Part 4

(Sawyer)

It's already dark and we've yet to find anything. At least four hours we've been searching and I haven't found anything. Not a trace and its making me angry. This is all my fault, if I hadn't pissed her off she wouldn't have taken off like that. How could I be so stupid? But, then again I'm not the brightest star in the sky.

I keep a firm grip on my torch as I continue to creep through the jungle with Muhammad and Freckles hot on my heels. They have tried to talk to me but I don't want to talk. All I want is to do is find my daughter and bring them back safely to the beach.

"Sawyer…" I was brought out of my thoughts by Kate.

I stopped and turned around to face them. She has a look of concern on her face. I rolled my eyes; I don't want pity. I want to find them.

"We need to make camp and get some rest." She says quietly.

"Freckles I don't want rest." I state; turning around and continue walking.

"I agree we need to get some sleep and we can continue our search in the morning; when there is light." Sayid throws in.

I growl and stop in my tracks. I know they aren't going to stop so I let defeat take over me and I throw my pack on the ground. I sat down with a sigh and find my water bottle. I take a gulp and wipe my mouth with the back of my hand; while I throw a mean scowl to the entire jungle around me.

Again, I'm brought out of my trance by Kate. She sits down next to me and stares ahead just like me.

"We're going to find her you know." She says lowly.

"Yeah…" Is all I can say.

I lay down using my backpack as a pillow and finally let the exhaustion release from my body as I fall into a deep slumber.

Waking up the next morning was no treat because the fact still remains that my daughter and her mother are missing and possible in the hands of the others. I groan and rollover; finding Kate's back to me; she's still sleeping heavily. I stretch and stand up and walk into the jungle to empty my bladder. Returning I find Sayid coming into view; he is carrying a sack of fruit and our water bottles. I mumble a thanks and retrieve my own bottle to drink away the morning breath.

"We should head out soon." Sayid said with a nod.

I agreed and walked a few steps over to Kate. I shook her shoulders lightly until she began to stir. Stopping; I waited until she was fully awake. She gave me a sleepy smile but that quickly turned upside down when she saw my expression; it was grim. She sighed and stood up stretching out her sore muscles.

Fifteen minutes later we started our journey once again through the jungle. My mind drifts off to Raquel; her curly hair; deep blue eyes and those faint dimples that only appear when she makes funny faces. I catch myself smiling and I quickly scowl so they can't see me. I drift off once again and remember my limited amount of time with her. I remember when we splashed in the pond and she said da da. That day will forever, be stuck in my head.

We're just walking through the jungle but we come to a abrupt halt when we hear a loud screech. I wince at the sound and look around trying to find the source. Again; a loud screech. I'm looking around trying to find where it's coming from; I feel myself bring drug along the jungle floor. I look and see Kate dragging me by my arm. She must've yelled run but, I didn't hear a thing. Finally I figure out what is truly happening.

It's that damn bird; it's prowling around and apparently wants to eat us for dinner. We're now standing in between a patch of small trees waiting for that thing to disappear. A few minutes later it turns quiet and Sayid leaves and checks it out; he nods and Freckles and I exit.

We just kind of stand there for a few minutes trying to get everything together. Once we've caught our breath and our heart beats are back to normal we continue our search as if nothing happened.

Still no sign of Ana-Lulu or my daughter.
