ha ha thanks mel lol. and your post was brill. ben is soooo naughty, he needs to be spanked ROFL.
Sophie was still shakened up after just happened. Still rocking and crying she looked up at the mess off the spilled coffee and the shattered bits off the mugs spread on the floor. She wiped the tears from her face. Stood up moaning in pain from her wrists. Ben had either broken something or sprained them. They were blue with bruises, you could see his finger marks that were pressed into her skin and the swelling was then starting to show. She opened a cabinet and struggled pulling out the first aid kit, opening it. She pulled out some bandages and started wrapping them around her wrists, hands and part off her arms. She tried to do it as quick as she could. She didn't want anyone coming home seeing her in this state, and also seeing the mess. With shots of pain shooting through her body, making tears form in her eyes again. she quickly picked up all the bits up from the floor and cleared up the coffee that had spilled.
Ben had stormed over to Juliets. Most people in the village could hear them having a blazing row, in her house. Which was quite normal these days.
Sophie could hear them while she was in her room. She took a peep out of her window looking over at Juliets house.
"I hope she's ok" she thought in her mind. But Sophie was to terrified to go over and check out.
Suddenly she saw Ben storm out the house. He stood at the porch way. He looked really angry. The same way he was towards Sophie. Then Ben glanced over at Sophie window, like her knew she was looking. Sophie gasped and quickly ducked down on the floor. Hoping he hadn't seen her.
Gulit went through Ben as he glanced towards her home. This was unusual for Ben he never felt guilty.
A week had passed Sophie had avoided Ben all week. Mainly avoided everyone. She was hoping that no one knew about what happened between her and Ben. But some people had found out.
Sophie's wrist were still painfully sore. She was at the empty building, Ben gave her when she first came. She was cleaning some tables, as they were flithy. She kept stopping everynow and then because it would hurt her so much.
Sophie heard someone come in the building behind her. She was too scared to even turn and look to see who it was. But she knew it would be him.
"Sophie?" he asked, he too sounded nervous
"I'm busy" as she carried on cleaning.
"I'm Sorry, i made a mistake" he said,"Alex found out. I just assumed you told her." Sophie just ignored him and carried on cleaning. Ben went nearer to her. "Sophie stoppit please" as he touched her. Sophie jumped in her skin and quickly turned to look at him. Dropping the materials she was holding and moving away from him.
"Don't touch me!" she said standing there shaking. Catching her breath back. "You assumed wrong. I kept my promise" she said with her voice quivering in fear. Ben looked awful. You could see the guilt ridden all over him.
"I know that now" as he walked near her. "Please i won't hurt you." as Sophie was moving back. Until she was trapped into a corner. Ben looked at her wrists all wrapped up in bandages. "Is it painful?" he asked
"What do you think?" she snapped but starting to cry.
"I'm sorry Sophie." but Sophie broke down in tears. Ben held her as she cried into him. "I'm really sorry" he whispered. Sophie looked up at him. Ben wiped a tear from her face.
"I can't do this" as she pushed away from him running out the building. Ben followed after her. Sophie ran back down to the docks. Looking out to the ocean. Ben strolled up to the edge of the dock where Sophie was standing. "I want to go home" she pleaded to him.
"I can't let you do that" he said. "I promise this will never happen again Sophie"
"That doesn't stop me from being terrified of you Ben!", "Let me go home" she begged.
"I'm sorry. But you can never leave" he sighed. Wanting to choke up at the pain he had caused her, and himself. He thought it was best to leave her alone. So he headed back towards the jungle.
.................................................
Ben had just come back from his little vist with Mel. He was angry and what he had heard about Zoe being with the plane crashed people. She could mess this up. He saw tom sitting outside his porch drinking a beer.
"Tom" he shouted as he headed towards him.
"Yes Ben?" tom said startled hiding his beer from Ben.
"I want you and Liam and Danny, to go get Zoe. She went off to the crash site. Don't get caught. By any one!" he ordered, as Tom stood there listening. "Now go!" Tom rushed off finding Liam and Danny.
"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?" Ben had this repeating in his mind after mel had said it. He looked over at Sophies house and then look down at the ground. Ben noticed that Toms garden was always blossoming with pretty flowers. He yanked out a exotic flower. Went back to his home and went to his office desk. He opened a draw, pulled out a little bit of paper and started to write on it.
Sophie had a knock on her door. She opened it. But no one was there. She sighed and then noticed on the doormat. A flower with a note on it. She picked it up and looked around the village to see if she could see anyone. She sniffed the flower and smiled. Then headed in the house unfolding the note. All it said on it was
"I'm Sorry"

Zoe had felt slightly guilty about leaving the village when she had not been giving orders to do so, and she did have a high respect for Ben, especially with everything he was doing for her that he had promised to do when she agreed to come work for them. But again, curiosity had got the better of her, and even she knew by now to not let it get the better of her, but she needed to make sure these people didn't need her help, and that whatever Ben was upto with what he wanted from them wasn't dangerous or immoral.
Zoe had been on the beach with the plane crash surviours and Ethan for about a week now. She spent most of her time getting to know everyone, and was pleased when she found she got on well with everyone. She noticed Charlie, she recognised him before from somewhere. He seemed really nice and pretty good looking. Zoe cursed herself. Already looking out for the hot guys, it wasn't really the ideal situation to be doing that.
She was about to walk over to him when he went off into the jungle, but noticed Shannon go in the same direction not long after he dissappeared. Zoe tried to hide the dissapointment and instead went for a walk in the jungle to clear her head, to decide how she was going to follow through with her plan if things went well or quite badly wrong.
Zoe had been walking through the jungle for about 15 minutes now. She stopped and looked at the surrounding trees, thinking to herself whether she should collect some fruit as the food from the plane wreckage was running very low. She was about to start climbing a tree when a sharp voice snapped at her from behind.
"Zoe!" Came the sharp snappy tone. Zoe whipped round and saw it was Danny with Tom and Liam. "Ben is very angry with you for running off without telling anyone. You are coming back with us RIGHT NOW." Zoe stood silent for a moment, thinking of how to respond.
"I can't come with you. Not right now." Zoe replied, a little taken aback at how angry Danny was. Yes, she thought they wouldn't be happy that she just ran off, but she didn't expect them to be this mad.
"I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood what you just said, you seemed to have said that as if you have a choice in the matter." Danny replied sarcastically. Zoe kept a blank face upon her.
