A/N: Glad you liked the last chapter! Yeah, it was a little harsh when Sayid punched her, but he was angry. Being tricked two times in a row isn't fun. Anyways, here is chapter 13!
As soon as they got back, everyone asked what had happened. They lied, just like Jack had said they should. They also told that they had, on the way back, found her brother's body. Megan was silent the whole time, and after they had told everything that had happened, everyone said they were sorry about her brother.
"Dude, I feel bad for you. Is there anything we can do for you?" Hurley asked. Megan shook her head. "No, I'm fine." She said. She went and sat on the beach, staring out at the sea, trying to clear her mind.

"You've never been to the caves, have you?" Charlie asked, coming up behind her. "Caves?" Megan asked. "Yeah. We all kind of came back here after the others. Not a lot of people at the caves now. It's where a;; the water comes from." Charlie explained.
"So, do you live at the caves?" Megan asked. "Not anymore...um...Ethan." Charlie said, but before Megan could ask, he went on. "Anyways, you want to see the caves?" Megan nodded, and they began walking. Hurley, Claire (with Aaron) joined them on the way, but Claire seemed hesitant about going there.
They joked around most of the way, but about half way there, they heard something. Everyone quieted down, and Megan went to see what it was. "Dude, be careful. We don't know what it is…" Hurley said.
"That is disgusting…" Megan said. Locke was sitting, cutting open a rat. "What are you going to do with that?" She asked. "Eat it." Locke said simply. Hurley, Charlie and Claire came out, and starred at the rat. "Dude, that's gross." Hurley said.
"Your all heading to the caves, I'm guessing?" Locke said, and Megan nodded. "Then be careful…you don't know what you're going to see around here." He said. Megan nodded again, and they began to walk again.
"He's really weird." Megan said. "Yeah, but he kills the boar for us, so…" Charlie said. "But, what did he mean about be careful?" Megan asked, and everyone shrugged. "Who knows, but I would listen to him." Claire said.

"Wow." Megan said. They had just gotten to the caves, and it was amazing, but there weren't a lot of people there. "Jack used to live here, but with the injured people and stuff he hasn't gotten a chance to come back." Charlie said.
"So how did you guys find this place?" Megan asked. "Jack did. One of the first days we came to the caves there was a cave-in. Jack got trapped in it." Charlie said. "How'd you get him out?" Megan asked.
"Charlie went in and they found a way out. The rest of us were digging, trying to get through again. Kate almost killed herself, digging so much." Hurley said. "We couldn't even get her to take a break. Michael checked the rest of the caves though, and they were fine though."
Megan nodded. She hadn't heard a lot about Michael, but she knew he was the one that had gotten Jack, Sawyer and Kate captured. Someone had also said that he had had a son about her age. She tried to think back to the others camp, to try to remember if she had seen him. Once in the room she had seen another kid…a boy. She wondered if that was him.
"We also found some bodies. A man and a woman. They were here before us." Charlie said. Megan nodded. "It seems like there were a lot of people here before us. In the place that I crashed, there was a graveyard. A lot of people were buried there. I don't know if it was the others' or another crash…" She said.
Claire nodded. "A lot of people have been here. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else crashed here soon."

"What's going on?" Megan asked. They had just gotten back to the beach, and everyone was crowded around a spot on the beach. "I don't know…lets go see." Charlie said. The walked over to where everyone was, and she saw what the big deal was.
There was someone lying on the beach. A guy, that looked about Megan's age, but he was unconscious, and Megan had never seen him here before. "What's going on?" Megan asked Kate. "He just came running out of the jungle. He said something about a crash."
Megan looked down at him. He had bushy brown hair, and his cloths looked as if he had just been attacked by the monster. Only he wasn't bleeding. He just looked tired. "Is he going to be ok?" Claire asked Jack. Jack shook his head. "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him. He's probably just dehydrated. Help me get him to the tent." Jack told Sayid.
They took the guy to the tent, and the group went to what they were doing before, whispering to each other. "Great. Now were going to have another kid around here." Sawyer said. "As if Blondie and the baby weren't enough."
Megan shook her head. "Whatever Sawyer." She said, and walked away. She hadn't talked to anyone her age in a long time, so she was looking forward to talking to the other person.
Space
Megan sat staring out at the sea. She always did that when she was thinking. The waves always clamed her, and not a lot of people disturbed her while she was there.
"Hey." A voice said from behind her. She looked back to see the guy that had come before. "Mind if I sit down?" He asked. "Go ahead." Megan said, and he sat down next to her. "So, we're the only kids here?" He asked. "Besides the baby, yeah. What's your name?" Megan asked. "I'm Josh. I know that your Megan already. A lot of people have told me about you. They said you were with the others for a while too. That must have been bad."
"Yeah." Megan said. "But it's really cool here on the beach." They sat there and talked for a long time, about what happened to them on the island, and what there life was like before the island. By the time Josh had gone, it was late in the afternoon. Josh had seemed really nice, and reminded her a lot of Keith. She wondered how it would be around the fires that night.
A/N: So, there is a new character in the story! Hope you like this chapter. The next chapter will be about what happens around the fires, and how Josh meet everyone there and stuff. Anyways, review!
