Chapter 14 - All hope is lost

                                    

                                              
(Flashback) 
I looked at Sam led there on the floor. I had to defend myself right? I couldn't just let him beat me to a pulp. I'm fed up of being pushed around. I'm fed up of being... Me... This. So I made my decision... To leave and start a new life. 
                          
As I packed my bags I caught hold of a picture of us in a frame. When I was in university... The first time I had actually got drunk in front of him. I laughed at myself thinking of the Sam I used to know. 'He's right... I am a selfish bitch' I nodded trying not to tear up. 'But if that's what it takes to survive then... I'm not taking any chances' I put the frame in my bag and zipped it up.
                          
I came down the stairs to see him still lying there unconscious. I stopped while opening the door, looking around the house. 'Goodbye Sam' I nodded. As I shut the door I breathed in slowly and let it out. It was time for me to start over... Time to feel free. Sam's brother had got me a plane ticket out of here. There was no way I was giving that up. 

                          
As I waved for a taxi. I looked back and sighed. 'This would've been a dream if you had just controlled your drinking' I bit my lip. As the taxi pulled over I was ready. No more running back. This was the end of all my problems. 
                          
(Present day) 
Me, Jinn and Michael were tied up by the hands. We were sat in a group I was pretty stunned to see them as they were supposed to be getting us a ticket out of here. 'So this is where you've been?' I shrugged and laughed. 
                          
'It's not like that April' Michael shook his head keeping it down. 
                          
'Then what... You were the only thing giving us hope for rescue to come' I bit my lip. 'And all this time you were still on this fucking island' I said loudly. Jinn looked at me and then looked at Michael. 'No wonder people are giving up because nobody does anything to give it to them' I kept going on. 'You lied to us!' I cursed at Michael. 
                          
'They took my son' he piped up. He looked at me right in the eye. 'They ripped my son right out of my arms...' He nodded. 'We're supposed to be dead' he explained. 'And... Who knows maybe Walt's dead too' he looked back down. 
                          
I didn't even know what to say to him. 'What? No' I said struggling to think of something. 'More and more people are going missing on this damn island' I cursed. 
                          
'Apparently there's other people here... Who take children when they're vulnerable one by one' he shrugged. 'They took my son april.... The others took my fucking son' he started to cry. 'And the worst part was he called for my help... And I couldn't do anything about it to get him back' he cried as Jinn now put his head down. 'Now what kind of father lets a stranger rip his own son from him!' 
                          
'Shut it!' The woman shouted while she was getting water. 'Otherwise I'll make you shut the fuck up' she shrugged. She was a tough one. She was talking to a huge sized man quietly. 
                          
'I wanna find my son' Michael said. 
                          
'What did you just say?' She shouted over walking towards us. Uh oh. 
                          
'I said I wanna go find my son... Walt' he stood up. 
                          
'Fuck your son... He's gone!' She nodded pretty sure of it. 'The others have him... He's probably dead' she shrugged not caring that that was his son. 
                          
'Anna...' The big bloke warned her. As he put his hand on her shoulder. 'You wanna go look for your son Michael?' He asked he was pretty nice considering he looked like someone you wouldn't wanna mess with. 
                          
Michael nodded and spoke 'he's my son man... He's all I've got' a tear came from his cheek. 
                          
'Why don't you carry on Anna... I'll go with Michael to find his son' he smiled. 
                          
'But... They have him Eko' she turned around. 'You'll get lost and I'm not turning back for you' she warned. She was very stubborn. 
                          
'We'll catch up I know how to track Anna' he nodded and grabbed Michael's rope cutting it.