"But I don't have a choice. Think about it Danny - all the plane crash survivors know that I exist now. If I suddenly dissappear, they are going to want to know why and send out a search. Especially Jack, with his habbit of wanting to rescue people." Zoe replied casually. Danny's eyes malvolently flashed with anger, and Zoe felt shivers go up her spine, expecting Danny to charge at her, but instead, he grabbed for a walkie in his pocket.
"Ben!" He said loudly into it. "We've got a problem."
"What is it Danny?" Ben replied quickly.
"Zoe - she kind of made a valid point for staying." Danny replied. Zoe heard a heavy sigh from the walkie.
"I expected so. Let me guess. All the survivors now know her, and would notice if she suddenly vanished to no-where?" He replied with a smug tone.
"Yeah, basically." Danny replied. Then the walkie went to static, Zoe guessed Ben was thinking.
After about 3 minutes of just static, Ben finally spoke again.
"Put me onto her." He said. Danny exchanged glances with his partner, frowning, but then passed the walkie to Zoe.
"Hello Ben." Zoe said cautiously into the walkie.
"Zoe, I'm not very pleased with what you have done - running off like that. You had us all worried. There are things in that jungle that can harm you if you aren't properly aware of in how to defend yourself-"
"I was fine Ben - I had a gun." Zoe replied, not realising what she was saying.
"A gun?" Ben asked sharply. "Where did you get a gun from?"
"Er..." Zoe stuttered, she didn't want to land Alex in it.
"Tell me the truth Zoe, trust me, I know when people lie." Zoe's shoulders dropped in defeat.
"It was Alex." She replied, guilt sweeping over her.
"Alex?" Ben replied, a little in disbelief. Zoe nodded, then feeling stupid because Ben couldn't see what she was doing.
"Yeah." She replied. Ben seemed to disregard this information for now however, and changed the subject.
"Okay, I'm not pleased with having to do this, and I was going to pull off this seach for what you did, running off, not telling anyone what you were doing, not asking whether you could go, but if you do this right, I might just reconsider not pulling off the search. You hear? You are going to have to do a lot of making up for the dissapointment you have caused me to feel for you." Ben started to explain. Zoe started to feel heavier as more guilt swept over her.
"Yes Ben, I'm sorry - I didn't mean to cause so much trouble. I-" Zoe began to reply.
"I know - you have a habbit for helping people. But just remember what happened to you the last time you tried to help someone." Ben replied. Zoe turned her back from Danny and the other guy, a tear falling down her cheek as Ben had mentioned it.
"I remember." Zoe replied, hiding the saddness in her voice.
"Well I am glad to hear that. Anyway. Now you are there, you might as well be of some assistance to Ethan. You will report to him every night about everything you know of all the oceanic 815 survivors. Every detail. You hear?" Ben ordered.
"Yes sir." Zoe replied.
"Help him get lists of names and follow his orders. That will be all. Now hand the walkie back to Danny and be off with you. Tell Ethan what is going on." Ben instructed.
"Sorry Ben - and thanks - for not calling off the search. I know you know how much it means to me." Zoe replied, and handed the walkie to Danny, before leaving to return to the beach, without giving Danny, Tom or Liam another glance.

Sophie, you are so clever turning my lines around like that. You go girl!
It was the next day and Mel was walking quickly across the courtyard. She nearly ran up the steps to the house Sophie shared with some others whose names she didn't know. She had seen the man coming and going but she hadn't seen the other woman in a while.
She knocked loudly on the front door while glancing around her.
"Open up, open up." she said to herself as she looked towards Ben's house next door. The last thing she needed was him coming outside to see that she was about to disobey him.
Finally the door swung open and she saw Sophie looking back at her.
"Thank you!" she said as she rushed through the door and shut it behind her.
"Is anyone else here?" Mel asked looking around the house.
"No one. Did you need something Mel?" Sophie asked clearly wondering why Mel was in her house.
"How are you feeling?" Mel asked as she glanced at Sophie's wrists which were still wrapped in bandages.
"I'm fine." Sophie answered quickly moving her hands behind her back.
"Don't you dare start defending him. I know what a bastard he can be."
"He made a mistake." Sophie tried to explain.
Mel cut her off, "Yeah, the biggest one. But that isn't why I'm here. I couldn't care less who you're shacking up with."
"Then why are you here?"
Mel took a deep breath, "Do you know someone named Zoe?"
"Yeah, she lives here. She's only been here a little while."
"Well, she's not here anymore. She went to the beach where the plane crashed."
"What? How do you know that?"
"Ethan told me."
"I hadn't seen here for a few days but I just thought she was off training somewhere. I wonder why Ben sent her."
"That's the thing. He didn't. She went on her own. Ben was furious when he found out. I'm afraid of what he has planned for her when she gets back."
"Wait. You said Ethan told you? How? I thought he was at the beach pretending to be a survivor."
"He is. I talked to him over a walkie talkie."
"Why would they let you talk to him?"
"Umm, well. Ethan and I, we're kind of..."
"You're together?" Sophie asked finally understanding.
"Yes, but it's complicated."
"You think I don't know about complicated relationships?" Sophie said holding up her wrists.
"I guess you're right. Hey, what about Charlotte? Have you ever heard of her?"
"Charlotte? Yes! Do you know where she is? Is she at the beach too?" Sophie asked hopefully.
"I don't think she's at the beach. You knew her?"
"Yes. She was already here when we all arrived. She welcomed us. She lives here."
Mel looked down at the floor, "Sophie, I think, well at least Ben led me to believe that something happened to her, something bad."
"What do you mean?"
"I think Ben may have killed her. Well, no, I don't think he did it himself. He must have had someone do it for him."
"Ben wouldn't do a thing like that."
"Are you sure? He told me about Charlotte when he was threatening me to stop causing trouble. He said he'd do the same thing to me that he did to her."
"I don't believe you." Sophie said turning away from her.
"Sophie."
"No! Ben is not a bad man. I'm not going to listen to your lies about him!"
Mel threw he hands in the air in defeat, "So now I'm the liar? That's just perfect. Ben tells all of the lies and I get blamed for them."
Sophie threw open the front door, "Get out of my house."
"Fine." Mel said and walked quickly through the door past Sophie. When she was on the porch she turned around, "Sophie?"
"What?"
"Be careful with him."

omg mel that was brill ;D ;D ;D
Sophie slumped down on the sofa. After hearing what mel had told her. Zoe with the plane people. Charlotte possibly dead? She can't be Ben wouldn't do that. But deep down Sophie knew what Ben was capable off. She grabbed her hoodie and put it on. Her wrist were still bandaged up so she wanted to hide them. But everyone knew about it. They were healing pretty quickly which was a surprise to her.
