"Well you have succeeded in keeping out of trouble for four days, thank god for that" Jack grinned as the two sat around the no dying out fire. It was late into the night and all the other camp members were asleep.

"Hey don't jinx it okay" Ana laughed as she downed the tequila bottle in her hands and tossed the glass into the fire.

"I'm not jinxing anything" Jack said back his hands up in mock defeat. "I just can't understand why you are so prone to trouble you know, you're a magnet to danger" Jack laughed at her as he thought of the times where she would find trouble thought many of them made him shudder.

"I guess I have one of those faces" she said as she turned her head to look up at Jack who she was leaning against. His hands were wound loosely around her waist and his head on her shoulder. "If I'm a magnet to danger then does that mean you're dangerous" she laughed and he pouted childlike.

"Nah I don't think so bu" he began but was cut off when a loud gunshot echoed through the trees and the two felt a bullet whizz past their ears. Jack instantly jumped on Ana shielding her body with his own.

"I told you you would jinx it" she muttered a getting a mouth full of sand. Slowly the two sat up and looked about but couldn't see anything in sight. Several of the camp members exited their shelters slowly fear filling their hearts.

Ana got to her feet and looked about when all of a sudden another gunshot was heard and a bullet went straight into the wood of the fire. Ana looked over to where the bullet had come from and shuddered as she saw several figures there all armed with guns.

"Everybody get to the other end of the beach now" she screamed her voice loud and filled with authority and before she could say anymore everyone was exiting their shelters and sprinting towards the other end. She grabbed Jack and pulled him along as they ran hastily across the beach.

Her heart raced as she heard several gunshots from behind them and more bullets flew past them. Ana fell onto the sand losing her footing and quickly recovered. Jack who hadn't noticed he had left her behind carried on running.

As she sprinted past Kate's tent she could see the woman huddled in there. With a quick jink she diverted into the tent breathing heavily.

"What the hell are you doing get up the beach now" she said gripping the girl tightly and pulling her to her feet. Why am I always saving her ass Ana thought as she looked at the brunette in shock.

Kate shook her head. "I can't my leg" she said her voice laced with fear as she clutched her ankle tightly. She hated not being able to do things on her own, she was good at surviving things and knew how to get out of certain situations but at the moment she knew she was completely helpless.

"Shit" Ana breathed knowing that now she was in trouble. The gunshots were getting closer and closer everytime. Suddenly someone else ran into the shelter behind her.

"What's going on in here, you do realise that those crazy bastards are shooting at us" Sawyer said as he clutched a gun tightly in his hand. His eyes flicked between the two woman wondering why in the hell they were still in the tent.

"Sawyer you're gonna have to carry Kate, give me the gun I'll cover you both" she said and snatched the gun off Sawyer cocking it. Sawyer gripped a hold of Kate tightly and slung her over his shoulder and ran out of the tent. Ana quickly followed turning to faced where the end of other's were.

She fired off several rounds and she instantly saw one of them fall to the ground howling in pain. She then span and ran off after the other two even more shots aiming at her. Deciding the only way she could avoid the bullets would be if she kept moving she began to zig zag making her a harder target to hit.

Jack turned and froze in shock as he realised Ana wasn't with him. "Ana" he called his voice filled with fear as his eyes scanned the dark beach for the woman. Charlie sprinted alongside him and gripped his arm pulling him along.

"What the hell do you think you're mate, trying to get yourself killed" Charlie yelled over the shots as he clung onto Jack dragging him along with him. He could feel Jack struggling under his grasp as he tried to move away and find Ana.

"I can't find Ana, leave me go, I have to find Ana" he said through gritted teeth trying to pull out of Charlie's grasp. He continued to thrash as hard as he could his eyes never leaving the beach as he searched and searched for the woman but through all the bodies sprinting past him he couldn't tell who was who.

"She's fine Jack, she's probably sprinted ahead of you, I've seen that girl run and she's bloody fast, now come on" he said and Jack reluctantly carried on running.

She flew her hand behind her and shot aimlessly at the other's hoping that it would scare them off but to no avail. Suddenly though Sawyer's grip on Kate dropped slightly as a bullet grazed his arm. "Ahh" he yelled but pushed himself to keep running none the less.

Jack finally stopped at the furthest end of the beach and turned to scan the area for Ana. And soon enough he found her stood pointing a gun at them and firing off rounds. He was about to run forward but Claire and Charlie held him back.

Ana turned and dived behind a near by rock using it to cover herself as the bullet's rained down on her. She could hear and see them bouncing off rock and she winced every time one did knowing that at any moment one could easily veer into her. Quickly she popped up from behind the rock and she fired off a shot and another one of them fell to the ground motionless. This seemed to stun them and they hastily retreated grabbing their wounded and heading back into the forest.

Ana slumped against the rock in exhaustion and breathed a sigh of relief and slowly got back to her feet and jogged over to where everyone else was.

Jack grabbed a hold of her instantly and pulled her tightly into him. "Are you a maniac" he scolded as he realized she could have killed herself. Why does she keep doing this to me he grumbled as the feeling of loss came over him again. If I lost her i don't know what I would do.

