Chapter 14.
this is gonna be one long chapter...
It was the middle of the night,at least that's what sawyer thought, in a shack without windows it was always dark...
Sawyer's eyes were wide open staring at the oil lamp in the middle of the wooden floor.Through it he could see kate, her eyes closed which was nothing new and jack...jack leaning against a wooden wall, his head drooping as he snored.
Unbelivable as it was sawyer smiled. doc...snoring...does'nt seem to fit the picture...
Sawyer could'nt sleep from jack's snoring it was impossible and also a guilty conscience.Once ethan came back he would tell him all the information he had recieved from jack. It had taken forever that sawyer's eyes were hooded, his head pained for he had used all his methods of decieving, lieing, teasing,and hoodwinking jack to speak...but finally he had.He had gotten all the answers.
It was the only way, jack was deseperate and so were his plans.They would never work,they were impossible but jack had'nt given up on hope fiercly convincing him when sawyer expressed his doubts.
he's lost it sawyer thought, i mean really...slam the guard out when he comes in to give kate her shot, hold him captive and leave! is he crazy! we don't know how many others there are! and ethan would'nt care a damn about a hostage, or if we shot the man dead as long as he kept his prisnors...but jack did'nt understand that because jack was a too good person and thought everyone was like him,helping others even if they are the most evilest people..
Sawyer snarled as a picture of ethan entered his mind.he would kill him,once kate and jack were out safetly, he would kill him..
But for now sawyer would go along, if his...friends..would be safe...Sawyer ran the sentence through his mind in suprise. Friends? had he really said that? he had never had a friend before...but sawyer supposed he had gotten used to them...
Light footsteps walked towards the shack, in the still silence sawyer could hear them, he would probably be able to hear a pin drop.His feverish glance stole to jack who was still asleep.Sawyer bolted upright and watched the door untill it finally opened.Just a creak so yuo could just see a vivid blue eye stare at you.It was a bit unnerving...
"who the hell are you?" sawyer hissed angerily.
The door opened wider and a smirking ethan appeared.
"hello again, i assume you found out the i nformation?" ethan questioned.
"i did"
"will you give it to me without force?"
"i will"
"good then come along now..." ethan stole out the door and sawyer made to follow him but his movements were so slurry from the added pounds tied around his wrist and legs.Ethan turned around when he relized sawyer was not behind him,saw the problem immediatly and exclaimed in a soft whisper for jack was still sleeping,huddled in his corner.
"well that won't do! let me get those off..." ethan walked over and drew out a shining key.Sawyer winced expecting to be struck a heavy blow for even a geniune smile from ethan seemed crazily wild.It did'nt happen though.Ethan took off the shackles from his arms and wrists and then bent down to work on his feet.Sawyer stretched his arms that seemed as light as a feather, trying to get the blood circling...he looked down at ethan who was so precopied with the shackles that he did'nt see sawyer's fury..
What would i give, sawyer thought, to strike him down right now, to hurt him to kill him as he hurt us...i could do it...he does'nt even notice...
But brain took over brawn and sawyer mastered the impulse standing tense and still.His eyes blank his face un emotional.
"there,"ethan said finally and stood up with a little smirk."now follow me"
Sawyer did his hands clenched all the way.He did'nt give a backward glance behind him but if he had he would have seen jack his eyes squinted but open.Darkned with anger and betrayal...
"sawyer...how dare you"
When the door closed behind sawyer jack stood up glaring at it. He had been awake the whole time and had seen everything.
i knew it. jack fumed.i knew he was up to no good...i'm glad i did'nt tell him everything...
Jack had,felt suspicious ever since sawyer started questioning him about the hatch and the weapon storage, the wounds from the gun healed and gone...Jack had'nt said anything hoping against hope he was wrong that the only reason he was a accusing sawyer was because he loved kate...but jack sighed, i was right.
Feeling kind of guilty for not telling sawyer the real plan had been bothering him all night, that morning jack thought he would apologize to sawyer and tell him everything...
but now...
"now i'm going to kill him but first i got to escape" jack whispered.
A hour later of pacing around the room what jack wanted finally happened.The guard came in.His eyes dull and tired in his hand was the injection he had to give kate.
