yay welcome mel to the rp ;D SPOILER TAG IS IN BECAUSE THERE IS SOME NAUGHTYNESS. DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE OFFENDED! Sophie climbed down the ladder and started to fill more paint into her bucket. She was determined to get the walls completed, and she would spend all night doing it, if needed. She heard footsteps behind her. She turned around to look at Ben. "Hey" she said smiling. "Your still painting?" he asked, "Yeah i want to get it done with" she said. "I'll give you a hand" he said picking up a paintbrush. .................... a few hours had passed and ben and sophie had finally finished off the painting. "You've got some paint on your nose" he chuckled, sophie blushed as she wiped it away from her face. She sat on the table undoing, and taking off the shirt alex gave her. "suppose this is no good to you now?" she laughed. Ben just started packing the paint stuff away. he glanced over at her smiling. Sophie leaned back on the table watching ben packing up the stuff. She couldn't help look at his firm bottom. Ben turned around as he looked over at her. He was finding her very attractive. "what?" she asked. But ben strided across the room. If he was gonna have her. He was gonna have her now! He pulled her into his arms and kiss hard on the lips. At first sophie was unsure. But once his tongue slipped into her mouth, it made her melt. She was in the moment like he was.
Sophie ran her hands through his hair as he bent over kissing, nibbling, sucking at her neck. His hands were pushing the straps of her shoulders, while sophie unzipped his trousers. Ben lowered his hand to pull of hers. Sophies breaths came in gasp as she waited for ben to enter her..........
But Ben pulled away, stepping back. He was breathing hard as he looked at her.
"I'm sorry" he said zipping back up his fly "I can't do this"
"What?" Sophie said breathing hard, "Why?" pulling up her trousers
"I just can't" as he ran out the building. Sophie stood there open mouthed.
"What just happened?" thoughts ran through her mind .............. It was the next morning, and Sophie still felt unsure. She was lying in bed when the house began to shake. She rolled of the bed, and fell on the floor. She quickly got up when everything stopped shaking. she quickly slipped her jeans and top on, as she rushed outside. Just like the rest of the village she watched as they all looked up at the sky seeing a plane split into three parts and crashing down on the island. "Oh my god" she said as she watched the awful event. Suddenly she heard Ben marching orders to ethan and a guy called goodwin. She watched as they both ran into the jungle. She then watched in the distance Ben was talking to Juliet, as they walked off into the jungle. "So thats why?" she sighed. |

whooo welcome Mel  Happy that she had found some fruit Charlotte returned to the cave."Mangos won´t keep me alive forever but they will do for a start"she thought placing them near a cozy-looking niche she had spotted earlier.This was where she would sleep tonight.The cave was huge but there was only one single entrance which meaned she wouldn´t be able to escape if there would be any problems.It was too late to search for another place now though, it was already getting dark.”Ben thinks I´m dead anyway”Charlotte thought and couldn´t help smiling.She still couldn´t believe she really escaped.Now she only hoped that Danny wouldn´t get cold feet.But Charlotte didn´t think he would dare to tell Ben, he had said it himself the consequences woulnd´t be too enjoyable.Still she walked around the cave nervously until she decided to wash herself in the waterfall.The water felt pleasantly fresh but too be honest Charlotte always liked the more comfortable way of life, like for example showers. When she got out and put her clothes back on it was getting a bit chilly.”Let´s hope this won´t be one of those rather cold nights”she said to herself.For some reason Charlotte had always thought also the nights would be extremely hot on an island.But they turned out to be surprisingly freezy at times.Wishing that she would have put on a pullover this morning, she folded her arms shivering a little bit and took a last walk around the cave making sure that everything was okay. She walked over to her little niche and sat down on the ground.She grabbed one of the mangos and pulled out the little knife she had always carried about with her ever since she had arrived on this island.Looking back Charlotte could hardly believe only a week and several days had passed since she had put foot on these grounds for the first time.For some reason it felt like a lifetime.But she didn´t want to think about her time with those people anymore, she couldn´t deny that she had good times but all things considered the job didn´t bring quite too many great moments than it had promised. Munching on a mango piece Charlotte stared up at the vivid sky who was full of glittering stars.The sky was a thing that she had admired ever since she had been a child.Her grandmother had told her that only one single sky exists but Charlotte always had hard times believing that it was true.”But how is it possible that all the people in the world look at the same sky.I mean there are different countries right like Brazil and India?”she had asked her grandma cheekily.”Well it is because we all belong to the same world”her grandma had responded.”And now stop asking silly questions you´re way too young to worry about things like this!”grandma said as she had tickled Charlotte. The same weird feeling overcame her now.Sophie, Zoe, Liam and all the others were looking at the same sky and though they weren´t exactly far way it seemed like they were living in another world.Ben had probably just told them she had gone on a trip or maybe that she left the island forever.Sighing Charlotte put away the knife but suddenly froze as she heard a rustling noise.She tried hard to see something in the dark but couldn´t spot anything.She didn´t dare to move for another five minutes until she was absolutely sure that it had only been an animal.”Speaking of animals”thought Charlotte.Tom had shown him a weird thing once, first she didn´t believe him.I mean ice bears on a tropical island?!But then she had seen one and couldn´t believe her eyes.”That´s crazy”she had laughed.”How do they come here?”