A/N: I haven't written anything for a while and I am sorry for that. I have been having some issues at home and stuff. Anyways, this is a story of just what happens (well, what I think happens) after the mini series finally in October. Enjoy.
The rain poured down from the clouds, soaking everything within seconds. It chilled her to the bone, and made it hard to see. But that wasn't what she was focusing on. The scene unfolding in front of her was grabbing her attention.
"Get on your knees!" Danny yelled, pushing Sawyer to the ground.
"Please!" Kate screamed. "I will do anything you want…"
"I want you to watch!" Danny spat back.
She couldn't watch…no. Not Sawyer. They were going to kill him…
"Close your eyes Freckles." Sawyer said.
"Stand up." Kate said to Sawyer, now angry at him. Why didn't he fight? How could he just give up? It wasn't like him. He never stopped fighting. That's what scared her most about these people. Even Sawyer was afraid of them.
"Close your eyes!" Sawyer said again, and then turned away from her.
"Don't you give up!" Kate sobbed as Danny put the gun to Sawyers head. "No! No! No!"
Kate was getting hysterical now. She couldn't let them do this.
"This is for Colleen, you son of a bitch!" Danny said.
"No…" Kate sobbed. Sawyer couldn't die. Not the man she loved. Not again. It wasn't even their fault Colleen had died, and they were blaming Sawyer. It wasn't fair! Tears streamed down Kate's face, but no one could see them through the rain. She was so stupid. She had let herself feel this way for someone, and now they were going to die. It always happened that way.
"Danny, are you there? Pick it up. Pick it up Danny. Pick it up Danny!" Came a voice from the walkie-talkie.
"I'm here. What!" Danny yelled into it.
"You anywhere near the cages?"
"Yeah…you could say that." Danny said.
It had bought them some time. Now all Kate needed to do was think of some way to save Sawyer…
"Give your walkie-talkie to Kate."
"Now why the hell would I do that?
"Because…if you don't…the doctor is going to let Ben die."
That wasn't what Kate had been expecting. Why would Jack let Ben die? It wasn't like him to do that…but he was probably worried about her…still had feelings for her. Of course she knew he had liked her. She wasn't that stupid. But Sawyer…she just loved him more…
"What are you talking about?" Danny yelled. "What's that beeping?"
"Just hand her the damn walkie Danny! Do it, just do it now!"
Danny hesitated for a moment, but then he moved towards Kate, never pointing the gun away from Sawyer. Kate reached out for it.
"Let go of her!" Danny said to the man behind Kate.
"Jack." Kate said into the walkie-talkie. "Jack!"
Sawyer got up, and then she heard Jack's voice. "Kate…you have about an hour's head start before they come after you." He said.
"Wait, where are you, where are you?" Kate asked.
There was no answer for a bit, but then "You remember what I told you? The day of the crash? The story I told you when you were stitching me up…Do you remember it?" He yelled.
"Yes!" Kate said. "Yes, I remember it…"
"When you get safe, you radio me, and tell me that story…"
"Jack, please…" She begged. She couldn't get off this island, and get back there in time…and not without him and Sawyer with her.
"If I don't get a call from you in the next hour, I'll know something went wrong, and then he dies!" He yelled.
"I can't leave without you…" Kate said.
"Yes you can. Go!"
"I can't…"
"Go!" He yelled.
"I can't!"
"Kate, damn it run!" Jack yelled.
"I…" Kate began, but then a shot rang out across the jungle. It echoed against the trees, and then there was silence.
"No…" Kate said.
"Kate?" Jack's voice came from the walkie-talkie.
"Sawyer!" Kate yelled at him. "Sawyer, get up! Get up!"
He lay motionless on the ground.
"Kate, what happened?" Jack asked again.
Kate didn't respond to him. She crumbled to her knees, sobbing hysterically. Sawyer was dead, and not even Jack could save him now.
Space
It had been almost twenty minutes sense Sawyer had been shot. The rain had stopped, but she didn't notice. Danny and the other man had left, leaving her cage wide open. Kate knelt by Sawyer's motionless body, looking him over. The shot had killed him instantly. Danny had hit him right in the heart.
Jack had stopped radioing her a while ago, leaving her alone with her thoughts.
'This would not have happened if I hadn't let him get so close to me…' Kate thought to herself.
So far she had only examined the wound, but now as she looked at his face, she saw that his eyes were open. That scared her more than anything she had ever been through before. She put her had over his eyes, as she had seen Jack do with Libby, and closed them.
Sawyer almost looked…peaceful.
That was a funny thought. Sawyer being peaceful was as likely as…well; anything could happen on this island…or these islands.
She didn't laugh. Didn't smile. As unlikely as it was…it sort of suited him. She knew that under his tough exterior, he was very sensitive…deep, deep down inside of him.
"Sawyer…" She said, stroking his hair.
Memories came flooding back into her mind. Of everything that she and Sawyer had done together. The boar hunt, the waterfall, and the time he had been sick when he got back from the raft…
It was almost too much.
"I…Uh…I forgive you for telling everyone about me." She said, forcing a sad smile. "When I tried to take your place on the raft…sorry about that by the way…"
Kate looked at the radio that she had put to the side. Should she tell Jack? Well, he had a right to know. She slowly picked it up.
"Jack?" She said softly into it.
"Where are you Kate?" Jack asked.
Kate thought for a minute. Jack must not know that they were on another island. He didn't know…what should she do? If she told him, she didn't know what he would do.
"I…I'm almost there…" Kate lied. She hated lying to Jack, but she didn't want Ben to die. No matter how much he had hurt all of them. No matter what he did.
"I just…need to tell you something." Kate said.
"What's wrong Kate?"
"Sawyer…is dead." Kate said. "He…they…they killed him Jack…"
The other line was silent for a moment.
"Are you back at camp yet?"
"What?" Kate said to him.
"Are you back at camp?"
Kate's jaw dropped. She had just told him that Sawyer had died, and all he didn't care.
"Is that all you have to say?" Kate said, getting angry. "Jack, Sawyer is dead, and all you can say is 'Are you back yet?' Why are you acting like this? It…"
"I saw you with him." Jack said. "You and Sawyer.
Kate sat there. How could he have seen them? She sat there for a long time, thinking. It had almost been an hour now.
"Jack…" She said. "I…how?" She was really screwed now. What was she going to do? Jack was mad at her, and Sawyer…he was gone.
"What was the story I told you?"
Kate looked at the ground. Should she lie, or tell him the truth? Well, she wasn't leaving without him that was for sure.
And so she began to tell him the story.
"Your first patient was a sixteen year old girl…"
A/N: I don't know if this should be a one-shot or not. Please review and tell me what you think of it! It's up to all of you to say if I should go on!
