“So what do we do now?” Michael asked, after Locke had finished his story.
“Well, someone has to stay here and press the button,” Locke said.
“Fine, you stay with Marie and we’ll go back to the beach and then come back a little later,” Jack said and then he, Buffy, and Michael left.
**************************
“Are you going to talk to me?” Marie asked John after she hit the enter button again, “We’ve been here for 2 hours and you haven’t said a thing.”
“Why did you leave?”
“Why did I leave? The question you should be asking is why I didn’t leave sooner? John, after you found out what happened to your parents you were always out looking for the thing that killed them or researching it…..”
“It killed my parents!”
“I know! But you didn’t need to let it destroy our marriage too!”
“Is that what you think that I destroyed our marriage?”
“Yes.”
*****************************
“Where are they?” Charlie asked. The sun had fully risen in the sky now. Jack, Buffy, Michael, and Locke had been out all night.
“I don’t know,” Sayid said.
“Maybe they gotten eaten by the spider,” Shannon said, everyone looked at her, “What?!”
“I doesn’t matter. We can’t wait for them to come back. We need to find that thing and kill it,” Sayid said.
“What thing?” Buffy asked as she walked up to them with Jack and Michael.
“Where have you guys been? You’ve been out all night,” Charlie asked.
“Sorry mom, I didn’t realize I missed curfew,” Buffy said. Charlie frowned.
“Where’s Locke?” Boone asked.
“He’s okay. We found something,” Jack said.
“What?” Hurley asked.
“A hatch in the jungle, it had food in it and other supplies.”
“And a woman,” Michael said, “Who apparently is Locke’s wife or ex-wife. I wasn’t exactly following the story.”
“What this thing about something getting killed?” Buffy asked.
“A huge spider attacked Sayid and I in the jungle,” Shannon said.
“Let’s go kill it then,” Buffy said.
“I’ll get some supplies,” Sayid said as everyone left to go do their own thing.
“Princess can I talk to you for a second?” Sawyer asked Buffy.
“I guess,” She said walking with him to his tent on the beach.
“Now, do you wanna explain this to me,” he said, holding up a wooden stake.
“It’s not mine.”
“It was in you bag.”
“You went through my things.”
“I found your bag, it washed on shore. Didn’t know it was yours till I found this,” he said, holding up her diary.
“Give that to me.”
“What is a vampire slayer anyway?” Sawyer asked as Buffy looked at him in shock. He had read her diary. He knew her secret.
**************************
“You were so busy trying to seek revenge that you forget about everything else,” Marie said.
“What was I suppose to do, let it go?”
“Yes! You were supposed to move on and forget about it like your Uncle that’s what you were suppose to do!”
“Don’t bring him into this.”
“Why not?”
“I don’t know what you did. Don’t pretend I don’t. You’re such a hypocrite; blaming me for our failed marriage. You’re one who left, you’re the one who stopped trying to make it work and you’re the one who broke that sacred vow, not me!”
********************
“Mr. Locke, here’s the information you asked for,” the detective Locke had hired, not to long after his wife had left him told him as he slid a large envelope across the table.
“Thanks,” Locke said making to grab the envelope but the detective stopped him.
“John, are you sure about this? The stuff in that envelope….”
“I’m sure,” John said taking the envelope and opening. He pulled out a photo and just stared in shock. It was a picture of his wife and his uncle, kissing.
********************
“John, I’m sorry,” Marie said softly, “You hate me don’t you?”
“No, I still love you.”
“I love you too.”
“But that’s where it stops,” he said and with that he got up and left the room to go explore the hatch more.
************************
“So what does this spider demon look like?” Buffy asked.
“Like a giant spider,” Sayid replied. They were the only 2 who had gone out to kill the demon. Buffy smiled, “You remind of someone I met a long time ago.”
“Who?”
“I don’t know here name but she saved my life. She was a young girl about your age. I was attacked by well now I believe it was a vampire and she killed it. She saved my life, like you saved Michael’s.”
“I….Look out!” she said, pushing him out of the way as the spider landed on top of her but she was able to push it off. She watched as it moved through the trees.
“How are we going to get it?”
Buffy grabbed the small ax she had found in the hatch and threw it up, hitting her target and causing it to come tumbling down to the ground, dead.
“Impressive,” Sayid said, “You’re going to have to teach me how to do that sometime.”
“Listen about the....I can’t….I’m just not…..”
“What you do in your free time is none of my business,” Sayid said, “I hope you’ll explain it all to me some day though.”
Buffy just looked at him with a small smile and they both headed back to the beach.
***********************
“Are you going to tell them?” Buffy asked Sawyer as she sat down next to him on the beach that night.
“You’re different aren’t you? An outcast?”
“I guess. Yeah I feel that way sometimes or most of the time. You didn’t answer my question.”
“You and me are a lot a like….”
“You lead a double life too.”
“No, but I know something about being an outcast. I know no one likes me here….”
“Only, because you act like a jerk,” Buffy said, Sawyer looked at her, “Sorry.”
“I’ve been called worse…..I’m not going to tell them.”
“Really?”
“Yeah,” he said, handing her, her diary.
“Thanks.”
Sawyer just nodded.
“Not everyone hates you,” Buffy said, “I don’t.”
“Really? After everything I’ve done.”
“People have done worse to me. Beside us outcasts have to stick together.”
