"They don't seem as if they could work for the Other's. They are very spoiled, materialistic young women."
"I still don't see why you let her stay with Sawyer." Kate said, Jack was a little irritated that she was acting so jealous regarding Sawyer's behavior. He found it to be typical Sawyer but he could sense the obvious frustration and disappointment in Kate's tone.
"Aly has fallen asleep, but I can get Kellie if you would like to talk to her." Sayid suggested.
"No, I'll get her." Kate stated.
"Kate..." Jack trailed off, her behavior wasn't typical for Kate, but lately she seemed to be rather close to Sawyer, and Kellie coming into the picture was obviously pushing on Kate's nerves.
Kate ignored Jack, walking off towards Sawyer's shelter. Alex looked at Jack with a shrug as he shook his head.
Kate pushed back the flap of Sawyer's shelter and stared, as Sawyer jumped up and grinned.
"Why hello there, freckles, come to join the fiesta? Bring any drinks?"
"Sawyer..." Kate groaned.
"Oh, sorry for not makin' introductions. This here's my new friend Kellie, she's got nice eyes, don't she?"
"I doubt you're looking at her eyes." Kate stated.
"Someone's a little green with envy, ain't she?" Sawyer patted the ground beside him, "Come sit, have a chocolate bar, I won't let you feel left out."
Kate ignored Sawyer and looked at the girl to his left. "Kellie, right?"
Kellie nodded.
"Come with me." Kate said, motioning for her to follow.
"Awww, shit, sent to the principals office already, Juggs."
"I'll be back." Kellie smiled, before giving an exaggerated gulp. "I hope!"
She followed Kate, who lead her to a small fire where Sayid sat with a few other people Kellie didn't recognize.
"I'm Jack." She heard first, swooning a bit over the handsome man who stood and offered a gentle handshake. She eyed his upper arms and scattered tattoos, and couldn't help but smile as he gave her a handsome smile, he was good looking and Kellie thanked her lucky stars she was stranded with such good looking people.
"I'd offer ya a drink, love but I don't have much to offer." Desmond smirked.
"I have some Malibu Rum!" Kellie exclaimed with a smile. "Amongst other things."
"Oh, join us then, drinks all around." He caught Jack looking at him and his smile dropped. "Oh uh, sorry brotha."
"So, Kellie...your father's yacht was hijacked?"
Kellie sighed, she didn't understand why her story was so hard to believe or why a bunch of plane crash survivors would be so untrusting. She felt that they would be glad to meet new people, especially people like Kellie and Aly with so many connections.
"Yes." Kellie nodded.
"Do you have passports or anything?" Kate asked.
Kellie nodded. "Photo ID's, Passports...all sorts of paperwork. Help yourselves to my personal business." Kellie stated, clearly annoyed.
The group said nothing and Kellie sighed, realizing they wanted her to walk back and get her things. She looked through her bag as Sawyer begged her to stay, but she told him to wait a little longer, grabbing her wallet and passport, not able to locate Aly's which she assumed were in one of the bags she had dragged to Sayid's shelter. She eyed the paperwork she had to carry with her in the most extreme of emergencies, her adoption paperwork, Sawyer watched her as her fingers ran over a small envelope with a metallic floral sticker sealing it shut. It was a letter from her biological mother that Kellie, even after 20 some odd years couldn't bare to open. She pressed her passport and ID in between her lips as she slipped everything else in her bag and zipped it up, walking back to the small group waiting for her.
"Here." She said, handing the ID and passport to Kate.
Kate eyed them, then looked back up at Kellie before handing them to Jack.
"How are you feeling?" Jack asked, politely.
Kellie shrugged. "I don't think the initial stranded on and island and probably not going to be rescued thing has hit me yet. I don't think my sister is taking it well at all, and I could really use a shower and some hot tea and maybe a massage but..." Kellie looked at Jack who gave her a small smile. "Oh, you meant physically?"
Jack nodded. Kellie began to speak again, "Tired I guess, sunburned, still thirsty...I just need a good nights sleep."
"I'm a doctor." Jack stated. "If you feel strange, weak, anything out of the ordinary, let me know."
Kellie swooned even more over the fact that he was a doctor. She would swoon even more had he said plastic surgeon but his handsome smile more than made up for it.
"Okay." She blushed. "I guess, we're all clear here then?"
Jack nodded. "We'll talk more in the morning, I'd like to sit you and your sister down and just go over a few things."
"Alright." Kellie nodded. "See you in the morning." She smiled, giving a girlie wave before prancing back off to Sawyer's shelter. Maybe this island wasn't so bad after all!
Kate watched Kellie walk back towards Sawyer's shelter, beyond disgusted at her obviously flirty eyes towards Jack and eagerness to get back to Sawyer.
"She's a tramp." Kate declared, surprising both Jack and Sayid.

Charlie rubbed his eyes and struggled to keep walking. He was exhausted, both physically and mentally and he wasn't sure how much longer he could go on like this. He wasn't even sure where he was, he had stopped paying attention long ago.
His feet were soaked, his shoes sloshing with every step he took. He had stepped in one too many puddles, and now his pants were also soaked up to the knees. He wiped his brow with the sleeve of his sweatshirt and told himself to go back. Just say you got sick. He shrugged to himself. It wasn't that much of a lie considering he felt awful at this point and could barely hear anything it all. He was starting to feel dizzy again, so he sat himself in a grove to catch his breath and clear his head.
He couldn't believe what he saw as he looked up. The girl, the girl from the hotel just before he got on flight 815. The little witch who cursed at him, bruised his ego and used him for drugs. Charlie rubbed his eyes, hoping he was just seeing things again. That little trollop! He growled to himself. Of all people to see, he had to see her?
She gave him a smirk and motioned with her right index finger for him to follow her. Shaking his head, he knew he had to run again.
He ignore the pain in his head as he stood, trying hard not to fall over from the exhausted that was consuming him like a wild fire. He ran and ran until he reached the beach camp, thanking anyone possible that he had found his way back.
He kneeled in the sand, catching his breath. He spotted Claire, but his eyes saddened as he saw her smile, not at him, but at John Locke.
---------------------------
Everyone followed Kellie's example and slipped back to their shelters, Jack last as he did a final check on Eko, Sun telling him she had everything in order and to get his sleep. Alex tossed and turned in her sleep, constantly waking Kate who grew worried about the girl.
Sayid laid awake for a while, thinking about everything that had happened over the past day, finally succumbing to sleep's beckoning call.
He awoke a few hours later, much to his surprise, with Aly curled up next to him, laying on her side, her left arm draped over his torso.
He couldn't help but smile at how lovely and sweet she looked as she slumbered, and even though it was a little awkward, he didn't bother to move her, he simply draped his arm around around her shoulder and slowly drifted back to sleep.
