I know it's really short, and I'm sorry, but I'm being kicked off to go to bed. it's 10PM. Anyway, here's a little because I didn't want to break my promise, I'll have more up ASAP tomorrow, I promise. Thank you so much for you kind and great reviews, I'm not ignoring you! I'm just really, really bad at multi tasking.
Chapter 4, Part 1
Vaughn rushed over to the trembling form and crouched down next to the chair, almost afraid to touch the woman sitting there. What if it was her? What if it wasn’t? Jack saw Vaughn’s hesitation, and he understood. In about five seconds both of their hopes had skyrocketed, and Jack understood Vaughn’s fears of them being crushed. He then stepped over to where Vaughn was crouched.
“Sydney?” He asked tentitavely, touching her arm ever so slightly. Immediatly her arm flew out and grabbed Jack’s wrist, twisting it. However, Jack’s reflexes also kicked in, and he turned with her hand so as not to be hurt. After that quick movement, Sydney slowly lifed her head up. Everyone was taken aback at her pale and beaten features.
“Dad?” She asked timidly.
"Sydney? Oh god, what did they do to you?" As Jack asked this, tears began to flow freely from her eyes. Vaughn couldn't take it anymore, and he instinctivly wrapped her in his arms, but jerked away immedialy when he heard her gasp in pain. Vaughn's eyes grew wide in fear for her.
