As the rain began to fall, Kate awoke. For a moment, she was delirious, expecting the rain to be falling upon her tent, or outside the caves. But, after blinking a couple of times, she saw that the rain was falling upon her and all around the ground around her.

Kate struggled to sit up. As she did, the events which led her to be on the ground came back to her. Anya. The one thought caused her to bolt straight onto her feet.

'Anya! ANYA!' her first shout was hoarse, but the second echoed around the jungle. No response. She knew that there wouldn't have been but she wanted to make sure.

A rush of panic came upon her. Not only had she lost Anya, she had also broken her promise to Jack. But the former was what mattered to her the most.

Kate started to run towards the caves, where they were aiming to go in the first place. When she got there, she saw that the people there had no look of distress or anything. They didn't hear anything.

Kate tore through the jungle once again, this time heading towards the hatch. She needed to go after them, but with no supplies, it would have been a huge mistake.

It took her less than half the time to get there, and she didn't stop running until she got into the room where she had placed her bag. She grabbed it and ripped it over onto the table. Rummaging through what she had on the table before her, Kate decided that it was best to take the minimum she needed. She had seen that The Others had taken Anya's bag as well, which mean that she might or might not have her medicine.

When she headed to the medical storage cupboard which Jack had sorted out to keep all of the medical stuff, Libby came out of the laundry room.

'Hey. I wondered who was here.' Libby asked as she saw Kate heading into the cupboard. When she didn't respond, Libby became a bit concerned, considering that Kate was in the medical room.

'Hey. Where's Anya?' she asked, concerned.

Kate hurried out of the room, and back towards her bag. She dumped some supplies into it, grabbed some food and water and tightened it onto her back.

'Kate. Kate!' Libby stood in her way. Kate finally noticed the woman was there.

'They've got her. And I'm going after Jack and them lot so that I can warn them. And do not try to stop me!'

Libby didn't move, and neither did Kate.

'Are you sure that that's such a good idea?'

'You got a better idea? I can't go after Them alone, but if I find the others first, we can go get her first.'

Libby considered her words. It was true, she didn't have a better idea, but going into the jungle to find the other three guys was pretty dangerous in its own term. And she couldn't go herself with her. The only other person she could think of was Ana Lucia, but Libby knew that Kate was in a rush to get out of there.

''k. But if you're not back by late night…' Libby trailed off.

'Yeah. Thanks.' With that Kate rushed out of the hatch, leaving a concerned and worried Libby behind her.

Out in the jungle, Kate found the path which she suspected that the guys had gone on. She walked as one of the fastest paces she could, hoping that she could catch up with them, even though it had been over 3 hours. She knew they would make camp soon, so she would catch up then.

The pain in her head was returning, but Kate took a long drag of her water, never stopping in case she fell behind. She knew that the trail would be faint, as the rain might have washed it away, but she took her chances.

As Kate walked through the jungle, all that she could think of was whet her she would get to Anya in time. She had seen what they had done to Charlie, even thought they didn't want him. They wanted Anya, Kate knew that. The whole knew that! But what for? The thing that kept her from believing that they would hurt her is that they needed her.

A rustling in the bushes broke her train of thoughts. She had heard that once before that day and the outcome had been far from good, so she grew stiff.

The rustling continued, and the thing making it seemed to be moving closer, and encircling her. Kate reached behind her pulled out the gun that she had gotten from the medical cupboard which she had seen Jack hide before.

'Put that away.' A familiar voice, with an accent, came from in front of her.

Kate kept the gun up as Rousseau came out in front of her, a rifle shouldered, and she normal posture.

'I said-'

'Have you been following me?' Kate interrupted. She knew hat this encounter was wasting precious time, but she wanted to know as much as she could, as soon as she could.

'just for a couple of minutes. Why are you here?'

'Have you got anything to do with it?' Kate shouted, ignoring her question.

Rousseau didn't respond.

'Well?'

'No. I don't know what you are talking about, but no. Are you looking to go after Jack and the other two?'

Kate had started to turn away, lowing her gun, but the mention of Jack's name made her stop.

'What did you say?'

'I know where they are heading, and which way. I could lead you to them. But you must be willing to trust me.'

Kate considered this for a moment. If she let Danielle to lead her, then she could get to them in next to no time. But if she's lying, then what? Kate had almost no time to waste, so she took her chances.

'How far ahead are they?' Kate asked, placing her gun back into the jeans. She followed Danielle as she started to lead.

'If we follow directly, then tow to three hours. If I take you through another way, less than an hour, and hour maximum. But that depends on how desperate you are, and whether you really do trust me.'

Kate weighed out her options. It's not the time to be judgemental Kate! This is Anya's life on the life! At the back of her mind, the part which she had ignored for many years, told her that it was true. If she wanted to get to Anya, alive, then she would have to trust Danielle.

''k. C'mon, quickly. We don't' have much time.'

The two of them walked, more like jogged, silently through long grass and trees for almost half and hour before Danielle said something. Neither of them had stopped once, and Rousseau figured that the reason why Kate was here was a matter close to her heart.

'Why are you in such desperation to get to them? What was it that you were accusing me of earlier?'

Kate was surprised by the sudden questions being asked to her. The trek so far had been silent, even though she had expected her to ask. After all, Kate had accused her of kidnapping, not like she knew it.

'It's Anya. They took her, and I have to warn Jack before he does something with out knowing it.'

'And you assumed that I might have been involved with this abduction?'

'I'm sorry. But you've gotta admit, after last time, with Aaron and all that…' Kate trailed off, not knowing why she was explaining herself to her.

Rousseau nodded.

'I understand. You were only thinking of the best way to get her back. The quickest and the safest.'

Kate nodded, now walking alongside the other woman. She found some relief in her words, knowing that she was helping to get Anya back, and that she had made the right choice.

Unfortunately that thought didn't stat long. After a couple of minutes, there was some more rustling. Kate froze, as did Danielle. As Rousseau brought up her rifle, Kate took her gun out.

The rustling become even noisier, and Kate was so sure that it was one of Them, that she put her gun down a bit so that she could attack when they come form behind, like last time.

This plan failed, however. As Kate turned around to face the place the noise was coming form, someone else came form behind her and knocked her out straight away. Kate's gun had been flung out of her hand before she could do anything, and was unconscious before she could think.

Danielle had ran as soon as she had seen the guy come out. There is no point in both of us getting taken she concluded.

When she was sure that They had gone, with Kate of course, Danielle started to follow the path the were going once again, hoping to meet up with Jack and the others with 30 minutes or so. This way, they will know of the situation, and perhaps save them both.

I know, not all that, was it?
