Another short, but important chapter, and you guys are oh so lucky because I was SO not going to update today, but it's a snow day, well not snow day, more of a freezing rain/icy day. You know natural Canadian whether.

Pangs of Guilt

Chapter 24

The Language Barrier

"So you're telling me, that this island is already inhabited by people," Jack asked.

Vincent had finally calmed down and lay sleeping once again beside Walt. All the survivors had gathered around the fire as Kate explained the reoccurring dreams she'd had for the past five months.

"So these people, they actually live here," Sayid asked.

"Yeah, the islands is some country's military headquarters," she explained, "Every time I got a glimpse of them in the dreams, they were always wearing green army clothes, and this is the red patch they had around one of their arms," she added holding up the ripped fabric.

"That doesn't make since, wouldn't there be boats coming in and out of the island all the time?" Boone asked.

"It could be possible that whichever country found this island, has chosen to keep it a secret," Sayid suggested.

"What about other people?" Sawyer asked angrily, clearly not believing any of what Kate said, "If an island is discovered once, it's bound to be found again."

"Not if everyone that found it, they killed," Kate replied.

"Freckles," Sawyer began as he stood up and lit another cigarette, "this is the biggest load of horse sh.."

"Fine don't believe me!" Kate yelled as she stood up, "You guys think I'm insane, or having very lucid dreams because I'm pregnant. But the truth is, we know nothing about this island, we only live on a sixteenth of it. And you have not seen what they've done," she added tears peeking at her eyes.

"What do you mean, 'What they've done?'" Sayid asked after a long pause.

Kate sighed, "Basically," she paused, everyone looking at her, willing her to continue, "I've seen you all die," she whispered.

"Excuse me?" Claire asked surprised.

"I've seen you all die," Kate replied, "Well not really all of you, they do separate us," Kate corrected.

"That's horrible," Claire exclaimed.

"Love, it was only a dream," Charlie explained to her.

"No Charlie, dreams aren't just dreams, each one has a meaning behind it, they say if you have a dream more then three times, it'll happen in reality," she turned to Kate, "How often have you had these dreams?"

"More then once a night every time I go to sleep," Kate explained solemnly, "But they change, one aspect will change to see if the outcome is better. It's like if my mind is making me do different things in the dream so I can find a way to stop this."

"Have you?" Jack asked, "Found a way to stop it?"

"No, they always seem to end with me being shot, or stabbed or killed in some other brutal way," Kate replied, "All I can tell you is that after they come, they separate us by genders."

"What happens?" Shannon choked out.

"I don't think you…"

"No," she swallowed, "I want to know."

"Alright, it all depends which order were in," Kate began, "In the best case scenario, I'm last, Shannon you're first. You start to have an asthma attack and they take you into the jungle and I never see you again, so I don't know what happens to you," Kate swallowed, "They, umm shoot Sun point blank because she didn't answer her question in English. The translator tries to bug me but I hurt him, umm, he's about to shoot me in the stomach," she stopped tears flowing from her eyes.

"Kate, stop, we don't need to know anymore," Jack told her.

"Yes you guys do, because you don't believe me," she sniffed angrily and wiped tears from her cheek.

"Does Alex survive?" Claire asked holding him; he was asleep against her shoulder.

Kate merely shook her head, "Neither do I," Kate added, "But I never saw you get shot…"

Claire's eyes filled with tears. Everyone sat quietly and stared at the fire for some time.

"Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm heading back to the beach," Sawyer explained as he got up.

"You want to walk back with those people out there?" Shannon asked.

"So because Freckles has a dream, automatically all this is going to happen? Sorry Sticks, I didn't surviving a damn plane crash so I could get shot by some military island idiots," he explained and started to walk away.

"I can prove it," Kate said quietly as she stared into the fire. Everyone once again gazed stunned at her.

Sawyer turned around slowly and sent her his trademark smirk, "Alright Freckles, prove it."

"Sun can speak English," she said blankly

Oh by the by, Ethan found out yesterday that he's allergic to corn chips, and after crying on his princess pillow for an hour I finally managed to get him to try popcorn and now he's addicted to that… (lol that happened to a friend of mine, except it wasn't corn chips it was a certain substance…)

Pink Pinker Hey don't knock it 'til you've tried it. My pal David is a heavy Wiccan (Like he's very into it) and it's giving him like the 6th sense and because I hang around with him so much. We've been inseparable since the 5th grade, and he's starting to rub off on me. It's annoying really. I told Lizzie about the game 'I never' and we're going to play it, except she's done so much crap I've never done, so I'm going to be like full up, so we ditched that idea and went with the Lost drinking game instead. We're going to drink every time Jack is a hero, every time Sawyer hit's on Kate, every time Kate gets all pensive and angry and says 'WHAT?" every time Shannon and Sayid are together, every time Locke as a knife, every time there's one of those eye close up things, and every time we see Boones eyebrows LMAO. Oh and yesterday she attacked some girl she didn't know it the mall because she saw a picture of Ian in her magazine and she took it (After asking if she could have it…)

Tatiana S'okay, lol I wanted to tell you that there's a park on the way to my sister from hell's city and it's called Tatiana park and I was like "Hey! I wish there was a park named after me!" I thought it was cool…
