Sorry for the huge time gap in chapter updates, but I'm happy that some of you nagged me it lets me know that you want to read more:)So nag away!
Now, before you read this chapter I know that some of you will not like it, but I feel that with a plot like this one things have to get worse before they get better.
As her mind drifted to the events that lead up to her current state of entrapment. She began to feel the anger towards him return; the anger even grew stronger towards her husband due to the fact that he had her locked up in this room for three days now. Kate was sure if she had not been pregnant that he would have locked her up without any food or water.
It all started four days ago on a frigid winter morning.
Kate was in the Kitchen with Rose and the younger maid Ana who was cold and distant towards her since day one. Yet Kate could feel her guard breaking, before Ana would barely speak a word to her and now she used whole sentences no matter how blunt and short lived they may have been.
Kate was watching the two woman prepare breakfast, when all of a sudden a young boy came rushing in towards Ana yelling Mommy, Mommy.
Kate had a perplexed look on her face, "Ana I was unaware that you had a son?"
After hugging her son she glared at Kate letting her know that her son was none of her business, but Kate couldn't help it she was intrigued by this new found information. Since Ana would not speak to her, she thought she might have better luck with Rose. Kate went over by the older woman and whispered to her. "Who is the father Rose? I did not know that Ana was married? "
There was something about this question that caused Rose to freeze and a panicked look crossed her face, but she quickly controlled herself. "oh don't be silly, Ana would never marry. I believe the father is one of the stable boys that she has been with."
Kate's attention was soon brought to the little boy who was pulling on her dress, "What's your name?" the little boy asked. His big brown eyes staring up at Kate, there was something so familiar about him and those eyes. Then it hit her all at once Kate would no those big brown eyes anywhere. Kate took a couple steps back away from the boy. Trying to keep her cool she answered the little boy, "I'm Kate."
Before the boy could say anything else she was off and if it had not been for her pregnancies Rose would have not caught up with her.
"Where do you think your going little missy, you know that you can not go outside in your current condition. Master Shepherd forbids it." Rose had a hold of one of her arms and was moving back to the kitchen, but before Rose could move any further Kate yanked her arm away.
"I don't give a hell what he says!"
Rose was taken aback by this sudden passionate rage in the normally lifeless girl.
"Since I have been here I have to do everything that he tells me to do. If he says stand, I stand. If says eat, I eat. If wants my body, he has my body. Then he can do whatever he god well pleases. Including sleeping with whoever strikes his fancy!"
"Your just a little girl who has no clue what she is talking about."
" Shut it Rose! You God damn well know that is Jack's son in there and don't tell me otherwise! Now, I'm going outside so I can clear my head and if anyone has a problem with it they can go to hell!"
Rose was so baffled by her out burst that all she could do was just stand there in shock as Kate walked outside.
Kate had been walking around in the bitter cold for 30 minutes and she was already losing feeling in her fingers and her nose felt like it was about to fall off, but it was still a better feeling than being in that suffocating mansion.
"Well hey there Freckles long time no see." His smug voice coming out crystal clear, causing Kate to spin around facing the man for the first time since the attack.
Snow had begun to fall and it was catching in her brown curls. He continued to speak as she just stood there looking at Sawyer with an unreadable expression on her face.
"Well it looks like old Jackie wasted no time in getting you knocked up. That has to be a record for him, you must feel honored." He said with a chuckle and then began to move closer to her.
" Please, don't hurt me." the words came out shaky.
Sawyer looked at her sadly and then he huffed out, "Don't worry I'm not going to touch you. The only reason I went after you before well one I was drunk and two I knew that it would piss him off. You know I'm really not that bad of a guy once you get to know me."
The statement caused Kate to roll her eyes at him.
"Trust me I'm really not all that different from that husband of yours."
Kate was not sure why, but she felt this urge to stand up for her husband, " You and Jack are nothing a like! Don't even try to compare yourself to him!"
Sawyer busted out with laughter, " Your funny as you are cute . Let me tell you this sweet cheeks Jack and I go way back since we were kids. Just like any warm blooded man the things jack wants in life are simple he wants power, money and as many woman that he can have. Now, can you tell me any differently ?"
Kate just looked downward and shook her head no.
"That's what I thought. Sorry freckles this is a man's world and all a woman can do is just lie down and take it."
Kate then brought her gaze to him and her watery green eyes getting to him more than he would ever admit.
" Look I did not come here to brother you. I came to deliver a message, tell that husband of yours that I'm now working for Ben Linus now and he better watch himself."
" What the hell makes you think that I'm going to tell him that. God he would have me tied up and locked away if knew that I talked to you."
"Well then tell his guard dog Rose, she be more than happy to warn her Master."
Now, Kate was the one who busted out in laughter, causing Sawyer to join along with her. The edge of the situations disappearing as their laughter grew louder.
Finally there laughter died down and Sawyer spoke giving her his dimpled smile, "See you around Freckles."
Kate lay in his bed eyes wide open, sleep not coming easy to her tonight. Jack had not turned in yet she assumed he was with Juliet or Sarah, but now he could be with Ana or hell he could be with some woman that she did not even know.
