About me: My name is Destinee and I'm the only person to be on both Flight 815 and Flight 828. Perhaps I should start at the beginning.
Destinee Jo Anderson was born April 3, 1995. Her name has 8 letters, 2 letters and 8 letters. A nod to Flight 828.
At the age of 4 Destinee was involved in a near death accident. (The idea is that she drowned but was revived and brought back to life. But I'm willing to change this if a more interesting near death idea comes about) After her near death experience she began to have dreams that seemed to predict something that was to come. She also was able to get feelings about people by touching them (but this doesn't work on everyone and doesn't happen all the time.) These feelings usually show her something about their past. Some examples of these two callings are:
- One night Destinee dreamt that a kid climbed a tree and fell out and got hurt. The next day her dream happened. A boy climbed a tree, fell and hurt his arm.
- On the LOST island Destinee sympathetically touched Rose's leg to let her know things would be ok. In doing this she suddenly got a glimpse of Rose in the past during a time when she was sick.
Fast forward to July of 2004. One night Destinee had a dream that her father who lived in Austraila died in a terrible car accident. The next day she and her mother got the call that he in fact had died in a terrible car accident. Destinee and her mother flew to Austraila for the funeral. A few weeks later Destinee and her mother got on Flight 815 to go back home to California only the plane never made it. Destinee's mother died in the plane crash but she survived along with several others including Kate, Sawyer, Jack, Hurley and many more.
In January of 2005 Destinee and a few others managed to finally get off the island they crashed on. They would later rescue Sawyer who was left behind.
Fast forward again to April 2013. Destinee now 18 goes to Jamaica with some friends for a Senior trip. On April 7th while waiting at the airport to go home, Destinee decides to take the later flight, Flight 828 to get home. During the flight they experience some scary turbulence. They return to find out that they have been missing for 5 and a half years and have all been presumed dead. However it had only been a few hours to all the passengers.
Now some of the passengers are experiencing voices and callings. Destinee is one of them. She fears that someone is after her since she is the only one who was on both flights.
Kate had been angry with Ben for all the things he had done but taking her grand babe had been the final straw in her eyes, She never in a million years thought she would ever go back to the island after rescuing Sawyer and she knew *he* didnât want to go back but this.. This needed to be done, She knew with the help of Destineeâs room mate Bay and her family they would easily find a way to return.
Kate nodded as she looked at her âWe have everything, Regina said if anything back fires we can go to her as wellâ She knew that some people did not like Regina (namely Bay and her family) due to her being the evil queen but she redeemed herself and Kate liked the lady. Sawyer touched Destinee gently as he said âDonât worry Squirt weâll get Faith back, Ben wonât get away with what heâs done, Not this timeâ He said. Bay nodded as she spoke âThe cloaking spell should work again donât worry Desâ She said.
They landed on the island in no time at all, however it looked different, it was like a civilization now, the Otherâs barracks had still been there, Some people there Kate recognised, some others she didnât, there was one woman who looked a great deal like Zelena, did they manage to end back up in Storybrookeâs, those thoughts had been interrupted when a little girl near crashed in to her, She had no idea who she was but there was something oddly familiarity to her.
Kate had gone through a great deal since the birth of her grand baby, Her and someone she had thought of as a brother had a falling out, though she wasnât sure why, and it was due to that she had a huge lack of trust other then the people who had been in her family. As of lately she was having strange dreams, ones of the island but not entirely, they werenât callings , or at least she didnât think they were, She hadnât had callings in a long time, She had no way of knowing just how odd her life would become due to the things Destinee and her daughter would see.
She had always been close to Destinee, from that time on the island to now, She knew she would always be like a mother to her, after all her real mother had died on the plane crash, this had been why when Destinee called her to come over she would stop at nothing to be there for her, She raced over to her home as fast as her vehicle allowed her to.
At Destineeâs words Kate had a shudder going up and down her spine, not so much because she had a dream like that (because she hadnât) or because it was in fact eerie, but because she had heard that poem, many years prior. She nodded as she spoke âYou.. You donât remember?â She asked her looking at her âYou said that on the island one night in our tentâ she offered, It seemed odd to her at the time but now it all made sense, somehow 815 and 828 were in fact connected.
Kate smiled as she looked at Destinee âas difficult as my kidâs are, I will admit that you were a lot of help, Iâm more then certain you will be a great Mom to this little oneâ she said, She was doing her best to be certain that Destinee had not felt any pain. âYou were there for me, of course I would be here for youâ she said smiling more. She couldnât get over how beautiful her new Grand baby had been once she had arrived in to the world.
Jacob smiled down at Faith, okay to be fair she wasnât his biological daughter but he loved her like she had been, He held her smiling, this had been a part of his family, some day soon he would propose to Destinee for now though he was enjoying the time, holding Faith still smiling âSheâs beautiful Des, She looks like youâ He offered.
Bay had been quite tired from her work day and taking on a few classes, She wanted to better herself at least for the time being, She had changed a great deal, a lot of that had to do with her best friend Destinee, she was so tired that she did not notice anyone walking in to the home or grabbing Faith, she herself out cold.
