Jack walked into the church, he hadn't visited here in a while but now he needed a moment of peace and quiet. So much had happened lately, Juliet had come back to the camp with Jack, and no one trusted her. They all stayed away from her as if she was diseased, Jack had tried and tried to make everyone get along, but it just wasn't working. When really, could he blame them? Everything they had been through. But if they had only seen what Jack had seen.
Jack sat on one of the seats made by Eko, using mainly plane parts, but it was something to sit on at least. He closed his eyes and put his head in his hands. He had no idea what to do. This shouldn't be his problem. He should be off this island by now. If John f***ing Locke hadn't gotten in the way then Jack and Juliet would be at home, safe!
Then he looked up, smelling something in the air. It smelt like something was ... burning? Looking in the corner of the church he saw a fire quickly spreading. It was soon far to high for Jack to be able to put out on his own, so he ran outside in an attempt to get help.
"HELP! The church is on fire!" Jack yelled, running back in.

Laura was reading out by the beach, near camp. She stole a book from Sawyer's stash and wanted to read something to get her mind occupied from the thought of her being stranded.
She heard a faint voice over the roar of the waves. She looked up and tried to listen, it sounded like Jack.
"HELP! The church's on fire!" She heard him yell. She Instantly threw down the book and sho up from her spot and ran towards the church.

Jack started throwing the sand onto the fire, but it didn't seem to help much. It was spreading far too quickly, he needed more help. But Jack, being the person he was, didn't give up and just stood inside the church throwing sand onto the fire. The whole place was burning around him, and if he wasn't careful he would soon get stuck in here. But he was determined to put this fire out and save the church. Eko and Charlie had worked well on this, and he couldn't just let it burn down because he was lazy, he put all his effort in trying to pick up as much sand as he could. [[Anyone can join in ]]

Jane smelled smoke. She came out from inside her tent and saw flames shooting up down the beach in the direction of the church. She swore in her mind and yelled "Fire!!" to the other beach residents. Jane took off down the beach at a sprint.
When she got to the church, she could have sworn she saw someone inside there. Having something of a death wish, Jane rushed in thinking she was going to rescue someone but instead saw Jack trying to be a hero with sand.
"Jack, you're not going to kill the fire that way!" Jane yelled over the roar of the flames. She looked around. There was no way to put this out short of a fire hose. She just needed to talk Jack out of here and this madness.

Jack turned around, hearing a voice, and to his surprise he saw Jane. He had expected Eko to be first on the scene, where had he got to? But that was the least of his problems right now, it seemed the fire had trapped Jane and Jack in. A wooden post had fell in front of the door and caught fire immediately.
"We've got to stop it!" Jack yelled, not thinking about his own safety. He only worried about the church at this moment in time, people had used it so often, it had helped them through rough times, and now it was going down in flames.
Jack looked at Jane for a moment or two, they were both trapped here now, and unless someone else came to find them it looked like the end of these two.

Jin was lounging with Sun, as he heard the crackle of flames, and felt the heat, and saw the bright light. Jin raised up from outside of his tent which was near the church. He looked back and forth and noticed the crowd of people around the fire on the church. Jins eyes widened at the spread of the wild fire. He looked behind him, and called out "Fire!" Jin was taught that word from Sun. She had given him a list of basic English words incase of any danger that would happen, such as this one.
Jin quickly rushed towards the fire stepping on the hot sand. He wanted to help put out the fire and ask no questions of how anything happened until after the fire was burnt out. He saw the bursting flames, as he thought about the hard work Mr. Eko put into the job of the church. n wondered again how a random fire would show up. They can't blame him again about what happened with the raft. Jin was far from the fire this time, and Jin always was willing to help, and he burnt his hands trying to put out the fire on the raft. Some people believe in Jin, and others don't such as Michael at the time.
Jin reached over trying to help out...he kept silent, but panicked, watching out for the fire not to hurt him or anyone. Jin knew he was good at picking out things, smelling and feeling, so he knew the fire was arising. He usually finds the most little things that could be dangerous and points them out in english.

