"You're a fool Sophie." Mel said as she readjusted her grip on her gun.
"Mel, put the gun down." Sophie said trying to sound calm but Mel could hear the edge of fear in her voice.
**************************************************
Mel and Christian had been making their way through the jungle for hours before they heard a noise. They hid behind some brush and saw Sophie walk by.
"No doubt she's just come from seeing John." Christian whispered.
"You go the way she came. If you find John, kill him."
Christian nodded, "Be safe darling." then he was gone.
Mel left her hiding spot and followed Sophie, they had unfinished business.
***************************************************
"I'm not putting my gun down Sophie. I plan on using it." Mel said as she aimed at Sophie.
Suddenly the gun flew out of her hands and landed ten feet away.
"Are you?" Sophie chided.
Mel shrugged, "That's okay, I don't need a gun to kill you."
Sophie took a step closer, "What makes you think that you can kill me?"
"Determination. Plus, it is what has to be done." Mel smirked. "But I can't say I'll feel bad for it. I should have killed you ages ago."
"You mean when Jacob told you to?" Sophie asked.
"Yes. I should have listened to him. Then none of this would be happening."
"The war? You think that if I was dead you would all be living in peace?"
"I think that you are driving this farther than it needs to go. You're overestimating yourself and what you can do. And what I'm most afraid of it that Ben is becoming your pawn. And the fact that he can't see it, is very disappointing."
"How do you know what I can do?"
"You threw my husband across a room without touching him. That and what Jacob has told me. I have a pretty good idea. I find it funny that you need special powers to fight your battles while the rest of us just go on skill."
"Fine." Sophie glared. "Why don't we settle this the old fasioned way? No guns, no special anything. Just fists."
Mel smiled, "Deal."
Sophie smirked then charged her. Sophie threw her to the ground and jumped on top of her. She managed to punch her hard in the face twice before Mel could throw her off. Mel stood and grabbed Sophie's hair. She kneed her in the stomach before hauling her off the ground and shoving her against a tree. She slammed Sophie's head into the trunk of the tree.
"I am sick of you ruining my life!" Mel yelled at her. "Since I came to this island you have gotten in my way. First with Ben, who is a fool for loving you and now with Christian. I'm not going to let you do it anymore!" Mel cried as she punched Sophie as hard as she could.
Sophie stumbled back. Blood trickled down her face as it flushed red with anger.
"I've ruined your life?" she said in disbelief. "You came and stole Ben away from me not the other way around!"
"He picked me first! Before he even knew who you were. I was pregnant with his child before you even knew about this island!"
"Then you did a pretty s**ty job holding his interest didn't you? Why does it even matter? You're in love with your precious Christian now. Forget about Ben."
"I can't. I can't let you bring him down with you."
"Why not? After everything he has done to you, you should hate him. Why can't you just let him go."
"Because I still care about him!" Mel yelled. "I don't want him to die. And if this continues, he is going to."
Sophie shook her head, "What do you think is going to happen? You think I'm going to hurt him, kill him?"
Mel glared at Sophie, "Yes, you can't even control your powers."
Sophie eyes narrowed and her hands clenched. "You don't think I can? I'll show you."
Sophie stared at Mel and without warning Mel was lifted off of the ground and thrown hard into a tree. But it didn't stop there, Sophie threw her all around the clearing before dropping her from high above the ground.
Mel could barely breath. Her entire body was on fire. She felt like she had been crushed. Her vision began to go hazy and she knew this was it. The last thing she saw was Sophie standing over her smirking before she sank into darkness.

Sophie stared at Mel for a moment. Her whole body shaking from the affect off her powers. She huffed then straighten herself up feeling some cuts and bruise on her body from the fight. She knew Ben won't be pleased.
"Goodbye Mel" Sophie stated before heading back to the village.
.........................................................
She noticed Jack, Juliet and a few others standing around together in the village. Noticing Zoe come out from a house with Sawyer, holding a swaddle she knew it was Abbie. Ben noticed Sophie and took Molly with him and headed over to her.
"You were gone a while!" he said, then seeing her close up. "Whats happened?" he asked. "I told you not......"
"Not now Ben." she said taking his hand and walking over with him and Molly to the funeral.