Bay rolled over hearing what Destinee had said , she shook her head âwhat?? No!!?? I came in late last night and went straight to bed, I didnât hear anything!!â She didnât want to go all Pirate again but she would in order to get Faith back âDonât worry Des, we will do whatever it takes to get her back!â She said.
Lilly Rush had never thought she wanted kids, Hell her child hood wasnât all that great, and she was afraid she would end up like her mom, someone who would neglect her child. She also assumed that due to the job she just couldnât give some kid the attention they needed, let alone find love, but Scotty Valens had changed all that, They were friendâs at first but when he helped her save her sister Chris from a very abusive relationship That had all changed, She fell in love with the man and due the love she had they created a life.
At first She was terrified of telling him about the baby , She thought he wouldnât want it let alone her, She had a messy life who would want to love her like that, However she was shocked when he told her he loved her and the baby, He had even proposed to her, for awhile they were keeping things a secret but she knew that couldnât something like this a secret for long.
Â
On this day they were having their first sonogram, She was all be it nervous having heard stories about how painful it could be as well as the fact that this was their first baby. She was sitting in the waiting room Scotty sitting next to her holding her hand âI know youâre worried, but Iâm here, Iâll always be hereâ he said kissing her hand. She nodded as she looked at him âI know, I appreciate that Scotty, I just.. . the books..â She knew she wasnât making any sense but she wasnât sure how to explain how she felt, She was going to say something else when she saw a blast from her past, She suddenly got rather quiet which she knew would cause her Baby Daddy some worry, He had known that when she got quiet there was something wrong. He looked at her as he spoke âLil?â He asked her, she bit her lip âIâm fine.. itâs just.. I know her, which.. is um Last I heard she diedâ She said all be it confused.
She pointed to the girl and then walked towards her âDestinee?â She asked her, It was odd to her, the last time she saw he was when they were both in school, Now here she was a 28 year old Pregnant Momma to be (all be it 4 weeks Pregnant) and her old friend still looked as though she had been high school, âItâs me Lillyâ She said looking at her again wondering why she had been at this doctors office as well.
Alex nodded as she looked at her taking another bite of her burger âI know right?? I mean I have gained weight but thatâs mostly the little Bean inside of me not because of the food I eatâ she said shrugging as she chuckled a bit. She looked at her pointedly as she said âHave you tried the Cheese cake factory? They have good food as well, Penny used to work thereâ She said with a shrug. She nodded and said âYes!! I would love that.â
She nodded as she too shrugged âIt wouldnât surprise me if they were working together you know, doing whatever they can to make the survivors of flight 815âs and 828âs liveâs miserableâ she said sighing. Alex had felt horrible when she thought Destinee had died, she blamed herself, though she knew that it wasnât her fault the plane went down, she still couldnât forgive herself because she never told Destinee that she was sorry for what had happened, now it was if life and fate had given her a second chance. She shook her head and smiled âIt is a little weird but I do like the way things are, I feel closer to you now you knowâ she offered. She laughed and added âsorry⌠that was just really funny, yet in a way it wasnât, if I were you I would be terrified of planesâ she stated.
Alex shrugged as she looked at her âI donât know, I mean I think heâs perfect you know, but My mom⌠She doesnât like it that heâs Indian and my Dad doesnât like it that heâs sweet, caring , sensitive and all of that, I guess he sees him as a sissy, but I promise You will love himâ She said beaming thinking about her husband. She reached her hand and Squeezed Destineeâs hand gently âIâm sorry that happened but Iâm glad you found people who can take care of youâ she said.
âIâm so glad we have a second chanceâ She said happily, at least now they could be close again, she laughed and said âHopefully our children wonât be as rebellious as we.. or rather I wasâ She said simply. She then beamed saying âI would love to meet them, if only to say âthank youââ she informed her.
Betty had loved Destinee for several reasons, though she had imagined the main reason had been because she reminded her a great deal of herself, okay not so much âuglyâ as she herself had been but she was quite smart and a good writer, she would be a promising editor in the near future, that had been why she ended up being great friends with her and would do anything for her.
She waved her hand and chuckled a bit âoh please , Mode has dealt with far worse then Eureka, mostly due to itâs former editor Wilhelmina Slaterâ she offered half teasingly. She nodded and said âDonât worry, I trust you will be back but you also need some time with your baby, your job will be here when you get back, I will not be giving it to anyone else, unlike the aforementioned Wilhelmina Slater who had done that in the pastâ she offered with a nod.
Betty nodded as she listened to Destinee âYes, I do remember my time with Emily as an infant, it makes things easier when your employer is flexible, Thankfully for me My employer was my husband and lucky for you , You have meâ she said teasing, though a part of her worried that Destinee might enjoy working from home to much and deciding not to come back.
Betty had been in her office looking over a few articles that would be featured in Mode for that issue when she saw Destinee coming in with little Faithy girl, She beamed as she waved her in to her office âOoh Look at her sheâs preciousâ She whispered.
