A/N: Hey everyone this is my first LOST story and I'm proud of it. Takes place three years before the first episode. Shannon's dad is still alive.

Chapter 3: Treking To...

She had been walking in the same direction for hours with only the moon as a source of light. No one and nothing was in sight for miles, nothing, but trees, trees, and more trees. The ground was riddled with roots, laced with vines and fallen branches. Shannon was lucky that her feet hadn't got stuck yet thus far; she prayed they didn't either. It would be a bitch to get out of.

Shannon held onto the bark of a tree as she scaled a large root to another. She didn't want to fall into nature's own natural debris below. She was intent about getting herself the hell out of the damn forest as soon as possible, cause who knows if she was going in circles or not.

" Dammit! I knew I should have worn flats, but no! Fucking Sabrina puts in a suggestion and my father eats it right up."

Shannon stopped. She stopped her ranting and raving in favor of not moving and listening. She thought she heard something. She shook her head before taking a step forward. She heard it again. It was a tune. It was familiar and it was coming from behind her. She turned and saw that a bush was lighting up. Again the tune played. It was the tune to Boone's favorite song that he just had to annoy her with on his new... cellphone.

She scrambled down into the mess of branches and vines below and fought to turn around completely. She had to get to that phone before it stopped ringing. She needed to call for help. A search and rescue team, anybody to help her and Boone. Shannon pulled and pulled at the sticks in her way, climbed over the branches and tore at the vines. She was almost there. She could see the light in the bush much easier now, she was almost there only for it to stop ringing and everything became enveloped by the night once more.

" No, No, NO! Fuck! Why? Why, Why, Why?" Shannon screeched. " This is fucking shit." She waded her way through the darkness and towards the bushes in front of her. She was going to find that phone, one way or another. Once she reached the bushes she knelt down into the debris, causing the branches to cut into the soft ivory skin of her legs.

" Ow." She said, wincing at every movement she made in her search for the phone. " Ow..ow..ow..ow." She stopped her search and let out a shuddering breath. She knew she'd have to brave through the pain if she wanted that phone. So she took a deep breath and dived forward into the bush, crying out as the bush ripped into the skin of her arms. Shannon raged through the pain and dug herself through the sharp pointed leaves of the bush.

She didn't know how much longer she could go on, she was about to give up when he hand grazed across something sleek, something made of a hard plastic. Shannon's eyes were wide, she couldn't believe it. She had found the phone, she had found it. Now she only had to lean forward just a bit to reach it.

" Come on... almost there. You can do it Shannon, you almost have it." She heard behind her. She tilted forward a bit more and grabbed up the phone quickly into her hand and retracted her hand from the bush as quickly as she could. It resulted in a few more cuts on her arms, but they weren't too deep.

" Boone? Boone, is that you? Are you there? BOONE?"

She waited in the darkness for an answer, but received none. " Boone, where are you?" She whispered, wrapping her arms around herself. She went to sit down in the mess when she heard it. She heard the voice again, his voice again telling her to get up and get back up on the roots of the tall trees. She thought she was going crazy when she listened to the motivating voice and got back up on the roots.

" Now head left Shannon. Head left." The voice commanded. She went left. Shannon didn't know why she was listening, but she knew she had to be going crazy as she once again went back to scaling the roots.

S&B

It was nearing sunrise when Shannon found it. It was a small secluded cabin in the forest. She smiled. She was one step closer to getting help, finding Boone and getting the hell out of nature central. She jumped down from the last root, glancing around.

" Hello? Anybody here? Hello?"

Shannon took a few hesitated steps forward towards the ram-shackled cabin before stopping to a halt. She couldn't go up there, who knows who or what could be in there.

" Go on, no ones home." She heard his voice resounding in her head again. She thought she was definitely going crazy, insane even for listening to this imaginary voice so far. Now it wanted her to go into some rundown cabin and possibly get murdered. No way. Don't think so. " Shan... go on. No ones home." The voice urged her to move and move she did.

What am I thinking? Why am I moving towards this cabin? Who knows what could be in there or who... maybe Boone is in there... maybe that is what the voice is trying to tell me.

Shannon raced herself all the way up to the front door and busted in without hesitation, calling out her brothers name. " Boone! Boone, are you here? Please tell me your here, Boone!"

She paid no attention to her surroundings much as she checked each room quickly for signs of life. There were none she realized. No humans, animals, or creatures of any kind. " Dammit, Boone! Where can you be?" She collapsed against the wall in front of her and fell to her knees in despair.
