Here's my first attempt at a Lost fic, so don't be too brutal. I am trying to write it with the new season, so it might be a bit off, but at the same time it will be close to it, altered with a new character. I might not update until the new episode, on September 21. This is just the prologue, so the story doesn't really start until the new season starts. Okay, I'll stop talking now.

Prologue

Sayid sat at the fire, watching the embers fly from the blaze in front of him. The people still on the island were fast asleep. Sayid had volunteered to stay awake in case something would come. Hurley, Locke, Kate and Jack were still out by that huge metal cave-type thing hoping to open it. He and Charlie had just returned with Claire's baby who had been taken by Danielle (That's her name, right?). They didn't know where she had went off to, but all they knew was, Danielle was gone.

Claire now slept with Charlie and the baby close by. Sun slept near them as well, just in case Danielle was going to try something again. Charlie held the baby, shushing to him slowly, letting Sun and Claire sleep. He had been like a father to the child and here he was, being one again.

Sayid relaxed against the log. He was tired, but he won't fall asleep, especially after what happened. He would keep watch, no matter what. It was then, when he heard a sound. Something was moving through the grass. The grass moved quickly, as if a breeze moved through it, but there was no wind at all. He slowly got up to his feet and reached for the gun Locke had given him earlier. It was still loaded with three bullets in case of emergency.

Sayid moved towards the moving grass, sweat pouring down his face, making his black curls stick to his forehead. He moved slowly, as if he were a lion going after an injured prey. The grass and branches moved again. Sayid moved closer to the bush. The bush shook. Sayid saw something stick its black head out of the bush covered with leaves and in tangles. Sayid moved the gun and hit it in the head. The thing fell to the ground.

Sayid moved to get a better look. As he looked closer, he saw that he had knocked out a woman. She had long black hair (making it look like she a black head), dirty pale, pale olive skin, and looked maybe 24, or 25. She had a slender figure and was dressed in a torn tank top, showing a bit of her bra and blue jeans torn in all different places. Sayid looked her over, seeing a large bruise starting to form and a cut making blood leak from her forehead from where he had hit her.

Sayid slowly picked up the woman. She was breathing softly, as if she were asleep. He carried her over to the fire and laid her by the logs on the soft sand. Sayid left her for a moment and went to Charlie.

"I want you to see something, someone. Give Aaron to Sun."

Charlie shook Sun in one hand while balancing Aaron in the other. She slowly woke.

"Charlie, what is it?"

"Please take the baby for a minute. Sayid says he wants to show me something."

Sun sighed. "What could he want at this time of night?"

"If I knew, I would tell you." Sun took the sleeping child in her arms, and rocked him as she sat. Charlie followed Sayid as they made their way over to where Sayid had left the unconscious woman. She still lay there, unmoved. Charlie got to the ground, looking her over.

"Who is she? Is she one of them?"

"I don't know. She was wondering around in the brush, and I knocked her out. She could be one of then, but we don't know for sure."

"Are you going to take care of her cut?"

"I will, but I would prefer for her to be awake if I did."

"Well, what do we do with her for now?" Charlie got of his knees, still glancing down at the unconscious woman. The wind blew a few strands of hair in her face.

"Well, we don't know who she is. I think it would be safer if we tie her up or something. Where are those handcuffs?"

"They're in Kate's bag. But wouldn't that be-"

"Stealing? At the moment, no. We have no choice, Charlie. Go get them." Charlie nodded and raced off to Kate's bag and camp site. Sayid picked up the woman and moved her over to a tree. She was lying on her back, and Sayid had moved her arms up. It was soon when Charlie had returned with the handcuffs and a key. Sayid attached the key to the chain around his neck. Charlie put the handcuffs on the woman as she wrapped her arms around the tree. They clicked around her wrists.

Sayid put a cloth under the woman's head and moved back to the fire. Charlie let her arms go limp to the ground. Charlie made his way back to where Claire, Sun and baby Aaron were. They baby seemed to like Sun, because he was fast asleep in her arms. Charlie smiled and took the baby from her.

"You ever been a mum?"

"No, but children tend to like me. What was going on with Sayid, Charlie?"

"He knocked out some girl. She was wondering around in the jungle and he thought it was something threatening. She looks like she's been here awhile. Ripped clothes, dirty face, and tangled hair."

"What did you do with her?"

"Sayid thought it would be appropriate that we handcuff her to the tree until we find out who she is."

"You handcuffed her to a tree?"

"For now. She'll be out of them when we find out if she's not one of them.

Sun stayed silent and shifted her gazes at the baby who was snoring softly. Charlie went off the topic, and let Sun get back to sleep so she could watch the baby at later hours…

There's my first chapter! You guys now have to wait until September 21st, to find out what happens next. I don't know what is going to happen next, but I'm just saying I'm playing the story by ear as the episodes go. With any hope, Sawyer, Jin and Michael will end up back on the island, but who knows? Please Read and Review. Please, no flames!