Jack grabbed the man around the throat for the behind.No matter how much the man turned and struggled jack would'nt let go and finally the guard sighed and fell unconscious his face purple.Jack grabbed the injection with the antidote and put it in his pocket.he would need more of it,it was not enough to heal kate...
Jack stripped the man of everything but his underwear and put on the---thing.
IT was nothing more then rags made of brown and green that blended well with the camoflage but since every other was wearing it, he would to.
He grabbed the keys around the man's waist and unchained himself.
He did'nt no why he had'nt done this sooner but then maybe he did jack had worried about kate.about her getting shot but with sawyer doing who knows what it was his last chance to escape.Maybe it was only 1 in a hundred but he had that 1 chance and he had been lucky so far had'nt he?
Surviving the plane crash...maybe this would be a lucky ending to ...jack hoped so..
Jack grabbed kate and swung her on his shoulders.He was suprised at how light she was...but at least it would be easier.
Jack heaved his shoulders and cautiously peered his head around the door.No one was there.
"perfect" jack whispered and walked out into the darkness.
For a minute jack stood still enjoying the night air that washed against his face, fresh and clean.The starry sky hung above him and jack had never appreciated it more
"does'nt it feel good kate?" jack mummered.The fresh air...i bet you can feel it..."
Jack glanced back at kate who remained motionless, and sighed.
Jack started to walk, in any particular direction, hoping to find the exit.The air was'nt inviting anymore.It was cool and fierce blowing hard, whipping back kate's hair and making him squint.His bare legs and arms started to feel the chill and he started to shiver..but he was'nt really thinking that much about himself for more of kate.Every time a wooden plank beneath his feet creaked, he winced but no one stopped him,no one was there.
Sweat poured down jack's neck.This was easy...to easy...he cranked his neck from side to side fearing an ambush. Where was everyone?
"damn" jack swore.He had to get out of here, while he had the chance, had to reach level ground but where was the damn ladder. jack could'nt remember.
Strange...jack said a few minutes...everything seems brighter...and then when he turned the corner of anthor tree,vined passage, he gasped. Jack closed his eyes and ducked behind the corner his heart beat moving furiously fast.
Jack turned around once more and peered at the scene in front of him. Many,many oil lamps flickered in the darkness creating the mass of light jack had seen.Circling it were the others-- there was about hundred of them...and they were staring in one direction, at one face, a face that jack knew so well.
"sawyer" jack whispered with vemin.
Sawyer stood in the center of the light his face blank and emotionless.A man stood beside him a hand placed on sawyer's shoulder.Ethan.Jack squinted and looked at sawyer's face.Barely tracable or recongnizable for a minute jack thought he had seen a look of disgust,remorse and fear in sawyer's eyes but then it was gone as though it had only been jack's imagination.
probaby was...jack thought and tried to concentrate on the words ethan were speaking.
"strike tommorow night and head for the camp.today get your weapons ready your tools shined...tommorow when you capture them do not hurt them! i repeat DO NOT HURT THEM! before some of you...could not contain yourselves...there has been accidents, but we need them for our experiments."
Sawyer thrust a startled glance at ethan and then covered it.
Ethan clasped a hand on sawyer's shoulder in a cheerful manner.
"this man besides me, sawyer, member in the plan crash has betrayed them,and will help our plan succedeed if we had given him...a few promises.He's told us the location of there camp,the storage of there weapons and now after this he will lure the search parties here."
THAT ASS! jack thought. He had to stop them, he had to.He had to warn the camp members...he had to leave...
Jack backed up and turned around now frantically searching for the ladder. A bit of luck shined on him that moment for through the light of the oil lamps he saw it. A small smile crept on his face and he was about to run towards it when a man clasped his hand on his shoulder.
Without thinking Jack turned around and head-butted the person.The other fell to the floor and jack stood breathing heavily blood on his brow.Dashing towards the ladder jack went down,kate first as fast as possible.Twice he striked his wrist on a branch and cut his fingers from the tree but he did'nt care if only he would reach the ground.
Finally he did.With out a backward glance.Jack picked up kate and ran.Ran desperatly,in any direction.Not caring as long as he could leave and be away from them...
Rain poured down.
