Sawyer shifted, crossing his arms over his chest. What the hell was he meant to say to that? He didn't think he'd heard anything, but that in itself was hardly evidence, since he'd never admit to hearing things... That would put him on the same level as the other idiots, running round like headless chickens, thinking the beast was after them...
Well, that's what he thought he'd... um, think. But now everyone was seeing, or hearing, or hell, just feeling wierd. So either there genuinely was something, or he was stuck on a floating asylumn. Sawyer wasn't sure which scared him more. He raised one eyebrow, waiting for a few moments incase he did hear anything, then asking her "Hear what?"

"Nothing I just" she stopped. "Ok really this is gonna start to bug me" she said. She turned around again. She could see a figure in the shadows about 12 meters away. She cocked her head to one side. "Please tell me there isn't a person over there" she said, pointing to the figure. The voice was becoming louder. It was crying, saying 'Mummy.....are you my mummy?' in a slow, high pitched voice. She shivered slightly, turning back to Sawyer
"Is it normal to go insane?" she asked him, pulling both legs up to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. She knew it wasn't real, but it felt like it was. Like when you watch a scary movie, you know it's not realy yet it seemed to be. Jaz knew there wasn't a little kid in a gas mask trying to kill her but it was so real. "This is what happens when you watch to much of Doctor Who" she muttered to herself, shivering.

Sawyer glanced into the trees. Straining to see in the dark he could see... Trees. And then more trees. But no children. He looked back to her, his head cocked to the side, his tone deadpan. "There isn't a person over there..."
Her question about going insane would be better left hanging... Because what could he say? Sure, at any other time it would be wierd, but crazy people were probably about the most normal thing on this island, because going mad was an understandable human reaction given the circumstances... She was clearly still scared, though. And just because he didn't see it, didn't mean she didn't have a right to be...
"Son of a bitch..." he sighed to himself, shifting over next to her. "Hey, J, look at me..." He waited until she turned and was facing him, and not the trees "There isn't anything in the trees. Promise. You're just shook up, s'all... it's dark and we're in a wierd place. But there's nothing to be scared of."

It took several seconds, maybe even minute till Jaz even realised that awyer had spoken. It took several more seconds to tear her eyes away from the trees. He had shifted closer to her. She looked up at him with worried eyes. "No. I'm just paranoid. I'll be fine" she said. She couldn't help but turn again.
The figures had vanished, making her un easy. But she thought of what Sawyer said. He was right, what were the chances scary kids in gas masks for some wars yonks ago were gonna try attack her? The voices began to fade, like a radio runnig out of batteries. She turned back to Sawyer, a weak smile on her lips. "Thanks" she said softly. She hated beign so scared. She knew there had to be something that triggered it, but she was yet to fnd out what it was.

"Don't mention it." Sawyer smiled back, though it didn't really match his interior expression. Despite himself, despite his many attempts at keeping distant, wanting neither to screw anyone up as he'd done himself nor to grow attached to anyone he might later need to play, he was worried about her....
She was scared of the dark, that was plain to see, once you took away the layers of expectation. That was the first secret of reading people - once you accepted that they could do anything, you didn't blind yourself by forcing them to fit your expectations.

Jaz grinned, wrapping her thin arms around her legs. She couldn't help but look back. It seemed to real! Sigh sighed "Do you think we'd be able to go back to the forest try get some stuff, I think my trunk was there" she said. She didn't know why she was asking Sawyer, she could just go but she asked anyway.
There was an odd pause, as Jaz's eyes wandered to the sea, watching it roll up onto the beach. She couldn't belive she was stuck on an island. This coud be the end....maybe. She watched as a few people wandered across the beach heading for shelter for the night. She would if she had any, but she didn't so she wouldn't sleep. Anyway, sleeping wasn't good at a time like this, not for her anyway
((oh Sophie wants someone to find her, do you mind if Jaz and Sawyer go?))

((yeah.. that'd be good. We should go find Sophie!))
"Now?" He looked at her sidelong.. Okay, maybe he'd been too quick to decide that she was sane. All that crap about voices in the trees, tree-munching beasties... her obvious fear of the dark.. and she wanted to go tramping through the jungle. At night. Marvellous. "You sure? Ah mean, maybe y'should wait 'til it gets light..."

She shrugged "Sure I don't care I just feel like a sitting duck" she said, the corner of her mouth twitching. She just felt like she was some sitting duck waiting to be shot. But she felt like that alot so that wasn't knew. "No I'm not crazy I'm insane" she corrected him. She knew what he was thinking by the look on his face. Everyone gave her that look, so she decided she was insane but not crazy!
((yay!))

"Well, now we've got that sorted.." Sawyer grinned and got to his feet... quickly, before he could change his mind. He believed her when she said she was insane... and this probably wasn't the best idea he'd ever had. But leaving her to her own devices would be a worse one... "Let's go."
