I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE SHOW LOST!


Live Together, Die Alone

A blanket of darkness was slowly covering the castaways, as the sun began to set. The injured, the lonely, and the bewildered, were trying to draw in the last moments of light the day bestowed upon them. They lay their heads down trying to forget the horrible memories that would haunt them for the rest of their lives. They knew they would have no dreams tonight, for all their thoughts would be infested by nightmares.

The new inhabitants of the mysterious island began waking up about mid-morning. Travis woke up earlier that morning just as the island was waking up, and coming to life. As he lay there, in the exact position he slept, he could hear the muffled sounds of the jungle; birds, insects, and many exotic animals wake from their slumber. He stood up and stretched, looking back about the island, just as the sun was rising over the towering mountains giving them an eerie glow. He walked down to the beach, looking down at the water, and sitting on the sand. He sat there gazing down at the crystal-blue water admiring its beauty. The island was beautiful, but he couldn't shake the feeling that this island was hiding a dark secret. It was the feeling of great apprehension.

He sat there dwelling on what was going to happen next. Scott came up from behind him, looking down asking Travis, "What will we do next."

Travis is starring out into the ocean trying to think of the best way to approach the situation. He starts to say something, but stops. He continues to think and realizes these people are looking up to him. He says, "Start building shelter, and then we must find water, and try to gather food." Travis stood up and turned around looking at everybody. Travis could see people in bad shape. They either were badly injured or with looks of fear in their eyes. He glanced down at the beach and noticed there were dead body's washed up on shore. He quickly looked away, he would take care of that later.

Travis was trying to think of ways of contacting any ship or plane that may be out, searching for their ship. He looked back at the group of survivors saying, "Does anybody have a cell phone or some kind technology to get help?" Everybody was looking at Travis scared shaking their head no. One person said they do but doesn't have any service. Travis thinking that it was Alltel. Travis continued to look into their broken eyes. They were eyes that no longer had hope or desire of being found. He knew he needed to give them hope, so he started talking. "It's been 24 hours and we're all still waiting. Waiting for someone to come. But what if they don't? We have to stop waiting. We need to start figuring things out. We can't do this. Everyman for himself is not going to work. It's time to start organizing. We need to figure out how we're going to survive here. There is bound to be fresh water here. We can take a group in at first light. If you don't want to go then find another way to contribute. Yesterday most of us were strangers, but we're all here now. And god knows how long we're going to be here. But if we can't live together, we're going to die alone."

Travis starts walking away into the jungle with his head down low with Damon following.

Scott stood on the beach to check on other people who were hurt. He went up to this one woman who looked very young, she looked to be around her early twenties. Scott asked who she was. She said her name was Amy. Scott was looking at her right arm. The arm was black and blue from the shoulder to her wrist. Scott was asking what happened and she said that when the ship was shifting all over the place she smacked into the railing on the ship on the outside. Scott not knowing what to do asked if anybody could help. All of a sudden Chad (Amy's abusive boyfriend) came up from behind Scott, pushing him into the sand. Scott looked up at him not knowing who he was, but guessing it was a spouse of hers. Chad, yelling at Scott saying, "She doesn't need any help she is fine!" Scott getting up saying look at her, her arm is black and blue.

Amy saying, "Chad let me do what I want to decide!" Chad was giving Amy a nasty look of anger. Chad walking really fasts towards her, holding a hand up high, Amy screaming trying to get up. Slashing her across the side of her face. The intensity of the smack makes her stumble to the ground. Scott was running after Chad tackling him from behind. Chad hits Scott in the face. Scott kept punching Chad in the ribs. Back and forth fighting on the ground throwing punches at each other. Finally Scott gets up, kicking Chad in the ribs numerous times. When Scott stopped he yelled loudly and out of anger, "Do not lay a hand on her ever again or no other girl." Chad laid on the ground as if he were dead. Scott went to Amy asking if she was all right. Amy shaking her head yes and having a tear going down on the side of her cheek. She had a huge red mark on the side of her face. Scott was asking anybody who could help her with her right arm injury. One of the people from the cruise ship said yes. Her name was Joanna; she was a registered nurse from Garfield Hospital in Ohio. Scott with a relief look on his face saying thank you to her. Joanna said no problem I do this for a living after working at a nursing home. Scott had a smirk on his face.

Travis came back from the jungle with five people behind him. They were all carrying wood logs and a lot of leaves. Travis said, "We need to build a fire." Russell (Scott and Travis's Dad) said I would help build the shelter if everybody else will join in on doing something to help out. Sarah said I would to grab fruits from the trees. Another person said they would help with the shelter. Another person named "Will" the same guy who gave Travis a nasty look, said that he would try to catch a wart hog. People with expressions their faces thinking that this guy would never catch one in a million years. Travis looks at him saying "What ever, go ahead and waste your time catching one of those by yourself with no weapon, but sticks". People started laughing, as Will was walking away into the forest.

Russell and others along with Scott and Travis were putting up logs. They put up the logs as if it were a teepee. Donnie, wanted to help with the logs to build shelter. He went over trying to pick up one of the logs having a hard time. Travis walks towards him not knowing who the little boy was and says no. Travis asked who he was and where was his mom (hoping that she was one of the survivors and not dead). Donnie said her name is Sarah. Travis thinking who she was and then realized that it was the fruit pickers son. Donnie with a sad cute look on his face with the lips sticking out wanting to join them as men. Travis couldn't take the little cute face any longer and letting him help them. Donnie got excited picking up the logs with Travis one by one, feeling so proud of himself. Sarah was picking a lot fruit with other woman helping her. She realized her son Donnie wasn't around and then called for him. Donnie ran over all sweaty from picking up logs. Sarah not knowing what he was doing and said why don't you help mommy with the fruit. Donnie said ok mom. As Sarah was picking all kinds of fruit, Donnie ran off into the deeper side of the jungle.

As Donnie was running off, he ran into Will. Will had a dead carcass in his hands of a wart hog. Donnie freaked out about it and says to him "wow you are weird". Will went over towards Donnie grabbing Donnie by the collar. Donnie wanting help but nobody could hear him. Will finally puts him down. Will started talking to Donnie. He was threatening Donnie. Donnie was really scared but couldn't get away. Donnie tries to escape. Will came up from behind and shoved him down on the ground. Seeing Will with anger through his eyes, you could see fire wanting to come out. All of a sudden Will picks up Donnie nicely as if nothing happened. Donnie still freaked out, Will was then talking to him nicely. Will was saying "Donnie I really enjoy your company for coming out here". Donnie still freaked out. Will started talking to him as if it was his own kid. Donnie then getting influenced by the man who almost killed him. Donnie started looking up to Will as if it was his father. Will knowing that this kid is looking up to him and believing what ever he was saying, Will knew that he was saying and teaching the kid the wrong things. Will and Donnie were both lost in the jungle.

Sarah started looking around for Donnie. She was flipping out and scared to death asking everybody if they know where he was. Travis saw Sarah scared and said that he would go into the jungle to find him. Sarah started thinking that maybe he is with Will (thinking that he was a good person). Travis gave her a funny look saying that he would never trust that guy if he was the last man on earth. Travis told Scott to stay with the people on the beach. Travis went out to go find Will and Donnie, but mostly for Donnie. As Travis was going into the jungle he looked at the water, seeing the reflection of the beautiful sunset. He then went on his way to find Donnie with Damon following.