Emma took a moment to orient herself and to note the precise location of John Locke's habitat. She had a pretty good idea of where she was, thanks to her days of surviving alone in the jungle. Then she ran, before either Locke or Sophie changed their mind. She would be back, and next time she would be prepared.
Out of nowhere she ran straight into Christian. Both of them were caught by surprise.
"Christian! Do you have weapon?" Emma asked, breathlessly.
Christian arched an eyebrow and revealed the gun nestled in his belt. "Are you proposing a duel?"
"No!" Emma shrieked. "Christian, if you take Locke out of the way, then I will never give you trouble again. I will do whatever you need me to do against the others, without questioning."
"Do I have your word on this?"
Emma nodded forcefully. "If you do this, then you will have my full loyalty."
Christian chuckled. "Well since I was on my way to kill Locke anyway, then having my grandchild's mother on my side is an added benefit. Show me where he is."
"There's something else you should know. I don't think Locke is working for Ben; I think he's working for Sophie."
Christian was clearly surprised. This was significant news; he had seen Sophie's growing powers firsthand. After a moment, he said "Let's go."
Emma led him back in the direction she had come from. After a few moments she turned around to face him. "Is Jack looking for me?" she asked. "Is he okay?"
Christian stroked her back reassuringly. "Jack is worried about you, but he's fine. I told him to stay in the village. We'll get back to him soon, I promise."
Emma sighed with relief, then braced herself for the bloody business before them. They continued towards John Locke's home.

Molly started to cry and scream as Sophie took her off Molly she went off to the swings to calm her down. Not wanting to make a big scene at the funeral. Ben turned then followed behind her as she sat Molly on the seat and started to push her gently.
"You going to tell me whats going on?" he asked. "Why had you got blood brusies on you? Whats going on Sophie?" he asked.
"I had a fight with Mel. I was coming home when she came at me with a gun."
"What? Are you all right?" he asked concerned
"Im fine........"
"Where is she?" he said not happy.
"Shes dead." Sophie stated, "I killed her. She pushed my buttons Ben. She made me angry."
Ben stood shocked he couldnt beleive it. "Im sorry Ben." Sophie said picking up Molly and walking in her house.
"Sophie!" Ben shouted across the village at her.

Zoe looked up when Ben shouted, heads turned as people watched Sophie go back to her house with Mel. They didn't watch long though, and Zoe resumed to listening to Sawyer, reading out his speech. When he finished, he went back to Zoe's side.
Zoe took a heavy steadied breath before standing up.
"Abbie was taken from me un-mercifully. But I forgive those responsible for her death, because I believe in karma, and that those who are responsible for the death of my only daughter, will get theirs. I named Abbie after my mother. She died too. Drug overdose. I suppose that is something they both had in common. They were weak. They couldn't cope without their loved ones support. Without help. The difference is that my mother chose to die. Abbie fought for her life, but she just wasn't strong enough. I only hope that now they both have each other, that they are happy. They both didn't deserve to die..."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After her speech, Zoe returned to Sawyer's side, who took her hand and squeezed it supportingly. Zoe hugged him, as she did she retched. She pushed Sawyer away, and ran off, quickly, just making it to her and Sawyer's place, to the bathroom, where she threw up.

Emma and Christian hiked in silence for a few moments, each lost in their own thoughts. They were interrupted by a sudden piercing shriek, followed by a series of explosions. Emma turned to look behind her, wide-eyed. Not far behind Christian, a familiar black cloud of smoke was careening straight for them, uprooting trees in its path.
"Christian! RUN!" she yelled. They ran as fast as their legs could carry them. Emma spotted a grove of banion trees, one of which contained a small protected space encircled by roots.
Christian read her thoughts and pushed her into the small space before squeezing in himself. They huddled close together, refusing to give in to their fear as the black cloud flew towards them, expanding as it surrounded the tree. Whispered voices tried to lure them out. Emma swore she heard Desmond's thick Scots accent mingled among them. "Not this way!" was what she heard. She shook her head in confusion, believing it was all in her head.
The cloud circled the tree several times and the whispers intensified. Again, Emma heard Desmond's voice. "Not this way!" Then, just as suddenly as it had descended upon them, the cloud vanished.
Christian and Emma waited several moments before venturing out of their protected space. The jungle was quiet; the danger seemed to have passed.
Emma glanced at Christian, her face ashen. "Did you hear Desmond's voice?"
Christian nodded. "I did."
"We can't just kill Locke," Emma realized. "We need to find a way for the island to take care of it. That's the only way."
"Are you sure that's what it was telling us?" Christian asked, never one to trust without questioning.
"I'm certain. Whether or not Jacob believes in Locke, he still seems to have the island's protection. We have to find a way around it."
Christian hesitated. "Will I still have your support, even if we don't kill him now?"
"I swear, Christian. As long as your fight ends in John Locke's death, I am behind you."
Christian was satisfied with her answer. "Let's go home, then." Emma heartily agreed. She was as anxious to see Jack as Christian was to see Mel.

