Chapter 6
It was now two weeks since Kate had been captured and she was looking frail and weak, she could barely open her eyes. She was no longer in the hut as she had been moved to a hatch. The last injection she had been given gave her really bad side effects! She had lost all hope of ever escaping and now accepted the fact that she was going to die, every day Ms.Klugh would come in take a blood test, give her an injection then would return a bit later on with some food, once a week Kate was allowed to take a walk but with a sack over her head.
Kate had skipped her walk today as she couldn't even sit up, let alone stand up. She spent most over her time sleeping as in her dreams were the only time she could see Jack, she was telling him to save her and every night he was one step closer to finding her. But they're only dreams, Kate thought to herself. She drifted off again and a smile came to her face as she knew she was going to see Jack.
"Jack!" Kate called, she was wearing a beautiful, white, flowing dress and her hair was covering her bare shoulders, "Jack!" Kate kept calling until she saw the handsome doctor standing in front of her, memorized.
"Kate, Where are you?" Jack asked, looking at Kate, longingly.
Kate tried to speak but it was as if there was a restraint in her voice box, stopping her from telling Jack where she was, she felt a force pulling her away from him but she pushed away from it and opened up the palm of her hand, there was a pearl in her hand she gave it to Jack, he looked at it, "Thanks" He said, but Kate didn't hear him.
Jack woke up and opened up the palm of his hand, this is crazy, He said to himself. He had been collecting everything that Kate had somehow given to him in his dreams and figuring out where she was by them, only problem was, by the time he figured out what the clue was and reached it without being eaten by the smoke monster which only seemed to be hungry for him, she and the others had moved on.
This time it was a pearl. Jack looked at the other things that Kate had given him: A stone foot which had led him to the gigantic statue of a four toed foot; A small black stone, which led him to the black rock, and now a pearl…pearl? I doubt she is inside a clan! Hmm maybe it's the shape of something like that foot? Maybe no, maybe a name of something like that black rock, what else has a name? Jack thought, and then it sprung to mind, a hatch! Like the swan…only it could be called the pearl! GENIUS! A smile came to Jacks face as he had thought of it so quickly, if I have got it right, he thought.
Jack stood up and shook the dirt from his pants, he looked up to the great ship in front of him and headed off to where he had seen Kate in his dream. I'm probably going crazy, said Jack in his head. He looked for footprints on the floor and found a set almost immediately, Jack started to wonder if they really were dreams or if Kate somehow managed to come to him at night. Either way, he knew he had to save Kate and he could only do that if he followed his dreams!
