Sophie got to the village and explained to Richard what had happened the last few hours. She then told him about the plan Ben had organised. Richard grabbed a gun and placed it into his trousers.

"And Ethans alive?" he asked.

"I'll explain on the way now come on!"

P.S if you reach jacobs shack b4 i request for me not to be there till i post. is that ok?

Ethan looked towards Mel as they made their way for the door.

"We have to leave William with Juliet." he said.

"What? No!" she told him turning around.

"This is going to get bloodly Mel. I can't be worrying about you and William being safe. If we leave him here Juliet can protect him."

"I don't want to leave him."

"I know you don't baby, I don't either, but we have to."

Mel looked between Ethan and William. She knew Ethan was right, she just couldn't bear leaving her son. She walked over to William and kissed his forehead.

"You stay safe little one. Me and your daddy will be back for you very soon." Then she nodded to Ethan who took him down the hall to Juliet.

Mel was first to the doors and when she pushed them open she met one of the Dharma men face to face. She didn't stop to think. She put her gun up to his chest and pulled the trigger.

Ben was right behind her and shot the other man when he came running.

"Well, we're off to a good start aren't we?"

"You sound like you are enjoying this Ben." Mel said, looking at him curiously.

"It is a little thrilling, isn't it?" he answered.

"Come on," Mel smiled. "Let's go."

***************************************************

They encountered five other men on their way to Jacob's cabin. Each one was taken care of quickly. Hurley even got a shot in.

Finally they arrived at the dark cabin and Mel had to fight the urge to turn and run away.

"It looks like Sophie and Richard haven't made it here yet." Ben said as he stepped forward. "Ethan, stay out here with Zoe, Luke and Hurley please. Mel?"

Mel looked up at him. "What?"

"Come with me please." he said and offered his hand.

Mel was scared and Ben knew it. "If you tie me up and leave me here again I swear..."

"I won't." Ben assured.

Cautiously Mel took his hand and let him lead her to the door.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

"No." Mel answered truthfully.

"You're braver than you think Mel." he said as he opened the door.

"I hope you're right." Mel whispered as she followed him into the dark.

Ben shut the door behind Mel cutting off her last escape route.

"Shouldn't we wait for Richard?" Mel whispered.

"Why would we do that? He can't see him."

"Then why did you have him come here?"

"We're going to need all the help we can get with Dharma. Richard knows the island." Ben shrugged.

Mel looked around the dark cabin as Ben walked over to Jacob's chair.

"Jacob?" Ben called. "We need your help."

One moment the chair was empty and the next Jacob was sitting there speaking to Ben in a hushed whisper. Mel tried not to stare but it was difficult. She was split between not even believeing Jacob was real and being terrified of him.

Finally Ben stood and looked at her. "He wants to talk to you."

"Me?" she asked as Ben left Jacob's side.

Mel approached him slowly, noticing that his eyes never left her. She bent down to him so she could hear his whispers. Without warning she felt his strong hand clamp down on her arm, preventing her from leaving.

She tried not to panic and listened to his words. He had just finished speaking when they heard a loud knock at the door.

"Ben!" they heard Sophie yell.

At the sound Jacob's hand bit painfully into Mel's arm. She could feel her bones straining under the pressure.

"Ben, help!" she told him.

He turned from the door to see Mel cowering in front of Jacob.

"Jacob, no. That's not her fault. Let go of her please." he said rushing to her side.

Jacob nodded and complied, sending Mel sprawling to the floor. Ben helped her up and they made their way for the door as the cabin began to shake.

"Remember!" they heard Jacob boom through the cabin and when Mel turned around he was looking right at her.

"I will." she answered as Ben looked at her quizically.

Ben and Mel all but fell through through the door. Ben shut it quickly from the outside.

"Ben!" Sophie cried and ran up to him.

Mel glared at her, "Are you crazy?" she yelled at Sophie.

"What do you mean?" Sophie asked, confused.

"Why would you knock on the door and yell for Ben? Do you not understand who is in that cabin?" Mel said, cradling her hurt arm.

