CHAPTER 1
Her head hurt. It was throbbing relentlessly. She could feel something trickling down the side of her face. She tried to raise her arms but some form of bonds kept them captive. Pinned against her. Breathing slowly and trying to quell the rising panic inside her she slowly opened her eyes.
Only darkness greeted her. Pitch black darkness. It was so dark she couldn't see a thing. She could only feel the hard cool metal floor beneath her and the equally unyielding wall behind her back. The panic was still there. Growing by the moment. Taking hold of her body and gripping her in a deep sense of dread. Slowly she took a deep breath.
You'll be okay, Kate. Just breathe. In and out. Breathe.
In time with her thoughts her chest rose and fell slowly. Kate leaned her head back against the wall and closed her eyes again. At least with her eyes shut she could imagine the darkness was only in her mind.
The gripping panic slowly eroded away to be replaced by a slightly more calm sense of panic. A panic that had her desperately wondering where she was. The last thing she could remember was rushing towards Jack after Ethan knocked him out. After that her whole world had gone black. Then she'd woken up here alone in the darkness.
Ethan must have kidnapped me. I mean what else could have happened? But why would he do that? For the same reason he took Claire and Charlie obviously. For whatever reason that is. What if they're around here somewhere? If I could only get out of here.
Kate struggled anxiously against her bonds, but to no avail. Her hands were tied together tightly with some kind of cord and she could feel that the same was true for her feet. If that weren't enough her arms were pinned against her sides with rope that wrapped around her chest. Quite apparently no one wanted her to be able to go anywhere.
Why did this have to be happening? Wasn't it enough that they were stuck on this damn island without anywhere to go? Why did there have to be some freaky guy running around kidnapping people. Did they have enough to worry about on the island without this.
Left alone in the dark with only her thoughts she silently pleaded for help. But surprisingly the only person she thought of saving her wasn't the person she was expecting.
He was groaning slightly. Sawyer watched silently along with Sayid as Jack started to move. Jack's eyes opened gradually and he moved to sit up.
"I wouldn't try that doc." Sawyer warned right before Jack let out a groan and collapsed back down onto the ground.
He looked around the tent confusedly. His eyes settled on Sayid. "What happened? How'd I get back here? Where's Kate?"
Sawyer's face darkened slightly and he looked away from Jack. His fists by his side tightened slightly.
"Jack, you need to calm down." Sayid said calmly motioning for Jack to remain down. "You've been heavily injured and we can't have you injuring yourself anymore than you already are. We'll answer your questions then."
Jack looked around again and for the first time his eyes seemed to settle on Sawyer. "What are you doing here?" He asked his eyes hardening. "Enjoying the sight of seeing me beat up?"
"Can't say that I am, doc. Seein as how I ain't the one that gave you the beatin." Sawyer said his usual cocky self emerging.
Sayid sent a hard stare Sawyer's way. "This is not the time or place, Sawyer. If you are just going to be antagonizing Jack I think you should leave."
"Hell, I'll leave as soon as soon as the good doctor tells us what happened out there in the jungle and what the hell happened to……." Sawyer abruptly ended his outburst and glared angrily down at the ground.
Calm down boy before you lose it in front of em. I don't see why you care so much. It's just freckles. Ain't like there's anything special about her. She's just like any other girl. The same as the rest. Although she is a much better………focus Sawyer.
Scowling Sawyer broke out of his thoughts to catch some of Jack's words. "I remember fighting Ethan and then he got the upper hand. He must have knocked me out because everything went black. The next thing I know I woke up here. Did Kate come back and get you guys to come and get me? Is that how I got here?"
It was silent for a moment in the tent. "I'm afraid that's not quite what happened." Sayid said slowly. "Locke and Boone got back here and told us how the four of you split up. There was still no sign of you and Kate so we sent out a search party. Locke followed your trail and we found you lying unconscious in the mud. We figured we missed Kate going back to camp so we got you and headed back. But when we returned," Sayid stopped for a moment looking pained, and then started up again, "we've sent out more search parties since, but so far we haven't found anything."
Jack looked confused. "What, what are you saying?"
Jack's words were the last straw for Sawyer. Words came bubbling up from deep inside and he didn't bother to stop them. "He's sayin freckles is gone, doc. After Ethan knocked you out he musta grabbed her and made off with her too. That's what he's sayin. Freckles is gone."