She went up Bens porch steps and knocked on his door. She wanted answers!
"Hi" Ben said smiling happy to see her.
"Can i come in?"
"Of course"
He opened the door more to allow her access into his home. Sophie walked in.
"What can i do you for Sophie?"
As he sat down at his desk, taking off his glasses, placing them on the desk.
"Thank you for the flower Ben"
Sophie said still standing looking down at him. Ben smiled again
"I just hope we can start over again?"
"I can't until your honest with me! I want some answers Ben!"
Ben looked confused
"Ok............Please sit down"
Pointing at one of his chairs.
"So what do you want to know?"
He said leaning foward with his arms folded on the desk.
"Wheres Charlotte?"
"She's going to be away for a while, she's with Richard doing an assignment"
"Ok....."
Sophie wasn't convinced
"I'll ask again, Where is Charlotte?"
"I just told you."
"Well Ben you can't be honest. So...."
Sophie started to get up from her chair.
"Where are you going?"
"Ben if you can tell me where she is then, then theres no point me being here."
"Ok, ok"
Ben looked at her there was an akward slience,
"Everything that is now said in this room is between us?"
Sophie nodded and sat back down.
"Did you kill her?"
"No"
"Then did you order for her to be killed?"
Again a long silence.
"Yes"
Sophie gasped, and was shocked. Though she shouldn't be really.
"Why?"
"Because she was trouble."
Ben could see Sophie looked shakened up, and she looked like she was gonna cry.
"So if i was trouble, would you have me killed too? I mean i know what your capable off Ben"
Sophie said her voice shakly, she rolled her sleeves up and showed him her wrists. Ben just glanced at them then back to look at Sophie.
"No"
Again Sophie was shocked.
"Your too important Sophie."
Sophie looked at him confused.
"The job interview, everything. That was all a lie. - You brought here for another purpose Sophie. - I don't know what, but I think I know why he wanted you here"
Ben smiled.
"Who?"
"The man in charge!"
he said looking stunned to why Sophie would ask a silly question.
"But I thought that was you."
"Oh no Sophie" Ben said shaking his head. - "The man in charge is a great man" a beaming smile formed on his face. "A very powerful man. - A man you wouldn't want to mess with" he said with strict tone to his voice.
Sophie felt even more confused now.
"Sophie, I just want you too be happy here. - You can do that for me?"
"How can i when you kill my friends"
Sophie shrugged, got up from her chair, and headed for the door.
"You hardly knew her. - And she was someone you shouldn't of been hanging about with"
He said as Sophie opened the door. She glanced over to him and then went back outside.

Zoe, regrettably, had been helping Ethan for the past few days. Luckily, however, she was able to stray away from him during the day to mix with everyone. She had made some close friends already, and it made her feel terrible to be informing Ethan of their every move each night, but Zoe knew she had no choice. What Ben was doing for her felt important enough to be doing what was asked of her, and afterall, it was her own fault that she decided to investigate what was going on.
Zoe was relieved when she found that Shannon had just been using people to get what she wanted. She noticed Charlie on the beach by himself, playing with his guitar. She frowned slightly as she watched him. He seemed jumpy, fidgeting alot. She went over to him.
"You ran out then." Zoe commented as she sat down beside him, listening to him play and watching him write his music. Charlie looked up at her.
"Sorry?" He asked.
"Your stash. You've run out." Zoe replied.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Charlie replied.
"Some of my friends, back at home. They are users, and there have been countless times when I've seen them suffering withdrawal symptoms." Zoe replied. Charlie scowled.
"Yeah, but it wasn't a case of me running out. That bald hunting wanker conviscated them off of me." Charlie explained.
"Ah, another island patrol officer wannabe?" Zoe asked mildly, smiling at Charlie, raising one of her eyebrows at him. Charlie laughed.
"Yeah, suppose you could say that. What did you mean by 'another'?" Charlie replied.
"Oh please, tell me you haven't noticed Jack acting all chief like." Zoe replied. "As if people don't know what to do for themselves or make their own decisions." Zoe glanced across the beach and noticed Ethan, the tone in her voice getting darker. "Ethan too."
"I suppose - but Jack is a doctor. He sort of knows what he is doing, and everyone is looking up to him." Charlie commented.
"Yeah, well you wait and see - soon enough he is going to lead us into trouble doing what he think is right. I can just tell." Zoe replied. "And if I were you Charlie, I'd be making decisions for yourself - as in what best suites your interests. Not Locke - or Jack." Zoe got up from where she sat. "I'm going to head back to the caves. You coming or staying? I'm still in the middle of moving my stuff there." Charlie got up and let his guitar hang loosly on his shoulder.
"Sure. Do you want some help?" He offered.
"That would be great." Zoe replied smiling, walking towards a shaded part of the beach where she stole a suitcase of one of the dead people from the plane crash. "I'm Leah by the way."
"I'm Charlie. Charlie -" Charlie began to to reply.
"Charlie Pace. From Driveshaft. I remember. Loved listening to your music on the radio by the way, really chilled me out while I was at uni." Zoe cut across him, Charlie grinned and continued to follow Zoe, helping her move what he thought was her stuff through the jungle and towards the caves.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charlie and Zoe had finished taking things back to the cave, going back for just her back pack now. On the way back, they both heard strange noises, and they both broke out into a run. They soon realised that a boar was chasing them. Charlie climbed up into a tree, Zoe was a little way behind, having never been good at running. She saw Charlie lie down on a branch, swinging his hand down to help hoist her up into the tree. She grabbed his hand, but her hand slipped through his, causing her to fall flat on her back. The boar was gaining distance and was only meters away from her.
"LEAH!" Charlie shouted in worry, about to jump out the tree himself, but as he jumped to the ground, he heard a piercing squealing noise. He stood up, quickly realising that the boar had been caught in a trap. Locke appears out of nowhere into the clearing, making sure that the boar was well and truely dead.
"Nice work, Charlie - Leah. You make excellent bait." Locke commented, looking up at both of them as Zoe scrambled to her feet.
"I'm glad I could oblige. Now give me my bloody drugs." Charlie said angrily, taking a step closer to Locke. Locke didn't respond, continuing to deal with the boar.
"Did you hear what I said? I want my drugs back. I need 'em." Charlie persisted.
"Charlie-" Zoe interrupted, but Locke talked over her.
"Yet you gave them to me. Hmm." Locke replied.
"And I bloody well regret it. I'm sick, man. Can't you see that?" Charlie asked.