.Tom had giggled but couldn´t answer her question.Out of all the people there she would probably miss Tom the most. “Goddammit I have to stop thinking about the past!”thought Charlotte furious with herself. “Okay Beeeddddtimmmmeee”she yawned.But there was one last thing she needed to do before going to sleep.Hesitantly she got up and pulled a gun out of her trousers.Charlotte looked at it in an insecure way.She had nicked it from Danny when he had dragged her through the jungle.She still didn´t understand how she had made it but for some weird reason she had succeed and Danny didn´t notice.Or maybe he just didn´t care, he would have let her escape anyway and he knew that she would never be able to do him any harm.A thing Ben always had criticized. “At least I can defend myself now”Charlotte thought and laid down on the hard ground.Holding the gun firmly in her hands she slowly closed her eyes after looking up at the beautiful sky for one last time. “Who are you?”screamed a voice far away.”God my head”mumbled Charlotte and opened her eyes slowly.She couldn´t see anything first it was all dark.”It must still be night”she thought when the the place started to get shapes.A wild-looking woman was standing infront of her pointing Charlotte´s gun at her. Charlotte looked around quickly, she was in some subterranean cave.It must be morning or day because sunshine was lightening up the cave a little bit.She tried to jump up but couldn´t get away as she noticed that the woman had chained her.”You´re not going anywhere!”said the woman calmly.”Who are you?” “What´s going on here?”shouted Charlotte fighting against her chains.”Who are you?” “Let me go I didn´t do anything!” “Who are you?I´ve seen you with those people!” Charlotte stopped dead.”Those people?”The woman still stared and pointed the gun at her. “Who are you?”she asked again with an foreign accent. “I came here to do a job”Charlotte replied who had decided that it would be best to cooperate now.”A week ago”she added quickly. “Do you belong to them?”asked the woman looking at her suspiciously. “Well I don´t think I´ve ever belonged to them but no not anymore.To be honest the leader wanted me dead but I…I could escape.I´m on the run now”replied Charlotte hesitantly. “What if she´s a spy and I´m already practically dead now?”she thought suddenly looking horrified. For a while the woman didn´t say anything.”I believe you”she then said simply.”You don´t seem to be very dangerous and you only had this gun.You didn´t even notice me approaching, you can´t be one of them!”she added and finally put the gun down. Charlotte sighed relieved.”Can you let me go now?”she asked hopefully. “No not at the moment but you can help me!”said the woman. Charlotte looked at her gloomily.”I´ll help you hide from them, they´re very clever”she added. “Okay”smiled Charlotte after a few seconds. “They took something that belongs to me.They took my……….”started the woman. Suddenly the earth began shaking and an ear-shattering noise made the whole island quiver. “You stay here”said the woman and climbed out of the cave. “Very funny”replied Charlotte miserably who was still chained. |

Zoe was happily sat down in the book club. Juliet was hosting it, and she had done a very good job with providing tea and biscuits along with her chosen book 'Carrie' by Stephen King, which Zoe had never read, but had seen the film, which she thought of as an ok film. Other people seemed far less keen to reading the chosen book.
"It's not even literature. It's popcorn. " Adam protested.
"And why isn't it literature, Adam? I'm dying to know." Amelia retorted
"There's no metaphor. It's by-the-numbers religious hocum-pocum." Adam argued
"No metaphor?" Amelia scoffed
"It's science-fiction -- now I know why Ben isn't here." Adam scowled
"Excuse me?" Juliet replied, Zoe could detect an annoyance in her tone.
"I know the host picks the book; but seriously, Julie, he wouldn't read this in the damn bathroom." Adam added matter-of-factly.
"Well, Adam, I am the host and I do pick the book. And this is my favorite book. So I am absolutely thrilled that you can't stand it. Silly me for sinking so low as to select something that Ben wouldn't like. Here I am thinking that free will still actually exists on... " Juliet's voice trailed off as a sudden earthquake came from nowhere. Everyone jumps out their seats as everything in the house begins to rattle and shake violently.
"The doorway -- get into the doorway!" Juliet shouts to everyone
Everyone moves into doorways and wait until the shaking stops. It soon subsides and everyone cautiously makes their way outside. Zoe notices Ethan run outside from another house - Sophie, Ben and then Liam with Tom all run into the same Green area of the village, centeralised. Everyone looks up at the sky. They see a plane flying over which then breaks apart in mid-air and crashes.
"What the-" Zoe whispers, as the plane wreckage disappears from sight. She looks over to Ben who by now had started to speak. He was talking to Ethan and some other guy Zoe recognised but didn't know by name.
"Goodwin, did you see where the tail landed?" Ben asked sharply.
