A/N: ANother chapter from me. If you want something to happen, please include it and I could add it if it will fit with the timeline. I'm not sticking to the TV show anymore, but if you are wondering we're up to the ep before The Moth. Sorry if everyone seems OOC, I've beem trying to get them in character, but it's hard. Jack will butt in a lot before Sawyer talks if I can't think of anything smart.
Disclaimer: I don't own Lost, I only own ppl that come from this chapter that don't come from the series.
As Kate's leg healed she went into the jungle with Sawyer to collect fruit and other things she could find. He normally just stood at the base of the tree, catching mangoes and other things that she threw at him. When they had gathered enough for the camp they headed back, both silent.
They found the food table and poured the contents of the bag onto it, making sure they wouldn't fall off.
"Thanks, for coming out again," Kate said awkwardly, "I mean, I'd go on my own but, my leg's still healing and…"
She stopped when Sawyer raised his eyebrows at her.
"What?" she asked and he smirked, about to say something.
"Okay, we're leaving for the caves, you sure you don't want to come?" Jack asked Kate and she sighed
"I'm pretty sure," she said and Jack nodded, starting to head towards the jungle.
"What is it with you and him anyway?" Sawyer asked
"What?"
"Why is he so…protective of ya," Sawyer asked
"What…are you jealous" she said with a smile
"Course not, it's just that…never mind," he said, embarrassed and Kate smiled, walking away.
Sawyer made his way back to his tent, mentally kicking himself for being an idiot. He stepped inside, looking around for a book or something that would calm him slightly.
Kate grinned to herself as she walked over to the water and sat down, looking over the water for some kind of boat or even something that resembled a boat. After a couple of minutes she sighed and stood up. It was getting darker and the fire had almost gone out, so she piled some logs onto it and waited for it to light up again, sitting near it.
A lot of other people came over as well, warming themselves and talking quietly. She looked over at Sawyer's tent but he hadn't come out yet. She looked at her blonde hair with disgust, pulling the long strands away from her face.
"Are you a natural blonde?" Claire asked, coming to sit down next to her
"No…why?" Kate asked, panicking slightly
"No reason, you just don't look like one," Claire said and Kate breathed slower, trying to calm her nerves.
"So…what is your real hair colour?" Claire asked
"Brown…are you a natural blonde?" Kate asked, studying Claire's hair
"No, I used to have black hair…before, well, before I met my real dad," Claire said and Kate nodded.
Kate looked over at Sawyer's tent again and saw the flaps open slightly, then he stepped out and smiled. He walked over to them, sitting down next to Kate and taking out a cigarette from his back pocket.
"Stop that," Kate said, giving him a glare
He glared back, lighting it and smirking. She took it out of his mouth and chucked it in the fire, smiling slyly at him. He glared at her again and Claire giggled, making them both to look at her.
"Were you guys together before the crash?" she asked and Kate thought for a second before shaking her head.
"No…we're barely together now," she said, leaning back onto his shoulder.
Claire smiled and looked out to sea.
"What's that?" she said after a couple of minutes
Everyone looked up, searching the ocean in the darkness.
"What?" Someone asked
"There!" she said, getting up and pointing
"I see it!" Walt said and then a lot of other people exclaimed that they saw it too. "But…what is it?"
Nobody knew and Kate looked around for something, finally finding a piece of rope. She ran to the water, taking her shoes off and diving into the water, Sawyer yelling at her to come back. He jumped in too, grabbing her round the waist.
"Let go!" she shouted, kicking free, now able to see the thing floating in the water.
It was a girl, bobbing in the water on a piece of driftwood. Kate swam towards her, tying the rope around the girls waist and then around her own hand. Sawyer held the girls head up as they swam, while Kate pulled her along with the rope.
When they reached the shore Sawyer placed her away from the water, checking that she was still breathing. He sighed and leaned back, wiping his hair from his face.
"We need to get Jack….Charlie! Go get Jack, tell him we found someone!" Kate yelled and Charlie nodded, sprinting into the jungle.
Kate kneeled next to Sawyer, looking at the girl curiously.
"How old do you think she is?" Kate asked
"I dunno" he said after a while.
Kate nodded and suddenly Jack came onto the beach, spotting the girl and running towards them, taking his backpack off.
"Where'd you find her?" he asked, checking her breathing
"In the ocean, floating on some driftwood…" Kate said
"Do you recognize her….maybe from the plane or anything?" Jack asked but Kate shook her head.
"We'll put her in the old medical tent, until she wakes up," Jack said and Sawyer nodded, lifting her up and placing her onto the small bed that was set up.
Jack sat on the airplane chair next to the bed and Kate and Sawyer stood near the door, Kate's hand resting lightly on Sawyer's shoulder. Suddenly the girl stirred, moaning slightly. Jack stood up, moving closer. She opened her eyes fully and sat up, looking around in horror at everyone
"Hey, it's okay…we're not gonna hurt you," Jack said and she inched away closing her eyes, "Are you okay?"
"Where's my mum?" she asked worriedly, finally opening her eyes
"Was she on the plane?" Kate asked and she shook her head
"I don't know what happened…I was in the car with my mum…then…I was on a cruise of some sort and then I can't remember anything else," she said, looking at them
"Do you remember your moms' name?" Jack asked
"Um….Cassidy…..Cassidy Philips," she said and Sawyer shifted awkwardly
"What's your name?" Kate asked
"Clementine…" she said,
"We don't know where your mom is, we found you in the ocean," Jack said softly and Clementine's eyes filled with tears.
"Don't worry…when we get off this island we'll find her," Kate said
"What island?" she asked
"We crashed on an island…about 7 or 8 days ago." Kate said and the girl looked even more worried.
"Don't worry…rescue will come soon…then we'll get you back to your mom…" Sawyer said gruffly, walking out of the tent.
