Chapter 4
Michael
The next day Kate woke up to find that she was still lying on Jack's knee. Jack was already awake. "Hey, sleep well?"Jack asked stroking Kate's hair.
"Yeah great pillow,"Kate joked. Then they heard someone coming towards them. Kate and Jack jumped up, Jack placed his hands on Kate's shoulder. A couple of minutes later they saw a shadow coming towards them. Kate screamed and turned towards Jack and buried her head in his chest. "It's alright, he won't hurt you, I won't let him,"Jack whispered and kissed Kate's forehead.
Then the man changed direction and ran off. "Kate he's gone, it's alright he's gone," Jack said relieved stepping back to take a look at Kate.
"Phew I thought it was Zeke coming to kidnap me again," Kate replied.
"He wouldn't have got you anyway. He would have had to get through me first. Kate nothings going to happen to you. I love you Kate,"Jack explained getting a kiss from Kate.
"Love you too, I think we should head back to the beach,"Kate announced. Jack nodded and they started walking into the jungle hand in hand.
A couple of minutes later they heard a roar from the monster and it was coming their way. "Jack,"Kate squeaked.
"One word run,"Jack replied pushing Kate in front of him and they both ran for it. They had been running for about ten minutes and they monster had given up. Kate got her foot stuck in a root and tripped over it, hitting her head on the ground. She was barely conscious. Jack kneeled down beside her checking or any wounds, she had a small cut on her forehead and a scratch at the bottom of her neck.
"Alright Kate I'm going to have to pour a bit of alcohol over the cuts, it might sting a bit," Jack announced. He got the alcohol from out of his bag and poured a bit over each cut before putting it back it the bag. He got a wet cloth and dabbed it at the cuts until the blood had been cleaned.
"You alright?"Jack asked helping Kate up.
"Yeah my leg really hurts. I think I might have sprained it. I can't walk on it,"Kate replied rubbing her left leg.
"Where does it hurt?"Jack asked.
"Uh my ankle,"Kate replied leaning back on a tree. It was obvious that she was in pain.
"Ok,"Jack said kneeling down and taking a look at Kate's ankle. Lifting the ends of her trousers to take a look. He just gently tapping Kate's ankle to see where it hurts most. Kate squealed when her got to a part that seemed to really hurt.
"Yeah you've sprained it, I'll carry you back,"Jack replied.
"Oooh Jack,"Kate replied raising her eyebrows flirting a little. Jack laughed and placed one arm around her shoulders and the other under her knees, he gently lifted her up in his arms. Kate put her arms around Jack's neck so she was tilted a bit, leaning in towards Jack.
About half an hour later they heard the rustling in the bushes again. Kate turned her head away from the noise and rested it on Jack's chest. Jack turned her in so she was closer to him. Then the man appeared. He looked strangely familiar. "Michael?"Jack asked shocked.
