Next Morning....
The night had been quite eventful. I didn't make Shannon feel bad for what had happened during her small attack. She looked ready to crumble, and I spared her of that. Instead, we managed to climb back up to where Locke was.
Damien had disappeared, and Locke was pissed. I'm not sure if it was at me, or at Damien. I had proved quite the problem lately..... It still unnerved me how he toyed with those knives without saying a word. He was silently threatening me......I would have been nuts if I said I wasn't concerned.
I stayed watch most of the night. I think I drifted off shortly after the sun rose....I wasn't sure for how long, but when I did awake, Locke was awake.....and glaring at me. I rubbed my eyes and frowned. "Look, whatever you're thinking, just say it..or else stop looking at me like that."

Like clockwork, sometime early in the morning, Christopher awoke screaming. I dragged myself from the bed and went to him. I picked him up and walked around with him, trying to calm him. Jack groaned and sat up, wiping his eyes. He took Christopher and consoled him while I gave myself a sponge bath. It had become quite hot during the night.
As Jack held him, I wiped Christopher down with the cloth. He appeared to start settling then. Poor baby---the heat was getting to him. I eased him back into his carrier and watched as he drifted to sleep.
Jack went back to sleep almost immediately. Yesterday had been hard on him....on all of us. I tried to sleep, but I was awake now. Instead, I dressed in the only set of clean clothes I had, gathered my clothes, gathered some of Robin's soap, and headed to the falls for laundry. I hated leaving Christopher, but I didn't want to risk taking him out alone.
When returning, I laid my clothes out on the bamboo floor to dry, scraped my hair into a ponytail, gathered my bag, some mangos, and Christopher. If he awoke and started screaming again, I didn't want Jack to hear him.
As I exited the hut, my eyes fell on Sawyer. He was sitting at the shoreline staring at the water. It looked as if he hadn't slept.
I inhaled and timidly approached him. I set the carrier a few feet behind him and squatted beside him. "You should eat," I said quietly, offering him a mango and a bottle of water.(Reply to this) (Thread) |

After Jack and Claire drank to Melanie's I Never, my heart felt as though it was ripped from my chest, torn into tiny little pieces, stomped on, and burned until it was just a mass of charred flesh. I kept cool as I set my drink down in the sand and stood up. Why?! Just... why? I blinked back tears as I caught Melanie's eye. She grinned at me. I turned and ran blindly into the jungle. The voices began speaking again.
Run, Charlie. We'll guide you.
And so I ran, letting the tears stream down my face. What had I become? A bloody emotional bastard over a girl? I could have anyone I wanted... so why Claire? A branch whipped me across the face and I stopped due to the stinging pain. I pressed my sleeve to the scrape to stop the bleeding.
Run, Charlie. It's not safe here.
I turned around in circles, trying to figure out where the voices were coming from. I heard rustling in the bushes and ran in fear.
Move to the right...
My eyes widened as I passed a pit on my left. I stopped again, catching my breath. 'Who are you?!' I asked aloud.
You need not know. Keep running. It's not safe here.
Starting to run again, I asked myself if I was going mad, but then remembered, you're only going mad if you don't think you are. Insane people don't ask if they're going insane... insane people think they're sanity is just fine.
Stop. There's a tree in front of you.
I skidded to a stop, stopping just centimeters from a broad tree trunk. Exhaling in relief, I started moving again. I found myself at the golf course. The voices kept leading me here... why was that? I took a step and tripped over a tree trunk, landing flat on my face.
I stood up and spread my arms wide open. 'Why?! Why do I care so much for Claire?!'
Scream, Charlie. Let it all out.
I sniffed and wiped my eyes. 'I don't need to scream.'
Release your anger, Charlie. Don't let it build up. The voices were more forceful, more demanding. Scream.
'There isn't a use for screaming. Someone will think I'm dying or getting eaten by some animal.' Here I was, talking back to the voices... my sanity was leaving me.
SCREAM!
I let it out. I screamed and screamed until my voice had no power left. I crumpled to the ground, sobbing hoarsely. Pulling at the grass, I curled up into a little ball and sobbed, rocking back and forth. My throat was burning. A coughing fit overcame me.
Terrific. I'd die by coughing. Another coughing attack. I looked at my hand and found I was coughing blood. I lay down on my side as I felt drowsy. Was this death? I thought as I coughed again. I brought my knees to my chest and coughed again. As I spit out the blood from my mouth, I wanted to die. I wanted to just give up. I passed out.