"Yeah, probably in the water." Goodwin replied
"You run and you can make that shore line in an hour. Ethan, get up there to that fuselage. There may actually be survivors; and you're one of them. A passenger -- in shock -- come up with an adequate story if they ask. Stay quiet if they don't. Listen, learn, don't get involved. I want lists in 3 days. Go." Ben instructed them and both Goodwin and Ethan run off into the jungle. Ben then looks at Juliet, noticing she has a book in her hand.
"So I guess I'm out of the book club." Ben says coldly to her. Zoe frowned, a puzzled expression spreading across her face. Juliet makes to move away.
"Juliet. Juliet! I was looking for you this morning. You and I need to talk." Ben called to her. Juliet looks over her shoulder back at him.
"Now?" She asks, frowning.
"We' have some time. It's important. Take a walk with me." Ben replied mysteriously and they both walk away from the village alone. Zoe notices Sophie and runs over to her.
"What do you think they're up to?" Zoe asks, meaning about the plane crash and Ben sending off Ethan and Goodwin to pretend to be one of the survivors.

"Tom?" Liam turned to look at him.
"Don't you worry about them, son," Tom said reassuringly. "We've got a job to do and your training is more important than ever. Let's go back to my house and get back to work."
Liam looked around puzzled and saw other people walking back to their houses so he jogged a few paces until he was level with Tom again. "But shouldn't we go see if those people are OK?"
Tom paused and turned to face Liam with a smile, "Ben knows what he's doing kid, come on, you need to get a drink down you."
Liam woke up the next day with his head throbbing. He was lying on a sofa he recalled as being Tom's but he couldn't remember much of the previous night. Across the room, Danny was dozing in an armchair snoring rather loudly.
Liam got up to find the bathroom and after having a wash he headed down the stairs and past Danny into the kitchen to look for something to eat.
"Hi!" called a soft but chirpy feminine voice, taking Liam by surprise.
"Er...hi?" Liam stumbled.

Mel had unpacked all of her things and rearranged the room three times. She had run out of things to do in her room. The room in the house she was sharing with Ethan.
"Hell!" she said aloud as she sat on the edge of her bed. She finally decided to get it over with and left her room.
She found Ethan in the kitchen putting together something for dinner.
He smiled slightly when he saw her, "I see you've decided to stop pouting."
"You say that like I don't deserve to be upset."
Ethan looked at her for a long while then shook his head, "I was following orders."
"Is that all I ever was to you. A mission?"
Ethan didn't answer her.
***************************************************
Mel had first met Ethan five months ago. It was one of those things you see happen in a movie. The girl and guy walking down the street not really paying attention to where they were going. They bump into each other and as the man helps the girl pick up her things a conversation starts.
The conversation led to coffee in a nearby shop and the coffee led to a relationship. Ethan was the kindest, most supportive man Mel had ever met. So when he told her of a job opening at the company where he worked she had trusted him and agreed to it without a second thought.
***************************************************
Now she was here on the island and she had been lied to countless times.
But worst of all was knowing deep down that Ethan had never really felt anything for her. He had simply been acting the entire time. He had been doing his job and he had done it well.
Mel came out of her memories, "I don't think I'm very hungry. I'm going to turn in." she said standing up quickly and starting for her room.
"I'm sorry." she heard and stopped.
She bent her head down as a tear fell from her eye. Ethan was behind her running his hands down her arms.
"I am." he whispered into her ear. "It wasn't all just a mission to me; at least not in the end."
"I can't do this Ethan." she breathed.
"I understand. I just wanted you to know." he finished as he spun her around and kissed her. It that kiss she could feel all the love she had for him reflected onto her. It seemed that Ethan truly did love her after all.
When they broke apart Mel took a second to really look at him and she believed him. She kissed him softly on the cheek, "Thank you."
Ethan gave her a small smile as she turned and walked to her room.
***************************************************
Mel woke up to the ground shaking. When it stopped she ran into Ethan's room and saw that he was already up. Not seeing him in the house she ran outside.
She saw everyone gathered in the courtyard looking up into the sky. She watched in horror as the plane broke apart. Ben started shouting orders and she didn't pay attention until she heard Ethan's name.
Ben told Ethan to go pretend to be one of the survivors. She didn't know why but that meant Ethan would be leaving and she didn't like that. She moved closer to Ethan and Ben as the orders were being given.
Ethan gave her one last long look before he took off running. She wanted to scream his name , to tell him to stop, but she held herself back. Instead, a few lone tears fell down her face.
She would have been saved a load of trouble if Ben hadn't noticed those tears.

"I don't know" Sophie said. Then looking around noticing liam but not seeing Charlotte any where.
"Hey Zoe" catching up with her as she headed back to the house. "I've not seen Charlotte since yesterday morning! Have you?" she asked.
"No i haven't" as they went indoors. They looked around the house and couldn't find her. "Perhaps shes just out" Zoe said sitting down on the sofa.
"I hope shes ok" sighed Sophie.
"Are you okay?" Zoe asked her, she could sense Sophie seemed down.
"I'm fine" as she pulled on her hoodie "I'm just gonna get some air" as she walked out the door. She took a deep breath and sighed as she headed towards the dock, the one she first stood on when coming to the island.
