The next day she made her home easier to access for herself then started making things for inside her home, by doing all this she was confronting her fear, not once when she felt scared did she stop.

She was finally becoming a Slayer/Vampire she used her fear to help her instead of letting it control her. She used her fear as strength to move logs to her home then carve them into things that she could use.

During the rest of the day she began making a frame for a bed then at the end of the day when she had finished being the fact that she had not stopped once to drink some blood then made herself a mattress by stitching two of the blankets together then stuffing them with leaves from the jungle…. it eventually made something that resembled a mattress.

Upon finishing she fell asleep.

The next day was her 12th day on the island and all she did was drink more blood and make more things for her home.

13th even though it wasn't a Friday it was unlucky for Melinda as she noticed her blood supply was gone as she had to drink more to heal quicker so that day she did have to face her fear and go further into the jungle to hunt boar.

Melinda looked around and noticed tracks and quickly followed them but when she heard the whispers again she said out loud "I am in the jungle and I no longer have to wait to be free from it. I'm not scared of it anymore I beat the game it didn't beat me."

"Is that right?"

Melinda swung around to come face to face with Val Pelt "I beat the game and you no longer have any power over me."

"Finally you see that the game didn't weaken you but strengthened you." He pressed something into her hand then said "A token of Jumanji." She looked down to her hand to see a piece of the game her piece to be exact.

Looking up she found he was gone and for the first time she didn't see the fear of the jungle she saw its beauty "A token of Jumanji indeed."

The next few days Melinda trained herself once again to be able to move among the jungle without being noticed, on the 17th day on the island she was jumping from tree to tree when all of a sudden she saw Charlie hanging from one until Kate climbed a tree and released him then she watched with bated breath until Charlie began breathing again.

She followed them back to camp without them noticing and listened to their conversation to end up hearing something she didn't want to hear Claire had been kidnapped by someone who wasn't on the flight.

The next few days Melinda became the rest of the survivor's guardian angel but there was one person she watched over more and that was Jack the next person she watched over more was Sawyer.

Each day she noticed they seemed happier without her there but what she did not know was some of them where just hiding behind a cover much like herself.

Soon they had all been on the island for 27 days and Claire came back but she did not remember anyone seeing this Melinda whispered "It's for the best that you forgot me."

Going away she never did notice Jack glance at the tree she was just in.

Two days later they planned to get Ethan and Melinda followed with her crossbow in hand, no one noticed she was following or even there until she got her chance and shot him right between the eyes at the same time Charlie shot the man six times.

First they looked at Charlie then looked behind them to see Melinda stood there in all black clothes "Melinda?"

Melinda walked past them to the dead Ethan and ripped the bolt out of his head snapping it "Bloody hell that's another one I have to make now."

"Melinda?"

She turned this time and looked at the person who said her name "Hi Jack."

Before she could leave Jack said "You're coming back with us."

Laughing she looked him in the eye "Jack I've been on my own for eighteen days on this island I think I'm alright oh and I have been on my own much longer than five years before so I think I can look after myself."

"Come back with us."

This time she noticed the pleading tone in his voice "Fine but it doesn't mean I'll decide to stay."

Once they returned Melinda still did not talk to Claire or anyone for that matter.

The next few days where a blur for Melinda, she helped where needed but not once did she talk to anyone but one thing she did help with was rebuilding the raft which caused Michael to ask "Do you want to go on the raft when we set sail?"

Melinda looks up in shock but sees Sawyer watching her and says her first real sentence since she was back with the survivors "I think someone else deserves a place on the raft Michael." Michael looked to who she was looking at then back to her "He will be more help than I ever could be."

He nods then she carries on helping finishing the raft.

One thing she had been doing was avoiding Jack until the point where he stopped looking for her.

Eventually she started talking to Claire again and slowly they began becoming good friends again.

12 days after killing Ethan Melinda returned to her 'home' to get some time away from the other survivors then she trained herself in combat all over again for two days as being with the survivors she became in her mind rusty, once she returned she found out that Claire had given birth she smiled when she heard the news but the smile left her face when she found out that Boone had died the day she left. He may have jumped to conclusions with things but that didn't mean he deserved to die. No one deserved to die.

It was that day that Charlie came up to her and asked "If you write a letter I will put it in this bottle with the rest of the messages."

Melinda looked at him in the eye "I have no one to write to." Then a thought struck her "Wait I do have someone to write to." When she noticed he was gone she got a pen and paper and began writing.

Dear Buffy

You don't know who I am but I know who you are and what your life is like. I have a lesson for you that will hopefully help in the coming future of being chosen.

Don't hide behind a cover be who you are and don't let the council control you.

