Chapter 3

Jack had been running for about fifteen minutes and he still hasn't found Kate and he was getting deeper and deeper into the jungle.

A few minutes later he heard footsteps behind and he quickly grabbed a spear (Long green sharp stick) that Jack had made a couple of days ago and hid behind a tree. "Who's there?" Jack asked raising the home-made spear.

"It's only us," Sawyer and Locke answered coming from around the corner.

"What are you doing here?" Jack asked giving Sawyer a dirty look and Sawyer returning it.

"To help you look for Kate," Locke answered. "Come on we better get a move on."

Fifteen minutes later they heard a gunshot, Jack hoped it wasn't aimed at Kate. He started sprinting through the Jungle towards where he heard the gunshot, Locke and Sawyer following closely behind. They ran until they got to a clearing and saw a big bonfire the sort of things you see on bonfire night apart from there was one difference between the two, there was a large log tied down to the ground and going about two foot above the fire and Kate tied to the standing bit of the wood. "Omg," Jack replied with his mouth till open even after he finished speaking. Then a strange man came walking over to them.

"Give me the spear and she comes down, don't give spear she dies, as simple as that. Jack it's your choice I know she loves you it's all up to you,the names Rousseau," Rousseau ordered. Jack looked from Kate to the spear to Rousseau there was no thinking of what his choice was. "Fine,here (handing the spear to Rousseau) this isn't over Rousseau not by a mile off," Jack warned. Rousseau winked at Jack at shouted to someone behind the bonfire to lower the big piece of log and Kate fell to the floor. Rousseau picked up Kate roughly and pushed her towards Jack. Without any warning he chucked the spear right into Kate's back. Kate fell towards Jack, Jack catched Kate before she hit the floor. "Help me Jack,"Kate muttered before going unconscious. Locke came up behind Kate and pulled the spear out of Kate's back. It was a good job Kate was unconscious because she would be unconscious after that. Jack picked up Kate and started walking towards the jungle without saying anything. Squeezing Kate's hand like he did before telling she's going to be alright and he will help her.

Half an hour later Jack got to the hatch, like before he laid Kate on the bed but this time on her belly so he could work on her cut. He walked over to where Michael was standing. "Hi,Mike can you look after Kate for me while I go and get the medicine,(Michael nodded)thanks," Jack asked as he walked out of the hatch. When he got to the caves everyone was asking him how Kate was, obviously word had gotten out about what happened to Kate in the clearing.

Back at the hatch Michael was sitting next to Kate when Sawyer walked in. "Hey Michael I'll sit with her now you get back to work," Sawyer said.

"Sure, thanks,"Michael agreed and went back to the timer which was beeping. Sawyer smiled at Michael and walked over to Kate he started to life Kate's top up supposedly looking at Kate's wound.

"OI, GET OFF HER!"Jack shouted running over to Kate, pushing Sawyer away and pulling Kate's top back down which was right up by her neck by this point and stood next to Kate protecting her. "What were you doing?"Jack asked.

"I was looking at Kate's wound," Sawyer lied innocently.

"No, you wern't, Kate's top was way past her wound. You were touching her bra. You sick sick maniac," Jack said angrily. "Just go Sawyer,if I catch you touching her or talking to her I'll kill you, don't you think I don't know what you did,"Jack said almost yelling.

"This isn't over Jack, I will get her back we will be a couple again," Sawyer said gritting his teeth.

"You were never a couple you just got obsessed with Kate and figured that just because she talked to you, you were a couple," Jack muttered as Sawyer walked out of the room.

"It's alright Kate he won't touch you again," Jack whispered and fell asleep.

"Jack why does everything bad happen to me?" Kate asked as soon as Jack woke up.

"I don't know but no-one's going to hurt you again I won't let them," Jack said seriously.

"Stay with me Jack, don't leave," Kate said pleadingly. Jack just nodded and sat next to Kate on the bed and hugged her.