"Damn Rambina you can fire off a good few shots" Sawyer laughed next to her as he placed Kate back down onto the ground still holding on to the woman as to support her.

Jack looked away from her and noticed the chaos that was around them and he knew that right now his main priority was them " Look A few people have been hit by some bullets, nothing serious so I'm gonna help them out" Jack said as he looked at Ana placed a kiss on her head and sprinted to where one of the camp were clutching their leg in agony.

Ana looked at Sawyer and handed him his gun back. He took it and gingerly shoved it in his pocket. "Come on then cowboy let me sort your arm out" she said as she led him to one side grabbing some gauze bandages on the way.

"Oww" he winced as she dabbed some ointment onto his arm. Ana laughed at his reaction.

"Quit being such a baby cowboy, Christ your pain tolerance is even lower then a three year olds" she chuckled as she continued to wipe his arm clean clearing all the blood so she could now stitch up the cut.

Sawyer hissed through his teeth trying to stop himself from complaining again. "I'm no baby Muchacha" he said looking at her his eyes completely fixated on her work. "You should know that" he added cheekily thinking it would get a reaction out of her but she merely continued dabbing his arm.

"Oh yeah, Sawyer it's only a flesh wound you're gonna live, unfortunately" she said muttering the last part. Sawyer just looked at her eyebrows raised.

"Well that was a low blow Lucy" he said holding his other hand to his chest acting as if it hurt him. Ana just rolled her eyes at him and a small laugh came from Sawyer. "So what's happening with you and Dr Do Right these days" he asked deciding to quiz her on her relationship with Jack.

"We're just fine" she said simply wondering why he was even interested in what was going on with her. She grabbed the gauze bandage and began to wrap it tightly around Sawyer's arm purposely tightening it to cause him pain.

"Looks that way to me, getting frisky with the Doc in the hatch whilst waiting for Brutus to get back" he laughed but instantly stopped when the bandage around his arm was yanked hard and he hissed in pain. "Jesus you trying to break my arm off" he said as she continued to wrap the bandage around his arm.

"Oh I could do more then break your arm off" she said a smirk on her tanned face as she pinned the bandage into place. "There we are all done" and give it a light tap.

"Looks like I got my own little Dr Quinn now, you my private nurse" he continued to tease her knowing how awkward it was making her feel. Why does he do this Ana grumbled as she got to her feet.

"Shut up Sawyer" she said not really listening to him anymore. She had began to get use to his constant teasing and it didn't bother her like it used to.

"Where you going hot lips, I need some TLC now" he said smirking at her as she stood by the entrance of his shelter.

"Well I'll go and get Kate for you then" she said and walked out of the tent shaking her head at his nerve leaving a stunned Sawyer behind.

"I just can't understand why all of a sudden they've decided to attack us again" Jack muttered to the other's as they all stood around the table in the hatch.

"To show us that this is their island" Locke said from beside him running a hand across his chin. "I mean maybe they think we've made ourselves a little too comfortable" he finished his eyes scanning the several around the table.

"But how we've done nothing to upset them, we haven't gone near them" Ana said looking over at Sayid who was stood opposite her silently. He nodded his head in agreement at this and finally spoke.

"They're just trying to frighten us" Sayid said simply stating what was obvious. They really were reading way to much into the whole situation. "They thought we would have broken by now, that we would have fallen apart, but their plan of waiting didn't work" Sayid said simply looking around at everyone.

Ana and Jack nodded in agreement. "So what do we do now" Ana asked as she scanned the surrounding people.

"What if we scope them out, get some weapons and go and see if we can find out more about them" Sayid said leaning forward on the table.

"That's a death trap" Locke said completely against the idea. "Are you insane?".

"He's got a point Locke" Jack said looking at the older man. "The more we just hang around and do nothing then the easier targets we are in the long run, I'm in Sayid" Jack said turning to look at the Iraqi and nodded.

"Me too" Ana chipped in agreeing with what the two had said. "I'll go see if anyone else has an interest in joining us" she said and with that she turned and left the hatch quickly deciding it was better to catch people now.

"Hey Sawyer you up for a little adventure" Ana yelled over to the Southerner who was sat reading his book idly. Sawyer looked up and grinned placing the book down and pulling off his glasses.

"Depends if anyones joining us Lucy, if it's just me and you then I'm definitely in" he smirked sizing up the Latina in front of him.

"Luckily for me there's a few of us going, Jack, Sayid, Kate, Jin, Eko and a few more, so you in or out cowboy" Ana said crossing her arms defensively across her chest and staring at the blonde man.

"Oh how fun a jungle trek with Dr Giggles" Sawyer said rolling his eyes at the thought of Jack being there but suddenly a small smile came to his face. "Okay then I'm in, any opportunity to wind up ol' Jacko" he laughed jumping up to his feet and throwing his stuff into his tent.

"Well let's get going slim, time to see what's really in there" Ana said looking towards the forest a small flicker of nervousness edging it way onto her tanned face.

So another chapter up guys, hope you're enjoying everyone.