................................................................
Sophie was sitting down at the edge of the dock, with her trousers rolled up to her knees, letting her feet splash against the cool water. She heard footsteps walking behind her on the wooden floor.
"I've been looking for you" she new it was him, once she heard those words. Ben sat down beside her. "I'm sorry for last night, I shouldn't of done that"
"It's ok. I understand"
"You do?" he asked.
"Yeah your with some else." she looked over at him. "Juliet right?" Ben chuckled and looked at Sophie.
"And what makes you say that?"
"I saw you two this morning, after the plane. I just assumed you two were......"
"No, just friends" he sighed and looked out the ocean "Well we were" Sophie blushed with embarrsment as she felt she made a fool of herself.
"Two days ago I found out I had a large tumor surrounding the L-4 vertebrae" Sophie gasped outloud and looked at him in utter shock. One reason for him just coming out and saying it, and two for telling her. "So I'm not really myself at the moment" still looking out at the ocean.
"Ben, I'm sorry" she said still shocked with what he just said, "I don't really know what to say"
"It's ok, just keep this to yourself for the time being. Don't mention it to Alex" he said looking at her. Sophie nodded with agreement. She could see the sadness in him. She took his hand and held it. "I'm here if you need me" she said with a little smile. Ben wrapped an arm around her. As they both sat there for a moment looking out to the ocean.

Charlotte sighed and stared at her hands who were hurting because of the chains.She started to fidget around on the muddy floor to make herself more comfortable but stopped dead when she understood that it was no use.She took a deep breath as she glanced around the little cave.There were weapons and some old things who looked all very dirty and sordid.”All these things doesn´t look really personal at the all”she thought as she peered into the semi-darkness trying to make out the silhouettes of a bed or a mattress but gave up quickly because she reckoned there was just nothing to be seen.”She can´t live here….Yeah she…who was she anyway?was she alone?how did she come here?and why?was she dangerous?maybe?”thought Charlotte.
Unanswered questions were swirling around in her head leaving her confused and scared aswell.Important questions….questions whose answers would decide about Charlotte´s unknown future.
She closed her eyes slowly, a blurry picture was forming itself in her head.A tall blonde woman beamed at her.A person she never really knew.Charlotte asked herself why she was thinking of her real mother in such a situation as she already dozed off trading the dangerous world for a more secure, wonderful dreamworld.
“Wake up”said a voice above her.She opened her eyes wondering for a few seconds where the hell she was and praying she was laying on her comfortable bed in her old apartment at the same time.But the challenging reality was already disclosing itself floating over her like a dark cloud she couldn´t escape.She looked up, blinking, at the French woman.”Wuzzgoinon?”she asked still a bit sleepy.
“A plane.It crashed on the island.”said the woman looking at her with a gaze that didn´t give away anything.”WHAT?”asked Charlotte trying to jump up but being hold back by the chains.”Ouch”she moaned as she fell back on the hard floor her eyes watering because of the pain in her hands.
“Here let me help you”said the woman simply and bowed down constantly looking into Charlotte´s eyes.She had brown hair and looked as though she hadn´t had a proper shower for months maybe even years.
”I can trust you, can I?”she asked still looking into her eyes.Charlotte stared back.”Yes.But can I trust you?”she replied but didn´t get an answer.The woman had unchained her and now got back up.”Unbelievable,She´s asking me whether I can be trusted when she was the one who kidnapped me”thought Charlotte as she rubbed her hands and wrists who had deep red cuts on them.
“A plane…..?”Charlotte asked again calmly feeling more comfortable now that she was free again.She got up slowly feeling a bit shaken but looked at the woman with a steady look.”It crashed on the island.”said the woman who stood there as if someone would jump into the cave any moment.
“Are…are there survivors?”Charlotte mumbled trying to comprehend what the strange woman just told her.
“Yes.Many.”responded the woman as if that would be really bad news.
“What are we waiting for then?Those people need our help!”said Charlotte loudly and took a step towards the woman who didn´t move an inch.
“You don´t know them.You don´t why they are here.We can´t and we won´t help them!”she replied with the same calm voice that was starting to annoy Charlotte.”Why didn´t she understand?Those people were injured and confused for sure.They needed to know where they were and what had happened”she thought desperately.
“We can´t go there”said the French woman again.”They´ve got someone who´s already helping them.A doctor I suppose”she added as she saw the look on Charlotte´s face.
“And now sit down we need to talk about something more important”she said gravely.Charlotte did as she was told after shooting a suspicious look at the propably crazy woman and wondered what on earth could be more important and alarming than the fact that a plane just crashed on this very island.

With Ethan gone, the original plans of work with Zoe were abandoned. Other people seemed to have forgotten that she was there, which suited her fine as she wanted to know what was going on with the plane wreckage and what Ben was upto with Ethan and Goodwin in regards to possible survivors. The next day, Zoe got up early, she had a quick shower and got dressed before walking into the kitchen. It was still dark outside, but she was unfazed by this. She grabbed a couple of bottles of water from the fridge and walked out the house and approached the jungle. She stopped at the mouth of the jungle, her body froze over, realising for the first time she didn't know where she was going and what lived there. She had heard strange noises before coming from the jungle in the night. Zoe took a deep breath and was about to take her first step into the wilderness when someone called out to her.
