Previous Night
"I prefer the boat." Sawyer groaned and the foursome jumped rock to rock in a desperate attempt to reach the shore.
Alex was far ahead of the other three and gave a yell when she reached shore.
"Is she rubbin' in the fact that she didn't get shot at, kicked, spit on and just plain irritated? Cuz had I have been in better condition, I would have been there first." Sawyer said to Kate, who was a few feet behind him.
"You are far too competitive." Kate laughed.
"Don't act like it don't turn you on a bit there, Freckles."
Jack cleared his throat from behind Sawyer and Sawyer shook his head.
"Just can't handle it, can ya Doc?" Sawyer smirked as he reached the shore.
"Oh God, Seriously, Testosterone Levels...Lower...NOW." Kate growled.
Sawyer reached the shore and stretched his arms and legs, Kate reached shore and lifted her arms in glee, then gave a bit of a wince over her sore back.
Jack was the last to come to shore and shined his dim flashlight around the area.
"Any idea where we are?" Kate asked no one in particular.
"We could walk the beach." Sawyer shrugged, "If we keep at it we're bound to run back into the camp."
Alex shook her head. "Bad Idea, we don't know if they'll circling the island."
"Don't know if they're in the jungle either now do we Jailbait?"
"Sawyer, I think she knows their motives better then we do." Jack stated.
"Alright then, we'll just frolic through the jungle in the middle of the night and get eaten by god knows what." He turned Jack and pushed him forward. "You first, Doc."
Jack seemed rather irritated at Sawyer touching him but before either of them could do anything else, Kate stepped in between them.
"I think we should rest." Kate suggested. "We've got matches, we can head in a little bit, set up a small camp and wait until dawn."
Alex nodded. "Good idea."
"Which one of you is gonna make me dinner?" Sawyer asked, putting one arm around Kate's shoulder and the other around Alex's. Kate shoved his arm from her shoulder and shook her head.
"In your dreams, Sawyer." Kate said, shaking her head as she started off into the unknown.
Alex laughed as she pushed Sawyer's arm from her shoulder and followed Kate.
"After You." He smirked, motioning for Jack to go first. Jack shook his head and stepped forward, following after Kate and Alex.
-----------------------------------
Sun was having a hard time keeping Jin in the conversation, Charlie, Sayid and Hurley were all speaking far too fast and she sighed trying to abbreviate what they said in order for Jin to understand.
"So, we just kinda let them have their rule of the island then and do what they want?" Charlie asked as Kellie walked back to Sawyer's shelter.
"For the moment, leave them be. They're no threat to us." Sayid stated.
"Right, look at your jaw, mate." Charlie pointed out. "They aren't on my team then." Charlie mumbled.
"Charlie, there is only one team. We must work together to secure our safety and well being. Their behavior only hurts themselves in the end."
Jin spoke up and Sun nodded, "Jin would like to know if the have anything useful, anything at all?"
Sayid shook his head, "Seems like they've only brought along clothing and over priced accessories, besides, I am not going near their things again until they calm down somewhat. Then we will ask for anything useful, given they will let us have it."
Sun nodded and then turned to Jin, translating.
Jin nodded, yet seemed irritated at the girls as well.
"The darker haired ones kinda nice, uhm, Kellie." Hurley shrugged.
"Hurley, don't surrender to the dark side just yet over a pair of long legs and green eyes."
"Dude, I'm not checking her out." Hurley growled. "Did you people already forget about Libby?" He sighed, scooping up Queenie and walking off.
Sayid glared at Charlie who threw up his arms in surrender, "The fuck did I do?"
"Obviously you have much to learn of love." Sayid stated. "Hurley deeply felt for Libby, and you must respect that, if he should so choose to associate with Kellie then so be it, he has been through a lot and perhaps a friendship between them will be beneficial to everyone. Merely talking to Kellie does not mean he has fallen for her."
"And I haven't been through a lot?" Charlie asked.
"Honestly I do not know what you have been through because you have failed to give me all of the details."
"My ears are shoot, man. My bloody hearings like I got the whole bleedin' ocean in my ears and I can't get it out. I said, let's go to the hatch, I said I'm concerned...what else do you need from me?"
"I need answers."
"Eko got dynamite...Eko tries to blow open doors. Then the bloody place goes barmy and I've got forks flyin' at my head and I manage to get out but they don't as far as I know. I've said it a thousand bloody times, what else do you need from me?" Is everyone daft now?"
"We need to go to the Hatch." Sayid declared. "We must see if they are still alive and if so, we must get them out immediately."
"Didn't I say this earlier?" Charlie sighed.
"If only we had some knowledge of Kate, Jack and Sawyer's situation..." Sayid trailed off.
------------------------------
"Change in plans." Aly smirked.
"Oh god." Kellie sighed.
"It would be easier to hijack the boat at night. So, as soon as everyone's basically sleeping, we take the little raft and go out to the sailboat, then we take off and they have no way to get us." Aly smiled wide.
"Its called swimming, Aly, they're on an island. I think they might just be able to swim, don't you?"
"I doubt they'll swim after us. They're not so keen on getting rescued anyway, I doubt highly that they'll even miss the damn boat."
"You don't know that they don't want to get rescued, Aly, stop being rude."
ALy rolled her eyes. "Look, you are my sister, and I love you, so I'll let everything slide...for now."
"Aly, seriously, this is a stupid idea." Kellie sat next to her sister and looked her in the eyes. "These poor people have been stuck here for two months and there's more about this island then we know, I just don't think it's a good idea at all. Besides, look what floating around in saltwater ALREADY did to my hair, no thank you!"
"What's the difference between being on a boat or being on the beach. At least if we get on the boat we can get rescued and get our hair done. I can't stay here, these people are strange and we have a better chance of getting rescued this way."
"Alana Nicole, why are you so stubborn?" Kellie asked.
"Because being stubborn and strong helps me not to get walked all over, you know me better then to ask that." Aly stared at her sister for a moment, fierce with desire and determination, and Kellie's eyes softened sympathetically, she loved her sister more then words could describe and though they bickered and made idle threats, never would they truly volunteer to be separated.
"Fine, I'll do it." Kellie sighed.
The girls waited until the camp got quiet and peered out, watching Sayid, Charlie walking off to the woods.
"Perfect." Aly smiled. She slipped on a pair of flip flops, grabbed a couple bags and snuck over to the small boat, throwing her things on as Kellie followed and did the same.
"We'll come back for the rest, you know, when we get rescued we'll tell them about these people and then they can grab our stuff for us." Kellie said, grabbing her sisters arm before she could grab more things.
Aly just shrugged and helped her sister push the small boat to the water, climbing in just as a wave hit.
"Aly!" Kellie growled as it became apparent that she would get soaked trying to maneuver the raft. She struggled to get herself on and when she did so Aly handed her the oars.
"I'm not rowing, you are, I got wet, you row!"
The two girls had completely forgotten about Queenie, who started yipping which alerted Hurley to their plan.
"You've got to be kidding me." Hurley sighed to himself.
He looked around camp, and saw that Claire was also watching the spectacle.
"We better go get Sayid..." He groaned to Claire.
