Riding On The Wings Of An Angel

Chapter 4: The Airplane

Jack:

It had started to rain. A light misty rain, the type that clung to everything, with the sun still poking through the clouds it became unbearably muggy. Wiping his hand across his face, Jack attempted to remove the moisture. 'What was worse than being crashed on a deserted island, with unseen monsters, polar bears and mysterious psycho kidnappers?' Jack asked himself. 'Add Kate and some tropical rain into the mix and give it a stir.' A grim smile appeared on Jack's face matching the dark bags under his eyes giving him a crazy look. A snort from behind and Jack remembered that he wasn't alone.

"What? You say somethin' doc or are you just mumbling nonsense now?" Sawyer gave Jack a confused look, "Maybe the Doc's finally lost it." Chuckling to himself a self-satisfied smirk spread itself over Sawyer's face.

"What?" Jack looked back at Sawyer, attempting an annoyed look but was too tired to even glare. 'What the hell was Sawyer going on about?' They had been walking for several hours already and it was starting to get dark.

"You was just mumbling somethin' 'bout Kate and the damned weather." Shaking out his hair, "Anything you want to share with the class?"

Hearing Sawyer's ever-irritating remarks gave Jack another boost of energy. 'One more reason to find Kate fast—Sawyer will drive me insane otherwise.'

Sawyer:

This trek was harder than Sawyer has anticipated. 'Kate better be worth this.' Sawyer was wet, Sawyer was hot, and Sawyer was dieing for a smoke. Having used up the last cigarette in his pack and having left all the rest at the beach, Sawyer was a little touchier than usual.

"So, hero—we almost there yet." Sawyer growled. 'Talking to St. Jack's back was really irritating.'

"Hey you." Jack turned around giving Sawyer a questioning look, "Yeah, you, Mr. Lead-us-in-the-right-direction, are we almost there?" pointing at the sky. "It's getting dark ya know." The irritation in his voice wasn't well disguised.

Jack's body tensed and he stopped walking.

"What, we takin' a break now?" Sawyer rolled his eyes and sat down. "Thought Freckles was more important to you than that."

"That's it!" Jack's voice boomed through the jungle. "You just keep on whining, come on I dare you." Jack took a menacing step towards Sawyer.

Sawyer didn't move, his face felt frozen and his heart started beating double time. 'Oh-oh, the Hero has lost it.' The look on Jack's face could certainly be mistaken as crazy. 'Maybe, I'll shut-up for a while, no point getting beaten up so far from the beach—and my cigarettes.'

"Whow, there Jacko, chill will ya."

"Chill!" Jack's eyes bugged out of his head, "You're telling me to chill!" Jack had really lost it now.

"Let me get this straight. Kate is out there," Jack waved frantically in the direction they were headed. "And you are whining about whether we are there yet!" Jack gasped for air as he continued on his rant. "News Flash, no one asked you to come on this little excursion. So you are either going to shut-up and help out or you are going to LEAVE!"

Kate:

Stumbling, falling, tripping. Kate kept repeating these actions as she desperately followed a path. Trying to ignore the pain that racked her body causing her to gasp, she still couldn't go very far at one time, but she had to try. 'I am used to being in trouble. Come on this is just another challenge to over come.' Glancing around Kate saw the path disappear around the bend. 'Besides I never give up. I can do anything and I don't need anyone's help.' A nagging though tugged at her mind. '…But I might need help this time.'

'Where does the path lead anyways?' She wondered. 'Shelter.' Something answered in her mind. 'Follow the path and you will find shelter.'

Shelter was one of the many things she desperately wanted. She was cold and wet. Cold—now that was the understatement of the month. 'It's freezing, I wouldn't be surprised if it snowed.' Kate giggled at the thought of a snow filled jungle.

The rain had stopped but everything was soaked. Stumbling from a hidden tree root Kate fell, marking up the path with her handprints. Gasping from the searing pain in her side and all the throbbing other parts of her body Kate gingerly sat down in the middle of the path.

Shivering she wrapped her arms around herself. 'Why is it so cold?' Frowning Kate tried to think through the haze in her head.

The chattering of her teeth was so loud she didn't hear the sound of footsteps coming towards her. A hand on her shoulder caused her to jump. "Aaiiee!"

Kate screamed, panic coursing through her, then she froze. She was so far away from the camp. 'Who could it be?' A terrified jolt went through her as she thought of Ethan.

"It's not Ethan silly." A voice chided her. "It's Jesse." The childish voice teased her.

Kate sat perfectly still. 'This is not real. This is a dream. I am…dreaming?'

"You're not dreaming." The voice started to sound teary. "Why won't you look at me?" A sound of little feet pounded on the dirt and the voice spoke again, high pitched with a sound of tears close behind. "Can't you hear me?"

Kate moved slightly, wiggling her fingers then pinching herself. 'I am still awake.' The fogginess in her brain had increased and every time she breathed a pain raced from her chest radiating outward making her almost wish she were dreaming. 'But I am awake… and I am not dreaming.'

'Okay, get this over with, just turn around, Kate. Don't be silly. It has been a long time since you checked for monsters under the bed every night. Nothing is there. Just turn around…'

Turning halfway around was all Kate could manage before she was gasping with tears stinging her eyes. But that was as far as she needed to go before she saw him.

"Jesse?" Breathless as she previously was. Kate felt like the air had been sucked out of her.

A shriek went through the air and a giggle followed. " I knew you were just playing—of course you can see me!"

The beaming smile on Jesse's little face was all Kate could take. A flood of feelings and memories bombarded her already confused mind. 'How could this be happening?'

Flashback:

"Wake-up sleepyhead." Kate sat on Jesse's airplane picture blankets on his bed. Speaking in a singsong voice, "Wake-up my sweet, wake-up my precious." Watching as Jesse rolled over opening his eyes and yawning. "Guess what today is?"

A confused look was quickly replaced by a joyful smile. "It's my birfday!" Jesse jumped out of bed.

"Yep, that's right my little man." Kate's smile got brighter and a light shone in her eyes. "I got you a little something."

Jesse's eyes got wide, "You did." The awe in his voice was amplified by his almost comical expression.

Kate laughed, "Of course I did silly. But remember what I told you about not getting lots of gifts this year since…" Kate tapered off not knowing how to tell a four-year-old that they were on the run from a man that had them. But she didn't need to think for long when Jesse spoke up.

"…Since we left daddy?" The little boy asked his voice going solemn.

"Yes, Jesse." Kate frowned then covered her face in a sudden smile and tackled Jesse onto the bed and started to tickle him. "Do you want you present now or what?"

"Yes!" Jesse yelled excitedly and leapt into Kate's lap and kissed her check. "Yes, pwlease."

Chuckling Kate pulled a box the size of her hand out from behind her back. The wrapping paper was decorated with toy planes—Jesse's favorite.

Kate could only watch as the little boy with the soft brown curls eagerly unwrapped the small gift to reveal a small toy airplane.
