She didn't know how much time had passed. Two minutes? Ten? Staring and listening intently back toward where they'd come from, the only sound and movement was the rain. And no sign of Charlie or Jack, though she could see Kate nearby.
"I don't hear it anymore," she said in a hushed tone to Jinx. "I think maybe it's gone."

Her breath was ragged, she was scared. She had been scared before but never like this, something about this giant beast trying to kill them. she knew that had to be something to do with it. with a sigh, Jinx looked over to Gwen and nodded.
"It could be gone, or it could be waiting for us to leave our hiding spot to kill us." Jinx crouched down low, yes she was losing it. and she knew she would seem weak, she was scared everyone else was scared to. "Gwen i don't want to die..."

"We're not going to die," she replied, almost reflexively. Not even sure if she believed it. After all, Eric had been right there and then he wasn't. And she hadn't even had time to figure out what that meant.
She glanced over at Jinx, who was clearly in emotional turmoil. And Gwen knew she needed to get past that fear if they were to make it back to the beach. She kneeled down beside her. "Look, we survived a plane crash, against all odds. And we survived our first night alone on this island. And that thing seems to have gone in another direction, so...that's three obstacles behind us. We need to stick together and we'll get through this, yeah?" She held her gaze.

She wasn't sure Gwen's words were true, but they felt Genuine. She took a deep breath and sighed, she would get through this. She knew she had to, so with determintation she nodded. After all Gwen was right they had survived all strange Incounters and things...well this was one more. "Your right, How do you do it? How do you stay so Brave?"
She hoped there was a trick to that, she wanted to learn it so she wouldn't be so Chicken. she needed to know if she was able to do it. things happen for a reason, and she knew if there was just an ounce of Hope she would snag onto it and fight to stay alive. "When i get home, i sware to god i am never flying again..."

"Well, if my livelihood didn't depend on it, I'd probably agree with you," she said, getting to her feet again to look around. The rain seemed to have let up, and an eerie calm was settling around them.
"And I'm not brave, believe me" she asserted. "I'm just too preoccupied with other people's welfare to think about my own right now. Benefit of training, I suppose." She had to compartmentalize, for everyone else's sake. No time to think about her own terror or uncertainty or the horror of seeing that blood across the window.

She smiled a bit, she kind of felt better. Not by much, but better. "if it makes you feel better, if we get to the camp alive, you can break down all you like. I won't tell a soul." jinx looked around outside the brush to see if anyone was around. "we should try and get out of here..."

KATE After leaving her hiding spot, she thought she heard movement behind her so she quickly turned around, seeing nothing. Then she thought she heard her name over the sound of the rain and turned back, only to find someone standing right in front of her. She reflexively screamed and pushed at the same time, sending the person to the ground and losing her balance causing her to fall on top of the person. "Charlie!" She looked up and saw Jinx and Gwen a little ways ahead. It must have been one of them who had called her name. She looked around more but didn't see anybody else. "Where's Jack?" she yelled over the rain. Just then, the rain came to a dead stop and the sun peaked through the clouds. ***THE RAIN STOPS JUST AS QUICKLY AS IT HAD STARTED, THE CLOUDS MOVING AWAY QUICKLY AND THE SUN SHINING AGAIN***

JACK
He looked around, not really moving from his spot. He had no intrest in whether the monster was gone or not, all he concentrated on was finding the others... well one of them. He looked up at the sky the rain had completely stopped. He brushed his hand threw his short black hair. He sighed in relief. Everything was clear now, he could see threw the trees, but still no sign of anyone else.

"if it makes you feel better, if we get to the camp alive, you can break down all you like. I won't tell a soul."
"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind," she said, giving Jinx a weak smile. Then they were distracted by the sound and sight of Charlie slamming into Kate, and both of them falling to the muddy jungle floor. Gwen stepped out from the shelter of the tree roots as the rain stopped, still scanning the treeline as she walked closer to Kate.

"I....I dont know, he came back to help me...my foot was stuck in some root back there. He saved me then we started to run....he was right next to me but then he was just...gone." Charlie began to hate himself more and more thinking that it was his falt Jack may have died. All he could think about was making sure he was alright.

KATE
"We have to go back for him," she said in a determined voice as she got up.
She started heading back in the direction they had come from, holding out her hand toward Jinx and Gwen to signify that she knew what she was doing and that they didn't have to come along if they didn't want to.

JACK He was just starting to dry himself off, he wiped his face. He was trying to find his barings, he hadn't really realized that he had just ran through a random jungle into the middle of nowhere. He tried to figure out where he should go from here; whether he'd go looking for his other companians, or try ti figure how to get back. Just as he was mid thought, he heard crackling coming from a few yards away. (OOC: Just forshadowing a bit while you guys do your stuff before they meet up. )

She sighed and smiled a bit, But Kate wanted to go back into the Jungle? She wanted to go back twoards that thing? she had to be nuts, she wasn't going back in there. she wasn't going anywhere closer to that things that tried to kill them, or the thing that might have killed this jack guy.
"O you go ahead, i'll stay here."

KATE
She walked in a hurry back toward where they'd come from, stepping over foliage and a fallen tree and stopped when something in a muddy puddle reflected the sun light, catching her eye. She bent down and pulled the thing out of the mud, studying it. It was an aviator wings pin. In the reflection of the water, she saw a dark blur in the bare tree above her. Fearing the worst, she slowly stood up and looked upward.
Kate had been preoccupied with looking for Jack that she did not know anybody had followed her until she saw Gwen, who was looking up at the tree pale and in shock. "Gwen?" Kate said, trying to get her attention and putting a hand on her arm, but Gwen did not move or blink. She just continued to stare.

JACK
He looked threw the trees to see Kate and Gwen staring at the body. He knew right off the bat what or who it was. He emerged from the pilot, but neither of them seemed to notice. "Its the pilot," he said as he walked towards them trying to avoid random roots.

KATE
She was so relieved to see him that she gave a small smile as she stepped near him. She'd almost gone so far as to hug him, but she held herself in check and her expression turned serious again. "Did you see it?" she asked Jack.

"No," he replied almost wishinghe had seen it so they could know what it was, "It was right behind... I dove into some bushes, and then it was gone," he looked directly at her then chnged his focus to behind her, he could see Gwen in the corner of his eye, "Gwen?" he asked as he looked up at the body.

KATE
"She's not talking," Kate said looking over at Gwen for a moment. "I think she might be in shock." Kate looked back to Jack awaiting the instructions on what he recommended they do now.

She heard the Comotion and she knew she had to go and find out what was going on, when she got close she saw the body, she felt sick. She felt very sick. "o god." Jinx looked at everyone and shook her head. "we have to get out of here... Gwen look at me, we have to go." she placed a hand on Gwen's shoulder, she knew this was hard.

JACK
He stared at Gwen with eyes of pitty, then broke out of the concentration. "Alright, come on, we should go back." He looked at Gwen again and his voice sank into a sound of sorrow, "Come on."
