Rating: PG-13
A/N: Written for the Lost Fic Battle.
Summary: Kate knows Jack could never accept the length she'll go to in order to survive.
She has blood on her face and a gun in her hands and her heart is beating so fast that it hurts. The man before her drops, the wet, red patch blooming all over his chest. She feels more alive now than she has in years.
And she feels his eyes upon her, wide and horrified.
This is me, Jack, she thinks. This is who I am. A killer, not a mother. Could you ever accept that?
It breaks her heart to know that he probably can't.
She lowers the gun to her side, still ready to shoot - to survive.
