-Saving Kate-
-Chapter 9-
-Stay Alive-
Jack woke up, the sun shining in his eyes. He shot up, cursing that he had overslept.
"Locke, Boone?" he boomed out.
Boone sat up and flicked off Jack. "Go back to sleep Jack, it's too fucking early." He dropped his head back on to the ground and fell into his deep slumber once more.
Jack sighed and looked around for Locke. Not seeing the old man in his usual spot, Jack started to get worried. Walking around, he loudly whispered Locke's name, making few survivors shifting in their sleep.
"Locke!" Jack quietly said. "Locke, where are you!"
-LOST-
Kate sleepily woke from her grave slumber, expecting the cell to be empty, not counting the small pile of dirt and bread crusts that accumulated during her hellish stay. She was wrong.
"Ethan, what are you doing?" she asked, her vision blurry.
"…This might hurt, but it'll make Jack worried, and I'll get my revenge in due time."
"Huh? What might hurt?" she asked, lifting her head up to look at Ethan.
"This." Ethan cocked the gun.
"What are you doing!" Kate asked, fear lining her voice at the appearance of the small pistol.
"I explained already." Ethan said, taking aim and his index finger tightened on the trigger.
"Ethan…don't! Please!" she pleaded. She didn't want her life to end, not like this.
"I have to!" Ethan screamed at her, and fired the gun.
-LOST-
A sudden BANG! echoed through the forest, and then a faint scream. The name 'Kate' flashed through Jack's mind. The sleeping survivors woke up drowsily and confusedly.
"What was that?" "Bloody hell, that wasn't Kate, was it?" "Did I just hear a gun?" "Who's shooting a gun?" several questions appeared at once, they were all aimed at Jack, and all of them expected answers.
Jack didn't reply. But instead saw Locke running out of the forest.
"Jack, come with me." He said breathlessly.
-LOST-
Kate felt a sudden sharp pain in her left shoulder. A pool of blood formed at the base of her arm. The wound was fully bleeding, and Kate was losing all of her blood… fast. There was no way to stop it, her hands were in the shackles. Ethan left and a sudden scary atmosphere formed around Kate. She had to close the wound fast, but there was no one to help her.
-LOST-
I never saw you look like this without a reason
Another promise fallen through, another season passes by you
I never took the smile away from anybody's face
And that's a desperate way to look for someone who is still a child
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert
But I can live and breathe and see the sun in the wintertime
In a big country dreams stay with you
Like a lover's voice fires the mountainside
Stay alive
So take that look out of here, it doesn't fit you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been discarded
Pull up your head off the floor, come up screaming
Cry out for everything you might have wanted
I thought that pain and truth were the things that really mattered
But you can't stay here with every hope you had shattered
-LOST-
(A/N: So, what's Kate gonna do? Will Jack save Kate in time? Will Boone and Charlie join the party of searchers? Will Ethan ever get his ass kicked? (Hopefully in tomorrow's update he will. But no promises.)
