Chapter 9: Are you Alex?

Claire knew that if she didn't get clothes for Charles he would either freeze to death over night, or he would get a horrible sun burn in the daytime. So she decided to sharpen a twig. She made a small incision on one end and the other end was sharpened to a very sharp point. She was working hard all morning, trying to look for cloth that wasn't needed. Finally se made him a mostly blue, with some green, onesie.

"Where did Alex go?" Danielle was still asking. Locke was telling her that Lily was the one that they saw.

"Danielle, Lily said that they killed Alex," Locke hated to cause the pain that Danielle had already suffered.

"I knew it, but you told me she was alive!" Danielle screamed.

"No, Danielle, Lily said that they shot her," Locke said. "But she's not sure that they actually killed her."

"Well I'm not getting my hopes up again!" Danielle screamed. "I'm moving back to my house!"

"You can't something will happen to you if you're all alone." Locke followed her all the way back to her hut.

"Will you leave me alone?" Danielle stopped and turned towards him.

"No," Locke said. Danielle put her index finger to her lips. They heard rustling coming from in side Danielle's house. They waited for it to come out, they both had their guns raised. The trapdoor opened and Danielle fired three times.

"Aaaah!" the creature screamed.

"ALEX!" Danielle was positive that this time the girl was her daughter. Alex was bleeding horribly, for Danielle had shot her twice in the shoulder and once in the arm. Alex was screaming in pain. Danielle took her down to her hut.

"Danielle, wait!" Locke poked his head down. "Jack is a doctor!" Danielle grabbed her eighteen year old daughter and darted through the trees to find Jack.

"Jack! Jack!" She screamed, heading for Shannon's tent. He came running out. His head whipping from left to right.

"What is it?" he asked. "Oh," he said when he saw that Danielle was holding a bleeding woman. "Who is this?" he asked.

"It's Alex!" she said, placing her daughter down on the sand.

"Mom, I thought you were dead," Alex said, and then she blacked out.

Jack put Alex where Boone had been a day earlier. After he had cleaned her wound he skillfully used tweezers to pull out the three bullets. He gave Alex stitches like Shannon and then left the tent. "She'll be okay, but she shouldn't be moving her arm for a while."

"Okay, may I sit with her?" Danielle asked.

"Sure, she should be blacked out for a couple of day," Jack left to get Boone and tell him he could also sit in the tent, but with Shannon.

Danielle entered the tent and held Alex's hand. "I've missed you so much," Danielle cried. She couldn't believe that she had shot her own flesh and blood.

"I've missed her too," Lily came inside and comforted Danielle. It wasn't too long before the tent cracked open again and Boone came in. He sat by Shannon until he saw Alex. She was the prettiest thing he had ever saw.

"Who's that?" he asked Danielle.

"It's my daughter, Alex," Danielle cried even louder. Boone stared at her the entire time he was in the tent.

Nadia was trying to attract Sawyer, she didn't know he already had the hots for some one. She moved closer and closer to him everyday, until she just decided to make the first move. "Hi," was all she said though.

"You were Sayid's chick weren't you?" he asked her.

"I was, but he is with that slut now, I hate him," Nadia turned away.

"Looks like we got somethin' in common," Sawyer smiled at her. He thought she was nice, but he'd rather take Kate from Jack right now. Nadia would see Kate flirt with Sawyer, then Jack and then Sayid.

That was Kate's daily schedule, unless someone was going somewhere, she would volunteer. Nadia needed to get Kate and Jack together if she wanted Sawyer bad enough.

Nadia began to start rumors around the camp. She told one woman, who was sitting near Kate, that Sawyer had flirted with her. She purposely said it loud so that Kate would hear. She ignored it though, since Sawyer flirts with everyone. Nadia started another rumor that Sawyer was in love with her, eventually, it got around to Kate.

"You son of a bitch!" Kate said pouncing on Sawyer. She punched him three times in the mouth, nose and eye.

"What the hell?" he yelled. "Why does everyone around here insult my mother, rather than me!"

"Shut up!" Kate stood up and kicked him. Jack was watching and laughing like a hyena from the background. "Go to hell!" she yelled storming off.

"If you didn't notice, this is hell!" he yelled after her. On her way to the caves she ran into Jack who was trying to hold in his laughter.

"Good fighting, you whooped his ass!" Jack said. Kate grabbed his head kissed him, and then shoved him off. "Well okay!" he called.

Back on the beach Nadia smiled as she approached Sawyer.
