Chapter 11: What the hell?
Boone cried, partially to get Alex's attention, but mostly because of Shannon. She hadn't woken up in the time she was given. Claire and Charlie came running towards the, Charles in Charlie's arms. "Jack wait!" Claire called. She came over. "She still has time, but it will be up at one today!"
"I know, but that's not very promising," Jack said, then he went back into the tent to feed Shannon and give her medicine. Claire frowned, she wished there was a way to give Shannon more time. Alex came over to Boone just as he had planned.
"Hi, I'm sorry about your sister," Alex said rubbing his back.
"It's all right. At least she's not like, carrying a baby, or something," Boone said, using his shirt to dry his tears. Claire and Charlie looked at each other.
It was one o'clock. Shannon's time was up and she wasn't awake. Boone was the first to start to cry, then Claire and Sayid. Nadia wasn't as happy as she thought she would be, but she wasn't even going to begin to tear up. "Well, I'll bury her," Jack said.
"Wait, she not dead yet," Kate said, she was also crying now. "You know, she'll be in there until she dies, unless.."
"I know, Sawyer?" Jack asked. Sawyer pulled out a gun.
"What are you going to do to her?" Nadia asked him.
"What I did to the marshall," he entered the tent.
"NO!" Boone tackled him. The gun went off. Everything stopped and Claire, Kate, Nadia, Danielle, Lily and Alex screamed. Sawyer got up, but Boone didn't. Jack poked his head in. Boone was lying on the ground bleeding.
"You shot him!" Jack pushed Sawyer out of the tent and began to clean Boone's wound. "Are you okay?"
"No," Boone fainted.
"I'm not trusting you with a gun anymore!" Jack said coming out of the tent. "The bullet went right through his stomach!"
"Oh my god!" Alex ran into the tent and sat with Boone. Jack had patched him up with a piece of cloth that used to be white, but now was blood red. Alex held his and and cried.
Jack came in and carried Shannon's flimsy body out to the beach. He laid her on a tarp and wrapped her up. "You're going to bury her alive?" Kate winced.
"Well shooting her didn't work," Jack answered. Sayid would have helped out but he just sat on a rock and stared at the glowing ocean. The sun light seemed to be pointing at Shannon. Sayid couldn't make himself watch Jack wrap Shannon in the blue tarp. He did however, help carry her to her grave.
"I will miss you so much," Sayid said. He turned away and began to cry silently. Jack lowered Shannon into the small hole that was dug for her. He began to cover her up.
"What the hell?" the tarp yelled. "Get me out! HELP!"
"Shannon?" Jack asked.
"Jack? Help me! What are you doing?" Shannon started to kick around in the tarp. Jack unwrapped her. "Why were you burying me?"
"We thought you were dead," Jack blushed.
"SHANNON!" Sayid jumped up and grabbed her. He kissed and hugged her.
"I.. can't... breathe!" she gasped.
"Oh, sorry," he put her down. Shannon sighed. "Excuse us, please."
"Oh, sure," Jack went back to the beach to tell everyone the news.
"Um, Shannon, I need to ask you some questions," Sayid sat her down. "Are you pregnant?"
"Claire," Shannon stood up and ran to the beach.
"Shannon!" everyone yelled.
"Where's Claire!" Shannon shouted angrily. Claire popped up. Shannon tackled her down and began biting and kicking her.
"What the hell are you doing physco path!" Claire screamed. Charlie gave Charles to Lily and then he grabbed Shannon and held her down.
"What are you doing! Get off me! Where did that bitch go!" Shannon screamed, trying to gnawed Charlie's hand off.
"Clam down!" Charlie yelled in her face. Claire looked at the scratches Shannon had given her. She looked at her arm, where blood was dripping out of teeth marks.
"You told bitch!" Shannon yelled trying to get Claire again.
"Shannon!" Charlie screamed and yelled at her until she was so tired she just fell asleep.
"That was odd," Claire was still examining her scraps.
"Are you okay? She attacked you pretty hard," Charlie asked.
"Where did she go!" Sayid called running out of the forest and searching frantically. He saw Claire. "Did she do that to you?"
"Yes," Claire said. "Did you know she was coming?"
"Well, she sort of said your name really evilly, and then she took off running, but all that came after I asked her... um... a question," Sayid stuttered.
'"Oh," Claire knew what question he was talking about. The crowd began to disperse. Jack put bandages on Claire.
