Clair and Sun were sitting on the beach trying to devise/ prepare a spell that would reopen the portal when Danielle and Charlie walked over to them.
“Hey Charlie,” Clair said.
“Hey, this is Danielle,” Charlie said, indicating the woman standing behind him.
“You’ had a bay on this island?” Danielle asked, bluntly. Her social skills had been greatly deteriorated by spending 14 years on the island alone.
“Yeah,” Clair said.
“I believe she is destined to stop the monster on this island.”
“What?!”
“A prophecy was found…”
“You’re crazy and I’m busy so if you don’t mind I’d like to try to find my baby.”
“I can help you if you listen to me,” Danielle said but Clair was beginning to walk away, “You hade visions when you were pregnant.” It was more of a statement then a question but it caused Clair to turn around.
“How did you know that?”
“It’s in the prophecy. Your child is a seer. She has the ability to see the future.”
“Can I see the prophecy?” Sun asked, holding out her hand. Danielle placed handed it to her and she began to examine it, “She’s telling the truth.” Sun nodded.
“What happened to the baby?” Danielle asked.
“Her names Noelle,” Clair said.
“She was taken into a portal,” Sun said.
“Any idea where?” Danielle asked.
“No,” Sun said.
“Show me where the portal was opened,” Danielle said, “Maybe we can reopen it.”

Buffy groaned as she woke up in the bed she had been occupying since they brought her to the hatch.
“Hey, how are you feeling?” Jack asked her.
“Okay, my shoulder hurts but……what happened?”
“You were shot by the others.”
“I was shot?” Buffy said, sitting up in her bed.
“You should really lie down.”
“I feel fine,” Buffy said.
“Buffy, I really think….”
“I’m fine see,” she said, pulling off the bandage and showing him that her shoulder was practically healed.
“How?”
“I doesn’t matter, what about everyone else, are they okay?”
*************************
A few nights later Sun and Danielle set up for the spell. They used ground up herbs to make a pentagon on the beach and lit pieces of wood for fire.
“Do you really think this is going to work?” Clair asked, from where she was standing next to Boone, Danielle as they watched Sun enter the circle.
“I don’t know. We need one more ingredient.”
“What?”
“Some your blood and some of his, the father’s.”
Clair nodded and took the knife. She cut her hand and slowed some of her blood to spill into the bowl Danielle was holding. Boone took the knife and did the same thing adding his blood to hers. Danielle walked over and handed the bowl to Sun.
Sun took a deep breath and began to chant. Slowly a portal began to open in front of her, where the first one had formed.
“Its working,” Boone said.
“No, its not,” Danielle said, running forward. The portal was now almost fully open and a howling wind was coming from it. Sun screamed as the portal began to suck her towards it.
“What’s going on?” Boone yelled, over the howling of the wind.
“It’s closing in on itself like a black hole,” Danielle yelled back, trying to asses the situation, “If we don’t’ close it, it’ll consume everything.”
“The island?!” Clair yelled.
“Worse, the world!”
“How do we stop it?!” Boone yelled but Danielle was running forward.
The only way to stop it was to kill the spell caster. She had discussed the possibility with Sun. They had known the risks. She pulled out a knife as she rushed forward. She could hear Clair scream as she pulled it out and killed Sun. The portal began to close as her blood flowed to the floor and her life drained out of her body. It hurt to do this but she was a watcher and it was her duty to protect the world at all costs, one death paled in comparison to the possibility of the destruction of the entire world.
“Do you think this makes up for everything I’ve done in my past?” Sun asked Danielle.
“I think it does.”
Sun smiled and died, peacefully.
Boone ran over to them. The portal was now closed, “How could you? She didn’t deserve to die.”
“It was the only way. She knew the risks,” Danielle told them.