I didn't sleep much. I kept tossing and turning. I was packing my messenger bag, a few shirts, some candy that I had stashed away, my cd player of course, and my water bottle. I placed the larger knife in the outer pocket and my butterfly knife in the my back pocket of my capris. I picked up Usagi and placed her in the bag. I wasn't gonna leave her behind. I looked around and I didn't see Boone at all. It doesn't matter though. I don't have the guts to tell him face to face. I pulled out a pen and ripped out a piece of paper from a notebook I found.
Boone,
I'm sorry to do this but I need to leave, vanish for a couple of days. Now before you start freaking out, this has nothing to do with you and Shannon. This adventure is all about me. I need to let go of something but being here with everybody isn't gonna help. I got dru I need to go. I know this doesn't make any sense. I don't know how else more to explain it but I need to do it for me. (Trust me, it sounds much better in my head then in this letter.) Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. You know, graceful me. Oh and I took Usagi so you don't have to worry about her.
Love you,
Kira
I ripped out another piece of paper and using my origami skills, I made it into a envople. I shoved the letter into it. I looked around. Should I pin the note to his stuff again or should I hand it to someone? I don't need someone asking me questions. I went over to Boone's stuff and pinned the note. I sat there looking around, taking everything in. "I hope he understands." I said to myself. I stood up and took one last glance around and headed into the jungle.
Hoepfully I'll come back in one piece.....

I left the hut and went to my area to gather a few things. A blanket, a change of clothes, and some bottles of water. I frowned as I saw a note. I pulled it from the envelope and read:
Boone,

I read the note several times before carefully folding it and stuffing it in my backpocket. We all had things to go through....to sort through....I just hoped she stayed safe. I used the envelope, unfolded it, and jotted Locke a note.
Locke,
I went to the place to take care of that problem. I'll return tomorrow.
Boone
I folded it, went to his hut, and slid the note under his door.
I hoisted my pack onto my shoulders, grabbed a shovel, and headed into the jungle without a look back.
I knew exactly where to go....I'd never forget that plane. After some time walking, I came upon it, still in a crumpled mess I had barely escaped from. I tossed my pack and shovel aside, entered the plane, and dragged the trunks of drugs out. If I burned them, someone would notice....the best I could do was bury them and dispose of the trunks.
I started digging.

After Melanie left, a thought occured to me. This is my self-appointed solitary confinment. I stepped out of the hut and found a plank of wood. Using a sharp piece of bamboo, I carved 'Charlie's Solitary Confinment' on it and, using a stick stuck in between to poles of bamboo, I placed it on the outside wall next to the door. Satisfied, I headed back into the hut and closed the door behind me. Hopefully, that would keep people away for a bit while I thought. Although, they'd still be able to peek through the window. I'd have to fix that later.
The second I sat down on the bed, the voices came back.
You need to know what Boone is hiding from you.
'I don't! If he doesn't want to tell me, fine! I don't care.'
You shouldn't let him treat you like that.
'I know. I'll talk to him later about it. Can you leave now? Please? I want to take a nap.'
It's fairly warm for a nap, isn't it?
'Hey, in my condition, I can fall asleep anywhere.'
All right. Have a nice nap.
'Yeah, yeah, I'll do that.' The voices left and I lay down, waiting for sleep until I heard someone whisper an 'Oh my god' outside my window.(Reply to this) (Thread) |