"Hey, you!" A young soft voice called to her from behind in an urgent tone. Zoe rolled her eyes and turned round. She recognised the girl but didn't know her name.
"What's up?" She asked.
"You're not going in there alone are you?" She asked, Zoe dected a tone of concern in her voice. Zoe didn't say anything back but shrugged.
"You won't last 5 seconds going like that. You'll need these." Alex continued, handing her a torch, a gun and a knife. Zoe took the items, slightly taken a-back that Alex wasn't trying to stop her going. "Oh, and I drew a rough map so you could get to both locations." Alex added, handing Zoe a scrap peice of paper.
"Sorry - what's your name?" Zoe asked.
"Alex." She replied.
"Well - thanks Alex. To be honest, I'm quite suprised you're not trying to tell me to not go." Zoe replied.
"Dad wouldn't want you to, that's why I am helping you. Oh - and I would go myself - or with you, but I am trying to find my boyfriend Karl at the minute." Alex explained.
"Oh right." Zoe said vaguely. "Who's your dad?"
"Ben." Alex replied curling her lip. Zoe froze again. Did she really want to do something Ben wouldn't approve of? Afterall, he was doing so much for her..trying to help her find him... Zoe shook her head to herself. She could always invent some excuse if she needed too. She had always been good at lying. Her quick thinking had always got her out of tricky situations.
"Alright - well, I shouldn't be gone to long, I just want to know what's going on." Zoe replied, also thinking of Charlotte, noting that she hadn't seen her in a while, and the fact that Sophie had brought it up, and mentioned she hadn't seen her worried her a little. "See you around Alex." Alex smiled and watched as Zoe set off into the jungle alone.

"I just thought I'd make you some breakfast," said the woman.
"Er.. sure," said Liam, still trying to work out who she was.
"You don't remember my name do you," the woman said with a look of mock anger. "It's Diane, you know, the party, you and me..."
"Oh, yeah! Diane, sure," said Liam unconvincingly. "So what's for breakfast?"
"Pancakes. Now, I don't know what sauce you want, but the only bottles I could find in Tom's kitchen were alcohol. I can go back to mine and get some for you though. I thought it was about time we spent some more time together."
"Right, don't worry, I'll go," Liam said trying to keep his voice as casual as possible.
"You don't know-"
"I'll find it," Liam cut across her as he made his way sharply out of the kitchen door.
"Women," he mumbled to himself as he turned around the side of the house where he found Alex looking up at him.
"I need your help," she said bluntly before taking hold of his hand and dragging him into the jungle.
Liam grinned widely, "Of course you do!"

Mel left Ethan's house and made her way for the dock. She wanted to see when it would be ready to take her home.
As she walked down the wooden planks she noticed two people sitting at the edge near the water. When she got closer she recognized one of them was Ben. Ben had his arm wrapped around the other, a woman Mel hadn't seen before.
"Well hello Ben." she said interrupting the quiet. "I came down to check on the sub, but of course it isn't here. I know I shouldn't be surprised."
"Mel." Ben said in warning but she ignored him.
"Why don't you introduce me to your friend Ben? That would be the polite thing to do."
Ben glanced between Mel and his companion before speaking, "This is Sophie. She arrived only two days before you did."
"Hello Sophie." Mel said with a smile. "Do you know why you're really here?"
Ben glared at Mel and she knew she was getting somewhere.
"What does she mean Ben?" Sophie asked.
"It's nothing." he said sharply.
"Mel, we will continue this discussion at my house in 15 minutes. I suggest you be on your way now, in case you get lost on the way." Ben all but ordered her to leave.
Mel wanted to challenge Ben and refuse to leave but she was getting the feeling it would be dangerous to push him anymore. So she raised a speculative eyebrow at him and left.
****************************************************
Mel watched calmly from her seat on the couch when Ben stormed into his house.
He spotted her at once, "How did you get in here?" he nearly yelled.
"Calm down. Alex let me in as she was leaving. I told her you were on your way. She didn't care too much to stick around."
Ben took a deep breath. Then he started into a full blown rant. Asking her silly questions like, "What do you think you are doing?" and "Who do you think you are?".
Mel didn't have a chance to answer any of those questions becasue he would move onto the next one so quickly.
When he finally seemed like he was done she cut in, "I want to know what is going on here Ben. All this secrecy and lies. You are covering something up. So either tell me what the hell it is or send me home."
Ben didn't answer her right away. He looked at her for a long time. "Now I see." he began. "You don't really want to know the secrets of this place. You want to know about Ethan. Where he is. If he's safe."
"That's not true." Mel stated.
"You see Mel." Ben said as he walked in a close circle around her, "I know everything that happened between you and Ethan. Everything." he smirked. "I must say, I can't blame him for developing some kind of feelings for you. After all, you do have some redeeming assests." he chuckled.
