The island had changed, there was no doubt about that. The new dawn brought more survivors with the tides, and what had washed up onto the shores felt like danger... and trouble. Still who was she to lay such a claim down. Her hesitation cost her the high price of her life, and now she was stuck on the island with all of them. There was one thing though that at least had come of the new cast members of the insane daily life that was whatever this place was. Someone saw her, talked to her and that wasn't just something she could brush off like the rest of it. The dreams were one thing, the sights and sounds she would walk into another story. This was different though. This was reality edging in on the non-reality she was getting used to.
So when she pulled herself away from the conversations with the living she found herself in the caves. Empty for the moment but her body felt something pressing into her sides. Pushing her around, walking through her with more force than she needed to feel. Her hand got pushed into her wound, and once more she had blood on her hands.
Then it stopped. The motions, the pressure all of it. Whatever it was she knew it wasn't a happy fuzzy place. Then from the left she heard a branch snap, and she instinctively reached for her gun. It just wasn't there. Neither was she. There was nothing she could do right now except stand there and wait it out.
The noises and muffled voices that once were coming from the left now sounded from the right, and she wasn't actually sure what was coming or from what direction. Then the brush moved from the side entrace of the caves and she saw a familiar face for the moment. Sawyer moved into the caves with two women. Shaking her head she really didn't want to be around for whatever he had planned. She turned to leave the caves out the other side, but the foliage parted and a second group came into the damp air. A frail girl with wide eyes followed by a large group of stranded people, people and the ones she had seen before.
She couldn't go now, because at least Frank might have seen her... she could help at least for a moment. Warn them if something happened? She didn't really know what, but with as many people as there were converging in the caves the noise of all of them was likely to draw more in.
"This place is going to get crowded..."
[ooc: This post is open for anyone and everyone. The three or four threads I was in seemed like they were at a point that they could converge and I figured maybe this was a good spot for people to meet up. I put them in the caves since it was logical that medical supplies were in here and that the larger group of people talking would have a pretty good amount of noise and the sound would carry to lead people in. So have at it!! Meet some new people yachties!!]
