right hand and smiled.
"Ok fine," said Shannon defeated.
"Ok truth is I saw you leave and thought I'd make sure you were safe."
"So you were following me."
"Yeah I guess I was," said Sawyer, Shannon smiled, 'but only to make sure you were safe."
"That's what you want everyone to believe," said Shannon walking back down to the water's edge.
"Yeah well I don't want them all to know that I actually have feelings," laughed Sawyer joining Shannon at the water's edge.
"Can we hang out here for a while?" asked Shannon sitting on a towel she had brought with her.
"Sure we can," said Sawyer sitting next to her.
"Boone give me back my make up!" yelled Shannon running after her stepbrother in their large house.
"No you come and get it Shan," taunted Boone.
"Don't make me..." Shannon paused, "DADDY!" she screamed.
"What is it Shannon," said a very annoyed Richard.
"Boone stole my make up, I need it I'm going out."
"Why do you two argue all the time?" asked Richard looking at the both of them, they just shrugged, "you are supposed to be brother and sister, start acting like it!" he yelled.
Shannon snatched her make up bag out of Boone's hand, "I told you I didn't' t want him to be my brother so I'm not going to act like he is!" she yelled running back up to her room.
"Shannon! Shannon are you there?" asked Sawyer waving his hand in her face.
"Sorry Sawyer," said Shannon snapping out of her daze.
"Being in my company that boring?" Sawyer sounded a little offended.
"No I enjoy being in your company I was just remembering things from my past."
"Care to share?" asked Sawyer looking her straight in the eye.
"I was just remembering when I was younger and how I never wanted Boone to be my brother and we were always so mean to each other and my father used to yell at us and make us get along," she said laughing.
"So you never got along?" asked Sawyer not looking so surprised.
"Nah never he used to steal my make up and mess up my room when I was out with my friends," Shannon paused, 'he also hounded me about the guys I dated, always overprotective and sure some of the guys were jerks but the more overprotective he became the more I dated the jerks."
"So you dated guys to piss him off?"
"Pretty much, you know he's the brother I never wanted," Shannon smiled, 'but at the end of the day he is my brother and I love him."
"You're lucky I'm an only child, just me and my parents and now they're both dead so it's just me," said Sawyer picking up the sand in his right hand and letting it slip through his fingers.
"I'm sorry about your parents," said Shannon resting her head on Sawyer's shoulder.
"Yeah well it's all in the past."
"Is there anyone else here?" asked a man with a deep harsh voice.
"No," whispered a female's voice.
"Are you sure, what about our son?" he asked again.
"Please leave my baby out of this, it's nothing to do with him," she cried.
"Your baby, I remember when he was ours, what did everything leave your brain when you screwed that guy!" yelled the man really laying into the woman.
"Please don't do this," she pleaded, "we can work through this...for our son."
"No it's too late for that."
A little boy lay under the bad and flinched as he heard two-gun shots ring through his ears.
Shannon pulled back as Sawyer flinched at the mere memory of his parents.
"Are you ok?" asked Shannon concerned, "it was you who spaced out this time."
"Yeah I'm ok, sorry I was just remembering something from my childhood," said Sawyer looking at her.
'I guess from the look on your face you don't really want to talk about it," said Shannon turning slightly to face him.
'Nah not really," said Sawyer smiling.
Shannon leant in and went to kiss Sawyer on the cheek but he moved and she caught him square on the lips. Caught in the moment Sawyer placed his hands on her head and deepened the kiss. Shannon took hold of his waist and sat on his lap.
"Oh this is not good you know your dad is so gonna kill you," said an eighteen year old Boone.
"Please Boone don't tell dad, it was a harmless kiss," said Shannon pleading with her brother.
"A harmless kiss," stated Boone, "yeah that's why I found you guys in bed together."
"Ok so it got a little out of hand but come on dad doesn't need to know."
"Well what am I getting out of this?" asked Boone.
"What are you getting out of this? How does the satisfaction of helping your sister feel?" Shannon asked with puppy-dog eyes.
"Fine I'll keep it to myself, just don't let it happen again."
"Ok thanks you're a great brother," said Shannon.
Somehow during the intense make out session Shannon found herself lying underneath Sawyer.
