The french woman

I was in the caves this morning with Sayid, Jack and Shannon. Shannon had helped her translate the women's maps and pages. "I assumed the French women was trying to determine the location of the island" Sayid spoke up. "But it was incomplete, her notations fragmented" Shannon looked at him. "Expect for the fish song" I tilted my head and furrowed my brows.

Shannon shrugged and smiled at me, I smiled back at her. Jack spoke up. "The what" I looked at him and slightly laughed. Jack was ignoring and Sayid continued to speak. "But when I laid the pages down like this. I realized it wasn't showing the location of the island" Sayid moved the pages and together it made a triangle. "I think it's a location on the island. Specifically, here" Jack looked at him. "So where are we? In relation to the triangle?"

Sayid responded. "Well, the map is hardly at scale, so I don't know" I looked down and Jack spoke up again. "We're not even sure it's a map of this, are we?" Sayid looked down for a second. "We're not no, but this may be the transmitter sending out the distress call and power source" Micheal was walking by and stopped. "What are we talking about doing now?"

"Looking for another excuse to get chased down and killed by whatever lives in the jungle?" I looked down. "Guys we can't keep doing this" Michael looked at us. "Building water filtration systems? Playing golf? Making a sweet little home here? We need to get off this island" Shannon spoke up. "You think any of us want to be here?" Michael quickly replied.

"No, but I don't think anyone wants to get off as much as I do right now" I looked down knowing he was right. "So are you saying we should do something" Michael replied. "Yeah. We built a raft" Sayid responded. "A raft?" He sounded unimpressed. "Look, don't say it like, man. We... we need a little optimism here, ok? And we've got to do something cause let's e honest, no one's coming"

I looked down and bit my cheek because I knew he was right again. No one was coming became they were looking for us in the wrong spot. "Look the seats from the fuselage, they float. We got an axe and a whole bunch of trees, bamboo. We can do this" I thought about it for a second and got up then left. Michael looked up. "What's up with her?" Sayid and Jack responded at the same time. "She does that"

I could overhear them still talking as I walked away. I had good ideas and I was a very smart person but my best ideas and thoughts come when I'm alone and my thoughts aren't clouded.

It was after Micheal came to talk to us and I was in on the beach. I was sitting on the sand when Michael walked up to me again and sat down next to me. "Hey um, could I ask why you walked away earlier" I looked at him. "I think better when I'm alone and my thoughts aren't clouded, it's nothing against you I think the rafts a great ideas and I'd love to help you. So next time I randomly walk up, you'll know it's cause I need to think" Michael laughed and stood up and walked away.

I looked out into the ocean. I was going to need to make a new identity before I got off this island.