Christian and Emma had been walking for only an hour when they stopped in the clearing.
"Oh my God." Emma whispered when she saw the huddled form on the ground.
"Mel!" Christian yelled as he ran to her side. He fell to his knees beside her as tears began to fall from his eyes.
"Darling?" he whispered as he took in her broken body. His picked up her head and cradled it in his lap. "Darling, wake up."
Emma moved closer and what she saw was terrifying. It looked as if Mel had been crushed. She was covered in blood and she wasn't breathing.
Christian began to rock Mel, holding her body tightly. "Mel, you can't be dead. I need you here! Darling, please wake up!"
Emma kneeled next to the distraught Christian, "She's not going to wake up Christian, I'm sorry." she said placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.
Christian threw her hand off, a sudden rage coming to his eyes. He looked down at Mel and kissed her forehead before setting her back on the ground and standing.
"I know who did this." he seethed and started for the village.
"Christian?" Emma called.
"Stay with her Emma. I'll return soon." he said over his shoulder.
Emma looked down at Mel's body again before moving away. She found a fallen log to sit on and before she could help it, she began to cry.
****************************************************
"Ben!" Christian screamed in front of Ben's house. "Get out here now!"
At his words everyone in the village came out to their porches, curious at what was happening.
Ben opened his front door walked out and closed it behind him. "What can I do for you Christian?" he asked civilly.
"You can bring me your wife!"
"What for?"
"Because she killed my wife, Mel." Christian's voice wavered at Mel's name. "And I want revenge."
There was a collective gasp from everyone in the village. They found it hard to believe that Mel was really dead. Both Jack and Juliet left Christian's house and ran towards him.
"Are you sure Mel is dead?" Ben asked softly. The thought obviously bothering him.
"I held her broken body in my arms. Yes, she is dead." Christian cried.
The door behind Ben opened and Sophie stepped outside.
"Why?" Christian yelled, "Why did you kill her?" he roared at Sophie.
Sophie shrugged, "She deserved it. Mel deserved to die."
Christian lunged for Ben's porch but was stopped by Jack.
"Hold on dad." Jack said quietly then looked up at Ben.
"Did you know about this?" he asked him.
"Only just." Ben answered.
"I told him after it was done." Sophie said and took hold of Ben's hand. In an act which surprised everyone, Ben removed his hand from Sophie's and took a step away from her.
"I'd like to see her body." Ben said, not looking at Sophie.
Sophie took a deep breathe to control her anger, "She's out in the jungle, go find her." she said before returning to the house and slamming the door behind her.
Ben moved down the steps until he was in front of Christian. "I know you don't like me and I'm not terribly fond of you either. But right now I want to help you."
"Help me with what?"
Ben looked down sadly, "I want to help you bury Mel. Please, it's the least I can do."
Christian continued to glare at Ben and Jack whispered something in his ear. Christian's eyes softened and he nodded.
"Good." Ben said. "We should go."
Ben, Christian, Jack and Juliet set off into the jungle, each of them lost in their own memories of Mel and surprise that she was gone.

Sawyer thought about going after Zoe when she ran off, but continued with the funeral, however, it didn't go uninterrupted for long when people noticed Christian storm through the village to Ben and Sophie's. Sawyer noticed Jack and Juliet exchange worried glances, and they ran over.
Sawyer sighed heavily, and picked up some dirt and threw it into Abbie's grave before sprinting back to his own to hear Zoe retching. He found her in the bathroom throwing up. He rushed to her side, brushing her hair out of the way.
"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked concerend as she continued to throw up.
"I'm sick." Zoe replied, breathing heavily.
"Mel's dead." Sawyer said suddenly. Zoe flushed the toilet and put her head under the tap of the sink, swallowing and gargling some water, spitting it out in the sink.
"What?" She asked, feeling something ride up her throat again.
"Sophie killed her." Sawyer explained.
Zoe swallowed, and stuck her head uner the tap again, taking more to drink. She then left the bathroom and out the house, towards Sophie's, Sawyer following her.
"What are you doing?" Sawyer asked catching up with her.
"Where did she kill her?" Zoe asked.
"In the jungle - why?" Sawyer continued. Zoe diverted her direction towards the jungle, Sawyer catching up, trying to stop her.
"I don't think that's a good idea - you#re sick, and Christian is very angry-"
"I don't care. If she's dead, I wanna make sure. I need to see it." Zoe replied firmly.
"Now isn't really the right time." Sawyer persisted.
"She killed my father James!" Zoe insisted and picked up her pace.

