Jack got up and walked over to Arianne and Drew. After saying good morning, he asked if they were ready and recommended to take enough water. Then he walked over to Charlie, who still seemed to be asleep.
"Hey Charlie.. wake up. We're leaving"

Shannon rolled over to Boone. "Why can't you just stop bugging me..?" Her brother looked at her with sarcasm and told her that the only way they would have a chance on being rescued soon, was to work together as a team. "But you never were really usefull.." he added.
Shannon didn't answer, but if looks could kill Boone would be dead right now. She was boiling inside.. her brother just didn't understand. She grabbed a top and a pair of shorts and walked over to a group of people, who seemed to be going into the jungle.
"I'm going with you.." she told a dark man, Sayid. Boone had followed her, shocked by her sudden decision to join the scout party. "Don't be ridiculous Shannon.. You know perfectly well yourself that you're not the type to.."
"What for type?" Shannon spatted. She turned her back on Boone and asked Sayid: "When are we leaving?"

Sawyer walked over to the group of people who seemed ready to leave. He was curious of what their plan was, but when he saw Jack, Drew and Sayid he already figured what they were up to..
"Well, well.." he said in a mocking tone when as he walked passed them "if this aren't the boyscouts.. going on a little trip into the jungle are you?"

Charlie slowly rolled over onto his side moaning. He was saying something about five more minutes brother. When he sat up his eyes grew wide. "I had forgotten", he mumbled. After a few moments Charlie stood up and said that he was ready to go as soon as he grabbed some water. He gather some water and then joined the group.
Sayid turned to Sawyer and gave him a terrible look. After that he called out to Arinna to ask if she was ready. Once Shannon walked over and asked to join the group Sayid asked, "Are you sure? It might be dangerous?"
"Yep, I will be right there, Jack", Drew said. She then put her books into a safe place for keeping slightly off of the beach under a tree and covered them with leave so as no-one else would find them. After that she joined the group to go out into the jungle. "It's Miss girl scout to you. Thank you" Drew replied to Sawyer.

"I'm ready." Arianna called back to Sayid and Jack as she zipped up her backpack. Quickly joining the group, she rolled her eyes as Sawyer made another of his wise remarks, both amused and annoyed by his constant comments. "Why don't you join us?" Arianna asked pointedly at him. "Or do you have more pressing matters to take care of?" With that she looked at Shannon. "Sayid's right. Are you sure you want to do this?" she said quietly.

Misha came back from her little walk by the beach and came to the group of people, ready to go into the jungle. "I would like to come with you", she quickly said. She knew it wouldn't be an easy walk through the forest, but she had to do something else than just sitting on the beach doing nothing.

Shannon looked at Sayid and replied: "You shouldn't listen to everything my brother says.. I can handle this.." She glanced at Arianna. "Besides, I can't see why all of you can go and I'm not." She made sure the sunglasses on her head were steady and that there were no pebbles in her white sneakers and said: "Okay, I'lm ready.."

"No, leave it." Jack said quietly to Arianna as she asked Sawyer to join. "He would only be a handfull.." He didn't know how long his patience would last if Sawyer was going with them. He nodded at Sayid, Shannon and Misha. "Lets go then.." he said to Drew and he entered the green jungle.

Sawyer grinned at Sayid and mumbled: "Hi again, Abdul.." Then he turned his back on him to give Arianna a sceptic look. "Hell, yeah.. this trip could even be fun!" He didn't feel like going with the group, he prefered to be on his own but when he heard Jack's comment he turned around and his eyes flamed of anger. "Since when are you in charge Jacko? It's my right to tell whether I'm going or not, and I'm going." He followed the group into the jungle. He walked a few paces behind Drew but said with a loud voice so she could hear: "But don't you dare to sing girl scout songs Sheena.."

Sayid rolled his eyes, threw his backpack onto his shoulder, and followed Jack into the jungle. He was learnign very quickly that Sawyer was as annoying as can be and he planned to ignore him as best he could for the time being. "Why let the redneck bother you", he asked himself. He gave a sigh and walked a bit faster so he would be walking beside of Jack.
Drew gave a smirk that just proved that she was planning on making sure Sawyer regreted giving her the idea of singing. She then turned her back to Sawyer and walked right behind Jack. After a few moments of silence Drew began to sing Driveshaft's "You all everybody". "Come on everyone", Drew said with a smirk still spreading across her face.
Charlie grunted at Sawyer's choice to join the group. "Great he though. More fighting...that is what this will turn into" he thought to himself. He then took his place near the rear of the group. Once Drew began to sing he smiled. He missed his music, his band, his guitar so much. However he just couldn't believe that Drew was singing his song. Charlie's face lite up and he began to sing along, hoping that somebody would reconize his voice and therfore him as Charlie Pace the rock star from Driveshaft.

Arianna walked in silence behind Jack and Sayid, an amused smile spread across her lips as Charlie and Drew began to sing. This was certainly the most unusual hiking trip she had ever been on. When she hiked with her father, it was mostly to train-there would be no joy, no arguments. Yet, she welcomed the singing. It was a comforting change from the foreboding silence of the woods.

Sawyer walked at the back of the group. He didn't pay any attention to the singing, not that he knew the song anyway and raised his eyebrows at Charlie's enthusiasm. Sometimes he made a comment about someone but most of the time he was quite. The jungle gave him a strange feeling inside.. They were not wanted here.

Shannon tried to keep up with the others but the rough terrain with high grasses and bushes made it difficult. She wondered where they were going. Since she'd only joined to give her brother a hard time she barely knew where this was all about.