"I think you're a lot stronger than you know, Charlie. And I'm going to prove it to you. I'll let you ask me for your drugs three times. The third time, I'm going to give them to you. Now, just so we're clear, this is one." Locke explained. Zoe looked at Locke myteriously, her views on him changing slightly - maybe he did know what he was doing afterall she thought.
"Why? Why? Why are you doing this? To torture me? Just get rid of them and have done with it? " Charlie continued desperatly.
"If I did that you wouldn't have a choice, Charlie. And having choices, making decisions based on more than instinct, is the only thing that separates you from him " Locke explained, indicating towards the boar, before siezing the boars ear and slitting the boars throat. Zoe and Charlie turned to look away, Zoe could almost feel herself retch at the sight of the blood. They both walked away back to the caves, leaving Locke to attend to the boar.
"He's a bloody nutter!" Charlie muttered as they approached the caves. Zoe didn't reply for a moment, not really sure what to say, Locke's words playing in her mind over and over again.
"He's just looking out for you - you know that even if you do take that stuff, sooner or later it's going to run out." Zoe replied reasonably.
"Aw, don't tell me you're on his side!" Charlie groaned.
"I didn't say that - I'm just saying, he has a point. Besides, if you really did want them off him now, you would have asked two more times." Zoe pointed out before walking over to the stream to fill her bottle with water. Charlie caught up with her.
"I thought it didn't bother you - people taking drugs?" Charlie asked. Zoe sighed.
"It does bother me." She replied. "But it's their decision - your decision - if you want to wreck your life like that. I'm not going to try and stop anyone who takes drugs, only offer my advise if they ask. I'm not here to make people's decisions. Just help when they want it. That way, I don't have to take the responsibility when people make the wrong decisions." Zoe replied. Charlie looked down at the floor, not sure what to say.

Sophie was sitting alone on a bench. Just thinking about her recent conversation with ben. She was angry knowing that all of this was a lie to her.
"If i hadn't of took this job i wouldn't of ended up in this place" she said to herself. Then thoughts of home starting to run through her mind. Which she quickly shook out of herself. She took a deep breath and got up from the bench. She glanced around at the beautiful scenery and the village,
"This is home now!"
Sophie had given up, she was too tired alot had happened in just over week.
Sophie was heading back to her home. When she noticed what looked like charlotte standing in the distants, at the edge of the village, heading in too the jungle.
"Charlotte?" she called out. But she had dissappeared into the jungle surroundings.
"I'm just hulcinating, im tired" sophie muttered to herself. As she went back indoor. taking one more look back in the jungle.

It was now nightfall at the caves, and Zoe had fallen asleep around the campfire after Charlie had been trying out some new songs on his guitar. Once everyone had fallen asleep, Ethan came over and shook Zoe awake. Zoe's eyes flickered open and she saw Ethan standing over her. She frowned.
"What do you want?" She asked sleepily.
"You are under orders to report to me every night." He hissed, hauling her up onto her feet. "Follow me."
"What?" Zoe asked still half asleep. "Oh no, please, can't this wait until morning?" Ethan grabbed her by her wrist and dragged her away from the caves so they were in a more secluded part in the jungle.
"Ow, Ethan, let go! You're hurting me." Zoe protested through Ethan's tight grip, too tired to defend herself.
"What have you found out today?" Ethan asked, ignoring Zoe's protests, but let her go when he thought they were out of hearing range from everyone else.
"Nothing of much significance." Zoe mumbled sleepily. "Ethan - can't this wait till morning? I'm tiered and I'm getting cold now."
"NO you can't." Ethan snapped. "You've been told to follow my instructions. It's your own fault you are even here in the first place, so you are going to have to face and accept the consequences. Now, I will ask again, for the last time. What have you found out today?"
"Well, nothing really that important." Zoe replied. "Just Locke helping Charlie kick his drug habit, that's all."
"Thank you. Now that wasn't very difficult was it?" Ethan mocked sarcastically.
"What does that information even matter anyway? It isn't even any of our business with what is going on in people's private lives. Why are we collecting all this information anyway?" Zoe asked. Ethan grabbed Zoe by her throat and slammed her hard against the tree behind her, pinning her to it.
"The less you know, the better. If I want you to know something, I will tell you. It is my job to ask the questions, and yours to answer. You hear me?" Ethan asked angrily. Zoe didn't reply, the lack of oxygen making it hard to respond. Ethan's voice got louder. "I said DO YOU HEAR ME?" Zoe managed to nod her head. Ethan let go and she fell to the ground, clutching her throat, getting her breath back.
"What's going on?" She heard someone say. She looked up and saw Jack with a fire torch come into the clearing.
"Nothing." Ethan replied quickly. "Zo - Leah was sleepwalking, I was just stopping her before she got herself really hurt." Jack looked from Ethan to Zoe.
"Are you okay?" He asked her. She nodded and stood up.
"Yeah, I'm fine Jack." She replied, and walked past them both, rubbing her throat, and went back to the caves, taking her place where she was before to go back to sleep.

Mel was sitting on the couch in Ethan's living room when she heard a loud knock on the door. When she pulled it open she saw Ben standing there. He looked positively livid.
"I thought I'd be seeing you soon." she said as she stepped away from the door.
Ben walked in and closed it behind him. Mel didn't notice him turn the lock as well.
"I thought I would come check on you. It's been a few days since you talked to Ethan."
"Of course. You wanted to see how I was holding up?" Mel asked.
"Yes." Ben lied convincingly.
"You're not sure if I told her or not are you?"
"Who are you talking about?"
"Sophie. You're not one hundred percent certain it was me who told her about Zoe and Charlotte. You're afraid you might hurt me like you did Sophie only to find out I wasn't the one who told."
"I see you have everything figured out." Ben said as he stepped into the living room and closer to her.
"I think I'm beginning to. How about I make things easy for you Ben? I did tell Sophie about Zoe. I wanted to know who she was. Ethan spoke of her like he knew her and then I found a file with her name on it on Ethan's desk. I was curious."
"You almost sound jealous Mel. I bet you're dying to get to that beach to be with Ethan." Ben teased.
"I'm not jealous, but I am cautious. This girl, who hasn't even been here a month is out there with him. One slip up and she could blow his cover and put him in danger."
"She's been here longer than you have."
"Regardless, you don't see me running off into the jungle. I don't blame her though. I would want to get away from you too."
"If I didn't know any better I would think you were deliberatley trying to anger me. Is that what you're doing Mel?"
"I don't have to do anything deliberatley Ben. I think I anger you without even trying."
