[Damon] Rude Awakening

[fikgirl]

Something bumped him awake. Startled, Damon jerked, his arm reflexively tightening protectively around Claire. He looked up and groaned in a combination of frustration and annoyance.

"Charlie? The hell?" With a great deal of reluctance, Damon slid his arm away from Claire, already disappointed by the not feeling her body pressed up against his. Groggily, he sat up and tried to figure out why Charlie was hovering over the picnic shelter glaring at Damon like he'd just killed Charlie's mother. "What are you still doing here?"

"So that's how it is, then?" Charlie demanded. "Bet you're the reason that Claire didn't come back to the beach. You just couldn't wait to get her away and get all cozied up, could you? Think you can change a few diapers and get into her knickers?"

Still at that twilight edge of waking and trying to make sense of the world, coupled with the lingering memory of the sadly interrupted dream of kissing Claire - or actually being kissed by Claire - Damon's mind struggled to make sense of Charlie's words and the

[Daniel] Rallying

Daniel rounded the corner to the unexpected site of several new arrivals. He wasn't really surprised, it was just a matter of time before the Beach Camp residents headed this way for real food, indoor plumbing and supplies. He was surprised that it had taken this long and then

Given the nature of the eyewitnesses and the other weirdness of the island, Daniel was going to go with the former.

Although Chloe looked far more vibrant and alive than she had last time he saw her. She was quite pleasing to the eye and it was as though something about her begged the eyes to linger. And from the way Chloe turned at his approach, it was clear that she knew - or at least

[Chloe] Escaping

Chloe saw her chance to escape when Charlie abruptly volunteered to play guard.

"I'd love to help out," Chloe said, and saw the alarmed reaction Daniel couldn't quite hide, "but I've been out of the loop, so I'm just going to stay out of the way."

She was rewarded again by the minute but unmistakeable signs of Daniel's relief. "Thank you, Chloe," Daniel said. Chloe nodded. She knew that the last thing he'd want was "help" from someone who didn't know the players or the backstory.

Chloe pointed back over her shoulder. "So the kitchen is...this way?" Her directions confirmed, Chloe smiled at everyone. "Good luck! If you do find yourself in need of my help, I'll be glad to do whatever I can. In the meantime...there's real, processed food calling my name."
