Riding On The Wings Of An Angel
Chapter 5: Magic n' Memories
Jack and Sawyer:
"It came from over here." Jack argued.
"No, I'm telling you, it didn't!" Sawyer's face was getting red with frustration. "It-"
"-Fine!" Jack interrupted throwing up his hands in frustration, "It came from over there." Jack glared at Sawyer. "So let's go this way." Jack started off in the opposite direction of Sawyer, heading off in the direction he thought he heard the shriek come from. It had defiantly been a human shriek not some animal, but it hadn't sounded much like Kate. 'Actually it sounded more like a child…but that's not possible, this jungle sure can mess with your head.
Jack heard someone stomping after him, "ya, the Hero's always right ain't he." Sawyer's voice dripped with malice. "Well, when it turns out I was right and YOU were wrong, then-"
Jack cut Sawyer off again, "-If you think you're so right then go in that direction." Jack kept walking, "What do I care." A small smile crept onto his face as a thought came into his head, "Or are you to afraid?"
Sawyer's head shot up, "'Fraid of what?"
Jack kept walking, his idea getting stronger, "Afraid of being in the 'haunted jungle' all by your self." Jack answered in a mocking voice, using Sawyer's nickname for the jungle. They were entering a clearing.
"Hold on a sec," Sawyer sped up, "I ain't afraid of bein' in the damn-"
Again Sawyer was cut off, but this time it wasn't by Jack. A cloud passed overhead placing them in almost complete darkness. An icy wind picked up and a screaming sound resonated around them. It howled in their ears while the wind whipped in their eyes.

Jack:
A branch came out of nowhere and hit Jack on the arm. Staggering to the side, Jack let out a yell that only got swept away in the wind.
The wind picked up speed and the scream came again. Jack's head whipped up. 'Now that wasn't the wind.' He thought. 'Kate!' He turned trying to locate the source. Again the scream came. 'Kate, where are you?' He desperately thought.
The sky lit up as a large crack sounded. 'What the hell is going on?' Turning around Jack tried to see through the debris that was whirling around them. It looked like he was in the center of a great hurricane force storm.
Then as suddenly as it had started, the wind stopped. The air became warmer and the darkness slipped away revealing a setting sun.
As the scream faded, that Jack swore sounded like Kate calling for him, he paced back and forth trying to figure out which direction to take off in.
"Sawyer, What-" Jack turned around to face Sawyer. "Sawyer?" But Sawyer wasn't in the clearing. Jack was baffled, 'Where could he have gone?'

Sawyer:
The cold wind picked up so fast that Sawyer's mind didn't have time to adjust. As the piercing sound reached his ears, all he could do was cover them and grimace. "Damn sensitive ears." Sawyer usually didn't complain, but his ears had always been super sensitive.
All of a sudden the wind speed picked up and the piercing sound came again, "Hell!" Sawyer yelped and dropped to the ground still covering his ears. 'What did that sound remind him of?' The sound howled again, 'Oh right, the man-eating monster. Great, just great."
A crack thundered above Sawyer and he yelped again trying even harder to cover his ears. A bright light lit up the area for a second revealing the wind-filled madness that surrounded him.
The wind stopped so suddenly that the debris that was being tossed around in the wind dropped directly down.
"Holy…crap!" Sawyer yelled as he jumped out of the way of a huge branch that had been falling towards him at an unimaginable speed. It plunged into the hard ground like it was play-doh and stuck up at an odd angle.
All Sawyer could do was stare at it for a moment, thinking about how that could have been him. "Hell, this islands gonna be the death of me!" Sawyer turned around searching the clearing for Jack, but he was nowhere to be found.
"Hey Hero, where you run off to…the storm wasn't that scary."

Kate:
Kate was lying under and overhang. How she'd gotten there, she didn't know. For the last hour of so she had been so in and out of it. Wandering trying to find camp, then just trying to find a shelter for the night. More and more gaps were placing themselves in her memory. 'Guess injury does that to a person.' Kate closed her eyes as a wave of pain struck. All she could do was ride it out.
'Jesse's presence help, too…wait.' Kate kept forgetting, 'Jesse isn't real. Jesse is dead!' Now anger started to fill Kate. 'Jesse is dead, you of all people should know.'

Flashback:
"Zooooom…zooooom," Jesse whipped his toy plane up and down in the air. "When I grow up I wanna be a airplane driver!" Jesse exclaimed grinning and pretended to land his plane on the ground.
Smiling Kate responded, "You can be anything you want, but right now you are my little boy."
"I'm not a little boy!" Jesse jumped up and put his hands on his hips and pouted.
Walking over Kate swooped him up in her arms. "But you are my little man. "Jesse let out a laugh and wrapped his chubby arms around Kate's neck.
"Yep, yep, I'm your little man." Kate laughed. Jesse was so precious with his beautiful green eyes and chubby little face, he was but little more than a baby.
They twirled around, Kate with Jesse in her arms, dancing to music in their heads and singing in tone-deaf voices. At last they collapsed on the small raggedly couch out of breath.
As Kate lay there she heard the words that have been with her since that day, and she wished with all her heart that she could hear them again.
"I love you, Mommy.