Emma sat cross legged beside Mel's body and watched over her. They had never really been friends, but hers was another unnecessary death, and it was so soon after Desmond's. She couldn't help but mourn, and hoped Mel had found finally found the peace that had eluded her in life.
The silence was broken by the sound of approaching voices and footsteps. Emma jumped to her feet in alarm, fearing either Locke or Sophie had returned for her. She was surprised to find that Christian had returned so quickly, and had brought Jack, Juliet and, strangely, Ben with him.
Jack's face lit up as he caught sight of Emma, obviously relieved to find her unharmed. He ran ahead of the others to meet her and caught her in his arms. They held each other tightly, reluctant to let go, whispering privately to each other. Finally, they pulled away, and Jack clutched Emma's hand tightly as they watched the others react to Mel's lifeless body.

It had been a few hours since Ben returned home. He shut the door behind him and looked over to Sophie. Not pleased at her actions. "I warned you Sophie. I said too you too back off. I can't help you now. Hes gonna come after you, and i can't stop him." he said.
"I don't care" she huffed "Why did you do that? embarrsess me infront of all those people....."
"Your asking me why! Sophie i care for her..... Cared! She was once my lover, my friend a mother too our children. Of course i was gonna greive for her loss. You were just foolish, i told you not to do anything and you still did. I could of changed her brought her to our side."
"And what about me Ben? If she came back to us, i would of been piggy in the middle again. Fighting for your affection."
"You killed her out of jealousy?" he asked
"No!" Sophie anger flew up as she stood up from her chair. Making the room shake, an object flew at Ben and hit on the head. Sophie gasped when everything stopped and saw Ben hurt. "I'm sorry" she said rushing over to him to check he was ok. Ben just looked at her sitting down on the chair as sophie rushed to kitchen grabbing someice and wrapping it in a towel. Placing it on his head. "I'm sorry......" she kept reapting. Ben grabbed her hand to calm her down.
"I stopped loving her the day she aimed a gun at me and shot me." Ben spoke...... "Now come here" as he wrapped an arm around her. "I can't stop him, but im going to help you." he whispered. But in his mind he was fearing at Sophie ablities.
........................................................
Sophie kissed Mollys forehead. "I love you" she whispered as she watched her peacefully sleep. She glanced over to Ben as he fallen asleep on his arm chair. Placing a blanket over him. Kissing his forehead too he slipped a note into his fingers. Hearing John tap at the window she glanced over then headed to the front door. Grabbing her backpack she opened it.
"You ready?" John asked.
"Yes." as she glanced over to her family. Her eyes started to fill with tears....." Lets go!"
................................................
Ben awoke a few hours later the moonlight shining brightly. He noticed the note in his hand and opened it up.
To my dearest Ben,
I love you and Molly so much, and im scared im gonna harm you both. We both saw what i did today and i couldn't control it. I'm doing this to protect you both, from me and Christian.
Don't come after me.
I love you always Sophie.
Ben instanly jumped out of the chair calling her name around the house, till he realised she really had gone.

Christian, Jack, Emma and Juliet all filed into Christian's house. Christian sat on the couch and held hid head in his hands. Just the thought of sleeping in an empty bed without Mel tonight was driving him to tears.
They'd just finished burying Mel. They, with the help of Ben, had carried her from the jungle to the village's cemetary. They buried her next to Ethan's grave. Christian knew he would be spending a lot of time there, mourning his wife.
"The kids are asleep." Juliet said as she came back into the room.
"Good." Christian nodded, "I don't think I could of handled telling them tonight."
Jack sat next to his father, "I'm sorry dad. This shouldn't have happened this way."
"It shouldn't have happened at all." Emma chimed.
They all sat in silence, no one sure what to say or do next.
Finally, Juliet raised her tear-stained face, "So what are we going to do?"
"What do you mean?" Jack asked.
"Well, we can't just let Sophie get away with this. She killed Mel and she's not even sorry for it. We have to do something." Juliet cried.
"What do you propose, that we kill her?" Emma asked.
"You all saw what Sophie did to Mel. Who's to say she won't do the same to all of us?"
"Juliet's right." Christian said, startling them all. "What happened to Mel, Sophie couldn't have done with her bare hands. She is far more dangerous than any of us thought."
"So what do we do?" Jack wondered.
Christian took a deep breath, "First, we mourn Mel. Then we find Sophie."

