Chapter Three: Terror. Something There Good At.

Sawyer grabbed Kate's arm and they tore through the Jungle, all six of them. Sayid and Jack leading the way. Sawyer kept Sun and Jin in the middle of them, and Kate beside him. He grasped her hand tightly as they ran. She glanced up at him in surprise and then ran faster. They heard Tom cry out orders and they heard rustling behind them.

Kate heard the noise before Sawyer, and felt the dart hit her back. She cried out sharply as it began to shock her.

"Kate!" Sawyer said, pulling the dart out and picking her up. She had fainted. He knew they had to hurry. He saw Sayid up ahead of him. He motioned for them to follow and he did. They ran, Sawyer realizing they were separated from Jack, Sun and Jin. He swore under his breath.

Jack looked behind him to see Sawyer, Kate and Sayid not there. He urged Jin and Sun forward, thinking they were behind them. He knew Sawyer would take care of Kate, he had no doubt, although he was extremely jealous, he knew that there was not point. He wasn't going to ruin the friendship he had with Kate, just because he wanted to be romantic with her, plus, he saw the way she looked at Sawyer, when the other man wasn't watching. He knew that she cared from him, more than a friend.

Jack would, however never forget that kiss, whether real or not, it was real to him. And it was a pleasant thing to remember on. However, he saw Sun collapse, an electro dart in her side. Jin, speaking Korean, was screaming as she convulsed. Jack picked her up and motioned for them to sprint forward, as far as they could go, he glanced back once more, but didnt' see Kate, Sawyer or Sayid, he hoped they were okay.

Sawyer and Sayid managed to climb down steep rocks, losing there pursuers. Panting heavily and practically freaking out about Kate, lying in his arms. Slowly, however, they climbed down and found a cave.

"We should rest here, and wait for her to wake up. It will exhaust you to carry her any further, and we can use this as shelter just in case they decide to follow us, which I fear is very likely."

"Yeah, great." Sawyer said rolling his eyes. He feared they would, they had enough people to split up, and pursue both. And since they were separated then they would be easier, right? "Sayid, you were in the army right? So what ya think there goin' to do? Do you think that know we split up?"

"That is very unlikely. All we have to worry about is them tracking us. However, I fear that they will be able to catch Jack's team, for he knows nothing about hiding."

"Hell neither do I." Sayd said. "I owe ya one." He added. Sayid shook his head,

"No need, I saw you and tried to rescue you, but ended up being caught, to be honest, I am the one who owe's you." Sawyer was about to respond when he felt Kate stir next to him.

"Whoa, easy there Freckles,." He said as she tried to sit up. She looked at him, then to Sayid.

"What happened?" She looked around. "Where are we?" She added.

"We were able to escape the Other's." Sayid said at first. "You were shot and Sawyer picked you up, I found him and we found this cave. We are resting before we decide what to do next."

"What about Jack, and Sun..and Jin?" Kate whispered. Sawyer shook his head.

"We got separated."

It was night before Jack stopped his group. They were all exhausted and Sun was now awake. They made a small fire and took restless turn's keeping watch. Jack watched the flames during his turn, he wondered if Sawyer and Kate were okay, and Sayid too. He the Other's found them? Or were they thinking the same thing about him?

He watched the gentle flickering of the flames, creating an ire glow on the trees. And, as he looked up, a figure coming out of the jungle. It was the black haired women. Alex, if he was correct. She as alone, and he stood up slowly, trying not to alert the others.

"What do you want?" he asked slowly. She took a step forward, revealing her face to him.

"The other's don't know I'm here. I escaped. I was a prisoner too. "

"How can I trust you?"

"I can't prove anything to you, but please, I never wanted to do any of the things I have done to you, like shooting you friend. Ever since I was a baby, I was held here. Now all I want is to find my mother, if she is still alive, and get out of here."

"You shot Sawyer?"

"I never meant to, but they threatened to kill me." She whispered.

"I don't trust you." Jack said. Making Alex looked sad . "But I'll let you stay. Tell me everything."

Sawyer made the fire and Kate and Sayid gartered what fruit they could find. After words, they quietly ate all thinking.

"I sure hope the good Doc' is okay." Sawyer said finally, but Sayid had turned his attention to the cave. He lit a "torch" and went deeper. Sawyer and Kate followed, going into the deepening darkness.

Here ya go, I'll try and update this Thursday or sooner.
