After the door to Jacks bedroom shut Jack sat up and started to pull his pants all the way up his legs. Jack jumped and dropped his pants again when someone coughed from the corner of his room. His father was still there. "Dad…hi." Jack said nervously when seeing his father. "Can I help you?" He asked. He pulled his pants up all the way up and made sure they were secure.
"No, but I can help you." Christian said. "Are you in love with this girl?" He asked his son. Jack froze and turned his face to one side and started at him from one eye.
"No…I'm not." Jack said slowly. Christian smiled.
"Good, well then, we can hang her with no problem." Christian got up and brushed his hands off on his pants. "I'll tomorrow at breakfast and if not then at the hanging, son." His dad walked to the door and stopped when Jack called him back.
"I love her." Jack said quietly. Christian stopped at the door.
"Do you know how I met your mother?" He asked, still facing the door.
"Yeah…she was betrothed to you when she was born…" He had known this story since he was younger. His father didn't answer. "Right?" Jack gulped hard.
"You're mother was a servant at the castle. I fell in love with her before she fell in love with me." Christian said slowly and he sounded uneasy. "I had to beg her to marry me. That's why she doesn't want you with Kate. She loves you and wants you to be happy with out suffering for someone lower in society then you are."
"But…if I wanted to marry her…I could?" Jack asked slowly. Christian nodded. "How?" Jack asked urgently taking a step towards Christian. His father turned around.
"When Margo finally agreed to marry me it was out of my hands like it is for you now. It was out of my parents hands. It was in the hands of the people of society, the people we rule and take care of. Although Margo and I don't consider it important, they do have a large say in who rules them, however."
"But then…" Jack trailed off. No one liked Juliet.
"Their opinion only counts if the person is not royalty, Jack." Jack nodded. "And now I will tell you how you can save her."
"Sun, I need your help." Jack exclaimed rushing up to Sun.
"Yes, your majesty?" She asked as she curtseyed.
"I need to you help me save Kate."
"I'm sorry, you highness, but that's against the Queens orders." Sun said somberly.
"What?!" Jack exclaimed. "What did she say?"
"I was given instructions not to tamper with any prisoners despite other commands." She said looking down. Jack started at her and then took of to find Olivia.
"Charlie!" Jack yelled, jumping off his horse and running to the door. He banged and smashed against the wooden door. "Charlie Pace! Please! Open up!" Jack banged and kicked harder.
The door swung open.
"Your highness!" Charlie was surprised. He held his new born son in his arms and forgot to bow. "How may I help you, come in, come in!"
"No," Jack panted. "No, no, Charlie I need your help…"
"Would you like me to play at the castle…I'll grab my music…just one…"
"No!" Jack shouted. "I need you to save Kate!" Charlie froze, he had his back turned to Jack as he was just running of to grab his music. He slowly turned around.
"Excuse me?" He murmured.
"I need you to save Kate…to help me…"
"Me? Save Kate!" Charlie thundered. "You broke her heart, Prince Jack!" Charlie roared. "YOU save her!" And with that he slammed the door on Jacks face. Jack blinked.
"Sawyer?!" Jack yelled while throwing rocks at his window. "Sawyer get out here!" Sawyer knelt out the window and was hit on the head with a rock.
"Ow!" Sawyer yelled. "Oh! Jacko!" An emotion crossed over his face and Jack knew that Sawyer knew why he was here. "I'll help."
That morning Kate was tried and groggy. She hadn't slept all night, she was terrified. A guard had just came and told her that she was going to be hanged and she had immediately woken up. Today was the day she was going to die. She saw a guard in black begin to walk towards her and she let out one shaky sob. The guard opened the heavy metal door and pulled her out. He tied her hands roughly with rope that was scratchy and he made them tight. Kate was then being pulled by him.
She didn't really acknowledge what she saw. She first went thought of her mother and father, and how she hoped they wouldn't be in the crowd. And then Helen, if she saw Kate die…
She tried her hardest not to cry. She wasn't going to cry today.
She then thought of Sawyer and why she couldn't have given him one chance with her. Charlie and Claire and their new born Aaron. Born Aaron, living under the rule of Juliet.
Then Jack.
She thought back to when she first met him…down by the stream, the look on his face when he first saw her. It was like she was a goddess in hell. And then her tearing his shirt open. Kate laughed slightly and the guard turned to look at her. She stopped laughing. Then she thought of when they were in the water together, all wet and sopping, just laughing. She smiled and then grinned wildly. And when they had last kissed. She sighed peacefully. Her mind was surprisingly calm, but her heart was beating frantically, as if it wanted to beat its self out first, or that it wanted to get in as many beats before it couldn't beat at all.
Then she stepped into the sunlight. The whole town was there. Claire was looking down, Charlie holding Aaron against his chest. Helen with her eyes squeezed shut and her mom and dad. They were crying. The people who had thrown foods before no longer held any, their hats were taken respectfully off their heads. No one made eyecontact. No one except for one.
Sawyer was standing at the front of the crowd, grinning at her. Kate looked at him curiously, she cocked her head. He grinned wider and Kate felt resentment flow through her. She looked away. The pulled her onto the hallow platform.
It had no bottom, Kate noticed for the first time. There was only one guard, the one leading her. He was to big for her to take on. He led her up the steps onto the bottomless platform.
She scanned the crowd for Jack but didn't see him. She felt a bag go over her head and she couldn't see anything.
She thought to all the morning she spent with Jack. Happy, peaceful quite morning. No one was scowling at them. The sun wasn't harshly burning their faces. It was calm, and it was just them. She grasped those memories. She held it tightly in her mind made herself try and feel that feeling. The feeling Jack gave her.
The noose slipped around her neck.
The last thing she wanted was to experience when she was him and they were just…in love with each other. Neither had really spoken it yet…but it was like they had subconsciously known it. She had loved that.
They pulled the trap door. She fell.
But then, she stopped. Someone was holding her up, supporting her. Kate frowned and wiggled a bit. Then it hit her. Sawyer. Suddenly she heard cries. And foot steps. One heavy thud, then a cutting noise, more screaming, and then suddenly, she was scooped up! Kate gasped in surprise as someone ran off with her.
Kate was thrown harshly onto a horse! She didn't know if she was in the back or the front so reached forward and grabbed onto a mans arms…she felt him slightly…this seemed familiar.
They rode for about 30 minutes, Kate tried to speak but the noose was still around her neck and it hurt to speak. They stopped. She was pulled of the horse and the noose and bag came off. Soon pair of lips were pressed firmly into hers and her back against the horse. Kate moaned passionately, she recognized the kisses, the lips and the tongue. All were Jacks. Jack rubbed his hands up and down her body and Kate began breathing heavily.
"Jack, wait…slow down." She giggled. Jack pulled away and grinned. "What happened back there?" She asked.
"Sawyer was in the front to catch you to keep you from actually being hanged; I knocked out the guard, and cut you free and took off." He explained. Kate sighed and launched herself on him. Jack chuckled as they began kissing feverishly again. He ran his hands through her hair, despite that they were greasy, and he rubbed himself against her, inciting an excited groan from Kate.
"Jack…" Kate pulled away again. "What now?"
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Do we go back? Their bound to find us." She said.
"Exactly, we sit here and we wait." And with that he leaned forward and they began to kiss again.
What shall happen:o:o:o!!! Hehe. Will they let them marry?
