Everyone made it back to the beach easily. At this point everyone was on board. People wanted to see the others suffer. Preparations were starting, people were cleaning, packing. I saw Danielle standing fixing up some wires so I went over. "Where have you been?" She looked up in her french accent. "Around" I smiled. "You know, your a very unpredictable person" She let out a simple chuckle. "Do you need something from me? Or just company?" I smiled. "The company is pretty nice. You just remind me of someone that used to mean a lot to me" She looked at me. "Used?" I bit my lip.

"My mom, she died a long long time ago, she was french like you. She was born in France but her parents divorced and she went with my grandma to well the US leaving her dad and my aunt, whoever she is" She nodded. "Tell me more, please? I enjoy this" I smiled. "Well, she was born in Èze, a small town almost on the coast and about half an hour away from Nice. Once I was older, I wanted visited my grandfather but he had passed away but I still went to go see where my mom and my aunt grew up"

She looked at me with a look of confusion on her face. "And your aunt? Do you know her?" I shook my head. "My mom always told me stories about her. She was a badass, super smart and the most kind. She had long dark brown hair" She looked at me shocked. "What was your mothers name?" I looked at her. "Camille, she took her mothers name so her full name was Camille Boudreaux" She looked at her and started to tear up. "I knew there was something about you" She took her hand and cupped my face. "You look just like her" She had tears in her eyes now and all I was, was confused. "What is it?"

She looked at me and smiled. "I was born in Èze, to Andre Rousseau and Elise Boudreaux. My older sisters name was Camille and she left when I was 9 and she was 11 to the US and I never saw her again" I felt a tear fall from my eye. "Are you saying, what I think your saying?" She smiled and nodded. "You're my niece and your mystery aunt" I began to think about it, of course I admired her so much and wanted to know her. "Well it's nice to know that" She laughed and pulled me in for a tight, tight hug which I really needed. She brushed some hair out of my face. "I knew it" She told me. "Where ever up there she is, i'm betting on that she's very happy right now" I nodded and pulled her in for one more hug.

After so long on this island, how. How could I only have learnt this now. It's not like I can spend any time with her now either. I thought about it. Wherever her daughter was, that meant that I had a cousin somewhere on this island. I saw with her for a bit until I got up to go make myself useful. "Thank you Danielle, it's good to finally truly meet you" She smiled and nodded. I walked around and found Sawyer. He saw my tears and he stopped me. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. What's wrong?" I looked up at him, glassy eyed. "Danielle's my aunt" He looked at me confused. "The French woman is your aunt? So the girl with the others who kept hitting me with rocks is your cousin"

I smiled. "Smart girl and yeah. She always reminded me of my mom and I told her and she began to tell me everything and it all made sense. How's that for fate" He chuckled and pulled me in for a hug. "Ok, just don't cry" I chuckled. "I won't, I promise" I held onto him and then let go. I felt someone's gaze on me but I didn't know who. "So what the hell is going on?" He took a death breath and sighed. "I don't know and don't care as long as it gets us off the island" I nodded. I looked around and saw Jin struggling with something. "I'm going to go make myself useful so should you" He laughed and I walked off. I began to walk over to Jin when Sayid walked up next to me. "How do you feel about this plan" I shrugged. "I don't know, you?" He was about to respond when he looked out at the water and he ran.

I looked and saw a boat and a guy. I ran after him, the man ran and Sayid bolted. Sayid tackled the man who looked more like a teen kid. Sawyer ran up behind me. "Get off him, dammit! It's ok!" Sayid yelled. "What? He's one of them!" Sawyer replied in a softer tone. "I know! I know, it's ok" Sawyer grabbed him and pulled him up. I looked at him. "You know the kid or what?" He nodded. "He was in the cage next to me! I'd say that I know him. What the hell are you doing here, Karl?" He was panting. I crossed me arms and took a water bottle from the ground and gave it to him. "Take a breather honey" He took it, drank a bit and spoke. "They're coming. My people" Sawyer looked down. "Sorry you came all this way but we already know" He looked at Sawyer confused and scared. "Then why are you still here?"
