Chapter 9-Locked Up

Izzi shouldn’t have taunted Ben about putting her in a cage to keep her in the village. He had done her one better; he put her in a cell.

After seeing her library burn to the ground Izzi had let Ben take her to his house. He had laid her in his bed and told her to try to sleep. Izzi didn’t think she would ever sleep again but exhaustion took over and she was out. She didn’t know how long she stayed in that bed but every time she would wake up Ben was by her side. While he took care of her Izzi saw the Ben she had known before she found out the truth, the Ben she had fallen in love with. But he wasn’t that Ben anymore.

Izzi took five long days to get over her grief of what happened to the library. She also took the time to come to terms that she might never get off of the island. She most likely would never see her family or her friends again.

On the sixth day she asked Ben if he would take her for a walk outside. Being inside his tidy, but small bedroom for days on end was beginning to drive her crazy.

Ben was wary but decided she couldn’t do much harm. She looked innocent enough in her long cotton nightgown. After all, where was she going to go?

Izzi held Ben’s arm as they walked around the courtyard. She looked across the clearing as saw that a large group of men from the village were working hard to clear the wreckage of the library. Ben noticed her watching them and led her in the opposite direction to the gazebo. He sat her down on one of the benches and took his place next to her.


Izzi was looking off into the distance when Ben’s calm voice brought her back.

“I remember the first time I saw you Izelle; your first day here. You were sitting right here on this bench. You looked so lost. I remember thinking you were beautiful. Sure, I had seen you in pictures, but nothing could have prepared me for that day. You took my breath away.”

Izzi shook her head as she felt tears coming to her eyes. How had all of this happened?

“Izelle,” Ben said gently grasping her chin and turning her face to him. “I don’t want you to think that you were chosen just because of the way you look. There was no line up of pictures set up for me to choose the prettiest face. I chose you because of who you are. You are intelligent, extremely hard working, you feel passion for the things that you love, and you’re stubborn. My, are you stubborn. I chose you because I admire all of these things in you. You are the ideal wife for who I am. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you sitting here in this very spot. Though I am sorry it had to happen this way, I can’t say that I regret anything I have done to get you here with me.”

Tears were falling freely from Izzi’s eyes. No one had ever claimed such love for her. No one had ever said anything so perfect to her.

“Ben, do you remember the first time you held my hand?”

“Of course, when you came to dinner at my house.”

Izzi smiled up at him, “That is when I knew that I was in love with you. I felt safe with you. I thought that as long as you were next to me holding my hand that no harm would ever come to me. I loved you for making me feel that way.”

“Izelle,” Ben whispered as he took her hand.

Izzi sighed, “Why Ben?”

“Why what?”

“Why couldn’t you have been just some nice older man who I fell in love with? We could have been happy, really happy. We could have had a family. But you’re not that are you? No, you are a leader. A harsh, strict leader who puts this island above anything else.”

“Izelle, we can still have all of that. I can make you happy, if you let me try.” Ben pleaded holding her hand tighter.

“We can’t Ben, we can’t. I might love you despite what you have done to me, but I can’t forgive you for it. I can’t stay here and pretend that you didn’t drug and kidnap me to get me here. I can’t pretend that the last three months I haven’t been lied to about everything. I can’t pretend that you’ll be a good husband who will put me before his work. I can’t live a lie for the rest of my life Ben.”

“Izelle, please, what can I do to make you see that what I feel is real? What will it take to make you understand?”

Izzi removed her hand from his grasp, “I’m sorry Ben.”

“What are you sorry for Izelle?” he asked.

“For this.” She said as she punched him as hard as she could.

He hadn’t expected that and he went down hard. Izzi ran for her life; again.


She was caught, of course, at the fence. She had tried finding a way around it but short of walking through it there was no way she could think of.

Five times she ran away, some how managing to overpower whoever was with her. Five times she was brought back.

They finally put her in the cell. She would have never guessed that behind the door of Ben’s guest room there was a cell. It covered over half of the room and had bars and everything.

Izzi was furious that Ben had put her in here. She should have believed him when he told her he could arrange locking her up.

Izzi was in her cell, pacing like she normally did when she heard the door to the room open. She saw Ben come inside. The black eye she had given him after he told her he loved her was just beginning to fade.

“Good morning Izelle.” Ben said as he sat down in a chair across from the cell.

“Go to hell Ben.” Izzi answered.

Ben wasn’t fazed, he never was. She could call him every vile thing under the sun and he wouldn’t get upset. He thought it was amusing.

