Ok I keep putting dashes to separate everything but it's not coming out!!... So just expect a change of scenes if you randomnly see different characters and if there are no dividers.
Jack stormed from the tent; he was furious. Sayid was dead. And now, the other survivors were missing and he knew just who was the source of trouble. Racing past everyone, thoughts accumulated into his head.
What if everyone else is dead? Ohh.. it's my fault. Damn it. Stupid Kate and her stupid lies. Have to get to the bottom of that too. But wait!.. Jack stopped abruptly in the middle of nowhere. How the hell would he know where The Others were?
To his luck, Sun had been chasing him this whole time.
"Jack! Jack!"
Jack turned around, confused at the bewilderment on Sun's face.
"I didn't tell you this before, but I found a bottle. And now that I have thought about it, I'm sure it will guide you."
"What are you talking about?"
Sun smiled, glad that she had come across the worthy item. "The bottom."
Jack turned the bottle upside down and saw the numbers. "These are the numbers Hurley was talking about the day we blew up the hatch!.. Sun, that's a lead, but trust me, it's not gonna help me with what I need to do now."
"No, Jack, you're not understanding me," said Sun in the voice that always seemed to calm down those around her. "Those numbers.. I saw them carved, somewhere else. On a tree. And behind the tree.." At this Sun's eyes glowed. "Behind the tree, there's another hatch!"
Jack gripped Sun's arms disbelievingly. "It's funny but I'm kinda glad you wondered around the forest in areas I told you not to!" Jack said, getting a playful look in his eyes for just a split second. His eyes quickly spelled out adventure, and with that, Sun and Jack ran into the forest, Sun leading the way.
"So how'd you two manage to get yourselves into this fuss anyhow?" said Charlie.
Shannon turned. At this, her heart fumbled.
Can't tell the truth, can't tell the truth. The words just flickered on and off in her mind.
"Well, I found Walt while, you know, just exploring the forest. I told him to get back to camp and that he shouldn't just like, be walking around in scary places, you know? We kind of got lost and well some guys who really needed a shower by the way, just kinda took us into here."
"Oh, I see," Charlie nodded.
At least I did tell the truth, even if I didn't explain the entire situation.
Claire looked around at Walt. The four were sitting against the wall of a room after running out of ideas and Walt had managed to remain quiet the whole time.
"Walt... you ok?"
Walt turned. "Oh, um..yeah."
Claire did not like the look that Shannon had given Walt right at that moment. It made her shudder. Something's just not right about Shannon. And I'm going to figure it out.
Jack and Sun had made it to the tree in record time and before they knew it, they found themselves emerged in a tiny little underground.. place.
Jack couldn't call it anything, it wasn't like anything he had ever seen before. It was a sort of chamber, but there were weird beeps that gave it an aura of technological advances. Sure enough, an alarm greeted them as they turned into a hallway.
"Quick, duck!"
Jack and Sun hid behind a huge garbage bin as a man came ambling down the hallway. From what Jack could see, it was one of The Others, with the distinguished pale brown/green cloth he was covered in. The man seemed not to give much care in finding the intruder because nothing exciting ever did happen, and apparently nor did he ever think it would.
Sun had been pressed up against Jack because of the tiny space that hadn't allowed them to really breathe.She could feel some heat rising to her face as she lifted her hands off from Jack's chest and turned away.
Jack hadn't noticed Sun's embarrassment; he was only concerned for her and his safety.
As soon as he was sure the other man had walked away, Jack motioned Sun to follow her. They walked quickly down the stone passageway, making as little noise as possible.
Suddenly Jack thought he had seen some people in a room.. he did a double take, accidentally bumping into Sun ("Oh sorry, Sun, didn't see you there!") and saw Claire, Charlie, Shannon, and Walt.
"Oh shit!" muttered Jack under his breath.
"What's going on?" Sun hushed, an apparent tone of concern rising.
"Sayid's murderer is in there with them three!"
Sun looked into the small glass window that was carved into the door of the room. Charlie's a murderer? Since when did the rockstar turn to killing?
Jack caught Sun's confused gaze. "I meant Shannon," he said resentfully, as if he wished the statement weren't true.
Looking at both sides of the passageway, Jack turned the door. It wouldn't budge!
Quickly, Charlie turned towards the noise the door had made, causing the others to follow his rapid motion, and saw Jack and Sun! He knew Jack would come! He had just known it, and it would have only been a matter of time.
Charlie ran to the door and tried to push it open, but the damn thing wouldn't even move an inch. He grabbed the chair in the room, motioned for Jack and Sun to move aside, and knocked down the thing instead. Charlie gaped as the door tumbled down so easily. He quickly closed his mouth and simply smiled, hoping Claire had thought he was a really strong man.
An alarm sounded, and all six ran away, ran out the chamber, out of the entryway of the tree, and into the forest.
The man who had been inspecting the passageway before had been sent by Henry to check upon the noise, and upon seeing six souls leaving the place, returned to Henry and stated "Six people escaped."
Henry grabbed the man, pulling his hair, and moaned. "My prisonerssss!!..."
The six ran a good distance before Jack stopped.
"Alright guys, we're gonna stop for now, and get us some water."
A stream ran by their side and Jack stooped and splashed his face with the icy element, shaking his head carelessly. The others did the same since they were just as tired.
"Alright, alright. Now, one of us here is a murderer."
Sun gulped. Everyone stared at each other in disbelief.
"Jack, what's the meaning of all this?" yelled Charlie, roughly.
"One of us six is a murderer." He looked around the group, eyeing Shannon quickly. "No one wanna confess? Alright, lets get specific. One of us killed Sayid."
Shannon broke down. "It was me, it was me! I can't take it anymore, please! I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't!"
Jack glared at her angrily, the fury rising to his faces. The temples on his head were throbbing and it seemed as if the cool water could not do anything for the temper that rose within him.
Walt looked at Jack. "She didn't.. well not on purpose.." he said quietly, stepping up.
"Walt, you don't have to stand up for her.."
"No Jack, she.. it was a mistake!" he yelled out with conviction. He gulped and continued. "We saw this polar bear in the woods.. and, and, Sayid ran to wrestle it. It was huge! (At this he stretched out his arms) But.. but that's when Shannon picked up the thing Sayid with him, I think it was a knife, and threw it. Only, it hit Sayid. It hit Sayid.." Walt broke down into tears, no longer able to hold his composure.
Claire reached out to the little boy and hugged him, her eyes closing with sorrow. Charlie didn't know what to make of the mess he had just heard and what he was now witnessing.
Shannon was now down on her knees, throwing her hands against the ground and weeping ferociously. "Sayid.. oh.. Sayid!" she screamed, her head falling back.
Jack ran to Shannon and just hugged her. He regretted everything that he had accused her of and the guilty feelings just splashed into him as her tears touched his face. "I'm so sorry Shannon, I'm so sorry," he managed to get out, touching Shannon's hair in his hands. "It will all be ok, I promise, it will all be ok."
