Torture

I made my way back to the caves to see if Shannon was ok and her breathing was only getting heavier. I heard Boone yell. "Help! She's not breathing!" I was next to Jack and we both ran over. While we were getting over I looked at him. "I got it, try and find albuterol or anything to help from Sawyers stuff". He slowed down and I got to Shannon.

"Shannon, hey look at me" I brushed some of the hair out of her face. "Jacks trying to find some medication for you, but now I need you to listen to me. Look at me, you need to listen now. This isn't just the asthma. It's anxiety. It's in your head. You know your medications running out so your panicking. Shannon, look at me, but we can fight this. Together ok?"

She tried breathing and she was struggling but I continued to do it with her. "Great, Shannon, good, breathe in". Boone spoke up. "She needs her inhaler" I looked back. "No shit" I turned back to Shannon. "Breathe in through the nose, slowly". I saw Jack walking back but I knew he wouldn't come up to me now. "No, no in through the nose, like this" I showed her and she copied as well as she could. She was sobbing and gasping for air.

"Cmon Shannon, you can do it. I know you can. In through the nose. She closed her mouth and started to breathe through her nose. I looked at her. "Ya, there you go, ya you got it!" She readjusted. "See it's passing, ok again. In through the nose. I took breaths with her and smiled at her. "All right, perfect, just keep doing that, keep breathing like that, that's perfect, good job".

I stood up and walked over to Jack and Sayid. I heard Jack talking to Boone. "Keep her relaxed. Do not let her panic" I heard walk up to me. "Dude that was awesome, I mean that was like a Jedi moment" I laughed and drank some water. "And I'm not even a real nurse" I say Sayid run after Jack probably something about Sawyer.

I snuck out to try and eavesdrop on Jack and Sayids conversation. It was something about Sayid was going to make Sawyer give them the medicine. I didn't know how he thought he could but I had a feel no matter what Sayid did Sawyer wasn't going to give the medication up if it wasn't me asking for it.

I was at the beach when I saw Jack and Sayid carrying a knocked out Sawyer and Kate following them. "What are you doing?" I ran over to Kate put out my hands on her shoulder. "There getting the medication, it's Sawyers fault. She put her head on my shoulder and I leaned my head on hers. "I hate this island" I replied. "Don't we all".

Sawyer was awake and tied up onto a tree. I was hiding behind the trees. I could hear everything but I wasn't seen. "Well, ain't you the brave one? Jumping a guy while he's napping. I saw Jack and Sayid, Jack behind Sayid. "I'm in trouble now, ain't I?" Sawyer was the only one talking at this point.

Jack walked up to Sawyer. "Sawyer, we gave you the chance to do the right thing. Now all I want is the asthma medicine. Just tell me where the inhalers are and we'll stop. Sawyer responded. "Stop what, Chico?" I heard scraping, I couldn't see but I knew Sayid was sharpening something. "It doesn't have to be this way"

I knew "the way" that Jack was referring to torture. Sawyer looked at him. "Yeah, it does"Jack walked away and Sayid kneeled down to Sawyers level and spoke to him. "We do not have Bamboo in Iraq, although we do have something similar. Reeds. But their effect is the same, when the chutes are inserted underneath the fingernails. Sawyer looked up. "You now what I think, Ali?" Sayid nodded. "I think you've never tortured someone in your life" Sayid laughed. "You're wrong".

Sayid walked up behind Sawyer. Sayid must a sliced Sawyers skin and inserted the Bamboo into his wrist. Sawyer screamed and I looked away. I wasn't used to torture. I didn't do that, I didn't want to. Sawyer continued to groan. As much as I didn't like Sawyer, for some reason I didn't want to him to die

"That's it? That's all you got? Splinters. No wonder we kicked your ass in the Gulf" Sawyer asked. In which Sawyer screamed again. I looked down again as well. I thought about it. It was just a kiss after all. Sawyer continued to scream. Jack was yelling at Sayid. "Sayid, SAYID!"

Sayid stopped. "No don't stop now, I think my sinuses are clearing" Sawyer looked up and Jack walked up. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I looked to see Sayid put us the knife to Sawyers eye. "Perhaps losing an eye will loosen your tongue" Sawyer looked at the knife and Sayid placed it on his skin.

"Ok! Ok" Sayid kneeled down to Sawyers level. "Where is it?" Sayid kept pushing the knife onto Sawyers skin. "I'm only telling her" Jack looked at him but Sawyer looked out to wear I was hiding. "She's here, she's been here the whole time" Both Jack and Sayid looked back and saw me as I walked up to them.

I thought about how I might have to kiss Sawyer for the answer.