"You do have a point there. Now I need you to answer me this one thing. Why did you tell Sophie about Charlotte when I told you not too?"
"There was your first problem. You shouldn't have ordered me not to say anything. By doing that you pretty much guarenteed I was going to say it to someone if only to spite you. Second, you threatened me with Charlotte's fate. I don't appreciate being threatened. And third, you killed that girl. I don't want Sophie to be your next victim. She needed to be warned about you."
Ben nodded as if he agreed with her and he walked forward.
"I understand your reasoning Mel. But Sophies not the one I want to kill right now." In a flash he shot out his arm and gripped her throat with his strong hand. Then, never releasing his grip on her throat he threw her down to the couch where he towered over her.
"I don't think you realize the severity of what you have done. I gave you an order and not only did you ignore it, you went out of your way to cause me more trouble. I should kill you for all these headaches you have caused me."
Mel felt her self getting lightheaded from a lack of air. She clawed at his hand but he didn't loosen his grip.
"How I wish I could just strangle you right here. It would be so simple. A little longer and you'd fall unconscious. But alas, it's not to be." Ben hauled her up off the couch and threw her to the floor.
Mel gasped as she could finally breathe. Many minutes passed as she regained her breath. She looked up at the insane man standing over her.
"If you want to kill me so badly why don't you just do it?" Mel asked him harshly. "Why do you keep playing this twisted little game?"
Ben closed the distance between them and kneeled in front of her. "I can't kill you because you are to valuable here."
"Valuable? I'm a historian, what is so valuable about that?"
"Silly girl. You don't still think you're here to be the islands Historian do you? Why, you haven't even been given any work since you've been here."
"If I'm not here for a job then why did Ethan bring me here?" Mel asked, confused.
Ben looked at her in surprise, "He didn't tell you?"
"Who, Ethan? Tell me what?"
"Mel, you were brought here for one reason, and that is the same reason why I regrettably cannot cause you any real harm." Then Ben hesitated, "I'm sure Ethan had a good reason for not telling you."
Mel grabbed Ben's arm, "Tell me!"
Ben put his hand over hers, "Mel, you're pregnant."

OMG MEL congratulations  aww baby ethans lol It was 12 days now since the plane had crashed. Sophie was washing up some pots up in the sink. When Ben burst into her house. "Sophie i need you!" He demanded, catching his breath. Sophie took her hands out the soapy water and dried her hands on the tea towel. "Whats wrong?" she asked concerned "Has something happened?" "Please just come with me. We have a situation." "Ok, ok" Sophie tossed the towel to the side, and headed outside with Ben. He took her to one of the buildings she hadn't been in before. It was old and empty and hadn't looked like it had been used in ages. She glanced as she saw Tom guarding a door. "Ben whats going on?" She asked. Ben just nodded at Tom. Like he was signaling him to leave. He waited until Tom had left before he did anything. He opened the door Tom was gaurding. He looked at Sophie, basically telling her to go in. Sophie brushed by him and stood shocked when she saw too young children being hold up in a room. A little boy and girl both looking terrified as they held a toy bear. Sophie looked at Ben, and headed back into the corridor. Ben closed the door slightly. "Why are they locked up?" she snapped "They just children Ben" "They won't be long, i just put them there before i came for you." "Well where have they come from?" "They were at the tail section of the plane" "What so you just took them away from there parents, geez Ben..." But Ben interupted her. "They have no parents! They weren't on the plane. Goodwin found them alone. Its better if they stay here. Thats why i came got you Sophie." Sophie just nodded, "Ok" but she weren't happy that they had just been taken and they were locked up in a room. No wonder they were terrified Sophie headed back in the room, the two children were scared as they tried to move away. "Hey hey its ok, I'm not gonna hurt you" she said. She shut the door on Ben as she sat on the ground. Ben waited outside. "My name is Sophie, What are your names?" she asked. Both the children looking at each other. Hoping one of them would answer first. The young girl plucked up the courage and spoke. "My name is Emma, this is my younger brother Zack" Zack just looked at Sophie a smiled a little. "Wheres Ana lucia?" Emma asked. "I dunno who she is? Is she a friend?" Sophie asked. "She looked after us, when we missed mummy" Emma sighed. Sophie noticed Zack looked like he wanted to cry. Ben was listening in the doorway. When he opened it and came in. "Ana is fine, shes now helping the other people" Ben said as he knelt down infront of them. "Sophie is going to help look after you two" he smiled and looked over to Sophie so that she would agree. Sophie got up and headed over to them offering her hands to them. "You don't have to be scared" she said with a reassuring smile. Zack went over and held her hand, so then Emma joined, but felt unsure. Ben grinned at Sophie and watched her go off with them. |

haha loving you posts btw Mel. Mel doesn't have to get jeleous of Zoe - she is so not interested in Ethan! (as you can tell, lol) love whats going on in your posts too Sophie!
Zoe had been with the lost survivors for fifteen days now, she had spent most of her time getting to know everyone, and feeling immense guilt when she had to tell Ethan everything later. Zoe woke up that morning and saw Charlie head to the beach with Claire, as he had promised to help protect her since she thought she had been attacked in her dreams. Zoe could sense that Charlie was about to look over at her, and she looked away. She couldn't look him in the eye, not when she had helped Ethan inject Claire with whatever it was in the middle of the night. Ethan had told her that he was helping Claire, but Zoe hadn't believed him. She had tried to keep conversations with him to a bare minimal when possible.
Zoe looked up again in Charlie's direction after a few minutes and they were gone.
"Zoe." Came a quiet voice from behind her. She looked round and saw Ethan standing over her.
"Do you want to get out cover blown?" She snapped quietly at him. "My name is Leah around here." Ethan's eyes flashed dangerously at her, but Zoe ignored it, she wasn't going to allow him to bully her when he felt like it.
"Leah, follow me for a moment. I need to talk to you." Ethan said and walked off into the jungle. Zoe frowned, but got up and followed him.
"What is it?" She asked, sighing heavily when she was sure they were both out of ear shot of the plane crash surviors.
"I've just been talking to Ben. He wants us to bring Claire in tonight." He explained. Zoe stared at Ethan.
"When did you speak to Ben?" She asked curiously. Ethan reached into his pocket and revealed a walkie talkie he had in his pocket. ah, so that is how he knows Zoe thought to herself as she looked at the walkie talkie. She looked back up at Ethan.
"What do you mean 'bring her in'?" Zoe asked.
"As in we have to take her with us back to Ben." Ethan replied. "And you are going to help."