Mel gasped in outrage and raised her hand but stopped herself.
"You want to hit me don't you?" Ben teased.
"You can't imagine how much." Mel glared at him. "You are responsible for all of this. I blame you for everything because you are the one who sent Ethan to recruit me. You're a liar Ben. You'll lie to anyone to get your way."
Obviously Ben didn't like being called a liar because he was infront of her in seconds and pushed her down to the couch. His face was inches from her own and for a split second she was finally afraid.
"If you continue to act this way and cause trouble I will be forced to dispose of you. Do you understand?" he whispered.
"Dispose of me? You mean you will kill me? I don't believe you" Mel asked in disbelief.
"I've done it before. Just ask Charlotte. Wait, you can't" he smiled evilly.
"Who is Charlotte?" Mel asked not really sure she wanted to know.
"Nobody. Forget her name."
"You're bluffing." Mel said as she pushed against him. It was no use. He had her pinned to the couch. "I must be important to your little plan. You wouldn't have given up Ethan for half a year unless you needed me on this island. I don't think you'll hurt me at all."
"There are other ways." Ben said more to himself than her.
"What?" Mel asked.
"You may prove to be more trouble than you're worth. Now, get out." Ben said releasing her and pushing her towards the door. "I will be in contact in the next few days so you can begin your duties." he mocked her.
Mel grabbed the handle of the door and notcied her hand was shaking. She knew she had gotten under Ben's skin but she feared he had done the same to her.
"Oh Mel?" Ben called when she was nearly out the door.
"Yes?"
"Don't talk to anyone." he ordered.
"Anyone?" she asked.
"Not a soul." he smirked and turned away.
Mel slammed the door behind her and stormed toward Ethan's house. She held on to the small satisfaction that she didn't intend to listen to Ben one bit.

"Look i have to go" Ben said to Sophie, he didn't look at all pleased for mel showing up and making a scene.
"I'll come back soon"
"Ok, just make sure you get back before it get's dark" Ben said heading up the dock. "Oh and remember not to mention our chat to Alex."
Sophie nodded as she watched him walk a quick pace up the dock. She had only been here for two days and already alot had happened, mainly between her and Ben. She didn't even know if they were just friends or lovers. She sighed as she rolled down her jeans, slipped on her socks and put her shoes back on. She had completely forgot about the plane crashing, after only being a few hours ago. She was too busy worrying about Ben with his tumour. Sophie got up from the dock floor and headed back home.
......................................................
"Hey Alex!" Sophie said as she saw Alex rushing over to the one of the houses. Sophie ran over to catch her up. "I need to talk to you"
"Now?, I don't really have time. Can't it wait" she said still looking like she was in a hurry.
"It's about your father!" Sophie said. Alex stopped in her tracks.
.........................................................
"Alex, What time do you call this?" said Ben looking at the clock on the wall. "Your dinners cold now" he said with dissappointment.
"Why didn't you tell me!" she screeched at him
"Tell you what?" he asked concerned
"Your tumour dad!" Ben went pale and his expression looked like a rabbit in headlights.
"Who........Who told you that?"
"Does it matter?" she asked with tears forming in her eyes. "I know we have our fallouts Dad but i can't loose you too" she cried.
Ben went over to her and hugged her as Alex cried into his chest, Ben rested his chin on top of her head.
"I'm not going anywhere" he said trying not to choke up. As he stood there holding her he looked out the window glaring over at the house Sophie lived in.

Zoe had been running through jungle for hours and hours now. She arrived at a beach of the main section of the plane crash. Ethan was already blending in with them. Zoe watched from a safe distance. The whole place was still in carnage and people still seemed at a lost for what to do. Zoe looked round and saw a broken branch hanging limply from a tree. She grabbed it and pulled the remainder of the branch off the tree.
One of the ends of the branch were particuarly sharp. She used it to rip parts of her tshirt and trousers, and then took one of her shoes off and threw it behind her into the thicker parts of the jungle. She then lay on the ground and rolled in the dirt.
Zoe traced her steps a few feet back where there was a small stream. The sun shone brightly upon it. She looked at her reflection and smiled. She was satisfied that she would blend into the crowd now. She ran back through the jungle and onto the beach. Bodies were still everywhere, and people seemed to make a start on piling them together. The smell was vile as Zoe approached one of the bodies of a young woman, probably only a few years older then herself. Zoe held a hand to her mouth as she felt herself begin to retch. She used her free hand to search the womans pockets and found what she was looking for. Her passport. She read the name and then placed the passport in her own pocket before lifting the body of the woman under her shoulders and dragging her towards the central part of the plane crash on the beach, allowing herself to blend in as a survivor perfectly.
"Hey, do you want some help?" Asked a woman who jogged over to her. Zoe nodded and the woman, a slim brunette, helped drag the body with her to where all the other bodies were being taken. "So what's your name? Where did you come from?"
"My name is Leah. Leah Spencer. I woke up about an hour ago in the jungle. I came onto the beach just now and saw all the havoc. Thought I better help staight away, you know? And deal with other stuff later." Zoe replied, lying smoothly. The woman nodded back at her, understanding.
