This chapter is extremely short. I'm sorry. I don't want to scare my readers away by letting them think that everyone but Kate is dead, so I wrote this chapter.
I'm thinking about starting a new story, but I'm not sure what. I was thinking maybe LOST in highschool or right when the plane crashes and just have it play out different...I'm not sure. If anyone has any ideas for any of those or even any plot ideas, I'd love to hear because I have major writers block for writing something new.
Chapter 19
Verità indicata
"The truth which has made us free, will in the end, make us glad also."
Jack limped through the dense jungle, hoping his was going in the right direction. Having been shot in the leg, he really needed to get back to camp and get himself fixed. The bullet hadn't been deep, and he'd managed to get it out, but he still needed to clean the wound and fix it up. He'd been walking since only about an hour after he'd gotten shot, but he only had covered about half, maybe even less, of the distance he would have if he hadn't been shot.
He was alone now, not sure where Sawyer or anyone else was. Them had made him get up and get going, and the last thing remembered about Sawyer was him holding his shoulder and not being allowed to get up. Jack was going to fight them, but realized he should probably head back to the beach to see if Kate had made it back alright.
Was Kate even alive though? He tried not to think of that, but it managed to plague his mind anyway. Had she escaped? Did she make it to the beach? Was she somewhere lost in the jungle? Did they hurt her? Did they kill her? He wasn't sure he even wanted to know the answers.
Meanwhile, Sawyer, Jessie, and Jayla were following a bit behind Jack. After Jack had gone, they'd been let up and told to scram. They were trying to follow him as best as they could, looking for footprints, broken branches, anything they could possibly find to tell them that they were heading in the right direction. Turns out, they all were horrible trackers. Somehow, they managed to stay five to ten minutes behind Jack, but not even realize it.
