Something To Fight For ~ Arrow

Prologue

Oliver's memories of the time between when the gambit went down and when he made it to the island are sparse, but the ones he had are vivid.

~~~~~

"Ollie!" Sara's terror filled voice called as the ship capsized.

"Sara!" He dove across the room, gripping her hand just in time for the water to suck them under.

Clinging to her hand until his father pulled them onto a life raft.

~~~~~

Oliver leaned against the side of the life raft with Sara curled up on his lap, her head on his chest, clinging to one another as if the other was going to disappear.

"We're gonna get through this, Sara. I promise." Ollie whispered to her.

Sara said nothing in reply, she simply wrapped her arms around him tighter and prayed that he was right.

~~~~~

"Survive!" his father's voice sent chills down his spine.

"Dad..." Oliver's voice shook, he was cut off by a loud bang.

"Dad!"

~~~~~

He remembers everything that happened on the island.

~~~~~

"Shengcún." The man told them as he placed a cage with two birds in it in front of them.

~~~~~

"Shengcún not mean bird, means survive. If you want survive this island, bird not last thing you kill." Yao Fei explained.

~~~~~

"This island is going to eat you two alive." Slade's rough Australian voice stated as he watched how timid the young castaways were.

"Then teach us how to survive it." Sara stood tall, as stubborn as ever and refusing to fail.

"Yeah, teach us to fight." Oliver added.

"I can teach you fight, but there's no point in teaching you unless you have something to fight for."

~~~~~

One of the only pleasant memories he had of the island, was the day that he found just that.

~~~~~

"What was that?" Sara questioned as a thunderous noise was head and island shook slightly.

"Let's find out." Oliver, Sara, and Shado began walking in the direction the noise originated.

~~~~~

"No fricken way." Sara mumbled in shock.

"Is that what I think it is?" Shado asked slowly.

Oliver stared at the sight in front of him with only one thought in his mind.

"Something to fight for." He stated, sharing a look with the two women.
