Last Chapter: We'll eat up. It rained last night so finding dry wood is going to be the hard part," Jack said once he was done eating, "I'll go tell the others what they will need to do today and then we'll leave." Jack walked off leaving Kate to eat.
Kate finished her fruit quickly and waited for Jack to return. She was excited to spend the day with him and learn more about him and his family. In spite of that, she was sort of nervous as to if the old question would be brought up, what had she done. It wasn't really a question that could be answered in one sentence. Kate had done a lot of things. It would take her at least an hour for her to name them all. By that time, Jack would probably be bored and stop caring.
Jack came back to the fire and extended his arm down to Kate to help her up. She pushed it away saying, "Do you really want to be pulled down on top of me. With your hurt arm I would pull and you would pull and I would win." Once Kate had finished speaking, she pushed her self to her feat and started to walk into the jungle.
"Wait up!" Jack shouted and started sprinting after her.
Once he had caught up to her Kate spoke, "See, you caught up," and with that continued walking deeper into the jungle.
They spent an hour in silence as they walked in silence but, finally, Kate spoke. "What was your family like?"
"My family? I loved my mother. Nicest women you could ever meet. My dad however, was a jackass. Never did anything but tell me I was going to amount to nothing. YEAH DAD, NEVER AMOUNT TO NOTHING HUH, LOOK AT ME NOW!!! Jack yelled looking up at the canopy as he did it.
"I'm sorry Jack. I didn't mean to bring up something that hurt you," Kate whispered scared.
"Huh? Oh sorry I just spaced off for a moment. I tend to do that sometimes when I think back to how life was. My father was a doctor who kept pounding in my head things like, 'You'll never be good enough. Not like me.' or 'I have the goods, you will never have what I have for I worked very hard and there is no way that you could ever work as hard as I did.' It gets me upset at times to think that my father was like that and I'm supposed to turn into him," Jack said sounding slightly embarrassed but mostly unnerved. He continued, "My father was dead. That was why I was on this plane. I was taking him back to my old home so mom could see him buried. The weird thing is, I kept seeing him walking around. I thought it was just my mind at first but then, I found his empty coffin when I found the caves," Jack said as he continued walking further into the jungle.
"You mean to say, that you think your father just got up and started living again? Don't tell me you think that Jack. That's impossible!" Kate said with urgency in her voice.
"That's not what I said! I then thought that through and came up with the answer. The coffin fell open when we landed, he fell out, and the boars found him and ate him. I at least hope that's what happened," Jack responded quickly.
The next few hours they spent in silence. Then, out of nowhere Jack said, "Run!"