"Richard can you get to my house urgently" Ben asked down a walkie.
"Yes......" he mumbled waking up from a deep sleep. "Be there in a second." he replied.
Ben sighed then went and checked on Molly. Hearing the front door go he went over to Richard.
"Ben whats wrong?" he asked.
"This!" as Ben handed Sophies letter to Richard. Opening it up he read it. "She doesnt want me to go after her. But it doesnt stop you." he said. "I want you to go after her. Talk her round to coming back. You need to help her Richard." Richard folded the note up and handed it back to Ben. "She'll listen to you."
"Me?"
"You two have a connection, you know that." Richard nodded agreeingly. Before heading off, "Oh and Richard. Bring the old Sophie back." he sighed, sounding desperate.

Emma hesitated for a moment, then spoke up. "I'm not really sure a medieval torch mob is the right answer. Killing more people won't bring Mel back."
Juliet snorted. "This is coming from the woman who begged Christian to take John Locke's life," she muttered.
Emma turned in Juliet's direction and shot daggers with her eyes. "This is completely different," she responded haughtily.
"Is it?" Juliet challenged her. "Locke deserves to die, but not Sophie? You're all talk, Emma. You spent three days with Locke and didn't give him so much as a papercut."
"I was tied up and without a weapon," Emma growled. Juliet was sorely testing her patience. "Not to mention seven months pregnant!"
"Enough!" bellowed Jack. "My father is grieving. Save your catfighting for another time."
Emma sighed. "I'm sorry, Jack, Christian. I just need to clear my head." Her cheeks burning, she hurried out of the house and closed the front door gently behind her. She sat on the doorstep and breathed in the cool night air. After a few minutes, Jack followed and sat beside her.
"What was that all about?" he asked.
"I honestly don't know," she answered. "She pushes my buttons. I'm just so frustrated; I don't know who to trust. Everything seemed so much simpler before I came to this place."
Jack put his arm around her and kissed her gently on the lips. "You can trust me," he said.
Emma smiled at him. "I know that. I just can't get my head around any of this. I know Locke isn't really a killer. His remorse over Desmond is genuine, yet Christian says he killed all those people in the purge, and I watched him kill Desmond in cold blood! None of this makes a bit of sense, Jack! And what happens when we find Sophie? Don't you think Ben will want his revenge, too? It's never going to end! That's what Desmond saw in this island's future!"
"I know you need answers, but right now you have to take care of yourself and our baby."
"No, Jack. Right now we need to find a way to leave this island before we make a misstep and somebody calls for our deaths."

