Jack met up with Kate two minutes later. She was waiting in the jungle, a bit in, as she didn't want to see Ana Lucia, or Sawyer, after that morning. Not like I blame her. I didn't want to see them myself!

'Well?' Kate asked as he slipped him arm around her and guided her back to the hatch. After Locke had left, Jack had found that there was no point in trying to hide the fact that Locke wanted to spilt the camp from Kate. She would've found out anyways. Plus Jack needed someone to back him up, and who better than Kate.

'They'll come.'

Ana Lucia and Sawyer had remained where they were for a while. The mood there were in before was all gone now; neither of them cared about the vodka now, which was in Ana Lucia's hands. She snapped out of her thoughts, having seen Jack walk off, and turned to fact Sawyer.

'You know what that was about Cowboy?'

'Yeah he's throwin' a party.' Sawyer started off sarcastically. 'How the hell am I supposed to know Chica?'

Ana Lucia threw him a dirty look, walking into her tent to replace the vodka from where it had came from, and where it rightly belonged. When she came out again, Sawyer was waiting for her, looking almost curious.

'You wanna go, don't ya?' Ana Lucia said, stating the obvious.

'Don't you?' Sawyer snapped back. When she simply shrugged, Sawyer had had enough with her stubbornness

'Hell 'no'! Of course you do! Curiosity will always win! And if Jackass was bothered enough to come here then I think going there will be very interestin', don't ya?'

What Sawyer was saying made sense. For once! If Jack was willing to come here, after what Ana Lucia had done, then going to the hatch must be important. Even if she's there.

Without saying a word, or motioning to him, Ana Lucia walked off into the jungle. Sawyer was surprised by this, and quickly ran after her.

'Next time you might wanna tell me when you're goin' sweetheart.' Sawyer said, a bit annoyed that she had left without even glancing at him.

'Why would I do that for?' Ana Lucia spat out, not turning to face him, her voice now cold. Sawyer was now walking next to her. He turned to face her, and saw that her face was set in sheer determination. As if she was building up the courage to do it. To face Jack, and maybe Kate.

'Maybe so that I could come with ya!' Sawyer was getting even more annoyed. He was annoyed because of the change in her. Before, they had been cool with each other; they were fighting for a bottle of vodka for God's sake! But now… it's because of that Jackass!

Before he could even think about how he was going to kill the doctor, the two of them had arrived at the hatch.

Ana Lucia paused for a moment at the hatch door. She tried to look casual and tried to stall as much as she can without making it too obvious how nervous she was about facing Jack and Kate again. Especially after hearing how cold his voice was before.

At last, Ana Lucia worked up the courage to walk in through the hatch door. It was also because Sawyer had finally decided to enter after coming up behind her. As they walked down the corridor, Ana Lucia's nervousness came flooding back to her. She had never been nervous before, but then again she had never been stuck on an island without any justice before either.

Just before they had turned the first corner, the voices from inside the room became clearer. She noticed, almost immediately, that one of the voices was Jack's. But the other voice, which pleased her a lot to hear, was someone else's. Someone who had every right to hate her but didn't. Sayid.

The voices had ceased as Sawyer, followed by Ana Lucia minute later, enter the room. Three pairs of eyes fell upon them.

'Well, Howdy people! What do I owe to this pleasure?' Sawyer asked, back into his usual irritating mood. Ana Lucia rolled her eyes heavenwards. If she needed something right then, it was certainly not Sawyer's humour, or the lack of it.

Jack stood near the table in the middle, leaning, once again, against one of the chairs, with his arms crossed. Kate sat on the other side of the table, leaning forwards onto her knees with her arms, looking as Ana Lucia had entered with pure hatred, and then at Sawyer with disgust. Sayid was standing at the end of the table, hands clasping the table in utter desperation of anger.

After Jack had finished explaining the events that had happened with Locke to Kate, they had decided that, knowing Locke, he would let it go ahead anyway, and ask people, and probably convince them about splitting the camps. So before he had the chance to do that, Jack decided to have his own 'meeting' if you could call it that.

In a meeting, the people there aren't suppose to wish death upon each other! he thought when he felt the tension between the five of them in the hatch.

After what seemed like an eternity so silence, Ana Lucia finally decided to speak.

'What's going on then?' her voice was calm, and steady, just as she wanted in to be. Unfortunately, the feeling wasn't the same throughout her body.

Her voice would have echoed within the hatch if it weren't for the objects inside. Then, a voice answered her question, but it wasn't who she was looking at.

'We needed to meet and discuss something. Something very important.' Sayid explained.

'Really?' Sawyer exclaimed sarcastically. For like the third time that day, Kate wanted to slap, or even punch him, like she had done previously when he had made her kiss him.

Jack, and the rest of them, chose to ignore him, even though it was a relief to have a break form the tension. Just a tiny break, mind.

'It's Locke.' Jack thought that it would be easy to start from the beginning. 'He's got it in his mind that our camp needs to be separated, split even, into two.' Jack stopped before going further. He hoped that he wouldn't have to explain why exactly Locke wants to split the camp, and resort to bringing up this morning's incident.

When Jack had stopped, Ana Lucia was surprised. Not by the information that he had given her, but by the fact he wasn't giving her more information. He's hiding something. And he doesn't want it to happen. But Ana Lucia wasn't sure if it were such a bad idea in the end.

'And?' She prompted.

'And,' Jack started. He stood up straighter, now with a hand on the table and the other on the chair he was leaning against. 'I don't think that that is a very good idea. And I'm not the only one.' His eyes shifted to Sayid, indicating that he was sticking by Jack.

