ANYWAY

I own my storyline and not much else. I now own a bubble machine!

SAWYER

He had ran, faster than ever, dodging vines, trees, bushes,just to get them out of there. Get Kate safe. She had been surprisingly light as he ran, almost in slow-motion, her breath warm on his chest as she leaned into him muttering every now and then. He raced as fast as he could from the monster or whatever it was.He had heard it, come crashing behind them destroying all as it went, but he had carried on. Ran for what seemed an eternity until he was sure that it was no longer behind them. He waited, panting, and standing, listening for any noise. He relaxed and knelt, cradling her.

KATE

She groaned slightly as the bright light shone down on her, willing her to open her eyes. Yet she resisted, keeping them clamped together stubbornly. Her head felt like lead and was thumping painfully. She leaned slightly into what she thought was the wall and with every move she made, her head thumped again.

Great...Another day stuck on this hell-hole. I can't even remember what happened. The last thing is being held my that man and then...darkness she thought. How much longer till i get released. Will I be released?

She felt warmer than before though...comforted and at peace.

Well I'm sure it won't be like this for much longer...better make the most of it, before that mad comes

She snuggled into whatever it was that she was on and breathed deeply. Inhaling the intoxicating smell of...Cologne? Confused, she breathed again and there it was...cologne. Either her mind was playing tricks on her, or her cell had definitley changed. She was almost afraid to open her eyes, to see what had happened now. Everything had just been so confusing lately and she had to admit she was wondering what would happen now. But she smelled it again...

What on earth? she thought suddenly.

She opened her eyes groggily to see to her surprise, her head was on Sawyers chest and he was holding her, as he leaned up against what looked like a very uncomfortable tree. His eyes were closed and he was breathing deeply, smiling as his arms pulled her closer in his sleep. His chest rose and fell in time with hers and she wondered why on earth she hadn't noticed before that it wasn't a wall that she was leaning against. His black shirt was unbuttoned at the top and he was wearing a necklace she never boticed before. A shark's tooth on string. His hair was covering his eyes slightly shining in the sun.

What happened? Where am I? Sawyer? she thought, shocked. Her eyes scanned around the area quickly to see she was in the jungle, the light streaming through the trees upon them, like light from heaven. The birds chirpled happily around them and she sat, in a daze gazing at Sawyer, in pure shock. She felt a bit funny and butterflies fluttered in her stomach as she gazed at him.

I'm just hungry, that's ALL she told herself firmly.

"mmmmm" Sawyer grumbled smiling tightening his grip. He was definitely still asleep but he seemed to be having a good dream. He looked adorable but still dangerous and Kate gazed at him for a bit, wondering what exactly he was dreaming about.

"Ohhhhh" he said, grinning in his sleep. I should have known... her mind groaned but she couldn't stop the smirk that escaped her lips.

Suddenly Sawyer mumbled and moved a little. Oh my god...what am I going to say? do? her mind raced as she looked down on him, his eyelashes fluttered open and he looked at her.

SAWYER

He was actually having a pleasant dream for once...a VERY pleasant dream. He grinned in his sleep and moved slightly when he felt something on top of him. He frowned...what was that? He slowly opened his eyes and saw Kate awake, looking at him...in his lap. She looked rather bewildered and he had to admit he was feeling a bit confused himself. Where on earth did she come from? he scrunched his face up trying to remember.

"Freckles?" He asked confused and sleepily.

"What the?-" he began but then he remembered "Oh...yeah" and she looked at him confused. She still didn't have a clue what was going on, but at least Sawyer did.

They gazed at each other for a bit as if trying to work out what the other was thinking and suddenly Sawyer snapped out of it and he decided to say something to break the tension. To get him back to his old self.

"Hmmm this feels good." he said laughing with his arms still around her. She went slightly pink and attempted to struggle free angrily but he only tightened his grip and pulled her towards him. She dug her nails into his arms which he had to admit hurt but he still held fast, wincing slightly in pain.

She's not getting away that quickly. It DOES feel good

"Sawyer!" she said frustrated, but he just grinned smugly. She gave up and sighed, leaning back into him. Man this feels good he thought and groaned inwardly at himself.

She was warm and her pulse had quickened as this time she was slightly more uncomfortable in his arms. Sure it felt good but it wasn't MEANT to be. Her curls tickled his nose and he laughed blowing them out his mouth.

It was meant to be playful, he wasn't supposed to have feelings. Damn... he thought.

KATE

She laughed as he blew her curls out of his face and rested his head on her shoulder so he could kind of see her. She shifted uncomfortably, she didn't like being this unvunerable, this close to him and what scared her most is that she liked it. When she wasn't meant to, she shouldn't feel like this. They were both breathing heavily now and they both knew what the other was feeling, but both too shy to address the situation. Sawyer leaned in more and breathed hotly in her ear.

"That's better" he whispered. She got shivers down her spine and it was hard not to turn around and kiss him, but she resisted and stared straight ahead like nothing was wrong.

"Sawyer, what happened? why am I here?" she said after swallowing and talking a deep breath. Sawyer shifted uncomfortably. He had wondered when she was going to ask.

"Well..." he began. "Jackass came back all bloodied up to camp-"

Kate gasped and turned around.

"Is he okay?" she asked concerned, and Sawyer was silent for a while, upset at her sudden outburst. Did she really care that much?

"uh...yeah" he said looking away. Kate seemed to sense his sudden uneasiness and went back to the topic.

"So carry on" she said and he rested his head back on her shoulder and carried on telling the story.

"Anyway, he had this note saying what happened to you and we decided to get you back. Claire pretended to be handing over Aaron and then we ambushed the people that took you. We used the guns from the case to protect ourselves and Charlie took Claire and that other girl back to camp. I think her name was...Sara or something.You were unconsious and then when we had the situation under control, the monster came. So I picked you up and well...thats how we are here now"

She was silent for a while. He had gone through all that trouble for me? Why? she pondered.

"Who...who else was with you?" she asked, trying to sound offhand but Sawyer knew what she was going on about.

He felt hurt but didn't know why. Why should HE care that she was worried about Jack? He sighed and felt more miserable than ever. He should have known she would have wanted to see the doc more than anybody else.

"I don't know what happened to Jack if that's what your asking" he said huffily and frowning slightly.

He let go of her and pushed her slightly off his lap. He got up and stretched walking over to the few supplies they had, kneeling so she couldn't see the hurt in his face.

She winced slightly as she knew exactly what she had done and she knew he was hurt.

"Uh...Sawyer?" she asked cautiously.

"Yeah?" he muttered from where he was, not looking at her.

"Thanks"