Kate had decided that Sawyer was right about men and that Jack never really cared for her and sure he may try to care, but it was not in his nature. All she was to him was a possession, something to be owned and controlled. She would be a fool to think otherwise.
Finally he entered the bedroom smelling of wine and sex. He had gone to one of those many dinner parties tonight and she knew that he had been with Juliet then. Most nights after being with another woman he would come in take shower and then join her in the bed and wrap his arms around her then fall asleep, but not tonight he was probably to drunk to even make to the shower Kate thought.
He moved right over pulling her close to him. "Kate I need you" he breathed out. The stale wine smell coming off his breath.
This statement drove her mad, his touch was making her want to turn around and punch him, but she knew that she could not do that so she would have to use words to change his mind, " Jack I don't see how you could want me I'm huge, certainly no desire for a man."
" I don't what it is Kate normally I have no desire for a woman when she this pregnant, but there is something about you being pregnant that just turns me on."
He was now making a move to remove her panties and Kate could longer be civil with him any longer. She rolled out of the bed, "Well Jack maybe I don't have a desire for you when you come in smelling of sex that you just had with another woman!"
Jack's lust filled eyes quickly turned into confused and then fury.
" Kate I don't know where any of this is coming from. You know that I have my nights with my other wives. This has never bothered you before."
"That is where your wrong Jack it has always bothered me! I was to busy trying to be a proper lady that I did not stand up for myself, but now I don't give a damn! Sawyer was right about you all you care about is power, money and sleeping with many woman as possible."
"What did you say! When the hell did you talk to him! You God damn well know that you are never to speak to him! I don't see how you can say such horrible words that are not true. I love you Kate."
" Oh this is rich! I can't even talk to another man, but you can fuck anything that moves! Tell me this Jack how can you love someone when you don't even understand the meaning of the word?"
Jack looked at with sad eyes, "Juliet was right about you. She tired and tired to tell me that you did not respect me as the Master, but I stood up for. Telling her that you where young and still learning how to be a proper wife and lady, but now I'm thinking age has nothing to do with it and it is more a matter of who you are as a person. So tell me Kate?"
Kate looked at him dead in the eyes and in cold hurtful manner she spit out the words, "She is right, I don't respect you."
At this Jack lost it gripping her by the arm and leading her up stairs to the room that soon would confine her, " I don't give a damn who you are or what you think! I will make you respect me and my demands!" Jack then forcefully set her on the bed in the small bare room, but even in his angered state he never hurt her.
" I'm leaving you up her to think about how horrible of a wife that you have been!" With that Jack left slamming the door behind him.
What Jack had intended had the opposite effect on Kate and all she could think about was how horrible of a husband he had been to her.
Rose been the one taking meals to Kate and she would journey up the stairs three times a day.
Her Master had been so distraught and confused when he came to her telling her that she would have to care for Kate and that she was locked up.
" I just don't understand where all this is coming from Rose? Does she really hate me that much?"
" I think I might know where it came from?"
"Rose you must tell me?"
" Your not going to like this, but she found out about Ana and the son that you two share. Master Shepherd, may I just say I don't think that she hates you in fact I think it is the opposite and that is why she acted so strongly to the information." Rose was not sure why she was telling him this, but it killed her to see him so sad.
Rose continued when he did not offer up a response, " Master Shepherd I know it is not place , but I would like to give you some advice if that is ok?"
" Yes please Rose. I could really use some help with this one."
Out of nowhere she smacked him in the back of the head.
"Rose! What was that for?"
" You're a damn fool boy! Thinking you had any business bringing that poor girl here! What happened was you saw yourself a beautiful wild horse and you just had to have it, but everyone knows that it is almost nearly impossible to break a wild horse. You should have stuck with tame ones. Now she is pregnant and you're stuck with a woman who is miserable and that should be free of this lifestyle."
" You may be right about a lot of it, but there is one thing your wrong about. I never had a choice when it came to Kate. I'm just going have to break her till she no longer craves being free and she will respect me."
Rose was now on her third and final trip up the stairs bringing Kate her dinner. Rose no longer felt jealous of her, but she now saw her in a new light one that she could relate to.
Kate was right about her Master everyone including her had to follow his demands, while he did whatever pleased him. She knew all this before and it never bothered her, but seeing how far he could and would go to have another human being follow his orders made her rethink just how wonderful her Master really was.
When she entered the little cold room, Kate had her back to her she was looking out the window in deep thought.
Rose cleared her throat, "Food is here honey."
Kate smiled at her, "Thanks Rose."
" Your welcome Kate."
A huge smile spread across the young woman's face.
" What? Why are looking at me like that?"
" You called me Kate. You haven't called me Kate since my first day here."
" Did I ever tell you that you are one crazy girl?"
Kate laughed at the older woman, "Only every day."
The two shared a laugh.
All of a sudden Kate became wide eyed and panic came through her eyes.
Rose quickly came to her at once, "What's wrong dear?"
" Rose my water just broke!"
