"Drop…your…sword."

Locke didn't want to argue, so he let his sword go and it hit the ground with a loud CLUNK!

"Sit," Charlie pointed at the chair nearby and Locke didn't object to that either.

"Now tie him up," Charlie instructed Claire, who grabbed a rope from the curtains and tied Locke up. "And make it as tight as you like."

With that, she pulled it hard against his stomach, letting a loud "OOOF!" out of Locke's mouth.

Just as she was finished, the sound of footsteps was suddenly heard. Charlie prepared himself for any guards.

To his relief, it was Sawyer, clutching his stomach, where the knife hit.

"You!" Claire shouted as she recognized him.

"Howdy, princess," Sawyer greeted her before looking at Charlie. "Where's Eko?"

"I thought he was with you."

Sawyer shrugged. "I thought he was with YOU."

Looking at the two men, it took a while for Claire to register that Sawyer was on Charlie's side now.

"Well in that case…" Charlie was about to walk over to him, but his legs gave in and he fell to the floor.

Sawyer sighed as he looked towards Claire. "Help him."

"Why?" Claire asked as she went over to him. "Why does he need helping?"

"Because he doesn't have any strength."

"I KNEW IT!" Locke shouted. "I knew you were bluffing…"

He stayed silent as the tip of Sawyer's sword was pointing at his throat.

"Shut up, or I'll dispatch you."

"No, Sawyer," Charlie instructed as Claire helped him up. "Whatever happens to us, I want him to live a long life, alone with his cowardice."

Sawyer nodded in understanding as he sheathed his sword.

"SAWYER! SAWYER! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

The voice was coming from outside. Sawyer, Charlie, and Claire went to the window and saw Eko with four white horses.

"Ah! There you are. I saw the prince's stable, and saw these white horses. I thought they were beautiful. And since there are four of them and four of us…that is once we find the woman…Ah! There she is!"

He smiled at her and she smiled back.

"So I decided to bring them with me, so I'd have them when we saw each other again."

The three of them smiled.

"That's great, Eko!" Sawyer called out.

"Good work!" Charlie called out before he helped Claire on top of the window sill.

She looked at him, with uncertainty in her eyes.

"I trust him with my life," Charlie reassured her.

She smiled and leapt off the window sill and into Eko's arms. Charlie then motioned Sawyer to go next. But Sawyer only frowned.

"You know. It's funny. I've been in the revenge business for so long. Now that it's over, I don't know what to do with the rest of my life."

Charlie smiled as an idea struck him. "Ever considered piracy? You'd make an excellent Dread Pirate Sayid."

And with that, Charlie leapt into Eko's arms. Sawyer raised his eyebrows as he considered Charlie's offer.

"Not bad," he muttered before following him.

Once all four were on the ground, they mounted the horses and rode off. They rode to freedom. And as dawn arose, Charlie and Claire knew they were safe. A wave of love swept over them. And as they reached for each other…

Kate closed her laptop.

"What?" Aaron asked. "What happens?"

"It's just kissing," she said to him. "You don't wanna hear that."

"Mommy. I don't mind so much."

Kate looked at him incredulously and smiled. "Alright then."

She lifted her laptop and finished.

Since the invention of the kiss, there were five kisses that were rated the most passionate. The most pure. This one left them all behind.

"The end."

And she closed her laptop. This time she was officially done. And she smiled at the little boy in her lap that smiled back.

"Did you like that?"

Aaron nodded.

"Good. But now I think we should go to bed now."
"Okay."

"Alright, buddy. C'mon."

With that, she lifted Aaron off her lap and carried him to his room, placed him on his bed, and tucked him in.

"Mommy?"

"Yeah?"

"Would you read it again tomorrow?"

Kate smiled. She was suddenly back on that island, delivering Claire's baby, keeping both Aaron and Claire safe from danger, and tears were formed as she thought back to when she heard Charlie died, then later Claire (A/N: I'm assuming Claire dies later in the series).

She never thought she'd be a mother, but it was the best feeling she ever had.

She kissed Aaron's forehead and smiled.

"As you wish."

The End