"Shan...oh god, sorry," said Claire, who was looking for Shannon to borrow some sun cream.
"Claire!" exclaimed Shannon as Sawyer rolled off of her.
"Sorry I didn't mean to interrupt, I was just wondering if I could use some of this?" Claire asked picking up he bottle.
'Sure, hey Claire can you not say anything to anyone," said Shannon, she was starting to sound like her seventeen self, pleading with Boone.
"Sure I won't say anything besides it's your business," said Claire walking away.
"Do you think she will say anything?" asked Sawyer walking over and standing next to Shannon who was watching Claire walk back over to where the others had set up camp.
"Nah I don't think she will like she said it's not her business," she said smirking.
Sawyer wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her backwards, he picked up the towel and they both headed into the woods smiling.
"Hey Claire, how are you feeling today?" asked Charlie as she sat down on the sand and put sun cream on her arms and legs.
"Yeah I'm fine thanks Charlie and yourself?" she asked looking at him.
"I'm great, you know for being stuck on an island with people I don't know."
Claire just smiled at him. They continued to talk and get to know each other.
Sawyer and Shannon didn't get very far when they were stopped by Locke, the same man who had stopped Boone rushing into the woods after Shannon when the creature was near.
"Look you two don't want to go in there," he said.
"And why not?" asked Sawyer his smile dropping from his face and turning into a frown.
"Because no one knows what's out there," he said mysteriously, "and you wouldn't want to lose your pretty little head, now would you?" he asked directing his question at Shannon.
"Sawyer lets just get out of here and go back to the beach, he's really freaking me out."
"Sure, come on," said Sawyer taking her hand and heading back the way they came.
Locke stood there smiling he'd managed to stop them going into the woods...for now, but he couldn't stop everyone. Some were going to die...
"Who does that guy think he is?" asked Sawyer annoyed.
"I don't know, but it's fine don't worry about it we'll do it some other time," said Shannon smiling.
Since the crash Jack had not stopped rushing around looking after everyone else and helping them survive.
"Jack you need to stop, you're going to wear yourself out," said Claire looking at him.
"I know Claire, but while these people are still in danger I can't stop," said Jack yawning.
"Please just take it easy," said Claire walking away and sitting on the plane seats, which a couple of the others had taken out after the crash.
"Claire I'm sorry I just can't do this anymore," said a young man in his late twenties.
"What!" exclaimed Claire, "you're the one who wanted this baby."
"Well Claire I'm sorry but I can't do this no more."
With that said the young man turned on his heels and walked out of the door, out of Claire's life and their baby. Claire felt as if her heart had been ripped from her chest, she couldn't raise this child alone. She sat on the edge of her bed as silent tears fell down her face.
"Claire, are you ok?" asked Charlie looking at her concerned.
She hadn't realised that during her flash back Charlie had sat next to her and she had begun to cry.
"Yeah I'm fine," said Claire wiping her eyes.
"You don't look fine."
"Just something that I don't want to talk about,' said Claire looking at him.
"Ok, well if you want to talk I'm here for you," said Charlie taking her hand.
"Thank you,' she said smiling.
Charlie stood up and walked away looking back over his right shoulder at Claire who had taken out a little black book and was writing in it. He guessed it was a diary. As he was walking along the sand he put his hands in his pocket. There they were the little things that made him who he was.
"Come on Charlie this is what rock stars are supposed to do," said a man who looked similar to Charlie but older.
"I don't care what you say, I don't want any of this, the girls, the drugs, I just want to play the guitar and make the music for everyone," said Charlie looking at the older guy.
"Charlie you're my brother and I love you, I promise just try this once.' Charlie's brother handed him a clear see through bag.
He opened the bag and placed some of the white powder onto a beer mat, he held his nose and sniffed it in.
That was where it all started that moment when his brother had offered him the heroin, he looked around and everyone seemed to be busy doing other things, Claire was still writing in the little black book, Jack was rushing around still and everybody else looked drained of any energy they had left.
Charlie looked at the clear see through bag that he still had in her pocket, he headed into the woods and stood behind a tree. He took out the bag and opened it up; he placed some of the powder on the back of his hand and sniffed it in.
Charlie quickly placed the bag back in his pocket and left the woods with a dopey grin on his face.
"Are you ok man?" asked Hurley taping Charlie on the shoulder.
