Chapter 16: Epilogue
"What happened to you!" Jack asked her.
"I don't know I woke up, covered in blood," Nadia said. "I would have washed off, but I wanted you to see."
"Oh, okay, you can go wash off now," Jack said. Nadia dashed for the ocean to clean herself.
"Are Sayid and Shannon dead?" Claire asked.
"No, Sayid is fine, Shannon is fine, but Shannon's baby..." Jack held Claire's hand. He hugged her. Charlie came out of the trees and saw Jack kiss Claire on the forehead when he pulled out of the hug. Charlie took Claire's astonished expression.
"Here's Charles," Charlie gave the baby boy to his mom. "Is everyone all right?" Charlie sat down between Jack and Claire, glaring at Jack.
"Thanks," Claire smiled and rocked Charles as he cooed. Sawyer came over, he was one of the people helping to put out the fire. He covered in ashes.
"What is it with that couple coming over here covered in something that they could have washed off?" Claire asked Jack.
"Ha ha," Sawyer gave here a sarcastic smile. "I was putting out the burning raft when I fell in the fire. I slipped on the sand," Sawyer collapsed on the sand.
"Sawyer!" Nadia yelled. She darted back across the beach to them. "What happened to him?" she asked Jack.
"He said he fell in the fire," Jack answered. "He doesn't have very bad burns. Will you get someone to bring him to the medical tent?" Jack answered. Nadia nodded her head and came back with Michael. They carried him to the tent. "My number of patients is increasing daily. Soon I won't be able to take care of them all."
"Well I'm fine now, but I still need the bandages," Claire said. Jack Smiled at her. Charlie was boiling mad. Claire wouldn't cheat on him, but then again, he did break up with her. Charlie wanted to punch Jack so bad, but then the doctor would be the patient. Charlie just left. He was on watch duty now anyway.
"I'll be back later," he called to Claire. Charlie sat in front of the wooden cage. He turned around and stared at Shannon. "Just get up I know your not sleeping. I also know that Walt stabbed you." Charlie was tapped on the shoulder. He turned around. There stood Walt, who was glaring at him. Walt moved his shirt so the sun was shining on it. Charlie was blinded. He knew Walt was holding a knife. "What the hell!" he jumped up.
"You shouldn't have said that," Walt had the glow rising in his eyes again. Charlie stood up poised, ready to run. Shannon stood up behind Charlie. Shannon was put in such a an isolated place, no one saw the cage and Shannon rise. Shannon pulled a knife out of her pocket. She held it in front of her and went to Charlie's side, just out of his vision. Walt smiled and pulled out his knife.
"you're going to kill me," Charlie said. Walt just smiled, the glow growing brighter. Charlie turned to his side and ran, right into Shannon's knife.
