SAWYER
Sawyer sat very low, crouched among the bushes. He snarled as a branch swung in front of his face and he swatted it out of the way annoyed. His knees ached and his jeans covered in dirt and moist from the floor. He growled as he shuffled to left a bit, he had been kneeling on thorns.Lying so low and staying so hidden was beginning to get on his nerves.
What the...why are they taking so bloody long? He thought to himself.
He had sent off roughly an hour ago with Jack, Charlie, Michael and Locke. Jack, Michael and Locke were over the other side and doing a good job of staying hidden, he gave them that. Charlie was somewhere and Sawyer prayed to god he didn't do anything stupid like sneeze.
He seems like one of the fools in movies that give away the cover... Sawyer thought irritatedly.
Suddenly he heard rustling and he turned quickly, raising the gun just in case. He pushed one of the big green leaves in front of him out of the way and looked to the clearing where he saw them. Four men were struggling their way through the jungle, tramping over the bushes angrily. There was a clear leader out the front with a woman tagging along begrudgingly behind him. He saw him spin and snarl at her and she recoiled as if hurt. Sawyer squinted and looked at the other three men. Two were skinny and wearing black. Sawyer grinned,
Even Jackass and Michael could take them two. The leader looks a bit hardcore though. The other man was slightly bigger and looked like he was carrying a sack or something.
What's that? Sawyer thought. A bag...blanket...wait a minute...
His heart stopped as he looked and over the mans shoulder was...Kate. Her dark curls were covering her face but he could see a slow trickle of blood making it's way down her face. She was unconscious but to his relief, still breathing. Her clothes were slightly ripped and he could see red marks on her arms where she had obviously been grabbed.
"Freckles..." He whispered to himself in shock as he watched the man carry her as if she was a toy carelessly slung over his shoulder.
I knew that she would slightly hurt, but not bleeding, not unconscious, not hit. Sawyer felt the anger growing inside of him slowly and he resisted the urge to run out and get her, right there.
She lay limp over the man's shoulder and Sawyer swore that he heard her sob slightly in her sleep.
He listened to what they were saying, moving slightly closer through the undergrowth, being as careful as he possibly could.
"Where the hell is it?" the leader snarled as he made his was into the clearing, treadig over the thorns, looking furious. Sawyer turned to where Claire was, waiting for her cue. She walked slowly towards them, Aaron screaming in her arms. She sobbed carrying him towards them, slowly whispering:
"Shhhh b-aby It's okkay" barely able to speak.
Whoa she's great, Sawyer thought silently.
The leader walked towards her suspiciously.
"Are you alone?" He hissed.
"Y-yes" Claire whispered wiping her eyes and clutching Aaron towards her She looked so torn, so upset that even Sawyer was unsure whether she was really upset or not.
The leader'seyes darted around the clearing, searching and Sawyer lay as still as he could, while a fly buzzed near him. Sawyer wanted nothing more than to swat it away but still layed still, for Kate's sake.The leader nodded, confirming Claire's words.
"Right, that's good."
"B-ye baby. I'll love you-" Claire sobbed, rocking him in her arms and the leader sighed impatiently before nudging the girl behind him forwards. She stumbled a little and looked at him, questioning him but he yelled at her:
"Sara! For god's sake! Take the child you stupid bitch!"
Sara nodded and walked towards Claire sorrowfully and avoided her eyes as she reached forwards.
"Please take care-" Claire stuttered and Sara nodded reassuringly.
Claire kissed Aaron's forehead and-
"NOW!" Sawyer heard Jack yell.
Sawyer stood up and ran (even though he could barely feel his legs) into the clearing, doing his best not to trip over the snaking vines on the floor, almost trying to pull him into their trap. Jack ran in and leapt, knocking down the leader who yowled in surprise and Jack pinned him to the floor while he struggled, snarling. Michael and Locke ran in, holding their guns out at the others, warning them and making sure they didn't move anywhere. Michael's hands were shaking slightly, probably with anxiety but at least he was doing something. Sawyer stepped cautiously towards the bigger man and said threateningly yet simply:
"Hand her over, NOW" He got out his gun and pointed it at him, not hesitating to show the man that, the safety was not on.
The man held Kate closer to his shoulder and looked over at the leader who shouted out loudly:
"Friggin'- KNEW IT! Knew we shouldn't trust any of them" He snarled, and angrily struggled against Jack who held him firmly down.
"Shut up" Jack said Woooo looks like Doc does have a bit of a edge
Sara stood warily behind them kind of confused at what was going on. She glanced around in a daze but looked sharply at the leader when he said:
"Stupid bitch! do something!" the leader yelled at her. But she looked at him, remembering all the years of harm he had done to her and shook her head, blinking tears away.
"I can't and won't" she said looking away shaking slightly.
Charlie was holding Claire to him closely and Sawyer nodded at him. He slowly lead her off, out of the clearing with Aaron in her arms. She looked back once and Sawyer smiled appreciatively. Sara followed behind them almost in zombie mode.
Sawyer turned his attention backto the man and hissed at him,
"Didn't you hear me? No don't look at him-" he said as the man looked at the leader again. "He can't help you now."
The man looked uncertainly and glanced at his friends who had their arms up in surrender. Locke and Michael were doing a good job of keeping them under control, observing their every move.
Sawyerdug the gun into to the man's chest and said slowly, with his eyes glaring,
"You have five seconds...that's all. If you don't hand her over, we'll shoot you and get her anyway." When he said that, he said it so forcefully that nobody doubted that he would do what he had to do.
Slowly, the man lowered Kate to the floor and straightened up, hands in the air. He looked at the leader apologetically who groaned and looked away, almost unable to watch them being defeated.
Kate lay there on the moist earth, breathing deeply, her chest slowly raising and falling. Her curls obscured her face slightly but her freckles were still visible in the light. Sawyer tucked his gun into his pants and leaned down. He brushed her curls off her face and looked down on her, smiling.
He wiped the trickle of blood from her head (which was coming from a pretty nasty head wound) with his hands, warm and afriad to touch her. He got shivers down his spine at the touch of her warm skin. She stirred slightly and mumbled something unrecognisable just before he picked her up. He held her in his arms and he could feel her warm breath on his chest. She felt so right in his arms he didn't ever want to let her go.
Jack looked at him then looked away, pained. Luckily nobody had noticed the look in Sawyer's eyes, the way he had looked ather.They had been too busy with the current situation. Michael and Locke looking at the others, and Claire and Charlie gone. But Jack had seen, seen the look he gave Kate.
The look of...Love
"Right" Sawyer said snapping everyone's attention on him.
"Glad that's over, now what?" he said smirking slightly while the leader whispered bitterly;
"Bastard.."
Jack looked back to Sawyer and said:
"Right, well you head back to camp and-" he was interrupted with the loud bangs and crashes heard in the distance. Everyone turned fearfully, for they all knew what it was. Even the leader looked in fear as he turned back to Jack and yelled,
"Get the hell off me! We have to get out of here" he struggled but Jack pinned him down.
"Sawyer!" Jack yelled at him and Sawyer turned to him unsure of what to do. Kate mumbled again and snuggled into Sawyer's chest. He looked at Jack awkwardly who had also noticed this.
"Get Kate away okay?" Jack pleaded, looking away.
Sawyer looked at him shocked. "What are you going to do-? You can't just-?" The crashes got louder, moving closer all the time and Jack looked him in the eyes.
"Please." he said pleadingly, looking up at Sawyer.
Sawyer nodded and understood what he must do, he turned away from the path to the camp. The monster was heard down there,
I hope Charlie and Claire made it back... he thought and with Kate in his arms, he started to run.