One more thing if you get the time research the Hybrid that's what I am and I have met you in another life but time was rewound and I was the only one to keep the memories. I know this probably seems farfetched but if you research the Hybrid maybe you will come to understand what I am and that I help against the forces of evil.

I am not your enemy I am your friend, if you let me I can also become your teacher.

I'm stuck on a island up to now so I don't know when I will finally get to set foot back into Sunnydale. You may have heard of the 815 plane crash well I am one of its survivors. If you get this help us pleased or at least try to, people are getting hurt by other people who live on this island and I can't kill them to save the people I have come to care for. The survivors I know of are as listed;

Jack Sheppard

Sawyer 'I'm not 100 sure that is his real name but he is a good man'

Claire Littleton

Aaron Littleton

Charlie Pace

Hugo "Hurley" Reyes

Michael Dawson

Rose Henderson

Bernard Nadler 'his wife is 100 sure he is still alive somewhere on the island.'

Sayid Jarrah

Jin-Soo Kwon

Sun-Hwa Kwon

Walt Lloyd

John Locke

Shannon Rutherford

Kate Austen

There are some more survivors but I do not know their names. If you get this letter please try to help us. If you want to know about my lives then find out about my first life and now which both go by Melinda Collins as it is my given name.

Don't let them control you Buffy you are better than that.

Yours Sincerely

Melinda Collins

After writing the letter Melinda realised she couldn't send it as it talked about things some people shouldn't know about so she put it in her pocket.

She then watched Jack, Kate, John and Danielle leave after Danielle warned them that the others where coming.

Melinda wanted to go with them but at the same time she wanted to say goodbye to the people leaving on the raft so she did what her heart told her to do and that was say goodbye to one person on that raft.

Once she found him she went up to him and hugged him "Don't get yourself killed you where the first friend I had in my mind on this island. I'm going to miss someone not calling me Aqua."

"I didn't know you where so soft."

Melinda looked up at him and smiled when he hugged back "Was it you who found my letter?"

A smile appeared on his face and Melinda tried to remember each little detail of that smile because in her opinion that was a true handsome smile. Then he let go of her and showed her a piece of paper which she recognised "I kept it and told everyone else I got rid of it." Then he put it back in his pocket with another letter he kept.

For some unknown reason that didn't upset Melinda but instead made her eyes light up with something that Sawyer didn't want to go. Sawyer seeing the opportunity kissed her hard on the lips "Shouldn't have given me the chance Aqua." Turning around he walked away and said two words before he left the island "Goodbye Aqua."

Melinda touched her lips in shock while watching the raft start to go away and when her mind caught up with her she ran to the coast and shouted out to him "Goodbye Sawyer."

Once they had left she went home so she could get her bag then all of a sudden she did something she hadn't done since was eighteen. She got out her plain A4 paper and began to draw Sawyer with the smile she wanted to remember forever. Later on in the day when she had just put the finishing touches to her drawing she heard an explosion and gently put the drawing and everything around her in her bag and then with her inhuman speed went running to see what the explosion was just to end up seeing Jack, Kate, Hurley and John all around what appeared to be a hatch.

Jack saw her when he looked up causing everyone else to look at her but her eyes where looking at the hatch as something in it was making her spidey senses go crazy it was then she muttered "Into every generation, a Slayer is born. One girl in all the world, a Chosen One, one with the strength and skill to hunt the vampires, to stop the spread of their evil ways, to cease their destructive manners, to prevent the end of the world. When one Slayer dies, the next one is called. So when will Buffy be called will I be to late to help her by the time we get off this island or will I be here for eternity." What she didn't know was when she spoke the word of the prophecy… Into every generation a slayer is born, a slayer was born who went by the name of Buffy Summers.

As Jack had moved closer he had heard every word she said "Melinda?"

When she looked him into the eyes a shiver ran down his spine "We need to get off this Island Jack, I need to get off this Island."

What Melinda never realised was that her letter had disappeared and fell into the hands of Giles the future librarian of Sunnydale High. Even though it wasn't addressed to him he read the letter and instantly went into research mode. When the time came Buffy would also read the letter but at the moment the Powers at Be seemed to think Melinda needed a little help so they sent the letter to someone who could help.

Giles researched everything mentioned and soon got to work on a plan to help them knowing her couldn't tell the authorities because he would have to explain how he got the letter and what the other things mentioned in the letter where.

Melinda and the survivors where all one step closer to being rescued but not by who they thought they would be rescued by as Giles was far from who they thought was going to rescue them but as there was time before Giles could do that many things could happen on the island and maybe they would be rescued by someone else.

Melinda's call was answered and her hopes could be fulfilled but only time could tell if that was truly the case.