"I'm Kate. Er, I better tell you, we've been here for almost 24 hours now." Kate replied.
"What - there hasn't been any sign of rescue?" Zoe asked. Kate shook her head. Zoe didn't say anything more and just continued to help Kate drag the real Leah along the beach. They reached part of the plane wreckage and carefully placed Leah with the other bodies.
"I'm er...going to go and keep helping people. Are you going to be ok? Jack, over there, he's a doctor. Maybe you should get him to check you out. Make sure you are okay." Kate suggest. Zoe shook her head.
"No, I'll be fine." She replied reassuringly, spotting Ethan nearby. Kate half smiled and jogged away again towards who she pointed out to be Jack. Zoe sighed heavily and ran over to Ethan.
Ethan had his back to her when Zoe approached. Zoe tapped him on his shoulder and he turned round.
"What are you doing here!?" He hissed half angrily half in suprise, keeping his voice down so other people wouldn't hear him.
"Ben sent me to help - you know, get lists." Zoe replied smoothly.
"Don't lie, he knows I am more then capable of doing this on my own." Ethan replied coldly.
"Yes, I know that too." Zoe snapped. "But seeing as his original plan with you training me and stuff has had to cease for now, he asked me to come along and help you. You got a problem with that?" Ethan didn't reply, and made to walk away to talk to other people.
"Oh, and Ethan." Zoe called after him. Ethan turned round to face her.
"My name is Leah by the way." She said loudly to him. "Nice to meet you." She then turned and walked away from him.

*Knock Knock* "Just a minute" Sophie said heading towards the door wrapping a towel round her body. She opened the front door and Ben stood there. "Hey" she said smiling. "Come in." She held the door open as Ben walked in. Sophie shut the door behind her and turned to look at Ben. "Are you okay?" she asked concerned. Ben just stared at her as they stood there with an uncomfortable silence.
"I'm fine!" he said smiling at her. "Are you alone?" he asked looking around the house.
"Yeah, i've not seen Charlotte for over a day, and i dunno where the other two are." as she headed to the kitchen. Filling up the kettle with water. "Hey make yourself comfortable. I'll just go and put some clothes on." as she switched the kettle on and headed off in the bedroom. Ben headed into the kitchen and started putting coffee in some mugs.
Sophie came back in, the kettle had just boiled and she started pouring the water in the mugs.
"Your quiet Ben, are you sure your okay?" Again Ben didn't say anything just glared at her. Sophie could feel his eyes staring at her from behind. She turned to look as he stood right behind her.
He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on her shoulder. Sophie smiled as he held her close to him. She didn't realise what was to come.
Ben whispered in her ear. "And I thought I could trust you." He suddenly yanked her arms behind her, holding tight on her wrists.
"Ben your hurting me!" Sophie squealed in pain. Ben bent her foward pushing her face down on the kitchen desktops. Knocking the mugs over as they smashed to pieces on the floor.
"What are you doing?" she screamed tears forming in her eyes.
The more she tried to fight the more he would hurt her. He bent down forward to speak to her close to her ear.
"You disobyed me Sophie!" he said with an angry tone
"What i don't understand" she cried.
"You couldn't keep your mouth shut!" as he bent her wrist back.
"AWWWWWWWOOOOOO" Sophie screamed in pain. "I don't know what your talking about" she cried even more.
"You misbehaved" as he held her tighter. "I wasn't expecting this from you" he leaned in closer. "Tell me, tell me you'll behave?" he asked bending her wrist back more. Sophie screamed for him to stop. "TELL ME!" he shouted back.
"I'll behave Ben!" she sobbed. Ben loosened his grip and pulled her up. He stood looking at her. Sophie held her wrists. They were in agony. "Good girl" as he tapped her shoulder and headed out the house. Sophie broke down in tears sliding down the kitchen cabinets till she collasped on the floor. Rocking her self crying. She had no idea why Ben had done that too her.
...........................................
Ben headed straight back home. As he just about to enter his house he glanced back at Sophie's house and sighed. He headed in and saw alex on the sofa sleeping. He smiled as he pulled a blanket over her. Alex stirred and smiled at Ben.
"Where have you been dad?" she asked.
"Just over to Sophie" he said sitting down next to her.
"Does she know?" she asked. "Does she know about the tumour?"
"What?" he asked back. "I thought Sophie was the one who told you?" he questioned back.
"No, i just wondered if she knew. I mean she likes you alot dad. She told me earlier."
Ben sat there not really listening to Alex. He was still trying to work out who told her.
"Then who told you?" he asked
"Juliet."

OMG, Sophie, I have chills from reading your last post!
Zoe-I think my character is going to get jealous of yours from getting to be around Ethan so much. lol
Ok, here we go:
Mel stood with her arms crossed in front of her as she gazed up at the huge pylon fence. She wasn't positive what it did if someone crossed through it but she had been assured it kept the bad things out of the village. It was also keeping her in.
