A/N: This chapter was written by Lostgurl (Laura)
Shannon settled herself down on a large boulder in the woods. She was completely lost-not that it mattered. Chances were, Sayid would come and rescue her. But right now she wanted to be alone, just wanted to clear her head-even if it meant doing it in the middle of god-damn nowhere. Carefully she shifted her flip-flopped feet-which, by some miracle, still had the same pink nail polish in contact on them-to avoid bugs and all the shit in the woods. Ugh. So maybe she hadn't picked the bets place to think…
Crack Shannon nearly jumped a foot in the air. Jesus. What the hell kind of island was this, anyway? That was the question everyone was trying to figure out…
Snap Shannon turned around, eying the area in which she sat. She could swear she could hear some sort of deep breathing…
"Sayid?" She called out with a shaky voice. "Sayid…anybody…is someone there?"
There was no response.
When Kate first saw Sayid approach them at the caves, she expected him to be with Shannon. He was always with Shannon, but Kate had noticed a difference…like the spark was gone. She hadn't talked to anyone else about it, though.
What she definitely wasn't expecting was for Sayid to appear without Shannon and, instead, a gorgeous brunette at his side. And she didn't expect Jack to go running over to them quite that fast. Kate joined them, along with the other survivors, but there was so much talking that she couldn't squeeze in even one question.
"How did…" Jack was asking.
"I'm from the tail," The brunette chimed.
"I found her, the rest are on the other side of the island…"
"What's going on?" Charlie asked. Claire stood near him, clutching Aaron tightly. Kate tried to follow the dialogue best as she could.
"Alright, listen up. This is Ana Lucia. She's from the tail of the plane, which is still in contact, over at the other end of the island. There are about 23 people with her. We need volunteers to go with me and Ana and bring the other people back to the camp before sun down." Sayid said calmly.
"I'll go," Jack said almost immediately. Kate watched him exchange a glance with this Ana Lucia-a glance that was the same as taking a knife to her heart. "I'll go, too," Kate offered.
"Well, if it isn't Mr. Jack. Didn't expect to see you here," Ana Lucia said, almost flirtatiously. What a whore, Kate thought. She regretted it the second she thought it. She couldn't judge this woman when she'd just met her…right? Jack looked over at Kate. "You sure you want to come?" He asked. Kate rolled her eyes, but, much to her surprise, couldn't think of a good comeback line…at least not in front of this lady. "Yeah. I'm sure." She whispered.
The trek up to where the tail was was a long one. Longer than Kate had anticipated, but she tried hard not to show it. Sayid and Ana, walking pretty far ahead of the group, were deep in conversation. Jack lingered behind with Kate, much to her relief. Behind them was Charlie, Locke, even Hurley had offered to come. "I didn't think it was gonna be this freaking long a walk…" He grumbled from the back.
"So…you know her?" Kate asked, gesturing towards Ana Lucia. Jack's face tightened slightly.
"Yeah…we talked in a bar before the flight," Jack replied. A joke will lighten him up, Kate thought.
"So, you're a hard-core spinal surgeon with tattoos who picks up brunettes at bars? Nice." Kate was wrong, he wasn't in the mood for a joke. His face tightened even more, and he studied the ground. Kate couldn't bring her eyes to meet his.
For Kate, it was going to be pretty damn hard to win Jack over."How do you know Jack?" Sayid interrogated. Ana Lucia smiled. Sayid loved her smile. It made his heart melt.
"Oh, we talked for a bit in a bar at the airport. No big thing," She reassured. Sayid was glad of it.
"What about this girlfriend of yours?" Ana asked, smiling cockily.
Sayid cleared his throat. "Oh. That's…nobody."
It's Pink Pinker answering the reviews:
Whirlwind-2005- Noooo. I hate Ana Lucia with a passion. You'll see what happens to her (Evil Laughter) Muhahaha.
Dominicslostlover- Shhh! Don't ruin the story for the other readers ;)
FanofLOST- That was, like, the longest review ever, which is totally awesome. Let's just say this about Ana Lucia: Hate is a very strong word...and when I say I hate Ana Lucia, it's the understatement of the year. I was talking about the story with Kate pregnant, and Charlie's back on his drugs. Ha, that's funny how you can't write about 2 ships, because I can't write about just one(unless it's a oneshot) or then I run out of idea's. It's weird. Joint writing is ALOT of fun, and I would LOVE to do one with you, only I'm SO behind on my two other fics, it's pathetic. Okay, shutting up now, because this was the worst paragraph ever, since nothing's connected to one another, but whatever.
