Chapter 10

The next day…

Elle watched over Sawyer as he slept. He looked so peaceful. Elle took the banana from Kate and threw it at him. Kate giggled and both women stood in front of him, both giggling. Sawyer groaned as he woke and mumbled something about no respect and wishing Kate knew how to wake a guy without killing him with a banana. Elle sat at his knees.

"You have to change your bandages, Tex. Kate said so." Elle smirked. Kate just giggled.

Sawyer cringed. "Why can't she do it? Or you El?"

"I'm not your nurse." Kate said. Elle and Kate pulled him up, nearly knocking them both over.

They soon made it to the hatch, which was as quiet as graveyard. Elle looked around, seeing no one. Kate headed over to the bathroom, hoping to find the bandages, but stopped hearing a shout erupt from where the 'vault' was. Sawyer rushed over there, and Kate ran over to the beeping computer. Elle went for the bathroom to get the bandages. Jack and Lock emerged from the 'vault' after Sawyer had opened it.

Elle pulled Sawyer to a chair to change his bandages. Sawyer gave her a quick smile of thanks, then went back to listening to the guys talk. They were going after Michael.

A little while later…

"You are not going, Kate! I said no." Jack stared at Kate. Kate made a face and stalked off looking angry. Elle approached Jack. Jack made a face, knowing he would have to shoe her off too.

"Jack, let me come then. I can help." Jack sighed and pulled her away from the men.

"El, I can't let you go. It's complicated." Elle made a face.

"Jack, I can help. I can do things no one else can. I need to come. Look, I know when things are going to happen before they happen. Just let me come."

"Look, I know you want to come, but it's not safe. It will be extremely dangerous. Just do as I say."

"Jack, I knew when Shannon was going to get shot. I knew when the Taillies were coming here. I knew it all before you did. Just let me come! I can do it!"

Jack sighed, not really listening. "Fine. Come. But be careful."

More later…

The four slashed through the forest. Sawyer complained about how low it was and how he would have gone around. Elle just sighed, just trying to still keep up. "So, why did you pick Sawyer for a name?"

Elle looked surprised that it was Locke asking. But as before, Sawyer just acted all suspicious, and the guys just ignored it. It was then when seven shots rang out. Elle ducked down, and tried to keep up with the guys as they ran to catch up with Michael.

Elle rested for a moment as the guys started tracking Michael. Elle just ignored their arguing, as they tried to figure out what way they went. Finally they went moving again.

Even more later…

It soon got dark, and the men were arguing again. Elle rolled her eyes. She had barely said anything the entire trip. This was getting aggravating. Suddenly they stopped arguing, and had their guns up, and about to fire. Elle looked to see someone standing in front of them.

Who's that? Elle wondered. "He's the son of a bitch that shot me on the raft." Sawyer hissed, as if reading her mind.

A shot rang out again. Elle dropped to the ground, hoping she hadn't gotten shot. She checked. No blood. Elle listened to the man's harsh words. She followed as the man led them to sit by a fire. She listened closely, hoping she could learn something about these men.

She felt nervous, hearing Jack and this man talk. Where these the dreaded Others they were talking about?

It was then when Kate was brought out as a threat. Elle shivered. Would they kill Kate? Elle watched, carefully, just as scared as Kate was. 1…2…

Elle sighed with relief when he stopped and threw Kate back at them. Kate was breathing heavily, just like Elle. Jack was annoyed, as Elle could tell. He was annoyed with Kate for stopping. He was annoyed for losing the guns. He was annoyed for losing Michael most of all. We will be in touch Miss Elle…Elle jumped. Someone had said it in her mind! This place was crazy!

The next morning…

They had spent the night and were making their way through the fields. Jack had not spoken to Kate all night. Even though she apologized, all he could say was. "Yea, I'm sorry too."

Elle frowned. This was going to be a long few days after this. Soon enough, Jack had locked himself in his tent after they had come back, then later went to the beach. Elle just looked around, seeing what was going on. Charlie still looked alone. Locke was playing with the baby and Claire. Kate was in her tent sulking. Elle went over to Sawyer's tent where he was reading. Elle lay on her side and put her head on his chest. Sawyer raised an eyebrow.

"May I help you with something, missy?" Elle smiled.

"I'm lonely. Can I stay here? Everyone's either sulky or to busy to talk to me. You're the only one actually doing something worthwhile."

Sawyer shrugged, and went back to his reading. Elle read along with him, bored out of mind, but happy to be with her fiancée. Elle soon closed her eyes. She was more tired than usual. It seemed to be happening more often for the past two weeks. Just as she was slipping off to sleep she felt Sawyer kiss her head.
