Chapter 11: Worst Enemies
Is he god? Charlie asked himself as Eko stepped into the hatch door. Charlie didn't know what to think. The last week or two had been a nightmare. Him thinking everyone was dead, the hatch being destroyed, and now the hatch is unlocked. Charlie did not like it. He thought he was going crazy. He stopped thinking as he saw Eko's head appear in the door.
"Charlie." Eko said. Charlie looked at him. He did not say anything.
"Come." Eko said. Charlie let out his breath. He slowly walked up to the door. He followed Eko inside. They walked down the stairs from the door and into the hatch. Charlie could not believe his eyes. The hatch was a mess again. Of course, it was not as messy as it was the first time he had seen it after the explosion but there were things thrown around.
What the? Charlie thought as he picked up a book from the ground. He looked through and it saw Eko from the corner of his eye. He could see Eko poking through a pile of things that were on the ground. He picked up a piece of wood and started to closely examine it. Charlie couldn't help but walk over.
"What are you doing?" Charlie asked. Eko smiled and looked up. He metioned towards the walls.
"What do you think?" Eko said. He pointed to the walls.
"I think your smelling wood for no reason." Charlie answered. Eko put a smile on his face.
"I meant what do you think about the hatch?" Eko said. Charlie scuffed his shoe on the ground and sat on a discarded pillow.
"Um..." He looked around. "It's a complete mess in here?" Charlie said. Eko walked over to him and picked up and object from the ground.
"What do you notice about the things in this room?" he asked. Charlie looked at the object in his hand.
"The things are..." Charlie looked through his brain for words. "Things are... broken?" Eko smiled again.
"No." Eko said. He went back to the large pile and picked up more objects.
"All these objects," Eko said as he laid them out in front of Charlie, "have no metal in them. Nothing in here does anymore." Charlie looked up. He looked around the room. He could not believe his eyes. Everything that had some sort of metal had dissapeared. The metal off the benches and the handles in the kitchen had been ripped off. Charlie looked back at Eko.
"What does that mean?" Charlie asked. And at that time Eko chose to be quiet.

It had been a day. There was not much trees here for Kate to pick fruit off of. She had only eaten 2 pieces of fruit that day. She had jsut woken up from a long night of tossing around trying to sleep. She found a bush with a burrow in it to hide in in case the men were still after her. She was now walking along the forest trying to find out how to get back to her camp. As she walked through the forest, she thought back to the dream she had last night. And it really was a weird one.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She
was sitting in a prison cell. Kate didn't know what she was doing
there. The last thing she remembered was laying underneath the bushes
hiding from the others who were trying to find her. She looked up.
There was nothing in her room but an old toilet and a cot. There was
also a tiny sink by the bars that held her in. She looked down again
at her feet. She looked back up as she heard people walking down the
hallway. She stood as a man and a woman stopped outside her cell.
"Katherine."
The woman said. "We are ready for you." Kate was confused.
"Ready
for what?" Kate asked. The man smiled.
"For
your trial dear." The man was old and he had a very bushy
mustache. Kate smiled as the man opened the door and let her out.
"Aren't
you going to cuff me?" Kate said. The man shook his head.
"No.
We trust you. And if this trial goes the way we want it, you should
be fine." The man said. She was lead down the short hallway and
into a small room.
"Wait
here until you are called." The wamon said as she left the room.
The man sat down on her left and began leafing through a newspaper.
He looked up at Kate who was paralyzed to the spot.
"You
okay dear?" He asked. Kate shook her head.
"I'm
a little confused here." Kate said. The man smiled.
"That's
okay. It's normal for some people." The man went back to his
newspaper.
"Gregory
Haltoy representing Katherine Austin. Please step into the courtroom.
The man got up and walked over to Kate.
"Ready?"
The man asked. Kate was confused.
"I guess..." Kate said. And the man led her out the door.
After
that Kate's dream skipped points and that part was foggy in her head.
The next thing she saw was herself in a small room with her everyday
clothes on. A man came over and took out a key.
"Your
arms miss." The cop said. Kate put her arms out and the man
unlocked the cuffs that were attached to her wrist.
"Thank
you." Kate said. The man smiled and nodded.
"You
are very welcome." The man turned to elave but stopped as he
reached the far door. He turned.
"I
knew you didn't do it. You were just... to nice a person." The
man said.
"Did
what?" Kate asked. The man laughed.
"You know, blow up your father. I knew it was only a gas leak."The man opened the door.
"Don't
take it with you." He said and he left the room. Kate was
stunned. She turned and left the room. She exited the prison doors
and headed down the path towards the parking lot. Once she reached
it, she realized that she didn't have to ride home. She also realized
she didn't have a home. She took a deep breath and turned to go back
into the prison.
"Kate." A voice called out. Kate stopped dead. She knew that voice. She turned around and stopped as she couldn't believe her eyes. Standing only a few meters away from her way no one other than Jack.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kate's thoughts were interupted as she heard loud voices. She instantly ducked and walked forward. She could see three men backing away from something. She walked a little closer.
OH MY GOD Kate thought to herself. It was Jack, Sawyer, and Sayid. She knew that they would come for her. She was about to call out to them when she saw the two people she dreaded the most, their worst enemies.