Jack grinned when Drew and Charlie started singing eventhough he had the feeling it would be better for them to be quite. Because he didn't want to spoil their pleasure in teasing Sawyer so he waited until they'd finished the song and then stated: "Perhaps you better stop singing.. you never know what you might wake.." He looked at Sayid, since he didn't wanted it to look like he was givning orders, for his opinion.

Charlie laughed and continued to sing along with Drew. He had decided that right now he did not even care if she knew who he was. He just enjoyed hearing the sweet sound of music again....especialy his music.
"Absolutely", Sayid said after Jack had said that perhaps it would be best for them to be quite. Sayid then started walking forward once more. He looked around. Somehow he just knew that something wasn't right.
Charlie was quite upset with Jack and Sayid stopping them from singing. "What could be out in this jungle", Charlie thought. He gave an angry sigh and fell even further back to stand beside Arianna.
Drew chastened herself inside. She knew better than to make such loud noises out in the jungle...out in a jungle where they did not know what was around. How could a soldier forget something that importent? She decided that from then until the end of the so called hike she would be all bussiness. It was then that she noticed that she was not the only one in the group who had suddenly became all about being serious...
Sayid had stopped dead in his tracks and was looking around.

Arianna gave Charlie a sympathetic smile. "Don't worry. You will have time to sing-" she broke off in mid-sentence as a sense of uneasiness filled her. Something was amiss. It felt as if they were being hunted. Glancing around she saw that both Drew and Sayid were also uneasy. Her body suddenly tensed as she tried to prepare herself for whatever lurking in their midst.

Jack motioned the others to stop. He looked at Sayid and whispered: "You heard it too..?" Footsteps.. What was he thinking? He didn't know what was out here, but by allowing so many to join, he put their lives at stake too. You couldn't tell them not to come.. A voice inside his head said. Leaves rustled and Jack glanced at the trees. Why did he mess things up everytime?

Shannon looked from Sayid to Jack and back to Sayid. She didn't expect anything dangerous to happen. Her eyes shifted from the trees to the bushes but she couldn't spot anything. She walked slower and bumped into Sawyer who walked behind her, causing him to curse so she walked over to Charlie and Arianna. "What's out there..?" she whispered.

Sawyer stopped. He was glad that he'd taken the gun he'd found. Still he hoped he wouldn't have to use it. The others wouldn't be happy for sure with him having a gun, but more important he didn't feel good about whatever was watching them and Sawyer was sure it weren't humans..

Charlie smiled as Arianna spoke of music. Music had always been his safe haven durring rough times and it probabley always would be. However when Arianna stopped in mid sentence Charlie's smile dropped. He looked around to see what could be the cause of Arianna's sudden stop in her speach. It was then that he too noticed that Sayid, Drew, and Jack were tense and carring on a conversation about dangerous things in the jungle. Charlie sure did not like the sound of that.
Sayid leaned his head slightly to the side as if listening for something, "It does indeed sound like an animal, Jack".
"Is it a bird of some kind or something", Charlie interrupted.
"Absolutely not. It is much to big to be a bird", Drew answered before Sayid could. As the sound grew closer Drew fingered with something that was in the inside of her jacket (pocket on the inside of her jacket) and backed up to where she was once again side by side with Sawyer. Sayid backed up just far enough that he would be right in front of Shannon and Charlie stood beside Arianna waiting for something horrible to appear from the jungle. They all just knew that there was something strange about this island...and not strange in a good way either.

There was a loud groan and the footsteps became louder. The thing, whatever it was, was obviously moving towards them.

Jack turned around and shouted: "Run! Come on run!" And ran over to Drew, while shaking his head.. he knew what she was up to. "Lets go.."

Shannon shrieked when she heard another groan "What is that?!" She was terrified, petrified and couldn't move of fear.

Sawyer's heart made a leap when he heard the sudden groan. His eyes narrowed as he stayed where he was, waiting for the animal to show itself.

Misha looked around nervously and scared as she heard the moaning and footsteps coming up to them. She looked at Shannon, who seemed unable to do anything, so Misha grabbed her on the hand and pulled her with her. "We need to run." she said. "Come on! Run!"

_________________
Come to the Dark Side...we have Jim Moriarty

Sayid repeated Jack's "run". When he saw Misha having to force Shannon to move he made sure that he stayed right behind of them in case Shannon were to decided once again to stop running. Whether he admitted it or not he was beggining to get very worried as to what it was that was coming after them...not only for his sake...but for the sake all of the other surviors. He knew that he could not watch over all of them at once so he decided to watch over Misha and Shannon for the time being. He was going to make sure that they made it back to camp safely and if at all in his power all of the rest of the group.
Charlie's eyes got huge, he grabbed Arianna's hand, and he began to run with the intention of getting as far away from that spot in the jungle as humanly as possable.
Drew paid no heed to Jack's instructions. What she knew that she assumed Jack did not was that in her jacket pocket she had kept one of her nine millimeter guns. If need be she planned on using...for her sake and for the rest of the group's sake. She knew that she knew what she was doing. She risked a quick glance at Sawyer though. "what was he thinking?", the thought ran through her mind. However she did not have much time to ponder over the question before Jack ran over to her. Still yet she had no plans of moving unless just forced to.

Arianna jerked forward as Charlie grabbed her hand and started to run. She quickly regained her balance and ran beside him, turning to glance behind her. How I wish I had a gun. she thought in annoyance as the two ran. Or at least remembered to bring my knife. she added, remembering the blade that she had at the bottom of her suitcase. "Drew! Sawyer!" she called back as she paused briefly when she saw the two defiantly standing at the rear of the group facing whatever was charging at them. "Forget it! Just run!" she screamed back at them.
