I do not own, lost but i sure wish I owned Sawyer ;)

CHAPTER 2!

KATE

He looks so different when hes asleep. So peaceful. She smiled What am I thinking. Hes just the same arrogant, asshole he normally is… She told herself mentally. We have been getting along better than normal though. Still the quicker we get out of here the better.

She glanced at sawyer warily. His hair was covering his face a little and his breathing was deep.

Suddenly he moaned. Kate moved next to him. It was nearly his turn to keep watch. Her watch said 5 minutes..

"Ugh……….. I didn't mean to" He moaned quietly.
"Dad…. Don't kill her. Don't kill mum she- she………….." He turned a little while Kate watched him.

What am I doing? I shouldn't be listening to this, It's private. I shouldn't feel sorry for him at all. Kate pondered this to herself.
But he looks so….alone Maybe this is why he told me not to go near him while he was asleep.

"Freckles…………. I swear-I. Tell them. Tell them it was"

What!

Kate looked at him in shock. There was no mistaking it. He was still asleep. So why was he dreaming of her? Without realising what she was doing she ran a hand through his hair and said:

"shhh now just a dream"
He smiled a little bit and stopped moaning.

"heh he looks so cute" she said.

She realised her hand was still running through his hair.
She quickly withdrew her hand and mentally cursed herself for being so stupid Ugh WHAT AM I DOING? she said to herself. Wake him up! Its his turn to watch. Its only fair. So what if he's having a nightmare? don't feel sorry for him. Think of all the times he's teased you, annoyed you………..

She leaned over him and shook him slightly "Ughhh" he said "Sawyer…It's your turn now."

SAWYER

"Sawyer…" he could hear someone calling him He opened his eyes slightly and groaned. Freckles was standing right over him, Her hair tickling his nose.

"Its your turn now" she said somewhat uncertainly.

"err, Ok then" He said rubbing his eyes. He felt as if he had been asleep for 5 minutes

Another nightmare. he thought When was the last time I slept normally? He glanced over at Kate. She was laying down with her eyes closed.
Wonder if she knew I was having a nightmare? I can't even remember what it was about. Just like the thousands of others I suppose.

He ran a hand through his hair. He felt warm… comforted.

Funny…. he thought. Kate looked as though she was having a bad dream too. He debated whether to wake her up. He decided not too. He didn't know why. He watched her………..

KATE Dream

Blood, everywhere. Blood. She was covered in blood.
What have I done?
Flash The marshal pointing a gun to her back Flash "Did you kill him"
Flash Murderer…
Flash "Did You"
Kate yelled. just leave me alone. "You can't escape me"
Flash The marshal again. Leering at her.
"Murderer"
"I DIDN'T KILL HIM!" kate yelled as she woke up

SAWYER

Sawyer looked over at kate every now and again with a cigarette casually in his mouth. She had calmed down a lot. He had debated again whether to wake her up but he decided against the idea as he figured that if he did, then she wouldn't get any sleep again for hours. He could see she was murmuring something. Suddenly she sat up and yelled:

" I DIDN'T KILL HIM!" gasping she looked around her

"whoa take it easy freckles….bad dream?" he said trying to keep as calm as possible.

She looked up at him scared

"ummm………….yeah, something like that"
She was shaking so he scooted up next to her.

"hey, don't worry, they don't mean anything. And if its any consolation, I have them all the time"
She looked up at him. She looked slightly guilty.

"yeah…thanks" she said gratefully.
Damn, what do I do? I 'ain't no comforter.

" Sawyer…..?" kate said

"yeah"

"Do you want some water? I've got some in my bag"
He smiled a half smile.

"yeah thanks freckles"
She reached into her bag and rustled round with it for a few minutes, breaking the tension between them.
She handed it over to him and he took a sip, then broke off chuckling She looked at him curiously.

"what's so funny?"

"I just remembered………..I have something better than water"
He reached into his bag and with a mischievous look n his face; pulled out a bottle of vodka.

"Sawyer!" Kate exclaimed. She couldn't help laugh though. Just the look on his face was enough. Trust him to bring that.

"Save it" she said

"ok" he said with a smile that probably had broken a 1000 hearts.

"You wanna go back to sleep? Coz I don't mind now that I'm awake" he offered

She looked up at him surprised. He felt a little bit uncomfortable seeing her staring at him like that. Any other girl and he might wink, wave or give a seductive smile. But with kate he felt a bit different.
She snapped out of staring and said

"How about we both sleep? It's fairer and we haven't heard anything in a while. Not too mention the fact that you look exhausted"

She burst out laughing at his horrified face "Do I really look that bad?" he said worriedly

"I was joking"

"heh.I knew that" he said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"yeah we can both sleep I don't mind" and with that. They both lay down side by side.

It was silent for what seemed eternity apart from Kate's slow breathing.
He wondered how long it had been since he just lay down with a girl, without doing anything.
Kate turned and he could feel her warm breath on his neck and it sent a shiver down his spine. There was no way he would be able to get to sleep now…….
