Chapter Nine
Loro
"Now, Kate, just sit still," A voice said through the darkness. It was calm at the moment, but she could tell that whoever was doing this was evil. The cold, hard, concrete table she sat on was dirty and dusty. Kate sneezed a couple of times before saying something. "Why are you doing this?" Kate asked in a frightened voice. All she saw was darkness, like she was nowhere. Like she was in hell, with no place run, and no place to hide except for in the shadows of the dark. Kate did feel like she was in hell. Her head was filled with pain. The bandage on her leg was removed, and it was bleeding uncontrollably. Kate wrapped her hands around it, but it didn't do much except for get blood all over her hands. She wiped them off on her shirt. Just then, she noticed she was wearing something different. It was an itchy brown shirt that was two times too big, and she wasn't wearing any pants, just her underwear. Her feet were bare and she was shivering, not because it was cold, but because she was scared. Kate ran her fingers through her hair. It was a mess of knotty curls. She felt tired and exhausted. Kate laid her head down on the table and curled up in a ball and shut her eyes, only to hear a flickering noise, like a light switch. Sure enough, the lights in the room turned on. But these weren't any lights; this was a bright, almost blinding light. Kate shot up and covered her eyes. "Hello, Kate," a voice said again. The lights dimmed a little and a short figure came into the room.
"Who are you?" Kate asked, angry. Her hands turned into fists and she stared at him. "I'm Ben," the man said. "But…but…where am I? Why did you take me here?" Kate questioned, very confused. "Listen, Kate, we're just going to run some tests so we need you to be cooperative," Ben instructed her. He grabbed her arm. "Get off of me!" Kate screamed, pulling back, "You are not doing anything to me!" "Are you sure about that Kate?" Ben said. "Yes. I'm not going to let you harm me!" Kate shot back. "Well then…" Ben replied and pulled out a large, thick piece of wood, and slammed it onto her head before she could say anything. She blacked out then, her eyes flickering closed.
"Do you want to tell me what happened, Kate?" Jack asked. "What?" Kate asked, even though she knew what he was asking for. "What happened? How come I found you in the jungle, bruised and half-dead?" Jack asked again. "Oh," Kate whispered. "I…I…I don't remember," she said, even though she knew she did. She remembered everything…
Kate awoke to a loud screech. It was the door to the dark, dirty room. A blonde woman walked in. She seemed calm and nice, although Kate wasn't really sure about anything with these people. "I'm just coming in to see how you're doing," the blonde woman said. "Why would you care how I'm doing?" Kate asked. "Well, you know, Ben hit you over the head pretty hard," the woman said with a smile. "Yeah, I know," Kate replied, holding her head in her hands. "When am I going to get out of here?" Kate asked finally. The blonde woman looked at her for a long time. She bit her lip and looked down. "You know what?" The woman said, "I can get you out of here."
"Are you sure?" Jack asked, wondering if Kate's injuries caused memory loss. "Yes," Kate answered quietly. She hated to lie.
The door opened to the light, the light of the sun. "Okay, listen carefully," The woman said. "All you have to do is walk straight forward through the jungle until you hit a beach. Then walk west and eventually you'll find your camp," She said, gently pushing her out the door. "Thank you!" Kate called as she went off. The woman smiled and turned around as the door shut.
"Juliet," she heard a voice behind her, "What are you doing?"