"Yeah I'm fine thanks," said Charlie smiling.
Charlie and Hurley continued to walk across the beach and headed over to the tent where Jack was helping a lady with long brown curly hair which was tied up in a lose ponytail.
"There you go Kate," said Jack packing up the first aid kit.
"Thanks."
"No problem, next time don't go in the woods alone," said Jack helping her up.
Kate smiled and they both left the tent and nearly ran into Charlie and Hurley.
"Kate that was close the cops nearly saw us, don't you think it looks suspicious you know us in dark clothes and hats," said a tall man with dark hair.
"Stop worrying so much it's fine," said Kate heading into the bank.
Everything was over in a manner of seconds, Kate had no idea what was going on she was running on adrenaline, the next thing she knew she was running, running from the police. They had caught them during the robbery and she had shot her partner, it was an accident, or so she believed. She was running and she couldn't stop but where was she running too?
"Hey Kate, you want some lunch?" asked Jack looking at her.
Kate looked at him confused and wondered where she was, a second ago she was running from the police.
"Kate!" said Jack again.
"Yeah what?" asked Kate frowning at him.
"I asked you if you wanted some lunch?"
"Oh sorry, yeah ok."
Hurley, Charlie, Jack and Kate started to prepare lunch. Everyone else started heading over to help them.
"Walt come on, come over and eat something," said Michael the young boy's father.
"I'll be over later I'm not hungry right now," said Walt turning to face his golden Labrador Vincent.
'Ok, well I'll just be over here," said Michael walking over to the others.
Walt stayed seated on the sand playing with Vincent. Vincent was lying on his back and Walt was rubbing his belly.
"I love you Vincent, I wish mum were here," said Walt looking at the sand on the floor.
"Mum, why are you always in bed?" asked Walt looking at her lying in her bed.
"Because baby I'm not well."
"But mum I miss having fun with you," Walt said sitting on the edge of her bed.
"I know I miss spending time with you too but I can't right now, why don't you go and spend some time with your dad," she said smiling at her son.
"Ok, I love you mum."
"I love you too baby," she replied weakly.
Walt leant into his mother and kissed her on the cheek. He left the room and went to find his father, or the man he believed was his father.
"How's the little man doing?" asked Hurley looking at Michael who looked over at his son.
"I hope so, he's had it tough, he just lost his mum and found out that the man he believed was his father isn't and that me a complete stranger is," said Michael looking at the group.
"Wow and I thought I was screwed up with my life," said Sawyer.
Everyone turned to face him, most of them gave him death glares, Shannon smiled at him, she knew that both his parents were dead. She reached out her hand placing it on his and gave it a little squeeze. That was all he need knowing that she was there to help him through the memories. Charlie quickly placed the bag back in his pocket and left the woods with a dopey grin on his face.
"Are you ok man?" asked Hurley taping Charlie on the shoulder.
"Yeah I'm fine thanks," said Charlie smiling.
Charlie and Hurley continued to walk across the beach and headed over to the tent where Jack was helping a lady with long brown curly hair which was tied up in a lose ponytail.
"There you go Kate," said Jack packing up the first aid kit.
"Thanks."
"No problem, next time don't go in the woods alone," said Jack helping her up.
Kate smiled and they both left the tent and nearly ran into Charlie and Hurley.
"Kate that was close the cops nearly saw us, don't you think it looks suspicious you know us in dark clothes and hats," said a tall man with dark hair.
"Stop worrying so much it's fine," said Kate heading into the bank.
Everything was over in a manner of seconds, Kate had no idea what was going on she was running on adrenaline, the next thing she knew she was running, running from the police. They had caught them during the robbery and she had shot her partner, it was an accident, or so she believed. She was running and she couldn't stop but where was she running too?
"Hey Kate, you want some lunch?" asked Jack looking at her.
Kate looked at him confused and wondered where she was, a second ago she was running from the police.
"Kate!" said Jack again.
"Yeah what?" asked Kate frowning at him.
"I asked you if you wanted some lunch?"
"Oh sorry, yeah ok."
Hurley, Charlie, Jack and Kate started to prepare lunch. Everyone else started heading over to help them.
"Walt come on, come over and eat something," said Michael the young boy's father.