"just my luck" jack muttered and pushed his soping black hair from his face.He had to find shelter, he needed shelter.Jack drew kate closer to his chest trying to keep her warm, but she would'nt last long in this weather and neither would he.One thing he could be grateful for however was that the rain would wash away his tracks...Thunder flashed in the sky illuminating the trees around him making jack come back into action.
Jack ran and ran.Every tree was too thin to stay under, and to dangerous to hide in.The rocks to small,the streams overfilling.Jack skidded to a stop.
This place...it seems familair...jack thought, i know this place...this is this is...jack grinned wearily practically in hysteria, this was how it all started...in the caves...they should be right about here...
Jack ran and sure enough there was the lone cave where jack,kate and sawyer had spent the night.
it's the beginnig again...jack thought feeling light-headed and crazy.
He ran into the cave and desposited kate on the ground.
it seemed so long ago...but i was only a few days..., jack thought slowly.Slowly his eyes adjusted to the darkness and saw the withered signs of there being here. The ash, burnt twigs, scattered remains of shirt and some of jack's blood.When lighting flashed practically in the cave jack pulled kate into the corner.She was shivering and he had nothing to give her...
wait a minute! jack rushed his hand into the fithly rag pocket and drew out the needle. It was her antidote but kate would need at least a cup full of it...it was'nt enough
"a-hell" jack yelled in frustration.Kate shook beside him and he immdiatly lowered his voice.Jack wrapped a hand around her shaking shoulder and let her lean against him.
don't worry kate...i'll proctect you and fix you...
What would he give if she would wake again and talk to him.To hear her voice, her smile, everything about her seemed to brighten the room but now,barely alive jack was filled with desperationess.Everything was going wrong!
The others were going to capture the flight-kmates,sawyer was luring the others in his trap, kate was near death, they will be bloody experimenting on us! and we won't stand a chance! and this whole blood mess will take place tommorow night and know one but me and sawyer will know!
Sawyer...how he could blame sawyer, if only he was there whatever kate said jack felt ready to throttle him.
Jack did'nt think he'd fall asleep with a loaded brain but he did and when he awoke it was morning.The dim light cast shadows under his eyes and jack bearily woke.His mind was fuzzy and sleepy.He glanced around him and saw kate.
His heart gave a pleasant buzz,still filled with sleep, she was leaning against his shoulder sleeping.
No--wait...,jack thought as his brain started to work again and then everything came back...
"no" jack moaned.
For a minute he closed his eyes and pretended nothing was wrong...
everything was going fine and the others had disappeared...sawyer was bothering everyone as usual...it was a cruise and not a plane crash...everyone was having fun...jack did'nt have any worries or stress...he and kate had decided to go for a midnight cruise and stayed in cave not far from camp.Jack said all the right things and kate stared back at him with adoring eyes whispering " i love you..."
They had'nt wanted to go back so they decided to spend the night...sharing kisses and secrets..
How easy it would be for jack to slip into fantisties but he shook himself firmly and made himself come back to relatity.
"alrihgty then" jack said aloud." i can do this. i'm a doctor. i fix things and this problem i will fix to."
Jack picked up kate and walked into the clearing and froze.Kate dropped from his arms and onto the floor as a roar or anger erupted in jack's throat.In front of him,staring at him as frozen as jack was,was sawyer.
He was soping wet buthis eyes were gleaming.
"you"jack said menacinly.
"jack"sawyer whispered.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"
alrighty finished the chapter...umm tell me what you think...next chapter is about jack and sawyer's fight and kate wakes up ( finally) through viloence and action with kate around,alive and healthy you know romance will creep up in the next chapter...
ps. right i'll be starting a new story soon,i'm writing the first chapter...if any of you want to read it. It will be light and comedy with lots of romance so if your that kind of person that's the story for. There will be embarrsing conclusions, but nothing dark as usual centered around sawyer,jack and kate oh and as usual i'm not telling you who's ending up together but i promise that if jack-kate end up together in love and angsty or sawyer-kate end up together that my new story will be the opposite pair.(yeesh that sounds confusing hope you understand) i'll put more info in the later chapters but it's NOT on fanfcition yet so don't look for it if your planning to read it.