"Wake up Mel."
Mel woke slowly at the familar voice, feeling every fiber of pain in her body. She winced and the small movement set her on fire. She'd never experienced so much pain in her life.
"Jacob?" she asked, wondering where his voice had gone.
She moved to pull her hand up to her face and found that something was weighing it down. She shifted her body and felt the same heavy presence everywhere.
"What is going on?" she asked herself. Then it came back.
She remembered seeing Sophie in the jungle and going after her. She rememberd the fight with Sophie and how Mel had taunted her about Ben as usual. Then she remembered Sophie killing her.
"That bitch." Mel spat as she tried to move again.
Then a horrible realization came over her. If Sophie had killed her then that meant that she was most likely...buried.
Mel fought back the urge to scream. It would only waste what little oxygen she had left. Instead she tried to remain calm and examined her surroundings, as well as she could in the dark.
She guessed that she had been wrapped in some sort of sheet or blanket and that was the soft fabric she was feeling. But on top of that could only be one thing, dirt, and a lot of it.
"s**t." she said outloud. She knew that if she wanted any chance to survive she would have to get out of the hole. Chances were she would suffocate before she even made it halfway up.
Mel couldn't even stop to think about the fact that she had been dead and that she was now alive. If she got lost in that train of thought she'd be lost.
She felt around the sheet until she found the edge and poked her hand through. She felt dirt fall through the hole onto her stomach. She took on last deep, terrfied breath and started digging.
She dug frantically, clawing her way up. For every inch of dirt she moved, a ton more fell in it's place. As her lungs began to burn from holding her breath for so long, Mel knew she was going to die, again. But for some reason she didn't stop digging. She miraculously kept going until she saw a sliver of moonlight above.
With one final heave Mel pushed herself out of the hole. She coughed and had to spit dirt out of her mouth as she lay on the solid ground. She looked around and saw it was indeed dark, probably the middle of the night.
She didn't know where she found the strength but she pushed herself off the ground and staggered towards the courtyard. Right before she left the graveyard she saw that they had buried her right next to Ethan. She found that ironic, that she was buried next to the man she had killed.
Mel pulled herself up the steps of the small house and banged her fist on the door. She didn't have to wait long before he answered the door.
He was in shock as he took in her ragged, dirt covered appearance. "Mel?" he whispered.
"Yes Ben, don't you recognize me?" she said as she pushed her way into his house.
Ben turned to her, his face pale, "I don't understand. I saw your body. I helped bury you."
"Well, maybe you should have made sure I was dead first."
"Mel, you were dead. Three doctors examined you."
Mel shrugged, "I'm not anymore."
"Obviously."
"Listen, I don't have time for small talk. Where is she?"
"Who?" Ben asked as he walked around her.
"The bitch who killed me. Who else?"
Ben looked worried at the mention of Sophie, "She's gone."
"I gathered that. Where did she go?"
"Out into the jungle."
Mel nodded, "Fine." Then she spotted a handgun sitting on the kitched table. She walked to it and picked it up. "I'm going to borrow this." she said before walking to the door.
"Mel, don't you think you should see your husband before you run off into the jungle again?" Ben asked.
Mel turned around slowly and looked closely at Ben, "Don't tell me we finally got married."
Ben's eyes widened, "Us? No. You married Christian."
Mel shook her head, "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not married. And Christian who?"
"Christian Shepard." Ben said slowly.
"No." Mel shook her head, "I haven't been with him since I was in college and he kidnapped William, I would never marry him." Mel noticed Ben's ring finger.
"Who are you married to?" she asked.
"Sophie, of course."
"You married her?" Mel said in disbelief. "How could you do something like that?"
"I love her." Ben answered.
"You love me!" Mel yelled forcefully. "You've told me time and time again. Were you lying to me?"
Ben blinked, "Mel, no, I." he faltered not wanting to upset her furthur when she obviously wasn't in her right mind.
"Forget it Ben. I just clawed my way out of my own damn grave. I don't have time to listen to more of your headgames. I'm off to find Sophie, who is apparently your dear wife. I hope you won't miss her too badly." With that Mel stormed out of his house, more confused than ever.
Was she really married? and to Christian Shepard no less? And what had happened to make Ben marry Sophie?
Mel looked down at her own ring finger and was shocked to see a large diamond. She shoved the gun into the back of her jeans and pulled the ring off of her finger. She threw it down as she stomped into the jungle.

She smiled as she watch her baby sleep in her cot peacefully. "Oh Molly i missed you so much." Sophie sighed stroking her babys hair.
"Sophie?" Ben asked surprised. She turned to see him he was holding a tea towel in his hands drying his hands. She smiled and then went up to him and wrapped her arms around him. Ben dropped the towel on the floor and held her tightly before kissing her.
"I've missed you so much." she cried into his chest.
"And you, we both have." he replied. Pushing her face to look at him. He carressed her cheek. "When did you get back? and how did you get in the house i never heard you."
"Just now." She pulled away to look at Molly again.
"Don't wake her. I've only just settled her." he said standing behind Sophie.
"Has she been good?" she asked.
"A little. She's not herself at the moment."
"What? whats wrong with her? She not sick?"
"No....." Ben smiled. "She just misses her mother. - You are staying now aren't you?" he asked. Sophie didn't reply she kissed him and took his hand and lead him to bed.
..............................................................
"You never answered my question." he asked nuzzling into her neck.
"I can't Ben."
"Why?" he asked. "Your back i can see it in you eyes." he said. "My Sophie." he sighed.
"I'm scared, of hurting you." she whispered.
"You won't. You can control it now. Please come back." He started to chuckle. "Its not often i have to beg, i normally get my own way." hearing that Sophie smiled too. As they kissed. Sophie heard Molly starting to stir.
"Shes waking up." she said. "You should go and see to her." she said grabbing her top she was wearing before and slipping it on. Ben got out of bed slipping on his clothes and went off to get Molly.
"Look who's here Molly!" Ben voice said as he pushed open his bedroom door finding the room empty. "Oh Sophie..." he sighed.
"Sophie!"...... "Sophie."
Sophie stirred from her sleep seeing John up and ready to go, "We should keep moving. It's getting light and i'm sure they probally come looking for us." he said.
"Your right." she said standing up stretching grabbing her back pack and joining him.