"What - you mean kidnap her?" Zoe asked. Ethan nodded.
"Why?" Zoe asked, a little shocked.
"The reason why isn't very important information you need to know. You just need to do as you are asked - no questioned asked. You hear me?" Ethan replied snappily.
"I hear you, but that doesn't mean I'm listening Ethan." Zoe replied angrily. "I'm not going to help you kidnap Claire, let alone kidnap her without a reason!"
"You don't have a choice. You are here to follow my orders, and you will do as you are instructed, otherwise I am sure Ben will be thinking of calling off your precious search again. Is that what you want?" Ethan smirked. Zoe didn't say anything and walked past him.
"Let me know when you need my help." She snapped bitterly and went back to the caves. She sat down by the camp fire. Aftter about ten minutes or so, Hurley came over to her.
"Hi Hurley." She sighed heavily as he sat beside her.
"Hey dude. What's up?" He asked.
"Oh nothing - just got a lot on my mind. Don't worry, I shan't burden them with you." Zoe replied.
"I don't mind." Hurley replied shrugging. "I make a good listener."
"I'd rather not talk about it though. Sorry Hurley." Zoe replied.
"Okay - well, if you won't let me help you, will you help me?" Hurley asked polietly.
"Yeah sure." Zoe replied. Hurley showed her his clipboard he had in his hands.
"This is a census." He explained as he showed her the list of names with some details on them. Zoe felt her heart beat faster, she thought for a moment it was Ethan's list. "I'm getting everyone's names down with details about where they are from and why they were in Sydney - why they were going to L.A - I thought it would be a good idea, after Claire getting attacked and everything. Do you mind if I ask you some questions?" Zoe relaxed after Hurley finished what he explained.
"Sure Hurley. Ask away." Zoe replied smiling at him.
"So - full name?"
"Leah Ella Spencer." Zoe replied.
"You were in Sydney because...?" Hurley continued.
"Part of my gap year." Zoe replied, lying smoothly. "Was going to L.A to visit my Aunt before heading back to England." Hurley nodded.
"Thanks Leah - I better carry on with this. See you later." Hurley replied, smiling at her before getting up and walking over to Jack.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zoe was at the stream helping herself to water when Ethan approached her.
"It's time." He said to her. "Claire is in the middle of the jungle having contractions. We have to take her now while it is so easy. Follow me." Ethan then walked quickly into the jungle, and Zoe jogged to keep up.
"How are we going to do this?" She asked Ethan.
"You know how to use an injecton don't you?" Ethan asked, handing her a needle as they contiued to walk swiftly through the jungle.
"Well...yeah! But not on people!" She replied worridly.
"Not much difference - just find the vein, and I'll deal with the rest." Ethan reassured her. "You go on ahead - just straight ahead is where she is, I'll only be a minute behind, I just need to fetch something." Zoe frowned, but regrettably did as she was told. She arrived and saw Charlie with Claire.
"Claire?" Zoe said cautiously to them as she approached them.
"Leah! Have you seen Ethan? He went to get Jack. Have you seen Jack? We need him quickly!" Charlie asked. Zoe's face fell, and she bit her lip before replying, feeling awful for having to lie to him.
"Yeah, I saw Ethan run past me while I was walking through the jungle." She lied convingly. She walked over closer to Charlie and Claire. "How frequent are they?"
"They've actually stopped now." Charlie explained. "False labour. The baby is just kicking now. Look, feel." Charlie gently grabbed Zoe's hand and placed it on Claire's tummy. She felt the baby kick, feeling warmth spread through her body, it was the strangest feeling she ever had.
"Wow." She whispered.
"Hello there." Came a voice from behind her. She turned and saw Ethan looking at them all.
Charlie looked up at Ethan, a confused expression on his face. "Ethan, where's Jack?"

Sophie took Emma and Zack to her home.
"You hungry?" she asked looking in the fridge, "I can make you a sandwich or something?"
Both the children nodded. Sophie prepared them a chicken sandwich each, with a glass of juice. She set them on the table as they both sat there waiting. As soon as she put the plates down on the table. Emma and Zack quickly started to scoff them down. They probally hadn't had a decent meal in ages.
It had been a few hours since the kids been with Sophie, they finally felt settle and more relaxed being with her. Both of them seemed tired. So Sophie let them sleep in Charlottes room.
She placed a blanket over them and then headed out to the corridor. She watched them for a few minutes leaning against the door frame.
"Poor kids" she sighed
"Sophie?" a voice called from the front door. Sophie went over and saw Ben coming in.
"Hi, How are they doing?"
"They fine Ben, they now sleeping, poor little things have been through so much."
"I've made some arrangements, they gonna stay with Bea for a while"
"Oh....?" said Sophie
"We just want to run some health tests and stuff with them"
Sophie looked at him unsure.
"Its fine, normal procedure, we did the same for you before you came remember?"
Sophie thought back and remembered, "Ok" She headed into the kicthen to finsh of those pots before, when Ben burst into see her.
"Here let me help" he said, grabbing a towel, to dry the pots.
"What do you want ben?"
"I'm sorry?"
"From me? I mean you come into my home and act as if everything is ok!"
"And its not?"
"No its not Ben!" she snapped, then realising she has to be quiet becuase of the children. She took her hands out of the sink, snatched the towel of ben to wipe her hands with. Turning her back to him.
"Then what can i do to make everything ok?" ben asked walking over to her.
"Grrrr just leave me alone" as she turned back around to hit him. But ben grabbed her wrist, He glanced at it as he saw all the brusied marks on her wrist. The ones he had caused.
"Get off me" trying to fight off him, hitting him with her other hand to his chest. Until she broke down in tears, slowly hitting him until she stopped. Ben let go when sophie gave up.
"I don't want this" she whispered, looking down to the ground. Ben put a finger to her chin and rasied her head up to make her look at him.
"Then tell me what you want Sophie?" he asked.
Sophie leaned in and kissed him, then qiukly pulled away.
"I'm sorry" she said, moving away from him. But Ben pulled her towards her, and responded back kissing her again. Sophie wrapped her arms around him, running her fingers through his hair. As they stood there kissing each other, enjoying there little moment together.

Ethan withdrew a gun from his back pocket and looked at Zoe, using his other hand to take out strips of black material and he threw it to her.
"Tie them both up." He ordered. Zoe stared opened mouthed back at him.
"What! No! I'm not doing that." Zoe protested. Ethan aimed the gun at Charlie.
"Do it!" He said forcefully. "And blindfold them."
