It was in the middle of the night and Sawyer once more got woken by a noise. He put a hand to the air to protect his eyes from the white light that was shone on him. Sawyer got up as he saw the person behind the flashlight that was pointed to his face.
"Juliet." He said surprised, getting up and walking over, putting both of his hands at the bars of his prison. She looked pale, but still beautiful as ever with her long blond curls loosely hanging down her shoulders. "I came here to ask you some questions and I want answers." She said her face expressionless again. Sawyer smiled to himself, shaking his head lightly, looking her in those bright shining blue eyes of hers.
"Good Evening to you too, Sunshine." He greeted her jokingly, whereupon Juliet just rolled her eyes.
"What's going on? First you knew my name, Jack did too. You know things about me I haven't told anybody on this island before. I was seriously trying to believe Jack was going crazy but at the moment…. At the Moment I think I'm going to. So please tell me what's happening here." She said frustrated, running a hand through her hair. "You wanna know?" he asked. Juliet nodded. "Let me out and I'll tell ya." Juliet sighed. "I…. " she began, but footsteps and suddenly a oh so familiar voice startled her.
"Juliet! What're you doing here?" the voice called out into the dark. Sawyer meant to see a glimpse of fear in her eyes. "C'mon Juliet. Hurry up. I gotta talk to you." Ben stepped out of the dark, his expression emotionless and Sawyer knew this Juliet was still scared of it in some ways. "I gotta go. But I'm telling you I'm not ready with you yet." She breathed quietly, so Ben wouldn't hear her. She gave Sawyer a last glance, then closed her eyes for a second and bit her bottom lip. Juliet breathed in deeply once and exhaled before turning around. "You ain't gotta do this, y'know?!" Sawyer whispered over to her. Juliet stopped remaining still. "Oh yeah, I have to." She said but more to herself than to Sawyer and so she left with him. With the guy she hated the most. The he hated the most for making his girls life a living hell.
Sawyer didn't know where they where going now. What he'd do to her. Would he punish her for talking to him? For sure Ben was watching and listening to them the whole time.
"Sawyer?" Kate's sleepy voice came out of the dark.
"Hm!" Sawyer replied a little absence.
"What time is it?" she asked.
"Don't know. 11 maybe." Sawyer sat down in a corner leaning his back against the stone wall. "Can't exactly see my watch, Freckles." Kate smirked.
"Sorry." She quietly said after a pause.
"For what?"
"I feel so bad for what happened that afternoon. Sorry for screwing it up." She apologised and Sawyer grunt slightly.
"Ain't your fault, Freckles. I screwed it all up." He thought about what happened and he somehow regretted putting Kate's life in danger. The only thing he didn't regret was kissing the love of his life.
"To be honest, your little plan wasn't quite that well considered, though." Kate chuckled after a while. Sawyer smiled. "Now I'm feelin' so much better. C'mon bring me down." Sawyer called out trying to seem hurt. He didn't make it, though. Both started laughing.
"You think they're watching us right now?" Kate asked after a few seconds. Sawyer looked up at the camera that hung in his cage. The red light was still blinking.
"Guess so. Anyways, Ben's tied up with business right now. Hence they're not listening." Sawyer began. Kate raised an eyebrow. "I'm not so sure about that."
"Listen Freckles, I've gotta plan. " He continued.
"What another one? I hope you thought about it more than once." Kate chuckled lightly. Sawyer would have given one of his typical Sawyer glares if she could see his face.
"That ain't funny, Freckles. Okay, here's the plan. Tomorrow is gonna be the day Pickett's wife dies."
"Yeah so?"
"By the time they're all busy tryin' to save her life we're getting' the hell outta here." Sawyer explained. Kate frowned. "What about Jack?" He could hear how concerned she was about the whole thing. And who could hold it against her. They didn't know what was going to happen. "Wouldn't it be easier just to play along?"
"I ain't goin' trough all this torture again. Y'know how it feels get beaten up by that asshole Pickett?
"Well, Juliet punished him enough last time."
"Ain't about revenge, Kate. I don't want her to kill'm."
"Why not, he deserved it. May sound cruel but…"
"I don't wanna make her a damn killer!"
As Sawyer started shouting at her, Kate got suddenly pretty quiet trying to take all in what he said. She didn't understand that's what bothered Sawyer the most. Maybe she just didn't wanna understand.
"She did it before, Sawyer."
"Not in that time."
"Sawyer…"
"No, Freckles. You don't understand. They almost killed her for helping us getting' away from here, last time."
"But she didn't." Kate said angrily, crossing her arms in front of her breast.
Sawyer mumbled something to himself, then remained quiet. Kate obviously didn't know what they did to Juliet. She didn't know on what barbarous kinda way they'd punished her. Sawyer was disgusted by even thinking about it and he meant to smell burned flesh. There was no way he'd allow that to happen again.
Kate sighed, trying to make herself comfortable on the rock she lay now.
"I'm sorry." She whispered then into the dark. "I was just thinking about the consequences."
"Consequences for what?" Sawyer replied after a long pause.
"We cant just change the past, uh presence ..Uhm past. What ever." She stumbled.
"Then why do ya think we're here?" He was seriously questioning her now and Kate thought about it for a minute just to recognise she had no clue. What a coincidence! Sawyer shook his head.
"Lock once said we're here for a reason. Every one of us. So if that's true then why're we back in this time if not to change something?" She kept quiet, listening to her own breathing.
"Think about it, Freckles." Sawyer gave it up for now. He'd give her the time to sleep about everything and maybe she'd be with him by the time the next day started.