"Of course I know who is in there, it's Jacob. He wouldn't have minded me coming in."

Ben rolled his eyes, knowing that no good was going to come of this conversation.

"Oh, you think he wouldn't have minded. You're old friends then? Is that why the whole place started to shake when he heard your voice?"

"I don't think he liked being interupted Mel, thats all." Ben said.

"No, he chose me Ben. You said so." Sophie countered.

"Chose you for what? Mel asked.

"To be with Ben of course. What else?"

Mel fell silent and looked from Sophie to Ben who was still next to her, "So that's what you told her." she nodded.

"What does she mean Ben?" Sophie asked but Ben didn't have a chance to answer.

"Mel!" Ethan called as he spotted her. He ran up to her and pulled her into his arms. The previous conversation was forgotten when she saw Ethan. He looked so happy that she was okay and in truth she had never been more thankful to see him.

"What's happened to your arm?" he asked as he pulled back and started to examine it.

"It's not important. Is it bad?" she asked.

"It looks like it's sprained but your lucky it's not broken." Ethan said and he pulled something the wrap it in out of his pack.

"Yeah, lucky." Mel said looking over her shoulder at Sophie was was kneeling next to Ben.

Soph, I have no clue what is going on! lol


Ben watched Mel and once Ethan left her side he went up to her.

"What did he say to you?" he whispered urgently to her.

"Who, Ethan?" she asked watching Ethan talking to Zoe.

"No, Jacob."

Mel looked at Ben carefully, "You don't know?"

"No, I don't" Ben blinked.

"He told something I have to do." Mel answered as her face darkened.

"What is it?"

"I don't think I can tell you."

"Why not?"

"He told me that I would know the right time to reveal it. This doesn't feel like the right time Ben. I'm sorry."

"No, it's not your fault. We need to follow his instructions."

"What did he tell you?" Mel asked Ben. "Is he going to help us with Dharma?"

"Yes, he is." Ben said looking toward the door of the cabin.

"Good. What should we do?"

"Get Ethan and everyone together. We need to get to the Black Rock."

I like it! ;D


Mel looked over at Sophie as she walked up to the group. "You have a gun?" she asked her.

"No." Sophie answered.

Mel pulled one from the pack in front of her and handed it to Sophie, "Here, you're going to need it."

"You think I can handle a gun?" Sophie asked sarcastically. "A few minutes ago you were yelling at me for knocking on a door."

"I think that you're not fully aware of what Jacob is capable of."

"I know damn well what he can do. I've seen it first hand."

"If you say so Sophie. Look, I know we are never going to get along but we realy don't have time to fight right now."

"You ready Mel? We should get going." Ethan said as he walked up the them.

"Ethan, give us a second will you?" Sophie asked him.

Ethan looked at Mel and she nodded, "Ok, but just a minute." he said and walked off.

Sophie turned back to Mel, "You said to Ben, 'So that is what you told her'. What does that mean?"

Mel sighed, she really didn't want to get into this now. "What did Ben tell you about Jacob Sophie?"

"He told me that out of me and you, Jacob chose me to be with Ben."

"Then that is what you should believe. Why would Ben lie to you?"

Sophie threw her hands in the air, "Why does Ben lie to anyone? It's just what he does. He's lied to you many times. If that is the truth, then why would you say that to Ben?"

"I was upset Sophie. I don't know why I said it."

"Now you are lying to me!" Sophie said raising her voice. "Jacob chose me for Ben. We are meant to be together."

"I believe that as well Sophie. Ben and I may have been meant for each other in another life but you are meant for him in this one."

"Then tell me the truth." Sophie demanded.

"Do you really think that Jacob chose you for Ben? Do you want to leave your life up to that man?"

"Yes. I trust Ben and I trust Jacob. Jacob wants me and Ben to be together."

"If that is what Jacob truly thinks, then why did he tell me that I had to kill you Sophie?"

Sophie was speechless. Mel didn't think anything else she could say would help so she walked away.
