((see you later! 3nodding ))
Jack's brow furrowed with concern. He replaced the supplied and picked a piece of meat off of the hog roasting on the fire instead. Jack waved a hand at Locke as he walked off with Boone. Jack was left alone with Ethan. The air was thick with a terse silence. Jack sighed and decided better now than never.
"Ethan, I have to ask you. What happened out there?" Jack inquired.
He could have softened the impact a little bit and probably could have waited a while longer, but he had to know. If there was someone else on the island, someone obviously dangerous, Jack needed to know.

Claire woke up on the beach by herself. "Charlie?" she called as she moved around a little. She knew that he had been there when she feel asleep and he wasn't there now. "CHARLIE!" she called again.
((I must go as well just thought I'd make a post.))

Ethan sqirmed a moment, then sighed. "There was something in the jungle . . .I chased after it . . . ." He trailed off. He didn't want to go on. He was different from Jack. Some of the survivors were different from Jack. Locke was one of them and he was slowly seeing it. Charlie was as well, possibly Shannon, but Ethan wouldn't tell them. It wasn't his place to tell them anything. They had to find out on their own. Ethan looked to Jack. "I'm sorry . . . I can't remember."
Charlie had made it to the grave sight and had dug and dug for hours.
Nothing.
Ethan's body wasn't there.
The bullets were though.
"Bloody hell . . ." Charlie whispered in shock. Just then he felt his arm tingle where his bite was and he took off his bandage, the bite mark and gashed were gone. It was as if nothing had happened.
"Bloody hell . . ." Charlie said again.

((o.O it's like Locke's crazy dreams...))
Jack turned to Ethan and smiled at him in commiseration.
"Don't worry too much about it, the memories will come back on their own," Jack said reassuringly.
The something that had attacked Ethan was probably the same something that had killed the pilot. Jack looked into the flames as they danced in the fireplace. He felt the need to break the awkward silence.
"I wonder where everyone went," Jack said lightly.
He looked around the desolate caves, trying to find solace in the stone walls.

Sayid finally found Sawyer and went up to him. "Hey . ." he went to say something, but Claire's screams brought him to attention. "CLAIRE?!" He ran to her, Sawyer and possibly Shannon following behind him.
Ethan sighed and slowly got to his feet. He had healed already, but he put on a good show for the doctor. "Why don't we go find them?" He asked. He too was in need to break the silence. He knew why everyone was tense around him. He had taken Claire, but he had saved her. She would have died giving birth to her child, but Ethan himself had saved her. And had blessed her child with a gift like none other. Everyone hated him though, thought that he had died when Charlie had shot him. He turned to Jack and gave him a serious look. "I know." Was all he said, and walke dback over to his palte and sat down.
Charlie ran through the jungle.
Heart beating.
Pulse racing.
How could this be happening?
What had happened to him?
What was going on?
Ethan would know.
He had to know.
(I got to go I don't feel good. BYE!)

((see you, I hope you feel better!))
Jack looked at Ethan. His eyes followed the man's movement around the caves. Jack was amazed at the recovery Ethan had made in the span of a few short hours. It was remarkable. If Jack didn't know better, he would have thought that nothing had happened to Ethan. Jack stared at the man intently.
"We can go and look for them if they're not back in a little while. Are you sure you're alright? You've been through a lot," Jack commented.
Jack watched as Ethan's eyes darted around the caves. He was obviously troubled by something. Jack decided it might not be the best time to ask. After all, Claire, too had been troubled after losing her memory like that. Jack decided that time would have to heal all.

(I'm leaving after this post, I'll be back on tomorrow!!)
Ethan looked back at Jack. "I'm fine." He replied. He could sense that Jack was curious about him. Jack had every right to be. Ethan felt slightly terrible for what he had done to him, to everyone before, but it had had to be done. "Are you okay Jack?" He asked.
Charlie ran until he came to the caves, stopping behind some bushes and watching Ethan and Jack. Ethan had healed up as well.
What was going on??

((okay, see you tomorrow!))
"I'm fine, thanks," Jack replied.
It was silent in the caves. All that could be heard was the trickle of water from the waterfall. Jack stared at the back wall of the caves. Suddenly, he heard something in the bushes just outside of the caves. It was probably just some small animal. Still, Jack was curious. He turned around and scanned the bushes with his eyes.
"Hello?" Jack shouted.
The word echoed and hung in the air. Jack didn't hear a reply so he just shrugged and turned back around.

Soon it was night and everyone was getting settled in. By that time Sayid and the others had gotten word to Jack that Charlie was missing. They had sent out a search party. Sawyer, Sayid, and whoever else wanted to go, went in search for Charlie.
Ethan sat at the caves and looked around Nervously. "He's coming for me." he said to no one really. "He's going to try to kill me again . . ." He heard something in the bushes behind him and he smiled slightly.
Charlie.
He was behind him.
Obviously he wasn't armed. Ethan could sense something about him. Charlie wanted to know what was going on.
"I'm going to get some air." Ethan replied, again to no one really, and got up, walking into the jungle.

The search party had split up into two groups. Sawyer and Sayid were in one group while Jack and Locke were in the other. As he walked down the path with Locke, Jack heard a noise in the bushes. He spun around and looked off into the distance in all directions, not seeing anything.
"Charlie? Charlie, is that you?" Jack called.
He stood around for a few seconds and got no answer. Jack and Locke continued moving down the path with slow, deliberate steps, looking for Charlie.

"Sayid? I'm fine, I was just looking for Charlie. He was here when I went to sleep and I don't know where he is now," she said looking to the woods and then back at Sayid and the others.

Charlie thought he had almost gotten caught by Jack and Locke, but he hadn't. He sighed with relief and took off, seeing Ethan. He ran out at him, bringing him to the ground.
"What's going on? What's happening to me?" Charlie shouted.
Ethan smiled. "What's suppose to happen to you." He answered. "Don't you see it around you? Feel it?"
Charlie glared. "See what? Feel what?"
"Locke can see it, feel it. He's finally accepting it. Why can't you?" Ethan asked. He pushed Charlie off of him, making him stumble and fall to the ground.
Locke stopped and looked back the way they had gone. "Jack . . .Charlie has Ethan." He replied.
Sayid took Claire by the hand. "Come. You'll help us search." He rpelied.

Locke's words had startled Jack, to say the least.
"What makes you say that?" Jack asked.
He looked at Locke like he had grown an extra head or something. Jack decided that they could talk on the way. He turned around and started off back in the direction of the caves, still wondering what the hell was up with Locke. The man really was losing it.

Locke sighed. "It's the island Jack . . .something about it . . ." He trailed off, sighing heavily. "Though you wouldn't understand." He replied and began to quicken his pace. "Come on."
Charlie got up and punched Ethan. "You're supposed to be dead! I shot you! Your gave is empty!" He shouted. "I got bit! MY arm is better! Locke is acting all crazy! What the bloody hell is going on?"
Ethan smiled. "What's supposed to happen." He answered.
(I got to BYE!)

((God, the crypticism is killing me!))
Jack decided to ignore Locke's crazy philosophies and pretend like he had never heard it in the first place. Jack quickened his pace to match Locke's as they walked back towards the caves. They reached them soon enough and heard strained voices from the inside. They rounded the corner and found Charlie and Ethan in a tangled heap. Jack rushed over and stood beside them.
"Stop it! Charlie, Ethan! Break it up!" Jack shouted.
The two men were oblivious to his orders and continued to roll around on the floor, both trying to retain control.
((see you later!))
