Polar Bear blues
It was another fine day in Cave town (as Hurley now called it).Everything has been really easy going lately, nobody has head from the monster for a while, nobody has been sick or gotten injured, it was great it was like being on holidays. Jack was really taking advantage of this break, he went into the jungle and found a secluded spot and flaked out on a towel soaking up the glorious warm rays from the sun.
Although Jack was completely relaxed he wished that a certain green eyed brunette was there with him, of course he was talking about Kate, he wanted her there with him so bad, then he would need nothing more, Kate made him feel like he was floating in air when she smiled at him he felt like he was going to melt. But Kate was out somewhere in the jungle with Sayid trying to pin-point the distress signal they heard.
Well he might as well enjoy the quiet now, its not going to last forever, sooner or later someone is going to get injured.

Deep in the jungle Kate and Sayid were walking through some heavy bush, this part of the jungle was very wild and grown over, which made Kate and Sayid very un-easy.
"So Sayid, if we do pin-point the distress signal, then what are we going to do?" Kate asked as she stumbled over some broken branches.
" If we can triangulate the signal , we can find the power source, if we find the power source we can put out a new signal and hope that someone will hear it, and then hopefully we will be able to get of this rock" Sayid said in one breath.
"Oh, ok…. But the fren…"
Kate and Sayid froze as they heard a loud rustling coming from the bushes.
"Maybe it's a boar" Kate said in a hushed voice.
Sayid did not answer he kept his gaze fixed on the bushes.
"I think we should.."
Suddenly a polar bear charged from the bush right towards Kate, she tried to move but she couldn't she was too scared, it came at her so quickly. In one fast swipe the bear sliced Kate's side and knocked her to the ground, where it sliced her again and again.
Sayid took the gun from his back pack and shot the bear seven times in the head, it finally fell to the ground. Sayid shouted something in his own language and ran over to a heavily bleeding Kate.
He took out a shirt from his pack and rapped it around the gashes to try and slow the bleeding.
"Don't worry Kate, I'll get you back soon, just hold on for me!" Sayid said and lifted her up in his arms and ran back to camp.

It was starting to get dark so Jack headed back to camp. When he arrived there he was glad to see everyone sitting around chatting and laughing. No one had died or the world hadn't ended when he wasn't there, maybe he didn't have to be leader Jack all the time he could just be normal Jack. Hw took a seat next to Hurley, Claire and Charlie who played some songs for the group on his guitar.
An hour later the group were having a great time, Hurley was doing some stand up comedy for everyone, which had them in stitches of laughter .
When Sayid came running into the caves screaming for Jack, Jack reluctantly turned around, but when he saw an unconscious Kate in his arms he immediately jumped up and bolted over to Kate.
"What the hell happened" Jack asked , his voice full of concern and worry. He checked her pulse.. it was very weak and her breathing was uneven .
"She was attacked by a polar bear" Sayid said in between breaths.
Jack took Kate out of Sayid' s arms and carried her to the infirmary.
"It's ok Kate, I'm gona fix you" Jack whispered to Kate lovingly and placed little kisses on her forehead.
"Hurley get me those gaze strips and the bottle of peroxide…oh and a sewing kit" Jack ordered
" How long ago was she attacked?" Jack asked an exhausted Sayid
"Around for hours ago" Sayid said breathlessly
"Four hours ago, has she lost a lot of blood!"
"A lot" Sayid said sadly
" Shit!" Jack cursed
Hurley came back with the supplies, Jack quickly got to work on fixing Kate. He cleaned the gashes and sewed them up, altogether Kate needed about 60 stitches.
"She's gona be ok right?" asked a concerned Claire
Jack sighed "I don't know Claire…she's lost a lot of blood and she still hasn't shown any signs of waking up…..I don't know what to do…If I loose her Claire……I can't loose her, she means so much to me" Jack said sorrowfully as tears escaped his eyes and ran down his face.
"Hey Jack, you won't loose Kate, she'll be fine" Claire assured Jack.
XxXxxxxxXXXXxxxxxxXXXXxxxx
Kate didn't wake up that night or in the morning nor did she at all the next day.
Jack was beside himself, he didn't leave Kate's side once, he sat beside her holding her hands in his and placing soft kisses on her forehead .
The next morning Kate was showing signs that she might wake up soon, she was responding to Jack's touch and she was mumbling things in her sleep like state.
Jack went over to the other side of the infirmary to got some water, he hadn't drank anything in a day, the minute he left her side Kate began to flutter her eyes open.
She was startled at first not knowing where she was, when she saw Jack crouched in the corner rooting through supplies she felt much safer.
Kate closed her eyes again when Jack walked back over to her. He took her hand in his again and stroked the side of her face.
Kate opened her eyes again.
"Kate!"
Kate looked at Jack wide eyed like she had never seen him before.
"Who are you?…where am I!"
Jack fell back slightly at this "Oh god, she has amnesia" he thought to himself.
"Uh I'm Jack, we crashed on this island.. flight 8:15 Sydney to L.A ….. can you remember anything?" Jack was so hurt and disappointed at this "she doesn't remember anything, all that has happened here, all that has happened between us" Jack rubbed the back of his neck.
Kate began to smile "Just kidding Jack" she giggled
"What, why would you do that Kate, I can't believe you!" Jack said and stormed out of the infirmary.
"Awe come on Jack, I was just joking" Kate called after him "Crap!"
Jack popped his head around the corner "Just kidding" he laughed
"Now that was mean Jack!" she pouted.
"Well you started it…how are you feeling?"
"Surprisingly good actually, it doesn't feel like I was attacked by a bear at all" she said with a warm smile that melted Jack's soul.
Jack looked at Kate longingly, he smiled from ear to ear and walked over to Kate. He sat beside her "I'm so glad your ok Kate, I don't know what I would Have done if I lost you" He said and wrapped carefully around Kate.
She wrapped hers around his neck and sunk into the hug, it was the greatest feeling.
Jack .
He cupped Kate's face in his hands "How about we don't go on any dangerous adventures for a while ok"
"OK" she leaned into his soft touch.
Jack looked deep into Kate's emerald green eyes, he leaned in and passionately took her lips in his. Kate quickly returned the kiss….when Jack finally broke he was happy to hear Kate's little noise of protest.
"Thank you for looking after me Jack"
"Your very welcome…..I'm so glad your ok Katie" Kate giggled
"what?" he asked with an amused smile playing on his face.
"When you called me Katie, it made me feel all warm inside" Kate sid with a blush
"Maybe I could use it to my advantage" He said with a wink.
She shook her head and giggled again." So is there any chance of me getting up, I'm so stiff"
"Are you sure your up for it, you were out for 2 days "
"With you by my side, I'm sure I'll be fine" she told him and gave him a soft peck on the lips.
"OK….there are a lot of people who will glad to se your ok"
"A lot of people?" she said shocked
"Yes …Katie.."
"Will you stop that, it makes my heart skip a beat" she laughed
"OK"
Jack wrapped his arms around Kate's waist to support her. They walk out of the caves where Kate was welcomed by lots of hugs and smiles.
