A/N: OKay, another chapter for this since I think you deserve one. Sorry for the slowness of it all, but I'm not getting any ideas. If you have any it would be very helpful and I would be grateful.
Disclaimer: I don't own Lost or any of it's characters and I also don't own half of this chapter...it has a quarter of the script from Walkabout.
Everyone sat around the campfire, nervously glancing at each other. Kate and Sawyer were comfortable sitting next to each other, but everyone was slightly spaced out, even the two Koreans who seemed to be married. They all sat in silence, watching the fire as it made popping noises.
"Anyone wanna play charades?" Sawyer muttered to Kate, making her laugh.
The other survivors looked at her and she stopped laughing, blushing slightly.
"Are we gonna die?" A girl called Shannon asked but nobody answered, not exactly knowing what to say.
"Come on everyone…I think it's time for bed," Jack said, and everyone muttered responses, getting up and heading for a spot to sleep on.
Kate and Sawyer stayed where they were, still watching the fire. Suddenly a roar erupted from the jungle, making everyone stop. They all turned, Kate and Sawyer standing up and facing the jungle. Another roar was heard and a rustle of the trees and then a thud, as trees fell.
"What was that?" Shannon asked worriedly
"Was that normal?" Charlie asked
"Don't worry about it…come on," Jack said and they all turned, giving the jungle nervous glances as they walked
Kate and Sawyer didn't sleep that night; they kept the fire going and watched the horizon, waiting for rescue. When the sun started rising they watched it in awe, but people started waking up, so they didn't have time to look much. Kate's leg was mildly better, and she could walk around with a limp, so she decided to find the discarded luggage and started to fold the clothes, stacking them into one suitcase so they could use the other for something else.
People started gathering fire wood, using a discarded wheelchair to carry it. A lot of people were wary of the jungle and wouldn't go near it, but Sayid and Jack led groups in to find water and food but mostly came back with fruit and no water.
"We're gonna die aren't we?" Shannon asked her brother.
"No…we'll find something," Boone said and Shannon scoffed
Vincent barked and Walt ran over to him, looking at something he had dropped in the sand. It was a dead bird, and Shannon shuddered.
"I hope we don't have to eat that," she said disgustedly and Boone laughed
Claire was sitting with Kate, folding the clothes with her, having nothing else to do. They talked about their lives while working, but Kate managed to leave out the part where she blew up her father and was on the run. She had found Edwards body a few days ago, lying dead in the sand. She walked away, not wanting to see his face again.
(Night – over a couple of days A/N….we're about Walkabout now, but it doesn't really matter, after this I'm not keeping the storyline at all….well, maybe a little.
Everyone stood around, starting to get to know each other better, until there was a noise from the plane.
"What was that?" Kate asked, looking around
"Somebody's in there!" Claire said worriedly
"Everyone in there's dead," Sayid said
"Sawyer," Jack commented but there was a grunt behind him
"Right behind you, Jackass" Sawyer said and Kate looked over at him sympathetically.
Jack pulled a small flashlight out and headed for the plane, but Sawyer looked at Kate and sighed, walking over with a big flashlight.
"Jack?" Kate asked
Jack shone the small light around, but couldn't see anything.
"I'm gonna shed some light on this thing," Sawyer said, clicking on the flashlight.
It showed some sort of animal, trying to turn around,
"Run!" Jack yelled and they started backing up, finally turning and running once the animal had turned.
"Oh crud…now what?" Hurley asked, turning
Sayid grabbed onto Claire, helping her out of the way, Boone grabbed Shannon's hand, pulling her away, Jin shouted at his wife to move and Sawyer grabbed Kate around the waist, pulling her to the side. He tripped over Charlie, who stumbled and fell but was quickly helped up by Jack. They all watched the three boar run into the jungle.
"They're gone," Sayid stated and everyone sighed in relief.
"What the bloody hell was that?" Charlie asked and the bald man stood up.
"Boars," he said casually, putting one foot up on a small, white suitcase
Everyone looked over at him but soon returned to their jobs, while Sayid and Jack had a quiet conversation.
"We've eaten the last of the food…there's nothing left," Sayid said but Shannon overheard them
"What?" she asked, causing people to look over at her, "What do you mean, no more food?"
There were some frightened gasped and Jack sighed.
"Okay everybody, just calm down," Jack said, his hands up.
"We can find food, there are plenty of things on this island we can use for sustenance." Sayid said, looking around,
"And exactly how are we going to find this sustenance?" Sawyer asked, collapsing into an airplane seat.
Suddenly Locke threw a knife straight at the chair, hitting the seat next to Sawyer's and causing everyone to turn to face him.
"We hunt," he said, looking around at everyone.
Jack picked up the knife, inspecting it.
"How'd you get that knife on the plane?" Kate asked, a little shocked.
"Checked it," Locke said
"You either have very good aim," he said handing the knife back to Locke and looking back a Sawyer briefly before continuing. "Or very bad aim,"
"So, how does this include food?" Shannon asked
"We know there are wild boar on the island. Razorbacks, by the look of them. The one's that came into the camp last night were piglets, 100, 150 pounds each. Which means that there's a mother nearby. A 250 pound rat, with scimitar-like tusks, and a surly disposition, who'd love nothing more than to eviscerate anything that comes near. Boar's usual mode of attack is to circle around and charge from behind so I figure it'll take at least three of us to distract her long enough for me to flank one of the piglets, pin it, and slit it's throat." Locke said, leaving people looked startled,
"And you gave him his knife back?" Sawyer asked Jack
"Well, if you've got a better idea?" Jack started but Sawyer interrupted
"Better than the three of you wandering into the magic forest to bag a hunk of ham with nothing but a little bitty hunting knife? Hell no, it's the best idea I ever heard." Sawyer said sarcastically.
Locke lifted his foot off of the white suitcase and opened it, revealing many knifes stashed into it.
"Who is this guy?" Hurley asked and the other looked at the case in shock.
