Well it's been 1 week and 19 hours since I've had my sweet lil' writing computer (I'm in denial). But I'm sure it'll be back soon, any day now (So in denial).
Anywoo I'm glad you all liked this story, it just popped into my mind after Lost, because you know I'm a hopeless shipper and I always will be. And I want you to know I was going to put it up yesterday but my mom was all like "Get off the computer" and I was like "Just a sec" and we argued for about 15 minutes, but in the age old battle, mother's law overrules daughters soo…
Also I think there's going to be 5 chapters, not four as indicated last time, I will try to write and update everyday or so, but alas exams are coming up soon and I have been bombed with the missiles of Functions, Biology, and French (C'est dommage…)
Broken Promises
Chapter 2 (of 4 or 5)
Painful Realizations
Kate moaned agonizingly, consciousness was slowly slipping back into her, her head boomed, the slightest noise seemed to pain her severely. Trying to ignore the looming throbbing in her head, she tired to focus on what had just happened.
She couldn't remember a thing, but the colors green and blue kept repeating themselves voluntarily in her mind. She kept searching her memories, but a constant scraping noise kept confusing her thoughts.
Her mouth felt like the Sahara, she needed to go to the caves and get some water, wait she remembered talking to Jack by the falls, about, about seeds! She remembered, commenting on the color and feeling of the little globes. She had gone to plant them in the garden when, oh no.
She closed her eyes forcefully before opening them for the first time, since she passed out. The sun smoldered between the think canopies of the jungles, even the dim beams made her head ache more.
Kate finally noticed something odd, she was moving. She weakly let her head drop to look beneath her. The constant scraping sound was her feet dragging unwillingly into the dry soil of the deep jungle untouched by precipitation.
She used most of her reserved energy to turn her head towards Ethan, she realized he'd been walking with her through the jungle; her eyes traced his arm and then recognized that his hand was draped just slightly below her hip, her body pulled against him to make it easier for him to drag her away.
She shivered; she didn't like being on an island with this guy when she knew he was miles away from camp, but now being so close to him, away from the others, she was terrified.
"Look who finally decided to wake up," Ethan said sadistically.
"Where's Jack?" Kate muttered.
Ethan sighed, "You know I'm really tired of you newbies and your puppy love."
"What did you do to him?" Kate demanded.
"Relax," Ethan stated, "He's fine, for now. He's coming to look for you though; I invited him to, because I really didn't feel like finishing him off back there," he explained, "Why do you think I'm not carrying you? The scuff marks in the dirt are tracks to lead him up here. It's even obvious to him."
"What do you want with us?" Kate asked barley able to catch a breath.
"I want Jack dead, I want Claire's baby, but you," he gave a wicked smile that sunk Kate's stomach; "You're special."
"You're disgusting," Kate replied revolted.
"Yeah, well you haven't seen anything yet," he stated, the he stopped suddenly, pushing some vines aside, revealing a metal bolted door with a lock on it. Ethan adjusted Kate and pulled an item out of his pocket.
The key shone in the fading evening sunlight. Kate swallowed hard, it was becoming dark. She didn't want to be here, she wanted to be somewhere else, with someone else.
Ethan unlocked the door, and then threw the key to the ground, "For our friend Jack, when he reaches here."
"When Jack does get here, you'll be sorry," Kate warned.
Ethan chuckled his disturbing laugh, "What's Jack going to do?"
"I don't know, but he'll teach you a lesson, Jack's more of a man then you'll ever be," Kate added cruelly.
Ethan violently flipped her around in one swift move, which made Kate's head spin. One of his hands held both of her wrists tight, then he viscously brought his other hand up and gripped her cheek where she was sure a bruise was forming.
She let out a gasp that sounded more like a painful squeak, "You'd better watch what you say to me, because I can hurt you a lot more then I have," he added then threw her to the ground. She watched as he pushed the heavy metal door, to reveal only darkness within.
"Jack!" a voice called him, Kate? No this voice was too deep and held a strong British accent. Jack wearily opened his eyes to see a worried Charlie hovering over his head.
Charlie smiled relieved, "He's all right," he called over his shoulder to some unknown parties. Sayid immediately rushed to Jack's side, and he and Charlie helped him into a seating position.
Jack placed a hand on his slit lip, the blood had stopped flowing but it was swollen. He looked around and saw Sun and Michael near by, Sun more focused on him, not caring a shred about her garden.
"Jack, take it easy mate," Charlie cautioned.
"Where's Kate?" Jack asked back.
"We haven't seen her since earlier today, what happened here my friend?" Sayid asked concerned.
"Ethan came," he said dismayed. Charlie's face immediately lost all color; "I've got to go," Jack explained getting up wobbling but not falling.
"You need to take it easy man," Michael explained.
"I'm fine, just a slit lip," Jack reassured.
"You're face looks like someone stepped on it," Charlie explained bluntly.
"Ethan did step on it, that was right before he took Kate out into the jungle, just like he took Claire," Jack explained as he looked at Charlie, knowing how he felt now, "I have a chance to get them back, Ethan said he'd love for me to follow him, but if anyone else does but me, he'll kill Kate right on the spot."
