During the next day she did the final touches to the things she created for Claire she then went for a walk just to bump into Boone who looked at her once and pushed her while accusing her in front of most of the survivors "How is it you don't seem to be dehydrated at all. You're hiding water from us aren't you?" Grabbing her hair he pulled her up and made her look in the direction of Claire "You're hiding water from a dehydrated pregnant woman."

He was getting really close to pissing her off especially after she made them kebabs the day before so she growled out a warning "Let go or you'll regret it."

Kate came along then and asked "What's going on?"

Boone looked from Melinda to Kate and decided Kate would help him make Melinda confess "She's hiding water from us. I mean look at her she looks perfectly fine even though everyone else looks dehydrated."

Kate came to Melinda then and made Boone let go "Where is it?"

"I don't have any water."

Making Boone follow her when she grabbed Melinda she dragged her to her 'home' then made Boone start breaking her 'home' the thing is Claire looked like she believed them both as well so this made Melinda not stop them. Tears began to come to her eyes for feeling guilty even though she had no reason to as she had no water to hide from them.

Boone threw her weapons in front of her feet then the bag that held something that she made which he took out, only Claire realized what they were and that they had her name sewn into them before they were ripped "Now tell us where the water is?" When she didn't answer he ripped it along the sewn lines.

Claire picked up the ripped blanket and baby carrier "You made these."

Everyone looked at Claire then back to Melinda when she nodded "I made the blanket for your baby when it comes and the carrier so you could carry it around and it could still be warm."

Kate made Melinda look her in the face then chucked her to the ground and helped Boone look for the water she supposedly had.

Melinda did not move not even when Boone kicked her but at this Claire protested and it was then that Sayid and Sawyer heard the commotion and came running over to stop Boone from kicking Melinda.

Once they did Sawyer saw her 'home' on the ground and looked to Kate "What made you do this freckles?"

Melinda pushed Sayid's hand out of the way when he offered to help her up and got up herself after picking her weapons up before they could destroy them too she looked at her broken 'home' and turned to Kate it was only then Boone and Kate noticed the tears "I haven't hid anything and I would never keep things like water from other people who need it more than me so how dare you accuse me of hiding water from Claire."

Kate then said "I'm Sorry its just you do look like you have drank some more water than the rest of us." Boone nodded in agreement.

With every step she took she winced but once she was in front of Kate she spoke "Doesn't mean you can resolve to hurting people." She looked at everyone then "GO." When they didn't move she made herself clearer and her voice was laced with disgust and shame for what they did and for letting the tears fall "Leave me ALONE!"

When everyone was gone she fell to her knees in tears, they didn't really stop when she began fixing her home throwing away the pieces of wood that where she was not able to use again, gathering more wood she began building it again the same way she did before. Her tears where of anger and that anger came from the demon within it was practically screaming at her to get revenge for being shown up like that, this scared her more than anything causing more tears to flow.

Jack came back and noticed her working on her home again he was about to go and ask why she had to build it again when Claire stopped him explaining what happened.

It was once she finished telling him that he noticed Melinda wincing now and again and the glistening tear tracks on her face.

Jack was not happy with Kate and Boone one bit and told them so telling them never to jump to conclusions again.

After this he went to check on Melinda to notice she had finished her home and must have been inside as he didn't see her outside it.

Once he was close he could hear small sobs coming from the inside, looking inside he saw her body shaking from her sobs, he sat next to her and pulled her into a hug not knowing what else to do although it was a very awkward hug.

Once her sobs subsided he asked "Are you going to let me check your side?"

Melinda looked away from him when she pulled away from his hug "I'm so weak."

Jack put a hand on her shoulder "You're not weak."

"There was a time I wouldn't let anyone get away with what they just did there was also a time I wouldn't let myself cry over things like this." There was also a time I wouldn't let the demon within even get to a point where it could make me get an emotion it wanted me to get especially getting that angry. Looking at Jack she carried on "So I am weak." I'm losing control of the demon within me slowly and it scares me.

"You are not weak but everyone has their moments of weakness." Jack made her look at him when she turned away from him again "Now let me look at your side."

She nodded then lifted her top off revealing a bikini top now Jack didn't mean for her to do that but it did let him see her side, he sat on the other side of her so he could get a better look at the bruises, he noticed some scars and when she turned her back to him so he could see better he noticed her tattoo.

Not even noticing he was doing it he traced her tattoo, she closed her eyes at the sensation of his fingers tracing her tattoo and a shiver ran up her spine only then did he notice he was tracing her tattoo so he went back to checking her bruises "They seem to be calming down already but they might hurt for a while longer."

Melinda nodded then told him "It's a raven. The tattoo I mean."
