Part 1

As he woke, the jungle was all surrounding him. The cage, gone. His dirty blonde hair covering his face as the sun burnt his skin. His heart pounding, still torn in two from his recent loss. How long had it been since he had looked into her deep, dark eyes or felt her smooth, sun kissed skin next to his. Sawyer had not realised his love for the dark beauty until he had lost her, he would do anything to get her back, have her here now, at his side.

His trance was broken by the sound of voices only a few feet from him.

"It's about time you woke up!" The voice familiar to him, made his skin crawl. The reason he lost his love. Henry.

"What do you want, not Henry?" His gaze rising to the other. He sat in a chair just feet away from him, a smug look covering his features.

"Now, now Sawyer, you and I both know that isn't my name. You must feel at a great disadvantage, not knowing what my name actually is. I'll give you a clue shall I? It begins with a B." The cowboy rose to his feet, the corners of his mouth raising. A snigger escaping his tight lips.

"Bastard?" His dimples deep and meaningful as Henry Gale's expression angered.

"It's Ben, Sawyer." Another smile erupting from Sawyer's face.

"Well, well, Ben, your second name seems awfully familiar, kinda like mine." Ben's patience was at it's last tether.

"Would you like my offer or not Sawyer?" Sawyers head cocking ever so slightly, his gaze never leaving Ben's.

"And what would that be now?" He didn't trust this Ben as far as he could throw him, and he was enjoying teasing him way too much.

"My offer, Sawyer. Would you like your girl back? Ana-Lucia I believe her name was." The arrogant smile vanished from Sawyer's face, his expression angered, hurt apparent in his eyes.

"You mention her name one more time and I swear I'll . . ."

"You swear you'll what Sawyer? There is a way. But we must act quickly or Ana-Lucia will be lost forever."

Part 2

Striding through the corridors, Sawyer and Ben passed many doors. Most of them stood locked, finally, after what seemed like fifteen minutes they stopped at yet another locked door. Feeling into his pocket Ben pulled out a rounded key, rusted with age. Placing the key in the lock, Ben's hand trembled ever so slightly. This did not miss Sawyer's attention. What was Ben so nervous about? Was he even telling the truth? The door swung open with a click and Sawyer found himself in front of an empty room.

"What the heck is this, psycho?" Anger rising through his veins, the whites of his eyes swelling to a greater size.

"You can not prevent her from being shot Sawyer, but you can stop it being fatal. Good luck Sawyer." Feeling hands on his chest, Sawyer looked down before being swiftly pushed into the room. The walls disappearing by the second. His heart banging against it's cage, attempting escape as he swivelled round, rapidly. The room no longer around him, surrounded by the jungle once more. The sky beginning to darken.

Jack, Kate and locke behind him. This was the night Michael killed Ana, and he was going to be too late to save her again. He couldn't sit back and watch her die. Not again. Sawyers pace quickened. Before long he was in full sprint, leaving the rest far behind, puzzled. The jungle whizzed past him at great speed, his blonde hair flowing behind him as the cool air stung his face. Nothing was going to stop him saving his girl. Fear began to rise in his chest. What would it be like to see her again? He could kiss her and touch her, watch her for as long as he liked and no one could take that away from him. He couldn't let her die. Not again. The warm skin of his hands clashed with the cool metal of the hatch door as he swung it open silently. Fear consuming him. He didn't let it show. In front of him stood Michael, aiming a gun at Ana.