“You know I hate seeing you behind those bars Izelle, if you would just listen to reason I could let you out.”

“Let me out Ben, and I’ll just leave again.”

“Yes, I see how successful you have been with escaping.” He smirked.

Izzi glared back at him.

“You know what I don’t understand? I don’t understand how you could sit there and listen to me pour my soul out to you. Then on top of that you tell me that you love me in return and then you run away from me.”

“You forgot the part where I punched you.”

“Yes, yes thank you for that dear.”

“Izelle, I love you and you love me, I know you do. Why must we continue to play this game?’

“Ben, this isn’t a game, this is my life. How can you expect me to just walk away from everything I know?”

“Because I asked you too Izelle. Why can’t that be enough? I’ve told you time and time again that I would give you the world if you would just allow me to.” Ben said as he stood up and came up to the cell.

“I can’t forgive you Ben, I just can’t.”

“You’re going to have to find a way, Izelle. I am losing my patience with you.” He said as he turned his back on her and walked out the door, nearly slamming it behind him.


Izzi stayed in the cell for weeks. Each day she felt her sanity leaving her a little more. She didn’t know what to do. She did love Ben and she thought that they might be able to have a life here on the island together. But she still couldn’t get over all of the lies and deceit. How could she trust the man who had lied just to get her here? Could she look past all of the betrayal and see the man behind it? She was beginning to see he did things for a reason, he didn’t act on whims. And he did care for her. But could she do it? Could she put all that happened in the past and start a new life with Ben?

While she was in the cell a number of people came to see her. Ethan had been the first, telling her how sorry he was about the library. Tom would come in every few days and tell her stories about Ben when they had been younger. Izzi liked Tom, he was friendly and terribly funny, plus he was fiercely protective of Ben.

Izzi did get a surprise when one day a young girl came into the room. She couldn’t have been more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

“So, you’re her. You’re the woman my dad wants to marry next.”

“Your dad? Wait; next?” Izzi said, confused.

“Ben is my dad.”

“What is your name?” Izzi asked.

“Alex.” The girl answered. Izzi could tell this was no ordinary teenager. She was far beyond her years.

“Well, Alex, I’m Izzi. It’s nice to meet you.” She said from behind the bars of her cell.

“He didn’t tell you about me did he?” Alex asked.

Izzi shook her head, “No, he didn’t. But then, I have been keeping him busy.”

“You don’t have to defend him. He has you locked up in a cell for Christ’s sake. I know how he is, the kinds of things he does.”

“But he loves you right? He treats you well?” Izzi said looking at the girl. She had Ben’s beautiful blue eyes.

“Yes, he does. He is a good father, and a good man.”

“Thank you Alex.” Izzi said moving to sit on her cot.

“Izzi?”

“Yes, Alex?”

“When you come out of here, we can talk more right?”

Izzi smiled, “Of course. I can’t wait.”

“Bye Izzi.” Alex said as she opened the door to leave.


“A daughter Ben, you have a daughter? When were planning on telling me that? After you forced me to marry you?” Izzi was angry, very angry and for the last half hour she had been screaming at Ben.

“I wanted to wait for the right time Izelle.” He said impassively from behind the desk outside of her cell.

“The right time would have been when we first started seeing each other Ben! And she said that you had been married before! What the hell Ben? Were you going to tell me anything?”

At this Ben was surprised. He hadn’t counted on Alex saying anything about his previous marriage.

“Who was it Ben? Was it Alex’s mother, or was it someone else? Is she still alive, is she on this island?”

“Who is was is irrelevant Izelle.” Ben said without looking at her.

“You know, I didn’t think it was possible, but I hate you even more now. If you really loved me you wouldn’t treat me like this, you wouldn’t keep these kinds of things from me.”

Ben stood up quickly his chair clattering to the floor, “Don’t you dare tell me how I should be because I love you. You love me and you act like a child! You don’t have any regard for how I feel in all of this, do you? Do you even think of how your actions affect me? I didn’t tell you about Alex because I didn’t want her to get hurt. I was protecting my child.”

Izzi took a deep breath ready to yell at him some more but she didn’t get the chance. Juliet opened the door and strode inside with Tom behind her.

“All this yelling, the whole village can hear you two going at each other.” She said with a smirk as she faced Izzi.

Izzi felt her blood begin to boil. She hadn’t seen Juliet since she burned down her library.

“Ben, get her out of here please.” Izzi said glancing at him.

But Ben was still angry and he ignored her.

“I just wanted to chat Izzi. You don’t mind if I come in there to chat do you?” Juliet said as she pulled a key from her pocket and began to unlock the cell.