Neither Sawyer nor Ana Lucia need any indication to tell them what Kate thought. It was obvious.

'So why did ya wanna tell us for Doc?' Sawyer asked.

'Cos I wanna know what you think about this' Jack was irritated; it showed in his voice. Sayid had noticed this too, as he continued Jack's sentence before Jack would get carried away.

'We thought that out of everyone here on the island, Locke would probably come to you first, seeing as you can lead well. We just wanted to make sure that you were aware, and that you know that we are against it as well.'

Ana Lucia stood up more straight as the last comment by Sayid. Sawyer did too, standing up more, and getting up from leaning onto the wall. They had both noticed how Sayid had presumed that they would be on their side. The two outcasts shred a quick look before Sawyer gave a small gesture, meaning 'go ahead'.

'What makes you think that we would be against this too?' Ana Lucia asked, tilting her head a bit to her right. She could now see Kate, and the expression she had on her face. She hadn't spoken once since they had gotten there, and Ana Lucia had a feeling that she wasn't going to keep that up for long.

'Because it would be the right thing to do, that's why!' Jack snapped. He knew that it wasn't going to be easy after this morning, but he had expected that she would agree to this and then stalk off to her tent as usual.

'The right thing? The right thing to do on this island would to have some justice and to have some sort of safeness.' She said the last bit eyeing Kate. Kate saw her and immediately tensed up. How can she say that when she isn't safe herself?

'Look. This had got nothing to do with this morning, ok? If Locke gets his way, then we will be in danger. More than we are now.' Ana Lucia scoffed at this. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, not for the first time that day.

'Ok then, what do you propose we do then? How can we make this place 'safer' and whatever else?' Kate said, jumping off of the table, and now standing a bit away from Ana Lucia. Her face was full of determination and the will to change their minds.

Well, she's gonna be disappointed, Ana Lucia thought.

'Lemme ask you something. Why did Locke propose this idea? Since when did he think that two camps would be a good idea?' Although Ana Lucia knew the answer, she wanted to hear it straight from them.

When none of them said anything, Ana Lucia smirked.

'Exactly what I thought. After this morning. So I guess it did affect them, after a while, but still. At least they are willing to make a difference. Everyone on this island wants to be safe.'

'Everyone on this island is safe as they can be!' Kate fired back.

'Not with you around.' Ana Lucia hissed.

That had done it. If Kate wasn't pissed off with her before, than now she was. Her feelings and disgust towards the girl in front of her was more that words could describe

Before she, or anyone, could say anything, Kate took a step forward and hit Ana Lucia. The sound as Ana Lucia's face snapped to her right did echo throughout the hatch.

Ana Lucia turned her head back again, using her thumb to wipe a bit of blood from the corner of her mouth. The look in her eyes was burning. Burning with hatred and a hell lot of other emotions that couldn't be described. But one that she felt was the need of revenge.

Kate looked at the other woman with narrow eyes, glad that she had taken out her anger on someone who she thought deserved it. Her right hand was thumping with pain, and she could feel the coolness of blood emerging from a slit on it, but she didn't care.

As the two looked at each other, the three men there were confused of what to do, but aware of every move which was happening. It was a good thing too, as almost as quick as Kate had hit Ana Lucia; Ana Lucia attempted to hit her back.

But Sawyer's quick reflexes caught him. As much as he hated Kate right then for hitting Ana Lucia, he couldn't let her get hit. He still felt a little something for her. And it wouldn't be a good idea to let it get out of control he reassured himself with the reason why he is stopping a full on catfight.

Jack, too, pulled Kate back as quick as Sawyer had pulled Ana Lucia back. But, unlike Kate, Ana Lucia was fighting against Sawyer's grip on her.

'Will you just calm down?' He whispered at her harshly.

'Why? You're not gonna side with that murderer are you?' she hit back.

Jack's grip around Kate's waist was still in place as Kate attempted to move forward. He pulled her back and whispered to her 'It's not worth it, Kate.' Kate just stood still, she fists clenched, as Ana Lucia had finally stopped fighting against Sawyer, and let him hold onto her wrist to stop her from attacking him.

'Don't think that this is over. If the survivors want a safer place to live, then that's what I'll give them. Not matter what I have to do.' She finished off, eyeing Kate. She then pulled her arm out of Sawyer's grasp and walked out of the room. Sawyer left after her, leaving with a smirk, obviously amused with the outcome.

'Well, that's not what I expected to happen' Sayid sighed. He left to attend to the alarm which had just begun as soon as he had finished his sentence.

Kate turned around to face Jack. She saw the look on his face.

'I guess that we'll have to fight this on our own then.' She sighed.

'Hmm.' Jack replied. His mind wasn't there. He was now concerned about where the other two were going. If they were going to fingd Locke, then they'll have the camp divided in almost two days. No matter how much he thought and assured himself that no one will want to split the camp, a bit at the back of his mind nagged him, telling him to get real.

Jack looked back at Kate, and saw some blood on her top. He looked down at her hand.

'Good hit.' He said, trying to lighten the mood. He pulled her towards the other room with all of the medical stuff so that he could clean the cut.

'Thanks. It felt good to do.' Kate laughed a bit.

Jack laughed, but try as he might, he couldn't stop thinking about what was going to happen now that Ana Lucia and Sawyer were on Locke's side.

So? Long chapter I know.

But I couldn't stop writing…

So will the camp be divided?

And will Ana Lucia get her revenge?

Well R&R PEALSE!
