Lost

Home

Kate's eyes fluttered open and she took a deep breath as she took in her surroundings.

"Sonofabitch" she heard Sawyer say a few paces away.

They were lying on the same beach they had crashed on many years ago, except this time no plane wreckage could be seen.

Kate stood up looking for Claire but Sawyer was already helping her up. She turned her head slightly to the right then left to see Lapidus, Richard and Miles slowly getting up.

"Guess it was to early to start dreaming." said Lapidus

"What do you suppose we do now freckles?" Sawyer asked Kate.

But Kate didn't have time to answer because a loud sob came from behind her. She quickly spun around to see Claire weeping and screaming in frustration.

"We were supposed to leave. You said we would leave." she screamed at Kate as she ran towards the jungle.

"Claire wait, we should stay together." Kate said grabbing her arm.

"Well you do what you want. I'm going to find Hurley and Ben because according to your story they're still here!" Claire said pulling her arm from Kate's grip and walking away.

"Sorry freckles, but I'm following Claire this time." Sawyer said walking towards the tree line.

"I just want to go home! Is that to much to ask?" asked Miles following Sawyer.

"I'm starting to believe this is home." answered Lapidus, following Miles.

Finally Kate turned towards Richard and asked:

"What are you doing?"

"I'll go where ever you go. My fate is on this island and I should never have stopped believing that I'd ever escape it." he answered

Kate turned back towards the jungle and started running at a light pace to try to catch up with the others.

"I know why we crashed" said Claire after a few hours of silently walking in the jungle.

"Care to enlighten us?" asked Sawyer

"I saw them, the numbers Hurley was always so afraid of. They were sketched on the ceiling of the plane." she said

"Well look at that chicken little might actually have been right." said Sawyer.

"His name is Hugo" said Benjamin Linus stepping out from the bushes to there right.

"Ben" Miles said enthusiastically.

"What are you doing here?" Richard asked.

"The sky lit up before and we could only imagine the worst, so I started going in the direction the plane had taken off in, hoping you hadn't crashed in the water." said Ben

"So where's Hugo?" Claire asked worried.

"He's fine, he's at the Dharma houses." answered Ben

"Well then lets get a move on it, I'm starving." said Sawyer.
