Dark World 4: Taken

Chapter 8:

INGRID'S POV

"Uh-huh…and just how do you expect we do this?" I asked.

I'd been with the Eureka crew for quite some time now and they'd told me time travel was impossible. I knew it couldn't be done because they were the people that proved the impossible. Kate smiled at her friends.

"This island is unique. It's on an electro Magnetic field that allows the Island to move through time. We just have to stop it at the right time." Kate said.

"What do you mean the right time?" I asked.

"We're going to be bounced around from period to period. If we land this right…Then we'll end up in 2013." David said.

"So are you guys in for it?" Hugo asked.

"Look…We have family back in New America…I have kids…Friends…Family. I can't change time…It'll change everything. I'll never know my sons…I'll never meet Annie or know of anything."

"Plus you'll never lose Luke or your sons or friends…No plague…no war…yeah who wouldn't want to change that." Sawyer said. "I told you not to get them involved."

"We need them. You know what the island said. It said we only need them. It's suppose to be this way." Hugo yelled.

I looked from each of them to the other. This was going to be tricky. But I thought about it. Zane only had Jack and he would come back with us. Everyone else would be back in New America and this universe while we lived happily back in America in the new timeline. Did I want that? I loved my children and my new family. But I also wanted Luke back more than anything. I didn't know what I wanted.

MYKA'S POV

"Look over there," I yelled.

I saw an old shack lodged up against the river. It was the first sign of other people since the Dharma crew started after us. We just had to get in and out of there as quickly as possible and try to get a map or help. I was starving as well. We hadn't had any food! Not even mangoes grew on these river sides anymore. I was starving! I needed food before I died out of starvation. Jack pulled up along the sides of the river nervously. Fog was everywhere around this side of the bank. I saw shadows dance across the fog. It was unsettling.

I jumped out of the boat and ran to the shack. I had pipes at the ready. I kicked the door down and ran inside. It was empty and looked like it had been that way for ages. Who ever lived here was long gone. I skewered around the old shack looking for anything useful. I heard the boards creek underneath my feet with every passing step. I cursed and walked into the small kitchen near a bed. I opened cabinets and rats scurried around inside. I held in my scream. I hated rats. I dug around and found nothing but old utensils and moldy food. I was vanished. I walked back into the living room and dug around the couches. Along with the spider webs I found something that would help us in great measure. A map of the Amazon river with a You-are-here mark on it.

I ran back out to the boat. Jack looked worried. I held the map of and he jumped. I clambered into the boat with them. Steve walked over and we looked at it. By the looks of the map we were a few miles away from the entrance into the river. We could make it out of here in a few hours at best. Well…Hopefully. If the Dharma Initiative caught us we would die horribly like the others might. God, Ingrid! I just hopped she moves on peacefully. I hoped it was quick and easy for them when they died. I didn't want something like Pete's plane crash to happen to them. I couldn't bear to hear about that.

Another thing was thinking about how we should just give up. We'd been running for ten years, actually eleven in two months. Why should we keep going? Was it really worth it all? I didn't know but I knew I had to go on for Pete and Ingrid and everyone we lost. I looked around the map and searched for a faster way to get out of this jungle. The straightest route would get us there by Dawn the following morning. That is if we didn't crash or anything. But I heard somewhere that it didn't happen a bunch of times.

"We're going to get out of this…" Jack said.

"I know," I said.

"And afterwards I plan on Marrying Zane and moving on and trying to forget Ally." Jack said.

"Your going to propose?!" I asked stunned.

"I think so…I mean I love Zane." Jack said.

"You…Love him?" I smiled.

"Yes," Jack nodded his head and smirked.

"Don't you think it's too soon? I mean we only lost them five months ago." I asked.

"…Well…It might be…I mean Ally only passed away just five months ago and I know it's only been a short time, but I know my feelings for him and I need to follow them."

I smiled, "I'm happy for you!"

"Thanks!" Jack smiled.

I patted him on the back and walked off to Steve driving the boat down the river. Water splashed up around us now.

INGRID'S POV

The three of us sat outside the Hydra Station talking quietly about what to do. None of us wanted to start a new timeline…but we had to. In the end I think we just have to trust the instinct.

"I'm not going." Zane said.

"What?" I asked.

"I'm not going, I don't want to. I don't need to." Zane said. "I'm going to spend the rest of my life here in hell hole with him. If I go back I won't remember any of this or our friends. I'll never be with Jack and I'll never run Eureka in New America. It may seem selfish but I just don't want to leave. These memories are too important."

"I get that," Shawna said. "But I've lost so much and if I go back I'll have most of my friends back and Tessa, my best friend back."

"What about you Ingrid, You'll lose your kids and friends." Zane asked.

"I'm…still thinking about it. I think I might go back. Luke is my world right now." I said sternly.

The ocean wind blew into my hair and took my hair back. Plus I'd be twenty-eight and fabulous. I was getting older and slowly developing wrinkles. It wasn't my style. I couldn't pull off wrinkles.

"I think I'll see what Myka does…She's lost Pete, and everyone." I added.

"That's a good idea," Shawna said.

I looked out to the ocean and saw the Amazon River in the distance. The others had to get back here soon. We needed to make a decision about weather to fix time or not.