"I'll be over later I'm not hungry right now," said Walt turning to face his golden Labrador Vincent.
'Ok, well I'll just be over here," said Michael walking over to the others.
Walt stayed seated on the sand playing with Vincent. Vincent was lying on his back and Walt was rubbing his belly.
"I love you Vincent, I wish mum were here," said Walt looking at the sand on the floor.
"Mum, why are you always in bed?" asked Walt looking at her lying in her bed.
"Because baby I'm not well."
"But mum I miss having fun with you," Walt said sitting on the edge of her bed.
"I know I miss spending time with you too but I can't right now, why don't you go and spend some time with your dad," she said smiling at her son.
"Ok, I love you mum."
"I love you too baby," she replied weakly.

"Wow and I thought I was screwed up with my life," said Sawyer.
Everyone turned to face him, most of them gave him death glares, Shannon smiled at him, she knew that both his parents were dead. She reached out her hand placing it on his and gave it a little squeeze. That was all he need knowing that she was there to help him through the memories.
They all sat in comfortable silence while eating their lunch, Walt was still playing with Vincent and mostly everyone had forgotten about Sawyer's comment, Jack had occasionally stole a glance at him as did Boone who had made it clear that he hated him.
"Ok that's it!" shouted Shannon putting the food down. Everyone looked at her.
"Shannon don't worry," said Sawyer looking at her.
"No this is ridiculous, ever since we landed here all of you have judged Sawyer none of you have got to know him and it's just not fair!"
Shannon's voice was growing louder the more she got annoyed.
"Shannon calm down ok, it's fine I don't care anyway," said Sawyer standing up.
Shannon stood up next to Sawyer and took hold of his hand.
"We're gonna go now, I can't believe you won't even give him a chance."
Shannon and Sawyer left the group holding hands and took two towels to sit on.
"I can't believe them,' said Shannon still annoyed.
"Listen don't worry about it, I got you on my side that's all that matters."
Shannon moved from her spot sitting between Sawyer's legs to sitting on his lap.
"So all that matters is that I'm on your side?"
"Yeah," said Sawyer kissing Shannon.
Shannon and Sawyer had been so caught up in their kiss that they hadn't realised Michael had walked over to them.
"Hey guys," said Michael.
Shannon and Sawyer pulled apart and looked up at him.
"Hey Michael," said Sawyer smiling as Shannon got off his lap and sat next to him.
"Sorry about before over there."
"No problem it's just I may know what he's going through, both my parents are dead," said Sawyer the smile disappearing from his face.
"I'm sorry to hear that," said Michael sitting next to him.
"No big deal, it's all in the past."
"I was wondering if you could maybe talk to him, try and get him to open up," said Michael looking at Sawyer.
Sawyer looked over at Shannon who smiled and nodded.
"Sure I'll try can't guarantee anything."
"Thank you," said Michael shaking his hand.
Michael stood up and headed back to the group.
"Well it's a start," said Shannon smiling and resting her hand on his leg.
"Yeah well let's hope that we get off this island soon or I'm going to go crazy."
"Well you got me to keep you sane, for now."
Shannon smiled and Sawyer pulled her back into another passionate kiss.
When the need for air became too much they both pulled apart with huge grins on their faces.
"Well I best go talk to Walt for Michael," said Sawyer.
"Yeah, but hey just be yourself," Shannon smiled, "that's why I love you." Shannon looked shocked by what she had said and looked at Sawyer, he was just smiling at her.
"What? What are you smiling at?" asked Shannon.
"Nothing, you just said you loved me that's all," said Sawyer standing up.
"Well um...you know what lets talk later," said Shannon who was stuck for words, which was unusual for her.
"Sure, I gotta talk to Walt anyways."
"Yeah ok, bye."
Sawyer walked away from Shannon and over to the young boy who was sitting on the sand with his knees to his chest watching his dog run in the shallow part of the sea.
"Hey kid," said Sawyer approaching him.
"Hey," said the young boy not taking his eyes off his dog.
"You mind if I sit here with ya?"
"No go ahead," said Walt gesturing for Sawyer to sit down.