"Ethan took Kate?" Sayid asked puzzled, Jack nodded as he checked his bag the four bottles of water he had packed early laid cushioned in the bottom, "Kate seems like she wouldn't go without a fight."
Jack froze has he remembered what happened, he let out a stifled sigh, "Believe me, she got her fight."
Sayid understood and dropped the subject, "You know Ethan has set a trap for you," Sayid added.
Jack nodded, "I, I can't just leave her out there," Jack explained as he put on his backpack.
Charlie smiled at him, "Good luck mate."
Kate sighed, she had so many mixed emotions, she wasn't sure which one to let take over. She was terrified of Ethan; she didn't want to think about what he had done to Claire, or what he wanted to do to her. She was worried for Jack; she'd seen what'd happened to him before, when Ethan and he fought. Now he certainly didn't stand a chance. She knew Jack knew Ethan would set a trap. She also knew he'd come to get her, he'd come to get anyone, even if it meant risking his own life.
But she decided anger was her main feeling at the time, not only had she been foolish enough to think she could beat Ethan, but once again, even on an undefined island, she was in jail.
Ethan had powerfully forced her into a jail cell, which consisted of a dank, cold concrete wall, a barred confine, and hand cuffs which were attached to the concrete, and around her wrists.
Kate sat angrily on the cold empty floor, she could try to make an escape, but by what she had seen this shelter only contained three rooms, the one she was in, which was separated in half by the emotionless steel bars. The one Ethan went to before he locked her in here, and one she hadn't seen, she didn't want to see it either.
She slowly stood up, she fathomed it had been around two hours since the garden incident. She had lost her nausea, but her face stung, the once soft skin swollen. The chains held her in place, she could not move freely from the place she stood now.
Hesitantly she grabbed the handcuff on her right hand with her left hand. She flexed her hand and drew in a deep breath as she slid it over her skin. Ignoring the pain as the metal ripped the skin on her wrists and hand.
After doing the same with the remaining handcuff she looked at her wrists, most of the skin on them had been removed but, not enough to bleed; it just looked red, and raw to her.
Kate walked to the door, which she noticed Ethan didn't lock; maybe he wasn't as smart as she assumed he was. She quietly pushed the corroded door, so it wouldn't groan loud.
Suddenly she heard the door leading out click. Kate froze; she was unsure what to do, attack Ethan or hurriedly go put the handcuffs back on. Before she had a chance, Ethan was in the room.
He smirked, "I guess I should've expected this from a convict," he explained moving forward.
She tried to get past him, but Ethan was too quick, his arm reached out and snatched her by her wrist. Kate cried out, why was it every time she had a plan, it never worked out.
She balled her fist to hit him, but he tightened his grip on her skinned wrist, Kate weakly relaxed her hand, which gave Ethan the moment he need to reach into his pocket. He pulled out a small item.
Before Kate could register what it was, the syringe was in her neck, and the drug was in her body. She gasped weakly as she felt the sharp tip pull out from her neck, and remembered Ethan smiling smugly before she fell to the ground.
Now my favorite part of the writing, being an idiot and answering the comments (if they can in fact be commented on)
Whirlwind-2005 I've been called many things, but never a natural born writer, thank you very much for the compliment. And I promise as soon as the comp, is all better (he's got the flu), I'll update a lot, because I have a lot of pages written (I think I was at 94 when the crash happened)
Auroramist Next chapter is up, and the next should be up tomorrow
FanOfLost I hear your demand, and I'll get on it right away. I wonder how Jack will react to Ethan being a big ol' jerky jerk faced jerk to Kate?
JaimeLeigh Wow is the word I choose to describe you all everybody, because you guys are so awesome! Always writing nice things
Lara Chubb Of Deephollow Thank you, and Yes Ethan is stupid! If he were in the real world he'd get hit by a car or something (à la Michel), but of course he has the upper hand on the island, but what if Jack just looses his crap when he… Nevermind, you'll see…erm read soon enough…And yes I miss my computer! A hole in my heart!
ReailtYtvQueeN AWWW! Shiggity! Lol I'm glad you like my writing so much, the chapters are pretty long and originally this was supposed to be a one shot but it was taking too long to write so I separated it into 5 chapters
Rain1657 Promise to continue, but I do NOT Promise that there will be a happy ending…
Rain Drop Kisses I love to hear that I've kept them in character, because we've never really seen them in a situation like this before, so I never know if I've made Kate to wimpy or stuff like that…
CrAzYhOrSeGiRl88 Yeah I like to call that the Mount Everest cliffhanger because you're like "What's gonna happen! What's gonna happen! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WHAT WILL HAPPEN!" and then you keep checking to see if it's up or not (or maybe you don't and I'm desperately obsessed…) And I'd like to thank my original mind for my original plot, A Thank ya. Check soon for an update…
NEXT CHAPTER- Momma said knock someone out, so I did, who will it be? Jack, Kate, Ethan? All three of them? Maybe Jack and Kate, Maybe Kate twice, Maybe Kate and Ethan? Who knows? (Except me)