Baylee knew no matter what would come in the future she would always be there for Destinee, she would be there for her as much as Destinee had been there when she needed her to be. She couldnât wait to be an Aunt, She had already bought several little outfits for little Faith, some having a lot to do with her Pirating life. She shuddered a bit, seeing her friend in pain was not easy for Bay. âIâm sure she will be here before you know itâ she offered, though she doubted that would be the case, she wanted to reassure her as best as she could.
In all actuality Bay didnât really want to be in the room when her best friend began to push because the noises of birth had scared her to her very core. Saanvi smiled as she looked at her âsheâs perfect, I just need to weigh her , clean her up, Then you can bond with herâ she informed her. Jacob nodded as he looked over at the very bloodied infant âShe is beautifulâ he said.
She had finally come in to the room and looked down at Faith, she was a bit scared still , looking up at Destinee as she cradled Faith in her arms â..IââŚ.Iâm I holding her right?â She asked, hopefully she would get the hang of things especially since this baby would live with her.
Baylee had tried her best to clean the house, make sure that it was sterile enough for a new baby, she was also happy that they were home âHe is a smart boy and a good boyâ she nodded , she then said âI hope the house looks good, I cleaned it a great deal, I donât want Faith to get sick her first week homeâ she said with a shrug, she then added âI also got her these cute outfitsâ She said laying some infant onesies near Faithâs car seat
Kate had remembered the excitement of having her children, not just the actual birth but her family and friends as well, knowing they would soon get to love a little piece of her own self, of course with Aiden she was scared because she was alone, She knew Destinee had felt the same, she watched her breathe and held her hand âif sheâs anything like her Aunt and Uncle she wonât beâ she said rather teasingly.
She had understood how different it was when you held your own child, she also remembered just needing to be alone with them for awhile, she had figured that Destinee would need to love her baby by herself for a little while. She nodded as she looked at her âShe looks a lot like youâ she offered sweetly with emphasis repeating what Destinee said.
Kate had often teased Destinee about being to young to be a grand parent even before Faith had been born, but the truth was she knew other wise, She also knew she would be a much better Grand mother then her own mother had been with her own kids. She sat a bit anxiously as Saanvi took care of Faith, she trusted Vi yes but she couldnât help the way she felt, She breathed a sigh of relief when she had handed Faith back to her momma and they began to bond.
Jacob nodded as he looked down at his daughter, okay truthfully she was not his biologically but he still loved her as though she had been âThat might be the case but Daddy needs a minute or two firstâ he said teasingly, it wouldnât take him long however due the fact that he knew that yes Kate needed to bond with her grand baby as well.
Alex had watched as Destinee finished up with her work and then came back over to her with a plate of food. She nodded as she spoke âIâve heard about that, I guess my friend Penny comes here a lotâ she offered with a shrug, She took a bite she was actually quite hungry, âmmâ She began as she took another bite âYou werenât kidding , this is deliciousâ she offered, She then smiled as she said âI wouldnât say weird but I do get these cravings for Mint Ice cream in the middle of the night when most stores and ice cream shops are closedâ She said laughing a bit.
She shrugged as she looked back at Destinee âDo you think maybe the government was working with uh âthe Others?â She pondered âI mean the same time you were being held captive, we are told youâre dead, itâs a bit to fishy to meâ she continued , she then added âI agree though I am glad to see you are not dead and we found one another once againâ
She nodded as she stole a fry from Destineeâs plate âI think so, I havenât talked to my mom and Dad in awhile, Letâs just say they arenât to happy about the baby or my choice of Baby Daddyâ she said with a sigh and then added âbut yes our moms were sistersâ She frowned, she didnât know what happened to her Aunt until then âso.. my Aunt.. Your Mom.. She really did die in the plane crash? Iâm so sorry to hear thatâ she frowned
âI⌠I appreciate you saying thatâ She said squeezing her hadnât back âfor the longest time I hated myself for it, I know you almost died and I blamed myself, but. Youâre right no need to dwell on the pastâ She said.
Betty nodded as she looked at Destinee âSure Mode used to be primarily a Fashion Magazine but I like to believe now that Daniel and I are sole editors itâs more then that, so to answer your question, we are extremely open minded, so I am eager to hear all of your ideasâ She stated looking at her with a grin huge on her face.
She touched her lightly as she said âHonestly those are normal emotions even if you arenât in the type of situation you are inâ She said meaning the Eureka group being involved . She shook her head when Destinee mentioned she understood if Betty let her go, this had caused Betty to shake her head no âOh please, we have been through a lot worse then what you are dealing withâ she informed her, âYou are here to stay and if you need time off for maternity leave and all of that, or you just need to work from home, let me know, we can work something outâ She said kindly.
That time would come faster then she had expected but she did as promised and would help her in any way she could. âOh itâs okay I can just get some coffee or something, Iâm not all that hungryâ she admitted with a shrug âOf course, Just tell me what you need from meâ She said kindly
