Story inspired by the song "Jolene" by Dolly Parton (the song has been covered by the White Stripes, Mindy Smith and several other artists).
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im begging of you please dont take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please dont take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, jolene
He talks about you in his sleep
Theres nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you dont know what he means to me, jolene
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im begging of you please dont take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please dont take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
Hes the only one for me, jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, jolene
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Im begging of you please dont take my man
Jolene, jolene, jolene, jolene
Please dont take him even though you can
Jolene, jolene
The character in this story, Jolene, is an OC. She'll look exactly like the jolene in the song is said to look (auburn hair,ivory skin,emerald green eyes,etc).I personally ship Sawyer/Kate on the show, but since Kate has a tendency to switch between Sawyer and Jack on the show, I thought I'd create a story where Sawyer has another love interest besides Kate. And for the die-hard Kate fans, i'm warning you guys, in this story Kate isnt exactly depicted as a sweet,misunderstood woman. The story starts from Season 1 of the tv show.
Chapter 1: Break The Ice
Jolene sat on the sand, watching the waves hit the rocks. Her left leg had a cloth wrapped around, in an attempt to stop the bleeding from the almost foot-long cut. She was on the far-end of the beach, sitting in silence. That was how she prefered it, she didnt need to see the other survivors of the plane crash all wondering what had happend, the plane crashed, what more is there to explain?
"Shouldn't you be with the group?" She heard someone say. She turned her head to see a tall, long-haired man standing behind her. Jolene stood up and brushed the sand off herself. He was slightly taller then her.
"Not that it's any of your business but I don't want to be with the group" Jolene said emotionlessly. He was gorgeous, from what she could see in the moonlight. He smirked at her, suprised that she didn't want to be with the group. Most people tend to want to be surrounded by others in traumatic events.
"Besides, shouldn't you be with them as well?" She asked. The smirk disappeared from his face.
"I'm not interested in hearing people crying, trying to understand what had happend" He said calmly. He was a loner, she could tell, because she was one as well.
She nodded and said "It's annoying, instead of trying to stay calm and not freak out, they do exactly the opposite".
Jolene started walking towards the camp, she knew that he was following her. He walked next to her, quiet, his hands in his pockets.
When they got back to the camp, they saw that the survivors were all standing in circle, looking at them as they came towards them.
"Where were you two?" One of the survivors asked. Jolene knew him, his name was Jack, he's the one that was playing hero in this whole sitaution. Jolene rolled her eyes, she didn't have much time or patience for heros. Sawyer looked at her, amused by how annoyed she was getting so quickly.
"I was sitting on the far-end of the beach, trying to get away from the noise, I ran into the cowboy on the way back" Jolene said nodding her head at Sawyer, who looked extremely entertained now.
"Names?" Jack said looking at the both of them.
"Jolene" She said calmly. Jack nodded at her.
"And you?" Jack asked.
"Sawyer" He said darkly. He disliked everyone watching him. Jack nodded and looked suprised when Sawyer turned and left the group. Jolene just stood there, watching him leave.
The next morning, a majority of the survivors were starting to build camp, and salvage some of their belongings from the wreckage. Jolene had pitched a tent on the "outskirts" of the camp. She had gotten herself some blankets, some books, and was lucky to find both of her suitcases undamaged. She kneeled down in her tent and opened up one of her suitcases, inside it was a metal briefcase. When Jolene opened the briefcase, a little smile spread across her face, inside was a sniper rifle and a silver handgun that was engraved with the words "To dodging bullets". Along with the guns was ammo, and lots of it.
Jolene puts the guns away and locked the briefcase, hiding it in the sand under her bed of blankets. She changed out of her bloody clothes into knee-high hiking boots, denim shorts and a black tanktop which exposed 3 of her 7 tattoos.
She walked out of her tent, in search of Sawyer.
So what do you guys think of the story so far?If any of you are wondering why Jolene has guns, dont worry that will be explained later on, but she is not like Ana Lucia, who was a cop on the show, If anything she's quite the opposite. Comments,review,constructive critcism,etc are greatly apperciated!