Sawyer took a seat and watched the dog with Walt, Sawyer couldn't believe it, this dog was this boy's best friend, he'd never had a best friend he was always on his own at school until he got in with the wrong crowd and now here he was stuck on an island with people he didn't know and a girl he was completely crazy about. 'Crazy about' that was new, he'd never felt this way about anyone, but this wasn't the time to be thinking about his new feelings for Shannon, he needed to talk to this young boy about his feelings.
"I heard about your mum I'm really sorry," said Sawyer pushing all other thoughts aside.
"Yeah well it's old news now, did Michael tell you?" asked Walt both annoyed and upset.
"Yeah your dad did tell me, why are you so mad at him? He loves you, you know."
"I'm not mad at him, I don't even know him."
'What do you mean?" asked Sawyer confused.
'Well yeah he's my real dad, but I never grew up with him, I grew up with my mum and Ryan," Walt paused and looked at Sawyer who looked confused, "Ryan was my mum's husband, my dad, well I thought he was my dad till my mum died and this all happened."
"I understand it's hard losing your mum and the man you thought was your dad, but you know what kid you got lucky, you've got another dad who loves you enough to die for you," Sawyer looked at Walt who seemed intrigued by his story, "I was left alone, both my parents died and I had nobody to turn to, don't push your dad away he only wants to look after you and be a good dad."
"Thanks Sawyer, and I'm sorry about your parents," said Walt standing up.
"No problem kid, you ever wanna chat I'll be around."
"Ok thanks I'm going to go talk to my dad."
Walt walked away from Sawyer and over to his dad.
'Hey dad," said Walt smiling slightly.
"Hey son," said Michael smiling at Walt as he had called him dad, well it was a start. They continued to talk and got to know one another, they were soon joined by Walt's dog Vincent.
Shannon saw that Sawyer had finished talking to Walt and started to walk over to him. Before Shannon was able to get close enough to Sawyer Boone stepped in front of her.
"What are you doing, get out of my way!" she said annoyed.
"Look Shannon seriously how much do you know about this guy?"
"Enough, look Boone, what are you jealous?"
"No I'm not jealous, I just wanna look out for you," said Boone.
"I know you do Boone and I love you for that but I can look out for myself," said Shannon very determined.
"Ok but please talk to me if you need to.'
"Ok sure, now I'm gonna go talk to Sawyer," said Shannon looking for Sawyer where she last saw him, 'hey where is he?"
"Maybe he went for a walk or something," said Boone.
"Yeah maybe, I'm going to go sit with Claire or the others you know whatever," said Shannon walking back from where she came.
Boone watched Shannon walk back to her towel and sit down he then went in the opposite direction and into the woods.
"Hey what the hell is going on?" asked Sawyer his voice slightly raised as he was dragged into the woods.
"Where is it?" asked a man who Sawyer hadn't spoken to before.
"Where is what?" asked Sawyer confused, "and who the hell are you?"
"My name is Sayid."
"Look Sawyer we just wanna know where the water is," said Jack joining Sayid.
'Water I have no idea where it is maybe you guys misplaced it," said Sawyer looking at the both of them, "would you just let me go."
"Hey you guys I found the water,' said Boone walking into the woods where the three of them were.
"Where was it?" asked Sayid.
"It was in the tent under some leaves," said Boone.
'Ok thanks, Sawyer we're sorry, this was a complete misunderstanding," said Jack apologising to Sawyer.
"Jack why don't you and Sayid go back to the others I'll walk with Sawyer," said Boone looking at them.
"Ok Boone," said Sayid walking away. Jack followed and left Boone and Sawyer on their own.
"Hey so you gonna let me past?" asked Sawyer.
"No," said Boone bluntly as he punched Sawyer in the stomach and tied him to the nearest tree. Sawyer groaned in pain as Boone continued his attack.
"Listen just stay away from my sister!" he yelled and left the woods with Sawyer still tied up.
Sawyer felt really weak as he tried to call for help. Just then there was a loud crunch and trees started to fall down.
"Where's Sawyer?" yelled Shannon panicking.
"He was in there with Jack, Sayid and Boone last time we saw him," said Claire.
"Jack, Sayid, where's Sawyer?"
'He was coming out after us with Boone," said Sayid looking at Shannon.
"But Boone's over there," said Shannon pointing Boone out, "oh my god, SAWYER!" screamed Shannon running towards the woods and creature.