It had been nearly one week since the plane crashed and Ben had sent Ethan away. Her anger at him was gone and it had been replaced with a longing to see him. She could feel herself becoming desperate to be in his arms again, to just hear his voice. Mel wasn't pleased she seemed suddenly so dependent on Ethan, but she didn't find it surprising either. After all, a week and a half ago she had been madly in love with him. Nothing had changed really.
"There you are. I've been looking for you." she heard from behind her.
Mel rolled her eyes, "Then I guess I should have picked a better hiding spot."
"You've been avoiding me all week. Why is that?" Ben asked her.
"I don't like you much, if you must know." Mel said as she turned to face him. "You're arogant, spiteful, you have a vicious violent streak, and you're a liar. What is there to like?"
"Careful Mel." he warned his eyes growing cold.
"Oh, you don't think I heard about what you did to Sophie? I thought she was your girl Ben. I guess you ruined that didn't you?"
Ben didn't rise to the bait, he stepped closer to her, "Since you think I can't have Sophie then maybe I will have to move on, find someone new. Maybe you?"
Mel laughed outloud, "Please. That wouldn't even happen in your dreams."
"Ethan was a lucky man, wasn't he? Getting to come home to a woman like you every night. I was always rapt with attention when he would report to me. Of course, he had to describe in great detail every interaction he had with you, even the intimate ones."
Mel gasped in outrage and before she realized what she was doing raised her hand and slapped Ben hard across his face.
"Don't you dare try to ruin my memories of him you perverted old man."
Ben chuckled as he wiped a spot of blood from his lip, "Old? I'm not much older than Ethan. In fact, we have many things in common."
"I don't know what you're playing at but I don't want to hear anymore. Ethan is nothing like you."
Ben shrugged and turned to walk away.
Something he said earlier came back to Mel, "Wait!"
Ben faced her slowly, a smirk on his face.
"You said Ethan was a lucky man. WAS. Why would you say that? Did something happen to him?"
Ben watched her for a moment. "I was wondering if you would catch that. No, nothing has happened to your beloved Ethan, but he did ask to speak with you. I was going to allow it until you chose to strike me."
"Well, you did deserve it." Mel reasoned.
"That is true. I was trying to anger you." Ben pulled a walkie talkie out of it's holder on his belt and handed it to her. "Use your time well, this may not happen again.
Mel nodded and pulled the walkie close to her like a prize. She held it up to her mouth and pushed the button. "Hello?" she asked.
"Mel?" she heard through the static.
"Ethan?" she wondered as she sunk to her knees on the ground. "Are you alright?"
"Yes, I am. Are you?" he asked in his wonderfully familar voice.
"I'm fine, but I miss you. I'm sorry I was so harsh with you when we came to the island. I should have listened to your reasons instead of getting angry."
"Baby, don't apologize. I lied to you. You had every right to be upset. I just hope I can make it up to you."
"You can start when you get home." Mel smiled as she felt tears run down her face. She couldn't believe how happy she was to be talking to the man she loved. "When are you coming home?"
Ethan hesitated, "As soon as I can. I don't think I'll need to be here too much longer."
"Please be safe." Mel pleaded with him.
"I promise." Ethan said and she could hear the smile in his voice.
"I love you so much Ethan. I don't think I realized it until you were gone." Mel saw Ben roll his eyes at her and turned her back on him.
"I love you too Baby. You stay safe and I'll be home before you know it."
"Okay." Mel agreed.
"Mel, I need to tell you one more thing. Are you alone?" Ethan asked seriously.
Mel glanced at Ben who had heard every word of their conversation. His eyes narrowed as he motioned for her to answer 'Yes'.
"Yes, I'm alone." she said hesitantly.
"Well, someone showed up a few days ago and I'm not certain that she'd supposed to be here. She told me that Ben sent her but I don't fully believe it."
"Did you tell Ben?" Mel wondered as her eyes grew wide and Ben took a step closer.
"No, I didn't want him to worry about it. I think that she may have left without permission. If Ben found out he would send an entire search party for her. He would be pretty angry."
Ben stood even closer to her now, his ears straining to here Ethan's voice.
"Who is it?" Mel asked.
"It's Zoe." Ethan answered.
Mel didn't know who Zoe was but Ben obviously did. He ripped the walkie out of her hands and switched it off.
"No!" Mel yelled reaching for it.
"Enough!" he yelled back.
Mel backed away from him. He looked so cold and menacing that she believed he would hurt her if she pushed more.
"I've had enough of the happy couple for today." he mocked.
"You bastard." Mel shook her head and sat back down on the ground. "You're not going to ruin this for me. It sounds like you're missing someone. Why don't you go take care of that?"
"One day you won't be so valuable here." he warned, then turned and strode off towards the village.
Mel ignored his threat and laid back on the ground to look at the sky. She felt her heart lift for the first time all week. Ethan was alive and he did love her and wanted to come back to her.
She replayed their somewhat odd conversation over and over in her mind and one part kept coming up.
He was the one on a mission and putting his life in danger. So why had he told her to stay safe?