Izzi felt her face flush, “Ben, don’t let her in here. Please Ben.” She pleaded.

Ben wasn’t listening to her anymore. He was standing by Tom watching the scene unfold.

Juliet began to pull the heavy door open.

“Ben, if she comes in here, I’ll kill her.”

Juliet laughed as she walked into the cell, “What makes you think you could ever kill me?”

“You set my library on fire.”

“It wasn’t needed any more.”

“You drugged me to get me on the island.”

“Yes, that was fun, but I was following orders.”

“And from the way you seem to loathe the very ground I walk on, I would say that you are the woman Ben was married to before he got rid of you for me.”

Juliet paled.

“I have good reasons to dislike you Juliet. But you know, it wasn’t really your fault you drugged me, like you said you were following orders. And I couldn’t care less that you used to be married to Ben, although it does make me happy to see you so miserable about it. You see, the reason I really dislike you is because you destroyed my library. You set aflame all of my hard work because you wanted to get back at me for something I had no control over. This is the reason I could kill you, and I wouldn’t even feel sorry about it.”

“Izzi, you don’t mean that.” Tom said from his spot next to Ben.

“Don’t I Tom?” Izzi said then looked at Ben. He was watching her closely.

“You’re just upset you aren’t wanted anymore Juliet. Someone should really put you out of your misery.”

Juliet opened her mouth to answer, but Izzi didn’t give her a chance. She pounced on her. Hitting her as hard as she could over and over again with her fists. Juliet, caught off guard tumbled to the floor and put her arms over he head in a futile attempt to protect herself.

Izzi was breathing heavily when she felt two strong arms pick her up her from behind and haul her off of Juliet. The arms didn’t let her go as she watched Tom help Juliet up from the floor. Her face was covered in blood from a number of cuts given to her by Izzi’s fists. Her hands hurt like hell but Izzi knew that it was worth it.

“You’ll pay for this.” Juliet spat as Tom led her from the room.

Ben still didn’t release his hold on her. How the man managed to be so strong while looking so frail Izzi would never know.

“That was rash Izelle.” He said into her ear. His warm breathe sent tingles all over Izzi’s body.

“I told you what would happen if you let her in here Ben.”

“I’m not chastising you Izelle. In fact, I am impressed. I’ll never admit this to anyone else but she did have it coming. I was hoping to find a way to punish her for burning the library.”

Izzi smiled as she felt Ben tighten his hold on her, pulling her close to his body.

“If you let her in here again I will be happy to punish her some more.”

“Hmmm,” Ben said as he breathed in the scent of her hair, “I think right now I would rather be alone with my future wife.” He grinned pulling her down next to him on the cot.

“You are a strange man Benjamin Linus. Of all the things I could do, I beat up someone and that turns you on?”

“Everything you do turns me on Izelle.”

Izzi smiled and had to admit there was truth in his statement. Just about every move he made; made her want to jump him as well.

“What have I gotten myself into?” she asked out loud as she turned to look at him. Their faces were mere inches apart.

“Whatever it is, I hope it never lets you go.” Ben said sincerely.

Izzi knew that if he went on she would either start to cry or get angry again, so she did something that she knew would shut him up and something she knew she would enjoy.

She kissed him.


Hours later Izzi woke up in Ben’s arms and as much as she hated to admit it they felt nice wrapped around her. She looked at his sleeping face and noticed how peaceful he looked. Izzi sighed quietly and looked around her. They were still in her cell. The cell door stood wide open showing Izzi an easy escape. Izzi looked again at the man next to her and took his hand. She held his hand up to the light and studied it. This hand that had made her fall in love with Ben. She couldn’t imagine herself never holding it again. Izzi intertwined her fingers with Ben’s and moved closer to him. She had made her choice.

An hour later Ben opened his eyes to find Izzi watching him. He smiled up at her.

“Izelle,” he began.

“Wait Ben, I need to say something to you.”

“Alright” he said patiently.

“A while ago you said that you would do whatever it takes to prove to me that you loved me. Are you still willing to do that?”

Ben moved a strand of Izzi’s hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear, “Of course, Izelle.”

“Okay. I need you to do something for me. If you do this I will marry you. I will stop fighting against the people in the village and I will never try to leave again. I will be your wife and I will love you.”

“I’m happy that you have come to this decision Izelle. What do you want me to do?” Ben asked.

Izzi looked him straight in the eyes, “I want you to kill Juliet.”

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo so cute with the cell kissing scene! Is isobel really Ben's sister in the show?
