keep in mind this whatever it is that did this to this man isn't the island monster(security system whichever). By the way I majorly procrastinate when I'm not feeling well so its going onto Kate here.

Chapter 2

Sawyer ran through the forest towards the screaming that could still be heard he felt someone following him and guessed it was Kate. He came to a sudden halt when he saw what was in front of him. A woman he recognized as Amanda had her husbands head cradled in her lap. But that wasn't what had brought him to the abrupt halt. It was the man himself he was not only dead but was missing both his arms and a leg.

Sawyer looked up as everyone came into the clearing he saw Jack come last he shook his head. Jack knelt beside Amanda and lay his hand on her shoulder. "Amanda I'm sorry for your loss but we have to bury him before whatever that thing was comes back."

Amandas only response was to nod Sawyer saw Kate walk over to her and help her up. The other woman collapsed in her arms sobbing. Jack called to some of the men to help lift the man up. Another survivor lost to this horrible island Amanda broke free from Kate and followed the men.

Kate looked over and caught Sawyers eye he was watching her worriedly. She cocked an eyebrow at him. He shook his head slightly. She walked over to him and wrapped her arm around him. "You okay?" she asked.

He pulled her into his arms and buried his face in her hair am I okay now theres a real rich question to ask Freckles, he thought. He hugged her tighter. "I'm fine sweetheart just worried about whatevers out there," he responded quietly. He kissed the side of her head she pulled back slightly and looked at him. He shrugged slightly and smiled softly.

She looked at him and shook her head. "You don't have to worry you know whatevers out there hopefully wont bother us again for a while." She smiled slightly and shrugged her shoulders.

Sawyer nodded and held her closer. "I still worry I mean remember thats what you said three years ago and look what happened." Kate groaned.

Three Years Earlier and six months earlier Kate walked into the jungle it had been raining for days and no one had wanted to venture any further from the caves or the beach. She'd decided she needed to stretch her legs before she went stir crazy just sitting around doing nothing. Too many things running through her brain what was she going to do about Jack she liked him and all but she didn't want to be with him.

She sighed and ran her fingers through her completely sopping wet hair and Sawyer now there was another matter they'd been on this godforsaken island for three years and even though when she'd chosen Jack, the man wouldn't give up. She'd thought him dead for a time when she'd heard the raft had been burnt down the whole world had seemed to stop in that one second. What if he never came back. What if the last time she would ever see him was that time on the beach? She'd never gotten to say goodbye.

Kate shook her head and that damned kiss he'd given her last week what the hell was he thinking. Probably not thinking considering Sawyer she'd enjoyed it but she was with someone else she wasn't supposed to be thinking that.

She felt like stomping her feet and screaming and throwing a tantrum like a child but that wouldn't exactly help them in any matter whatsoever. So here she was out in the middle of the jungle in the rain alone to her thoughts. She looked up to the heavens. "Give me a sign tell me which one of them I'm supposed to choose," she cried out.

Kate heard a rustling noise behind her and sighed when Sawyer stepped out from the jungle. He had his shirt off and was wringing it out its raining and he has shirt off terrific like that definitely helps the matter. "Hey Freckles talking to yourself?" he asked gently.

She glared at him and stomped off the other way he was impossible hang on she was stomping off she was being the impossible one here. She heard another rustle beside her she was about to turn when she saw something white start comin' her way. Oh crap a polar bear she started running when she fell to the ground the thing was on top of her. She heard a gun shot go off and the heavy weight fall off her back.

Kate rolled onto her back and she saw Sawyer standing there offering his hand. She grasped it and he pulled her up she looked at him and he looked back she took a cautious step towards him. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionately.

Sawyer pulled her closer wrapping his arms around her and there they stood two people not knowing what the future held or where it might lead them. But this one moment where nothing else mattered but each other. He pulled back and brushed some hair away from her face. "You okay sweetheart?"

She looked at him and nodded. "Now I am." She hugged him tightly and sighed softly. She know knew where she belonged she'd known it for a while but she wouldn't let herself admit it. She wasn't stubborn for nothing for god sakes. She'd have to tell Jack tomorrow oh goodie that was gonna be fun. He'd probably try to talk her out of it.
