CHAPTER 1
"Kate… I didn't mean it that way… Im sorry"
"No Jack I get the picture…You don't trust me. Who was it that told me that I could start over? YOU Jack."
"I know and I mean that I don't trust you-"
"Don't bother Jack. Im just a low criminal. Not worthy of your time… or trust."
Kate turned on her heel angrily and stormed off into the jungle.
"KATE!" yelled Jack desperately.
Damn He thought. What have I done?
KATE
Kate sat on a log thinking. She slowly wiped a tear from her eye and looked at the floor.
I thought Jack trusted me……Well I don't care. I don't need him she thought.
She stood up and looked around her. The jungle was quiet except for the low hum of the crickets, and the sound of the wind. It was so peaceful yet so mysterious.
Then it hit her. She was in the jungle-Alone.
What was she doing? Anything could be here. Plus she should be back at the beach by now. Dusting the dirt from her body she Picked the few bottles of water she had she stuffed them into her backpack and slung it over her shoulder. She walked but then started to run.. Faster and Faster.. She looked up and could make out the shape of something…or someone in front of her before she ran into it and with a loud thud fell to the floor.
Damn She thought. Slowly opening her eyes she moved her aching body to feel something move beneath her. She saw she had landed on somebody.
"Oh my god… sorry" she said as she moved onto the grass.
"Argh" said the person
" Can't you look where your going.?"
He supported himself with one arm and looked up Only then did Kate realise who it was. Dirty blond hair, Jeans…….Sawyer.
"Oh freckles, it's you. What you doin' out in the jungle?" He pushed himself into a sitting position and tried to get the off his body. Kate stared at him.
"Well? Do you have a decent excuse for knocking me over?" He grinned at her. Kate laughed.
"No not really" she said with a smile on her face. "I was just thinking when I thought I should be getting back to the beach. What are you doing out here anyway?"
"I was collecting a few things that's all" he said, trying to look as innocent as possible
"From your private stash I suppose" Said Kate
He smirked
"Maybe…." He said.
Kate rolled her eyes "Well Im heading back… You coming?"
He looked slightly surprised at her invitation but said
"err yeah ok"
Closing the suitcase behind him he got up and followed her through the trees.
"By the way…." she called out "Sorry for knocking you over"
"You just can't keep you hands off me can you?" he drawled from behind her.
"Sawyer….." she warned
He held his hands up in surrender and said: "hey… I'm just playing"
SAWYER
He was surprised. She wasn't completely blanking him or giving him death glares….yet.
She was actually being pretty nice. Though when she had landed on him he had been pretty damn annoyed but seeing it was her he couldn't resist playing with her.
She was a little bit ahead of him at the moment but glanced back every now and then to check he was still there. He wondered why she had been running so quickly to get back to the beach anyway.
"Probably couldn't wait to get back to her Doc" he said bitterly
"Did you say something?" she yelled over her shoulder,
"Nope" he replied silently grinning. If only she knew what he had said. She was still denying that she liked the doc, but sawyer knew better.
What did she see in him anyway? Probably the hero act he kept putting on. Maybe the fact that he was a doctor. One or the other. And he could see that Jack liked her too. He was always watching her. Helping her. Being with her.
He was thinking so deeply that he bumped into Kate in front of him.
"What the-"
"shhhhhhh" Kate said holding a hand over his mouth.
Then he heard it. Something was there……wailing. Crashes could be heard ahead of them.
"It might be the same thing that killed the pilot" Kate whispered quietly Sawyer looked at her in shock. If that thing killed the pilot, it could hill him too.
"What are we doing then?" He whispered angrily at her " Why are we standing here"
She just looked at him blankly.
"Dammit freckles!" he yelled and grabbed her hand . He started running in the opposite direction of the beach.. Away from it. Away from the monster He could hear Kate Panting behind him now running of her own accord.
"Come on!" He shouted behind him She sped up until they were running side by side. She looked Scared to death yet determined. Determined to get away. Her Brown Curls were whipping her face as she gasped for breath.
He thought he heard somebody yelling. He turned around but still couldn't see anbody so carried on running as fast as he could.
He jumped over a log in their way and so did she. They were running in unison now but he turned and couldn't see anything behind them. He slowed down and stopped Kate. They were both panting heavily and he could see that she was tired
"Is it gone?" she asked
"I think so" He replied "Where are we?"
"I have no idea" she said "we are probably miles from the beach. We were pretty far to begin with"
"Yeah" he said. He looked up to see the sky was getting darker., There was no way they would make it back to the beach before it was pitch black.
"I reckon we should stay here for the night." he suggested
"What? We are in more danger here than anywhere!"
"So what do you want to do? Travel back and become that things next meal!" He was getting angry now.
"Well staying here where it could get us any minute isn't a great idea either!"
" Freckles- You want to go? Then go. I however am staying here"
She glared at him for a moment then sighed and dumped her rucksack on the floor next to him.
He glared her once more and said
"That's what I thought"
"Shut up"
" oooohh getting a little bit testy aren't we? I saved your life angel"
"No you did not"
"Think back. Who was the one that told you to run while you were staring ahead like a fish"
She looked at him exasperated.
"Whatever. Are you gonna carry on arguing? Or do you want to get some sleep?"
Hmm hard one he thought
"Sleep"
She smiled slightly.
"Fine then how about one of us watches and another sleeps?"
"Sounds fair to me"
"ok then You get some sleep and ill keep watch"
"Who said you go first at watching?"
"Sawyer! Please"
"Fine. Just don't look at me. I can't sleep if your gonna watch me like vulture"
He lay down on the ground using his bag as a pillow.
"Damn how am I gonna get any sleep? This things hard as a rock!" He moaned
Kate rolled her eyes.
This is just my luck. He thought Stuck in a jungle. Monster, polar bears, ants, mosquitoes, no pillow………………. At least I get to be with freckles. Shame we argued we were actually getting along.
He could feel her watching him and he really wanted to snap at her for it. He normally would. But he was just too tired. Yeah that was it. Too tired.
He slowly closed his eyes………….