"What's going on Ethan?" Charlie asked, looking at the gun, holding Claire. Ethan just stared at him, his gun pointed at his chest. Zoe was frozen on the spot, she didn't know what to do.
"What are you waiting for?" Ethan shouted at her. Zoe jumped and then got to doing what she was told to do.
"I'm sorry." She whispered to them both. "I'll figure out how to get us out of this, I promise." She tied Charlie up first, and then blindfolded him before tying Claire's hands behind her back and blindfolded her. Ethan walked over to them quickly.
"The injection!" He snapped at her. Zoe shakily took out the needle in her pocket, stabbing it into Claire's arms. Ten seconds went by and Claire fell to the ground unconcious. Ethan then hit Charlie over the head with his gun, and Zoe screamed in response to it.
"Please Ethan, we can leave him! Please, don't hurt him!" Zoe pleaded. Ethan didn't reply, hoistinf Charlie over his shoulders.
"You take Claire, and follow me." He said to her, ignoring her pleas.
"Ethan -" Zoe began again, but Ethan then turned his gun on her.
"Just do as your told you silly little girl!" He spat. Zoe went quiet and shuffled behind Claire, lifting her from under her arms and started to follow Ethan through the jungle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zoe had lost count of the amount of hours they had spent dragging Charlie and Claire through the jungle.
"Where are we taking them?" Zoe asked after a while.
"I said - to Ben." Ethan replied.
"No, I didn't ask who - I asked where." Zoe replied. "We're going the wrong way to go back to the village."
"Yeah, you are right, that's because we are taking them to a medical station." Ethan replied. He then stopped and put Charlie down on the ground.
"Wait here a minute - I just need to go back. I'll only be ten minutes." Ethan said and took off before Zoe could reply. Zoe stood there not sure what to do. She looked at Charlie and Claire who lay on the jungle floor lifelessly. An idea suddenly sprung to her mind. She could let them go. Zoe crouched down beside Charlie and untied his arms, removing his blingfold. His eyes were still shut.
"Charlie..." Zoe whispered trying to wake him up, but there was no response. He had a large bruise on his head from where Ethan had knocked him over the head with his gun.
"Charlie!" Zoe persisted, raising her voice this time. Still, no response. She slapped him across the face, Charlie's eyes flickered open.
"Wha-" Charlie murmered.
"Charlie! Help me with Claire - we're going to get out of here! But quick, he'll be back soon." Zoe whispered quickly, helping to lift him up.
"Where's Ethan?" Charlie asked cautiously, looking around.
"He's gone - but he'll be back soon - so we've gotta hurry!" Zoe replied, returning to Claire's side and lifting under her shoulders,. "Charlie help me!" She said sharply to him as he still gazed around.
"Oh yeah. sorry!" Charlie replied, and helped lift Claire on the other side of her shoulder. Zoe and Charlie went to the left to try and circle round the direction they had come from. They thought they were making good progress as they had left the area of the jungle Ethan had left Zoe with them, Charlie and Zoe picking up the pace as much as they could, not saying anything to each other, trying to save their breath with carrying Claire through the jungle. Suddenly, Charlie fell to the ground. Zoe wipped round and saw Ethan. He had creeped up on them and hit Charlie round with a stick.
"No!-" Zoe managed to scream at him before he hit her unconcious around the head with the stick too. Zoe started to drift in and out of concious. Through blurred vision, she could just make out Ethan standing over Charlie, then everything went black, a few minutes later, her eyes slowly flickered open, and she saw Ethan rigging Charlie so that he hung by his neck, swinging lifelessy. Zoe tried to scream and call out in protest, but sunk straight back into unconciousness.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ethan had managed to drag Claire and Zoe to the medical station, he lifted Claire onto a bed in a nicely decorated nursery before calling Danny on his walkie.
"Danny, I have Zoe with me, please will you come and pick her up - take her back to the village." He said down the walkie.
"I'm just five minutes away, I'll be there soon." Danny replied. Ethan smiled and lifted Zoe over her shoulders to carry her to the enterance of the medical station. Danny appeared as he had said, in just five minutes. He took Zoe off of Ethan and carried her back to the village. It was nightfall by the time he got back to the village. He saw lights on at the house Danny knew that Zoe had been staying at. He went over to it and opened the door, catching Ben and Sophie in the kitchen kissing.
"Er...Ben." Danny interrupted, feeling slightly uncomfortable. Ben and Sophie stopped, not having noticed that Danny had opened the door. Danny continued to talk before Ben responded. "Sorry to interrupt Ben, but - Ethan - he's got Littleton at the medical station. I've brought back Zoe - she's unconcious. It appears she tried to interfer and set Pace and Littleton free when Ethan wasn't looking. What shall I do with her?" Ben stood and thought for a moment.
"Put her on the sofa, I've got an idea." Ben replied looking from Danny to Zoe who was slung over his shoulders.

oh snap, I wonder what Ben's going to do with Zoe!
Mel walked aimlessly around the courtyard. It had been a few days since Ben had told her she was pregnant with Ethan's baby. Part of her thought he was lying to get her to cooperate but the other part of her was hopeful. She was beginning to like the idea of having a child with Ethan.
"Mel!" Ben yelled across the courtyard hurrying up to her.
She still didn't like Ben so she tried to ignore him.
"Mel!" he yelled again closer.
"What?" she hollered back.
"I need you to come with me. I need your help."
"With what?" she asked as she noted a slight look of unease on Ben's face.
"With Ethan."
Mel followed without another word.
***************************************************
Mel, Ben, and Tom had been walking for hours. When Ben told her Ethan needed help she had thought he was home. She didn't realize he'd be out in the jungle.
"Ben, where are we going?" she asked.
"To the medical station." he answered quickly.
"Is Ethan there?"
"Yes."
When they arrived at the medical station Mel didn't have time to ask why there doors led underground. Ben and Tom whisked her inside and shut the doors behind them.
Ben turned to Mel, "Mel listen. Ethan may seem a little different when you see him. He seems to have changed slightly since he's been with the crash survivors."
"What do you mean?" she asked worriedly.
"Maybe it's better if you see for yourself." Ben said as he led her down the hallway and opened a door. "We'll be out here if you need anything."
Mel was confused at his words but she entered the room anyway. When she stepped in Ben closed the door behind her but she didn't notice. She was standing in one of the most beautiful nurseries she'd ever seen. The room contained everything a baby could possibly need.
"Wow." she said under her breath.
"Who's there?" called someone from the corner.
Mel looked towards the voice and saw Ethan standing over the crib.
