“Buffy!” Charlie yelled as he ran towards the clearing. He could see figures standing over a body he ran faster, willing his legs to propel him forward, “What are you doing?!”
He saw Buffy lying on the ground, blood stained her shirt. Oh god was she dead? Charlie wondered, horrified at the thought. There was an unfamiliar man standing over Buffy’s body. He was carrying a gun and he now looked up at Charlie. There were 2 other men standing near by with guns as well. The man raised his gun and pointed at Charlie who ducked behind a tree. Thus he avoided the bullets that proceeded to fly out of the gun. He heard a few more shots and then silence. He poked his head from behind the tree and saw that the 3 men now lay dead on the floor. Slowly, he left his hiding space and went to go check on Buffy but he ran into Danielle. She was holding a gun and he realized that she had saved his life.
“Who were they?” he asked as Sawyer and Michael ran towards them and into the clearing.
“The others,” Danielle replied.
“The other what?” Sawyer asked.
“They’ve been on the island since before I came here. They worship the monster.”
“What happened?” Michael asked, bending down to check Buffy’s pulse.
“They shot her,” Charlie said, “And then Danielle came and saved us. Is she okay?”
“She‘s alive but I think we should get Jack. She’s losing a lot of blood," Michael replied, checking her pulse.
“She’s strong. She’ll survive,” Danielle said.
“I thought you 2 were supposed to be at the hatch,” Charlie asked.
“We were,” Michael said, “Actually someone was supposed to stay there but he decided to tag along instead.”
“So there’s no one there?” Danielle asked, urgently.
“No,” Michael said with a shrug.
“You morons, someone needs to type in the code or else the monster will get loose!”
“Listen jungle girl, we’re on a freakin island where’s it gonna go?!” Sawyer yelled.
“Hey, calm down,” Charlie said, breaking up the dispute, “You guys go back to the hatch, take Buffy. I’ll go get Jack.” And with that he ran off towards the Jack and unbeknownst to him a beach in total destruction.
*************************
“Jack! Jack!” Charlie yelled as he ran on to the beach and then stopped as he saw everyone picking up the pieces of their destroyed home.
Jack jogged over to him, “Charlie, what is it?”
“What happened?”
“It wasn’t a rescue boat.”
“I gathered that.”
“It was the others, they attacked us. They killed Sayid and Jin and they took Noelle.”
“Oh god, they took Clair’s baby.”
Jack nodded, “Is something you needed?”
“Yeah, Buffy, someone shot her, the others. She’s at the hatch. We have to go.”
Jack nodded and followed Charlie as he ran back into the jungle.
****************************
“What’s that?” Danielle asked Sawyer, indicating the paper they had found that was in his hand. He had forgotten it was there in all the commotion.
He shrugged, “Don’t know. Can’t read it. It’s in gibberish.”
“May I see?”
“Knock yourself out,” he said, handing her the paper.
She began to examine it, “Its not gibberish, its Latin. And on will be born, a girl, in the land of the beast she is destined to slay. It is only she who can defeat it that was brought upon the earth by mere men. She is no slayer, nor demon, nor born of an unnatural birth. She has no powers except that of sight. Yet, only she will be able to end the reign of the one who has stolen so many lives…..Its a prophecy.”
“A prophecy? About who?” Michael asked.
“I don’t know.”
*************************
“How is she?” Charlie asked Jack, when Jack came out of the room he had been taking care of Buffy in. Charlie was sitting in the main room of the hatch, where the computer was held with Danielle, Sawyer, and Michael.
“A little shaky but she’ll survive,” Jack said, “Which is good because can’t handle any more funerals today.”
“What you talking about Doc?” Sawyer asked.
“Charlie didn’t tell you, the others attacked us on the beach. They killed Jin and Sayid.”
“And they took Clair’s baby,” Charlie said.
“A baby was it born here?” Danielle asked.
“Yeah.”
“A girl?”
“Yeah.”
“I must speak with her mother,” Danielle said in a serious tone.
“Why?”
“The baby, she could be the one destined to stop the monster! You need to take me to her now.”
“Alright,” Charlie said. He was a little scared of this her and he was well aware of what she was cable of so he thought it was best if he complied with her request.
*********************
“We gather here today to bury our good friends, Sayid and Jin,” Boone said. He stood near their graves and the others were standing near them as well listening to his speech, “They were both really good guys. They were brave, smart, kind. They were friends to some of us, lovers to some, 2 to be exact…..If you didn’t get a chance to know them I feel sorry for you. I feel lucky that I got to meet these 2 men, they taught me a lot. I know they’ll be missed. They’re in a better place.”
“Personally I’d rather be here,” Sawyer said as he came up to the group with Charlie and Danielle.
“You stupid arrogant son of a bitch,” Shannon yelled, walking up to him and punching him in the jaw.
“Got quite an arm there girly,” he said with a smirk.
Shannon went to take another swing at him but she was restrained by Boone, “Shannon stop,” she broke away from him and walked over to the rest of the group, “The shows over,” they all began to leave and Boone turned to Sawyer, “What the hell is wrong with you?!” Sawyer laughed, “You think it’s funny. Two people are dead and you’re laughing.”
“What I do really isn’t any of your business?”
“It is when it concerns people I care about……You should have died instead of them,” Boone said and with that he walked off, leaving Sawyer alone in front of the graves.