Jane startled when the beam fell in front of the doorway. She looked and saw it had immediately caught fire. So much for getting Jack out of here, she thought. Now they both had to figure a way out and fast. The dried thatching that had been used for the roof was quickly catching the flames. Soon, it would be dropping on them.
Thinking fast, Jane went to the alter Eko had built. She lifted one end of the long plank and wondered if the walls were really all that strong. If she and Jack rammed them would they give way? Jane thought they might, but she had no time to even bring it up for discussion before the thatching on the roof began caving in.
"Jack!" Jane yelled and dropped the alter. Instead of ramming walls, Jane pushed Jack forcefully into the confessional.

"Gah!" Jack was caught of guard and tumbled into the confessional. He understood Jane was trying to help, but what the hell was she doing? Jack looked at her in a confused way, knowing that she would have an explanation to why she had shoved him in here.
Jane wasn't dumb, far from it, so Jack knew there would be a plan behind this. Maybe .... nope, nothing came to mind. This was hopeless, while they were in this small box the whole place was catching fire around them.

Jane noticed the confused look on Jack's face. She wasn't trying to be stupid, just save the man's head from catching fire. She had seen the thatching giving way right over his head. She had also felt the heat of it it her leg as she followed Jack inside.
"I think I just saved you from going prematurely bald," Jane grinned as she gritted her teeth. She wasn't about to show she was in pain. Besides, on this island her burn would be healed within a couple of days anyway, but Jack being the ever-caring doctor would have wanted to see the burn. They didn't have time for that. They needed to get out of here.
Jane pushed open the makeshift door of the confessional that had closed behind her when Jack hit the back wall. The thatching from the roof was on fire and a large part of it was on the ground right outside the small box they were in. And very soon, Jane knew, the confessional would be on fire as well.
"I'm fresh out of bright ideas," Jane said pointing to the fire in front of them. She coughed from the smoke filling their little room. "You're turn."

Kate smelt the smoke before she saw the fire, heard the crackle of flames, and her first thought was Jack. She heard him mention he was heading over to the church, and panic gripped her as she ran down the beach to the church.
'Jack!' She yelled as she saw the wooden structure about to collapse.

Jack covered his mouth as soon as possible, mumbling a "Thank you" To Jane. He could see something was wrong with her, but just as he was about to ask another part of the church nearly fell on them. This did not look good.
Jack heard someone shouting outside ... Kate! Maybe she would think of something ... but it was going to have to be fast. This only thing Jack could think of doing was running his way through. The chances of catching on fire were high, but once they were outside they could just stop, drop and roll.
"Follow me!" Jack told her, not thinking this through. He threw himself at the large piece of wood blocking there way. Feeling a slight pain in his arm, but he didn't stop, he just kept running for the door. His eyes were closed, but at least he was clearing a path for Jane.
Just has he got to the door, he jumped, throwing all his body at the door, and smashing any wood in his way. Landing on the sand he frantically began rolling around, feeling all parts of his body on fire.
[[Ok, so maybe not the most realistic ... but fun, right?]]

[[Definitely fun! ;D]]
Jane watched Jack run out like a crazy man. She thought she was just as crazy when she followed him. Jane's feet hit the burning thatch and after two times it felt numb. She saw Jack outside rolling on the sand when the smoke cleared just a bit in front of her. Jane made for the door and got outside just as more of the roof came down. She rolled on the ground too just to be sure, although the only thing hurting was her leg. She no longer felt the bottom of her feet.
Jane stopped rolling after a second and looked back at the church. It was pretty much all gone now as it was engulfed in flame. Jane felt badly for Eko, but they could build another. The biggest question in her mind was how the fire got started in the first place.
Looking from the church to Jack, Jane saw he looked alive. Here on the island it seemed it was all that was necessary. Jane lay her head back and coughed again before closing her eyes. They would both heal. Eventually.

