Kate stared at the machine, She tried to figure out who sent the message and how it got there, Jack towered over her looking and wondering too. it read...
Kate,
You are my angel, I dream
about you at night, I know what you did but I really don't care, you
mean more to me than life. I want to hold you and kiss you, but it
cannot be. I anyone asks you did not receive this message.
Goodbye
my angel,
Your secretive admirer x.
Jack had seen the
message before her so she couldn't keep it a secret for long. She
looked up at Jack and around at the hut and then the timer, the four
minutes began. The beep started and the computer screen blanked from
the message. The message had been on that computer since Kate had
been awoken by Jack.
Kate entered in the code and the beeping
stopped. Kate looked at Jack for advice on the message, their
wandering eyes locked. Kate felt a shiver run through her spine.
Suddenly a message appeared on the computers screen again
How dare you look at Jack like that your MY angel.
Kate glanced at Jack again and bit her lip. What was going on?
Kate didn't know if she should leave the computer or stay. Jack had left a little while back and since nothing had happened. Kate got up to leave as it wasn't even her shift. A message appeared again
Excuse me, Where are you going? I wanted to talk to you. You are my angel x.
Kate sat back down wondering if she could write back, she looked around, she was alone in the hatch, it wouldn't do any harm to ask who it was. Her fingers began to press the keyboard, the letters appeared...
Hi, Who is this?
A message appeared again almost automatically...
Your admirer
Kate began to write another message...
Ok your my admirer, but who are you? your name?
A message appeared again...
Sorry we don't give out information like that, my angel.
Kate wrote another message
We?
A message appeared...
I must go, my angel but I will be back.
Kate frowned, whoever this was he was messing with
her head. An alarm began to arise, she looked at the timer there were
still 50 minutes left. Se began to panic as a message flashed on the
computer screen
FAILURE FAILURE FAILURE
DANGER.
Kate
looked around terrified, Had she just caused this? A figure emerged
from the corner of her eye.
To her relief, it was Locke
"Kate, What happened?" He asked typing in the numbers on the computer screen, nothing appeared on the screen, and he too turned from his normal calmness "Wait here Kate, I'm going to find Sayid!" He exclaimed, and with that Locke left. Kate was left alone, terrified and shaking.
The beeping suddenly stopped, and Kate almost waited for an explosion, instead a message appeared on the computer screen...
Ha ha. I fooled you, my angel. Don't even think about Jack or else... something much worse than a scare will happen. Goodbye, my angel your forever in my heart.
Kate
stared at the screen for what seemed like hours, Locke broke her
thoughts as he entered "Kate what happened? It's gone now."
He said. Kate shrugged "It just...stopped." She
pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear "I guess it was a...
problem with the system." Sayid spoke from beside Locke "Well
I can check it out."
Kate shook her head "No don't!"
She cried, "Well I mean I'm sure it's okay now." Kate
finally escaped the questions, and left the hatch. Sawyer caught her
wrists as she walked past "Hey freckles I guess you were lookin'
for me ey?" He asked winking. Kate smiled "Oh yes I soooo
was, your just so...," She grabbed a piece of hair and twirled
it around her finger "so HOT!". They both laughed and Kate
felt a little stress and worry escape. Kate walked along the trail
towards the hatch it was her shift now. She was dreading it.
A message appeared on the screen
My angel, I saw you with Sawyer, Are you cheating on me?
Kate's mouth flung open, Her fingers typed in a message
Excuse me?
A message appeared again
Listen, My angel, If you even think about Sawyer I will kill him.
Kate took a deep breath. Was somebody stalking her and worse playing with her mind?
Kate told herself that nothing really would happen to Sawyer nor Jack, but still she did her best to stay out of their way. Kate could tell Sawyer was getting annoyed that Kate was supposedly ignoring him. Sawyer hadn't actually said it but Kate had overheard a conversation between Jack and Sawyer...
Sawyer: Hey Jackass, have you been talking to Kate?
Jack: No It seems like she's been ignoring me.
Sawyer: Yeah me too. Have any idea why she's acting like a ?
Jack: Nope, but I'm gonna find out!
That was two days ago, and since then both Sawyer and Jack had been trying to talk to her. Kate began to take people's shifts, against her will, but the messages had been warning her. She wanted to tell Jack, She wanted for him to comfort her, but the messages said they would kill him!
She sat by the computer, waiting for a message...
Hello my angel, how are we today?
Kate typed in a message...
Well not great.
A message appeared
Oh, well why not?
Kate didn't try to hold in her resentment towards her admirer
Because of you!
A message appeared
If you want Jack to live I suggest you be nice
Kate fought back her tears and typed in nothing
Well answer me, my angel.
Luckily the four minutes began, and Kate typed in the numbers and escaped. The sky was dark by then and Kate figured she needed the sleep.
She fell asleep easily, But she awoke that night to a voice ushering her out of he tent " Come with me." Kate sleepily followed the voice without thinking. "That's it, My angel..."
Kate
followed the voice towards the jungle. She didn't hesitate, she
didn't even think.
"My angel...Your here with me!"
"I
am?" Kate asked in a voice that seemed unknown to Kate
herself.
"You are." The voice said again
"Where
are you?" Kate asked feeling around in the darkness.
"Right
here." The voice said again.
"Where?" Kate asked
again, her voice becoming shaky and scared.
"My angel."
A hand grabbed her.
She pulled back "I am not your
angel!"
"Oh but you are!" The voice said again
"I
am not!" Kate screamed.
Then silence, nobody spoke Kate could
only hear her breathing.
"Kate?" A familiar
voice called, it was Jacks.
Kate smiled to herself. "Yeah
I'm here." She cried.
"What happened? you were
screaming."
"I was? A nightmare I guess." She
turned from Jack
"Kate don't you dare run, tell me what's
wrong, you've been avoiding me." Jack grabbed her wrist, making
her face him.
She shook her head tears forming in her eyes "I
can't." she whispered. A tear rolled down her cheek.
Jack
let go of her wrist "Why Kate, tell me."
She took his
two hands in hers, he looked down at her.
"Please Jack, I
just can't." She said.
Jack nodded, he respected her wishes.
Although, if he could do anything it would be to look after
Kate...
Kate
ran to the hatch.
It was Locke's shift "Kate, What's
wrong?"
Kate shook her head "Nothing...I'm okay can I
take your shift?"
Locke looked confused "Why would you
want to?"
"I need some time alone." Kate smiled at
her own excuse.
Locke nodded, believing her, he left Kate in the
hatch alone.
Locke had seen Kate's tear streaked face, he had
thought it was something to do with Jack.
Perhaps it
was...
Kate stared at the message on the screen...
Why
are you crying? Why do you care about him?
He has done nothing for
you... Nothing for this island...Don't worry MY angel...
you soon won't have to worry about him...
Kate sobbed harder, What was it supposed to mean?
