A/N: Thanks for the reviews! This is the first part of my double update! I'm changing Claire's character a bit, so that way she gets stronger!

Chapter 11: Practice Makes Perfect

"Hurley! Mind if we join you?" Charlie asked holding Aaron.

"Thanks dudes." Hurley smiled.

Charlie sat down next to his friend, Aaron still in his arms. "How are you feeling?"

"I think I'm better. So much stuff has happened to us. I feel like it's my fault."

"Hurley, you didn't do anything to cause this. We have to focus on getting them back. Nobody blames you. You made it back and we'll get them."

"Thanks man." Hurley looked at Aaron. "Hey, where's Claire?"

"She decided to go talk with Locke about Jack. I still can't believe their siblings."

"I know. It's mind blowing." Hurley added.

------------------------------------------------

"Just invision the target in your mind." Locke told Claire.

She was holding a handgun in her right hand. 4 targets were set up, made with empty Dharma jars. The two of them were out pretty far in the jungle, so no one would hear. Claire closed her eyes and focused her mind on a jar. The image of hitting it came. She lifted her arm and aimed, with eyes open.

"Fire!" Locke ordered.

BOOM! The jar burst as Claire shot it. Locke was amazed at her accuracy, and was reminded of Walt with the knives.

"Good job! Especially for your first time. You sure you never used a gun?" He joked.

A smile came to her face. "Never."

"Ok. I want you to hit the next one. Just like before."

She nodded and aimed.

BOOM! The next jar exploded again. However, someone spotted them.

"What is going on?" Sayid asked finding them. He saw the blonde with the gun. The sight shocking him. "Claire?"

She placed the gun down and walked over to the solider. "I'm training. I' coming with you guys when we go to rescue them."

"You can't Claire. John, haven't you tried to explain…" He was interrupted.

"No one is changing my mind. They took me before and Jack, Kate, and Sawyer were just a part of the group trying to find me. These people are band and we have to stop them. They were going to kill me and take my son." Claire explained. "That's when Alex helped me escape."

Sayid had no idea about what had happened to her and was startled. "Danielle's Alex?"

"Yes." Claire continued. "Now, they have 3 of our strongest leaders. God knows what they are doing to them. We HAVE to get Sawyer, Kate, and my brother back!"

"Your brother?" Sayid eyes grew wide. He looked at Locke who nodded. "Jack?"

"I found out yesterday. Jack had some of our dad's belongings. Dad had pictures of Jack and me when we were little. Jack had no idea about me." Claire explained.

Sayid's thoughts went to what Jack said at Ana and Libby's funerals. "My father died in Australia. That's why I was on the plane." Things were making sense. Jack's father must have been trying to find Claire. Sayid would have said something, but he figured it wasn't his place to tell her. It was Jack's.

"Can I come now?" Claire asked as her eyes were tearing up.

Sayid looked from Locke to Claire. "Train some more. Make sure Sun watches Aaron. We're leaving in 3 days for The Flame."