Kate froze as the roof of the church began to collapse, unable to think of some sort of clever rescue plan.
As she watched, a figure tumbled out of the nearly destroyed structure, rolling across the sand, soon followed by another. It took a few moments before she managed to shake the shock from her mind, the back of her throat dry from the smoke, and she ran to Jack, registering that the person with him was Jane.
'Oh my God, are you two alright?' She called as she came closer.

Jack looked back at the door, it seemed like forever until Jane came out [even though she was only a few seconds behind him]. There was a sigh of relief, and a huge smile came across his face. Jane was safe and so was he, the only thing that didn't make it was the church.
What the hell started that fire? Eko had mentioned setting up some candles, but surely he wouldn't just leaving the burning away while he wasn't around. Maybe he forgot, Jack had no idea, but there was a lot of questions Jack didn't have the answer to on this island.
"Jane" Jack said, crawling her way "Are you ok?" He looked up to Kate, giving a quick smile in her direction "I'm fine, just a few minor burns"

"I'll live," Jane said through her dry throat. She opened her eyes and looked to the church. "I hope Eko wasn't sleeping in there somewhere. *cough* There was that small prayer room he made..."
Jane coughed some more as the smoke was trying to get out of her lungs. She sat up and winced a little at the burn on her leg. Funny how she couldn't feel the bottoms of her feet. It was probably the experience those people have when they walk on hot coals. Or eating too much ice cream and your tongue goes numb.
"You OK?" Jane asked Jack when she looked back at him. "What were you thinking standing around in there trying to put it out from inside anyway? Do you have a death wish or something?" Jane smirked slightly then launched into coughing again. So much for a joke.

Jack too began coughing, not being able to stop for a moment or two. Almost like a smoker. "I was trying to save Eko's church" Jack looked over at it, the fire was dying down and the church was a complete wreck "But I guess I failed"
Jack was just happy to be alive at this moment in time, running through that fire made him think he wasn't going to get out alive. "Why did you come in after me? ... Were we going to have some kind of suicide pact?" Jack tried to laugh but just ended up coughing again.
He ripped his trousers, that were burnt anyway, and started looking at his burns on his legs. It was soar right now, but he knew there was something in the medical kit that was for burn treatment.

Jane grinned in spite of herself.
"A suicide pact? Yeah, that was it," she chuckled. "I might have a secret death wish, but really I was trying to save you."
Jane looked up into the sky as she lay on her back. She could see Kate looked torn between her friends and didn't know who to help.
"Take care of Jack. I'm sure he's fried a little crispier than I am," Jane said to Kate.

Kate frowned as Jane told her to look after Jack. She was glad they had both survived, but she knew Jack could take care of himself.
'Are you sure? Your leg looks pretty bad...' She knelt next to Jane and ripped the bottom of her trouser-leg off, where it had been practically burnt through. As Jane dissolved into fits of coughing again, she cast a worried eye over her.
'We need to get both of you over to the tents, out of the sun,' she stated.

"I'm fine," Jane insisted. Well, she would be fine. She just needed some time to heal. The island had seen fit to heal her of worse!
"Jack ran through the fire and cleared the way," Jane said and made herself stand in her stubbornness. "He might need help getting to a tent. Take care of him. I can walk."
She said it and meant it, but Jane had no clue how badly the bottoms of her feet had gotten scorched. She didn't feel them - until the sand started going into her open wound. She grimaced but refused to let anyone take care of her. Jane was done being the one in trouble or needing help all the time.
"Meet you at the tent," she said through gritted teeth and started limping there.

Jack and Kate hadn't gotten along that well since his return, mainly because of Juliet and what Jack had seen on the cameras. You could now see this. Kate didn't really want to help Jack, which was fine, as he was the doctor here so really he should be able to cope better than Jane. But it just showed how distant the two of them now were.
Lifting himself up he felt a sharp pain in one of his feet. Lifting it up and looking at the bottom of his foot he noticed a sharp piece of wood stuck in. His foot was completely black and burnt all over, quickly he pulled out the wood, gritting his teeth and closing his eyes as he did so.
Without saying anything to Kate, who was far to interested in helping Jane, he started heading back to his tent. He knew exactly where the medical kit was, so he could soon sort himself and Jane out.
