Jack, Kate and Sawyer had just returned from the Other's Camp and everything was looking a bit confused. Juliet was at their camp now, Jack would hang out with her all the time and Sawyer and Kate had had a small fight on their way back.

It was getting dark already and Kate have been feeling like she was getting sick. Her throat was hurting so much, she hasnt felt like eating the whole day and she feels like her skin was burning. She decided to go take a nap, that day had been so stressful.

After some minutes she falls asleep and what for her seemed like only a couple of minutes, was actually around four hours. She woke startled, she just had a nightmare and she was still scared. Her head was spinning so hard.

She slowly stood up and dragged herself to James' tent. She got in. "Can I come in?" She asked with a weak voice.

Sawyer took his glasses out, put the book he was reading aside and took a look on her. "Damn Freckles, you look awful" He blew out making her sit on the ground. Kate was completely pale, sweaty and sounding pretty fragile.

"That was such a nice thing to say" She sighed.

"Im sorry, but I think I've never seen you like this." He approached her a little. "Was wrong?" He asked, concerned.

"Im just.." She looked down. "Can I stay here tonight?" She didnt want to tell him something was wrong.

"Sure you can, but if you're feeling sick we might go to Doc so he can take a look on you." He completed.

"Im fine, Sawyer!" She said firmly, what made him even worrier. She was clearly sick, but she wont ever admit it. Sawyer sighed.

"If you say so... Come here." He reached his hand for her so she could lay down closer to him. She slowly moved herself to his side and as soon as she laid down, she closed her eyes.

James placed a hand on her back and also laid down. He grabbed his book and kept reading until he finally started to feel asleep. Sawyer blew up out the candle that was lighting up the tent and closed his eyes.

He had just feel asleep when he woke up startled with Kate coughing hardly. He caught her when she suddenly puked all over the blanket and turned away when she realized he saw that. "Im sorry." Her tearful voice came up, she was not looking at him.

James shook his head. "Hey, Freckles, its all good. I was about to wash it anyways."He said trying to cheer her up, while he carefully pulled the blanket from her lap. "Are you feeling alright?" He knew the answer though. Kate nodded.

"Im just feeling a bit weird all day, but Im okay." The brunette hugged her own legs because of the cold, and James finished folding the dirty blanket and threw it outside.

"You sure you dont want Doc to take a look on you?" He tried once more, he knew how stubborn Kate can be.

"There is no need." That made Sawyer sighs.

"So that forces the doctor here to take a look on you myself." He says approaching her, and the fugitive frowned.

"You`re not a doctor." She shook her head slightly but James stopped her, cupping her face.

"You never know." He said joking, while feeling her temperature with a hand on her forehead. She was warmer than he thought. His face changed immediately. "Im getting worried about you, Kate."

She turned her face away. "I told you a hundred times Im going to be fine! Stop telling me you`re worried and that I need to see Jack." She was getting impatient now, and her voice had a mix of angry and sadness on it.

"You shouldnt get mad if Im worried about you, you took me to Jack how many times already when I got sick?' He asked slowly pulling her to rest her head on him.

"That was different..." Kate didnt fight against James pulling her close, she actually seemes to like it.

"How was that different?" He asked soflty, looking at her and her eyes filled with tears.

"I dont know" She was just so tired, and weak and he was pushing her into something she didnt want. Jack and her were pretty distant since they came back from the Other`s camp. He was apparently best friends with Juliet now, and that was killing her. She quickly rubbed her eyes before the tears could fall.

"Hey,its okay , its okay." Sawyer decided to quit asking her questions for now. "You're right. Let try to sleep for the rest of the night. Tomorrow you will feel fetter." He forced her a smile.

The girl nodded and slowly closed her eyes again, while leaning her head agaisnt his chest. She was feeling exhausted. Sawyer moved himself in a more comfortable position.

He rubbed her back while he tried to go back to sleep again when all of a sudden Kate sits up, and cant help but throwing up again, this time it got a bit on her clothes.

Sawyer watched her, startled. Everything happened so fast. When he realized Kate was crying this time, his heart broke. "Freckles, what did you eat that made you like that?" He asked while the girl was sobbing. "Hey its okay, why are you crying? There is no need for that, right?" "James said wiping off her tears with his thumbs.

"Im sorry" She apologized again and he shooke his head.

"For what, for this?" He pointed ou to the place she threw up. "Thats the good thing of having sand as your floor."He stood up and using some big leaves he got the dirty sand and throw them out of the tent. "All clean."He said smiling and sat in front of her. That made her smile a little.

"Wanna change your clothes, Freckles?" He asked with a smirk and she rolled her eyes.

"You wish." Kate said it with a frown in her face and Sawyer sighed.

"Hey, I wasnt thinking anything dirty this time." He explained with a funny voice and chuckles. "I can lend you a something."He opened his bag and handled her a blue shirt. She hesitated but ended up getting it.

"Need some help?" He asked with the same smirk.

"Sawyer!" She raged at him, and that makes him giggle. He turned arond though.
"Fine, I was just trying to be useful."He kept joking as she was changing.

"Okay, Im done." She said with a soft voice, and James turned back to her. "Hmm, do you want to take a walk ?" Kate asks biting her bottom lip.

He chuckled. "Are you aware now its 3am?" She nodded.

"I need to go to the bathroom." She sighed while she ended up telling him.

"Alright." James said a little annoyed, but not showing it to her. He was pretty tired, he had been able to sleep since she decided do join him in his tent. He wasnt complaining about it in his mind, but definitely talking a walk right now wasn't in his plans. He gave her a hand to help her to her feet and they both left the tent.

"You need to throw up again?" He asked curiously while they walk towards the forest.

Kate shocked her head. "Just bathroom." She said and gave him a look. "I'll be right back."
The brunette got into the jungle, right behind a bush and relieved herself. She had just finished putting her pants on when she heard a noise, as if someone was walking and had stepped on a branch. She quickly turned. "Is that you, Sawyer?"

No one answered. "Sawyer, that`s not funny." Her breathe started to get heavy. "Sawyer?" She asked one more, her voice cracking already. "Sa-"

She was interrupted by the form of a man, approaching her. She stepped back as she felt he was approaching her. He kept going, when he went to a more bright spot and she could see his face.
It was Wayne.