"Ethan!" she excalimed with excitement and rushed over to him. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly. "God, it's good to see you. I missed you so much."
Ethan didn't pay much attention to her. He patted her twice on the shoulder and said, "Yes, me too." He continued to gaze into the empty crib.
"Ethan, is everything alright?" she asked taking a step back from him.
"Hmm?" he said finally looking up from the crib. "Oh, hi Mel."
"Hi. Could I talk to you for a minute?"
Ethan looked from the crib to Mel. "Of course." he said.
"Ethan. When were you planning on telling me we were going to have a baby?" Mel asked.
Ethan didn't look surprised at all that she knew she was pregnant, "It was never the right time. I'm sorry for that." he explained as he turned his gaze back to the crib.
"I'm sorry, is something distracting you?" she asked getting a little angry.
Ethan smiled and motioned her forward, "Come here and look." he said pointing to the crib. "Isn't it wonderful? Claire's baby is going to love it."
"Who is Claire?" Mel wondered. "And why are you worrying about her baby?"
"Claire is going to have her baby soon and then he will live here."
"Ok. What about our baby Ethan, can we talk about that?"
"Can it wait until later? I'd really like to get back to what i was doing." Ethan said as he turned away from her.
Mel didn't know how to repsond. Where was the Ethan she knew? Where was the Ethan who had told her he loved her mere days ago?
"You're more concerned with Claire's baby then you are with our own." she said outloud, almost to herself. But Ethan heard her.
"Yes, yes. I will see you later."
Mel backed slowly to the door as the one ray of hope she had left on the island began to dim. She left the room and pulled the door shut behind her.
Ben and Tom looked at her and exchanged a worried glance and Mel leaned against the wall.
"What have they done to him?" she asked aloud as she sank to the floor and began to cry.

Zoe's eyes slowly started to open. Her vision was slightly blurred. She sat up, rubbing her eyes to clear up her vision, and she saw that she was in her shared house, on the sofa with a light blanket on her. She could tell from the window it was light outside - probably about midday
"Charlie!?" Zoe called out. "Claire!?" Ben was behind her, in the kitchen having a cup of tea when she woke up. He walked into the living area and infront of Zoe.
"Thank goodness." He said calmly to her. "You've woken up finally."
"Where's Claire?" Zoe demanded. "What did you do to Charlie?!" Ben frowned at her.
"What are you talking about?" He asked.
"Ethan! He made me help him kidnap Charlie and Claire! He killed him Ben! Ethan killed an innocent man! I want to know what's going on! Where is Claire!? Where is Charlie?!" Zoe shouted angrily. Ben continued with his calm look, still with a confused expression on his face.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about Zoe. You hit your head - pretty badly - you fell down the porch steps of the house - you've been knocked out for just over two weeks." Ben explained. Zoe glared at Ben, clearly not believing him.
"That can't be right! I remember the plane crash! I remember you sending Ethan and Goodwin to investigate! Then I went myself! I remember - you got angry, and I had to follow Ethan's orders - to kidnap Claire, and bring her back - but he took Charlie as well - and then hung him!" Zoe replied almost crying now.
"Shhhh shh shh." Ben continued calmly. "No, that didn't happen my dear Zoe. Yes, there was a plane crash, and yes, I sent Ethan and Goodwin to go help them. But that was it. When you went home, you tripped backwards on the porch steps, banger your head pretty hard on the concrete path." Zoe looked into Ben's eyes to see if he was lying. His eyes looked softly back at him. Then Zoe noticed his hand, slightly shaking. She looked up at him again.
"Really?" She asked.
"Really." Ben confirmed. "Look, I'll make you some tea. But then I have to go. I've been reguarly checking on you to make sure you were alright. Now you are awake, and seem healthy enough, I really must resume my duties. I'll just make you some tea, and then I'll be on my way." Zoe didn't take in what Ben was saying however, staring into space, his voice echoed in the background as she remembered everything that had happened on the beach with the plane crash survivors. She knew Ben was lying - he was trying to cover something up - or stop Zoe interferring. Something definatly wasn't right about this. Zoe couldn't get the picture out of her head - Charlie swinging in mid air, suspended by the bendy twigs Ethan had used as rope to hand him. Zoe felt her stomache turn. She had to go back to the plane surviors and tell them the whole truth, she couldn't let them all die - she couldn't let what happened to Charlie happen to them. What made it all worse too was that she had helped Ethan. She had helped Ethan kill Charlie, and that was going to be with her the rest of her life. She felt sick, but did her best to not show it on the outside. If she was going to get back to the beach and the caves, she had to make it look like everything was alright, and that she was falling for what Ben was trying to pull.
"Hey - day dreamer." Ben said, bringing Zoe back to reality. Ben was knealing in front of her, holding out a muf of hot tea for her.
"Oh - sorry - thanks." She replied taking the mug from him.
"Not at all!" Ben replied smiling. "You are feeling alright, aren't you?" Ben asked. Zoe nodded.
"Good!" He replied beaming. "Anyway, I'll be back later to check up on you later, if you do need anything though, I'll be around the village, to look around for me, or ask someone like Danny, Richard, Tom etc. Okay?" Zoe nodded and Ben smiled again before he left. Zoe stared down at her tea, the liquid still swirling around in her mug from where Ben had stirred the milk in it, plans formulating in her head already for what she needed to do.

Sophie blushed after Danny burst in and caught her and Ben kissing. She saw him carry Zoe to the sofa, and stood quietly as she watched Ben and Danny discussing what to do next.
Danny went off and left Ben with Sophie.
"Zoe was here all along she never left the village, she tripped on the porch steps and knocked herself out and shes been out of it the last 2 weeks."
"What are you on about Ben?"
"Thats her story when she wakes up"
"I don't understand"
"Just play along ok? You can do that for me" Ben kissed Sophie on the forehead.
"But why?" as she looked up to him.
"For her own safety Sophie" as he stroked a piece of hair away from her face. "Now i want you to wake the children up, take them to Bea."
Sophie looked at unsure.
"You'll see them again soon"
"And Zoe?"
"I'll stay and look after her"
................................................................................................
Sophie was heading back home as she saw Ben come out of her house, she ran over to him.
"Zoe's awake now, remember what i said" He gave her that look she had seen before. The same look before he hurt her. Sophie nodded timidly, Ben smiled, "I have to go somewhere, come and see me later ok?" he asked
"Ok," said Sophie as she watched him go off. Sophie headed back to house before she went in she took a deep breath. Before she had to start lying to Zoe
