-Lost-
"Jack! Help!"
"Kate! Hold onto my hand, don't you let go!"
"I can't… I can't see… I'm choking. Jack? JACK!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let go!" she said forcefully, as the black bag was lifted from her head.
Her brown curls were wet and limp from the water, the ocean water that was her pathetic escape from the Others.
"Be fair, Kate." The big man on her right said, chuckling.
His grip was hard on her arm and she bit her lip to numb the pain. He pointed to his left eyebrow where she had punched him in an attempt to escape… It was heavily bruised and bloody, the skin swollen so much that it covered half his eye.
"I didn't know you were an aggressive kitten as well as an ignorant bitch." He said tugging at her arm roughly so that he was leading her away from the beach where she had ran earlier to escape from them.
The other man to her left was rather skinny and tall. His arms were lanky and they also had a tight grasp on her arm. He seemed disturbed for some reason and he nodded blankly in agreement to the other man's comment.
Looking around for some means of escape in the dense jungle area, Kate tried to distract them with questions about her friends. She tried hard to keep her voice from shaking and thus deceiving her plan.
Breathing loudly she tried slipping her hands through the hand-cuffs that bounded her hands tightly together.
"Where are my friends." She said her voice surprisingly steady and confident.
"You'll be reunited with them soon enough, kitten." The bigger man said leading Kate deeper in the jungle; the sky was barely visible from the leaves of the trees. Some of the sky that was not covered was bright and sunny, giving Kate a sense of what time of day it was. Losing track of time was one of those things she was used to not caring about on the island now. But if her plan was to work she'd have to make sure it was the right time of night.
Feigning tears that slipped down her freckled cheeks seemed to make the bigger man believe that she was weakening and sure enough his grip became more relaxed and lazy. The skinny man coughed and side-glanced at Kate, his awkward attitude made her tense and alert.
"Why did you take me?" she asked squeakily, her face scrunching up, the fat tears streaking down her cheeks like a river that's dam was broken. The droplets dripped lightly on her chest.
"Because kitten, you…. FUCK, GET A HOLD OF HER! ARGGH!" he yelled frantically trying to corner Kate so that she wouldn't run into the forest. He was limping and hopping up and down pathetically because she had stamped on it with all of her possessed strength so that he'd let go of her arm.
Side-stepping smartly she ran as fast as her legs could carry her. Whipping past branches and brambles, the leaves on either side of her like an un-real green blur. Not until she was sure she had lost the two of them did she glance back over her shoulder. Breathing hard, and trying to catch her breath, Kate leaned against a tree trunk thickly covered in gray moss.
"Shit!" she said softly, staring at her hand-cuffed hands. How could she have forgotten to take the key before running?
Hearing a trickling stream not far off she made her way towards the relieving sound, taking care not to trip on the jagged rocks and ducking to avoid the hanging vines. The scrunching sound of wet dirt beneath her sneakers meant nearing water. Kneeling down after ten minutes she found herself staring at her reflection in the crystal clear water. Taking a handful of it in her bound hands she splashed it onto her face and then drank some with her face in the water like a wild cave-man.
Making sure that her hands were wet and slippery Kate tried to slip her hands out of the hand-cuffs she was so use to being in now. How ironic it was that they seemed to follow her wherever she went, even on the island where she could start over. Hand-cuffs…they always were there to limit her progress, always there to keep her tamed.
Standing up, the water on her hands streamed down her arm. Taking a deep breath she prepared herself for the pain that was soon to come. Grimacing slightly, she tried forcing the cuffs off of her left wrist first. Her face scrunched up in pain as they dug into her wrist, the blood trickled out, mingling with the water. Only when her wrists was covered in blood and severely scratched up did Kate finally give up her attempt.
Sitting back down on the rocks, her face pink from exhaustion, she stared helplessly at the water. Her honey-brown eyes widened and her mouth parted in surprise and shock.
"No!"
