A/N: Thanks to all the people who left the awesome reviews! I'm glad you liked chapter one. I'm trying to make my chapters longer, but I don't have a lot of time to write them up. Anyways, here's chapter two!
"There going to know were in here if you make that much noise!" Megan whispered to Sawyer. They had been in the vents for only a few minutes, and already Sawyer was complaining about how long it was taking. "Well, these things are small Blondie. I can barely crawl through here." Sawyer replied, quite loudly. "Shhhh! don't be so loud." She said. Jack and Kate had been completely silent this whole time, and she and Sawyer had been fighting most of the time. She could already tell she didn't like Sawyer that much and he kept calling her Blondie.
Suddenly, Jack stopped. "It's a dead end." He said. "Great! Now were stuck in the vents thanks to Blondie and the Doc!" Sawyer said. Then Jack started to bang on the end of the vent, trying to get out. "So much for not being noticed." Megan said to herself. Jack wouldn't stop banging on the vents, and she was surprised the others hadn't already come. Then, the end of the vent fell out, and sunlight filled the vent.
"There's not anyone outside…" Jack said, lowering himself from where they were, onto the ground. When Megan came down, she was surprised to see no others. The other two came out of the vent, and they moved carefully to the forest again. "That was too easy." Sawyer said. "The others are stupid for not guarding it." Just as he finished the sentence, a bullet blew past his head, barely missing it.
"Run!" Jack yelled, and took off through the woods with the rest if they close behind him. Bullets barely missed them from behind, and they ran. After a while, they heard no more gun shots being fired, but they still ran for quite a ways before finally stopping by a large waterfall. "Is everyone ok?" Jack asked when everyone had caught there breath. Everyone nodded except Kate who sat down by the edge of the waterfall.
"We should stay here for the night. It's starting to get dark." Jack said. "Sawyer and I will go and get firewood." With that, Sawyer and Jack started off in two separate directions in the woods to gather wood, while Megan and Kate were left alone. Megan really didn't know what to do, so she went and sat next too Kate. She hadn't even said one word this whole time to her. "So...hi." Megan said to Kate, who simply smiled.
"You don't talk much." Megan stated. Kate's smile faded slowly, and she looked off in the direction that Jack had gone. "The reason we came here was to get another survivors son, Walt." Kate said. "His dad, Michael, led us here. He ended up trading us for his son." "And you blame Jack for that because?" Megan said, not quite understanding. "Why do you think I blame Jack?" Kate asked. "Please, you won't even look at him." Megan laughed. Kate sighed, and looked towards the waterfall, not responding for a while. "He knew that Michael was with the others, and he still led us here. He didn't even tell us he had a plan with Sayid." Kate said finally. "He usually tells everyone everything."
Megan was still a little confused, but she decided to change the subject. "So where was you flight going to before it crashed?" "Australia." Kate said simply. "What were you doing in Australia?" Megan asked, but before Kate could answer a loud noise came from the jungle. "What was that? It sounded pretty close…" Megan said. Then Jack and Sawyer came running out of the woods. As they ran by, Jack grabbed Kate hand and pulled her up, still running, and Megan followed closely behind them.
They ran, dodging fallen logs and branches, trying not to trip. Then, they saw a vine tree in front of them, and Jack pulled Kate in. Megan also went into the tree, and she looked outside to see whatever it was that was out there. She glanced over at the other two once, and Jack was holding Kate protectively while watching outside. The noises died down, and whatever had been out there was gone.
"What the hell was that?" Megan asked, but the other two didn't answer. "Where's Sawyer?" Kate asked, as she got up. Megan hadn't even noticed that Sawyer wasn't with them until now. "He was behind me." Megan said. "Sawyer!" Kate yelled. "Don't do that Kate. The others are still looking for us. If they find out where we are…" Jack said, trailing off. "I don't care. We have to find Sawyer." Kate said, and started to backtrack through the jungle.
Megan followed Kate, and soon heard Jack's footsteps behind her. Megan didn't get it. Sawyer had been right behind her the whole time. He wouldn't have gone off in a different direction. What could have happened to him? Unless, whatever that thing was got him. It sounded pretty big, but she couldn't see it. Not that she had ever looked back.
It was still dark, and they were still looking. There had been no sign of Sawyer yet, and Jack hadn't wanted to waste the batteries of the flashlight. Megan was beginning to think Jack thought they were never going to find Sawyer. Kate wasn't giving up though. She didn't get it. Why couldn't Kate just accept that Sawyer was probably dead?
"Ouch!" A voice said through the darkness. "Sawyer?" Kate said, bending down next to a bush. Jack shined the flashlight, and sure enough there was Sawyer. Kate hugged him, and when she pulled away she asked "What the hell are you doing in a bush?" "I decided to sit down for a while and tie my shoes." Sawyer said sarcastically, and Kate rolled her eyes. "What do you think I was doing Freckles? I was hiding from that thing. Then you three go running off and leave me here." "Are you hurt?" Kate asked, and Sawyer shook his head. "I think we should set up camp now." Jack said, turning around. Kate and Sawyer got up, and they all went back to the vine tree where they had been hiding before. They all sat down, and decided not to have a fire. The others might have still been looking for them.
"So what was that thing in the woods?" Megan asked. "It didn't sound like anything I've ever heard." "Blondie, on this island, you don't know what anything is." Sawyer said. "All that I know, is the pilot got ripped apart by whatever it is." "How long were you in the others camp?" Kate asked. "I think I lost count around…day 42?" Megan said. "And that was a while ago. How long have you all been here sense the plane crashed?" "Too long." Jack replied. It had been the first thing he had said sense they had found Sawyer. "Aw, you're just jealous 'cause Freckles hugged me Doc." Sawyer smirked. "Shut up Sawyer." Kate said, and she lay down to go to sleep. Jack did the same, and then just Sawyer and Megan were up.
"Looks like it's just you and me, Blondie." Sawyer said. "Jack was jealous?" Megan asked. "Yeah Blondie. Jack-O and Freckles have had something going since day one, but everyone knows Freckles really likes me." Sawyer said with a smirk. Megan rolled her eyes. "I'm sure Sawyer."
"Well, she's already kissed me." Sawyer said, but Megan shook her head. "I'm serious Blondie!" Sawyer had left out the part where she had only kissed him to get the inhalers, but he thought Megan didn't have to know that. "Whatever Sawyer."
"So what's up with you and all these nicknames? You have one for me, Jack, Kate, and probably everyone else back at you camp. Anyone ever make up a nickname for you?" Megan asked. Sawyer's smile faded. "Yeah. She used to." He said. "Who?" He didn't answer for a while, so she lay down to go to sleep. "Ana-Lucia." Sawyer said, before also laying down. Megan decided not to press the subject. Sawyer didn't seem to want to talk about it.
Megan stayed up, just staring upwards. She was thinking about all this. Why hadn't the others come? When she had tried to escape, they had captured her within a few hours. She decided not to think about it to much. The others would probably catch them tomorrow. She closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
A/N: That's chapter two! I know, I know another short chapter. Next chapter is long though. You read the story, so why don't you leave a nice little review for me! Chapter three should be up soon!
