A/N: Sorry for the loooong wait. Starting from the bottom of my fic list, I'll be finishing this story before I update any more. Sorry. Okay, Sawyer and Crystal and almost everyone eslse is 14 unless their age is mentioned. In...one episode in season 3. I forget the name, it could be Further instructions up I'm not sure. Locke has his flashback and he's got brown hair and that cop comes. Yeah, he's about that age.

Disclaimer: I do not own Lost, I only own the people that don't appear in the show

"Come on Guys, it's okay!" Crystal shouted

Slowly two people came out. They both looked the same age and they looked very similar to Crystal.

"This is my brother, Derek, and my sister Rose." She said, waving them over.

"Are you triplets?" he asked, looking at all three of them.

Rose nodded and smiled.

"This is Sawyer; he was playing a trick on Mr. Locke and got caught in a trap. He'll only be paralyzed till Saturday." Crystal said

"Good on ya mate!" Derek said, clapping Sawyer on the back.

Sawyer grinned and looked around.

"I'll be right back," Derek said, running off.

He came back a few minutes later with some other kids, around the same age.

"I'm Sarah, can you tell me what Locke's house is like?" she asked,

"Uh, okay. It's big, but somehow empty and he was 4 cats." He said, embarrassed.

"Okay," she said, sitting down near him

After a couple of more questions they talked like regular kids and Sawyer joined in where he could and the others filled him in.

"We were all sent 'ere cause of the war," Derek said the other kids nodded, "Well, 'cept for Jane here, she was born 'ere and we all met her when we arrived."

"I was born 'ere, but my parents….well, my parents died when I was little. I live on my own now," Sawyer said hesitantly.

"That's terrible!" A little 5 year old Jane said

Sawyer nodded and wheeled himself backwards out of the crowd.

"Where do you live now?" asked Jane

"Well, I guess I don't live in a house. I normally sleep in the forest, or a stable, if people have any," Sawyer felt as though he could trust them, so he told them everything about his childhood.

"Will you stick around after you get the feeling back in your legs?" Rose asked

Sawyer shrugged and the little girl pouted.

"Please stay! You should stay with us! My mum already got some more people comin'. She'd be happy to take you in! We've already got another person who came." She said quickly.

"I dunno, I'll think about it." He said, a smile playing on his lips.

She nodded.

"Jane, go get Kate and tell her to come. Then, while your there, tell your parents 'bout Sawyer." Derek said and she nodded eagerly, sprinting towards a large mansion, bigger than Locke's.

"Kate?" Sawyer asked, his eyebrow raised.

"She came with us on the train and is one of Jane's roommates till the war stops. There's something weird about her, and she doesn't talk much and rarely hangs out with us," Crystal informed him.

Jane started running as soon as she and a tall, thin brunette walked out of the house timidly. When Jane reached the group the brunette was still a couple of houses away. Sawyer couldn't help staring at her. She was wearing a sleeveless purple top, dark blue jeans and had her arms folded tightly.

As she got closer Sawyer spotted a deep scratch on her cheek and a couple of small scratches on her arms.

"Hi," she said softly, looking at the ground.

Sawyer looked up at her and caught her gaze.

"Hey," he said, giving her a small smile.

"Mom said you could stay, cause we got a bedroom, well, more like a bunker kinda thing, where all the kids who live with us stay, so they're all together." Jane yapped away, but Sawyer's gaze never left Kate's face.

There was something about her that disturbed him. It was kinda like, all the other kids had this warm, glowing feeling coming from them, but when you looked at Kate, you felt her pain, as if she had been suffering and it was cold, as if she'd never seen light or heat. He decided he liked her, finally tearing his eyes away from her face as she sat down.

"Sawyer!" they heard Locke's voice call and he managed to turn around awkwardly. "Come here,"

He grinned at the others and they waved as he hoisted himself up onto the wheelchair. He wheeled over to the house, going up the ramp and into the house.

"Yes?" he asked when he found Locke in the kitchen.

"Do you want to invite some of your friends over for tonight? I can give you something to stop the paralysis," he said

"Why didn't you do it before?" Sawyer asked

"Had to wait at least four hours." He said with a smile.

Sawyer sighed and nodded.

"What do I have to do?" he asked.

"Come with me." Locke said, walking outside and into the stables. Sawyer followed in his wheelchair, his arms aching.

Locke took out a syringe, filling it with a blue sort of liquid.

"This'll hurt a little." He said and Sawyer nodded as he injected it into his leg.

He grunted and winced but as he drew it out, he started to feel the circulation pumping through it legs. He lifted himself off the chair and stood up shakily. He took a small step forward and almost fell, but held onto the bench. As more feeling returned he could take a few steps without falling.

"I'll go get them," he said, taking a few steps around until he was no longer shaking.

Locke nodded and went back to the house as Sawyer walked to the front of the house, where the kids were still talking.

"Hey, I thought you couldn't walk until Saturday," Crystal said

"Locke gave me something." He said, "You guys wanna spend the night here?"

He waved toward Locke's house and their eyes widened.

"Okay," Kate said quietly.

"So will I!" Jane said but Derek put a hand on her shoulder.

"Ain't you havin' a sleepover tonight?" he asked her and she nodded

"Sorry, I got to go and get ready. Come on guys!" she said, pulling along the young girls and boys in the group.

"Thank goodness," Crystal said.

"We'll just go get permission," Crystal and the other people said, running to several different houses.

Kate stayed where she was on the grass.

"Ain't you gonna ask Jane's mom?" he asked

"She won't care," she said and Sawyer nodded.

A couple of minutes later everyone came back and Sawyer lead them into Locke's house. They all walked timidly except for Kate, who still had her arms crossed and was staring at the ground. Locke had poured several different kinds of drinks and put small pieces of fruit and snacks.

"The beds are in the back room, I won't be here tonight so you can make as much noise as you want and do whatever, just clean everything up when you're done." Locke said and Sawyer nodded.

He left the house an hour later, and by then, they were in the back room, talking and just playing card games.

A/N: Tired now. I liked that chapter. Okay, so we have Kate. Very unlike the one we see on the show. It's kinda like Sawyer and Kate have had a personality swap. She's dark and brooding and he's kinda light-hearted and warm. Anyway, I got the dates wrong. now the war is from 1914 to 1927. Please R&R
