New Ben Fanfiction!

Thank you so much! You're too nice!

You know I do the same thing! I always imagine myself in stories! In fact, I mine as well say Izzi is me, at least pretty close!

I'm so happy you like it!

Ok, I just spent the last couple hours typing these up. I was away for Easter for a day and didn't have my laptop with me. So I went old school and hand wrote the next two chapters!

The new ones are

Chapter 18-Revelation
Chapter 19-Mutiny

Let me know what you think!

Thanks!

I'm REALLY enjoying these stories. Just spent the past half-hour going over them, drinking tea and wishing I could get LOST on TV. Keep ' em coming, okay?

Thank you!

I love your Zep story! Have you written any more?

By the way, your Icon is so cool! I call Ben, "Creepy Ben" so it is perfect.

I just finished chapter 20! Wow, this may be the longest thing I have ever written, and I'm not even done yet!

fanfiction.net is being difficult at the moment, so I'm going to post the chapter here.
I'll add it to the website when it is working again.

Here ya go and thanks!

Disclaimer: I make no profit from this. Ben and all of the other Lost characters do not belong to me. Izzi, however, is mine.

A/N-This is set in season 3 as the Others leave the Hydra to go back to their “home”. Some things from the TV show may stay the same, some may not

Chapter 20-Caged

Izzi followed behind Juliet, the two men never letting go of her arms. She’d stopped fighting against them. She figured it might be a good idea to save her energy.

Juliet led them to the security fence; to the spot where Ben first told Izzi about its deadly purpose.

“Put her in there.” Juliet ordered pointing to a large cage set up near the fence.

Izzi paled. “What for Juliet? Since when have I ever been that much of a threat? Why I am being locked up?”

“Because I know you’ll hate it and I can’t wait to see you miserable. Plus, Jacob said we shouldn’t underestimate you.”

“How long are you going to keep me in there?”

“Not long, just until the ceremony.”

“What ceremony?”

“I guess you’ll just have to wait and find out won’t you?”

Izzi studied Juliet. She was enjoying the situation a little too much.

“What did Jacob promise you?” Izzi asked.

“What? Nothing.”

“He promised you Jack didn’t he? He told you if you followed his instructions that you and Jack would be together and be the new leaders.”

“And if he did?”

“You know he’s lying. Jacob may be able to predict something every now and then but he can’t control people’s will. He can’t force someone to love another and Jack doesn’t love you.”

Juliet moved closer to the cage. “No, he loves you doesn’t he? You already had Ben; did you really need Jack as well?”

“I don’t want Jack. He wants me. He prefers me over you. Come to think of it, Ben said the same thing to me not too long ago. You seem to be setting a trend Juliet. Just what do you do to drive them off?”

Juliet pulled her gun and pointed it at Izzi. “It’s your fault. You took Ben away from me.”

“No, Jacob did that. He told Ben to divorce you. I had nothing to do with it.”

“Ben listened to him.”

Izzi shook her head, “Just like you are now?”

“This is different.”

“It’s not.”

“I wish I could shoot you right now.” Juliet sneered.

“Then why don’t you? No one is here to stop you. It would be easy. But wait, Jacob’s here isn’t he? He’s telling you not to kill me. And you know what I find funny? You’re going to listen to him. You’re afraid of someone or something you can’t even see. He wouldn’t be able to stop you, yet you’re still frightened of him. Pitiful.”

“You just wait Izzi. You’ll get what you deserve soon enough.” Juliet said as she turned and stalked away leaving Izzi alone.

***************************************************


Ben rested his head against the rough tree as he worked on freeing his arms. Jack had finally left. He said he was going to the village to find Izzi and bring her back.

Ben was just happy he was gone. He made quick work of freeing himself from the rope. In truth, he could have been free minutes after Jack tied him up. Instead he had decided to use the time to get into Jack’s head a little more. He was so easy to manipulate that Ben hardly even had to try.

As he stood up and stretched his limbs he noticed it was growing dark. Perfect, he thought. It would be easier to move undetected through the jungle at night. With a sigh he began the long trek home.

Ben froze; he heard movement in the bushes in front of him. He waited patiently until the cause of the noise revealed itself.

Kate Austen crept through the bush and stopped when she saw him.

“I see you were able to free yourself from the handcuffs.” Ben said with a smirk.

Kate glared at him, “She had they key.”

“Yes she did. Where is Juliet?”

“She went back to the village.” Kate said surprised she was willing to answer his questions.

“Did she? Curious.” He thought looking away.

“I saw your wife.”

“When?” he asked.

“Not too long ago, a day or two.”

“Where was she?”

“She walked into the village with an older woman and a girl.”

Ben nodded glad that Isabel and Alex had found Izzi and taken her home.

“They cuffed her.”

Ben looked at her sharply, “Who?”

“Juliet handcuffed your wife. She fought them but they took her away somewhere.”

“What did they do with the girl?” he asked worried for Alex.

“Nothing, she went into one of the houses.”

Ben just looked at her deciding if she had any more useful knowledge.

“You know more than you are telling me.” He said quietly.

“I told you what I know. I went back to the village to see if Jack was still there. I left when I found out he wasn’t.”

Ben approached Kate slowly, “Tell me, now.”

“I already told you...” Kate began to argue but was cut off by Ben’s strong hand gripping her throat.

“Either you tell me all that you know, or I kill you now.” He said calmly as he tightened his grip.

Kate struggled against him but it was useless. “Cage” she sputtered.

“What?” he asked.

“They put her in a cage, by the fence.”

Satisfied Ben let go of Kate and watched her fall to a heap on the ground. Without a word, he turned and began racing through the jungle.

He knew what that cage meant.
**************************************************


Izzi paced in the cage as the sun beat down on her. She really wished someone would tell her what the hell was going on.

She saw Tom approaching in the distance. He was carrying a large jug of water.

“Here you go Izzi.” He said when he reached the cage.

“Thanks Tom.” She said eyeing him and the water carefully.

“It’s not poisoned Izzi.” He said chuckling.

“Tom, what is happening?”

“I’m not supposed to tell you anything.”

“It’s bad isn’t it?” she asked.

Tom just nodded.

“Please, at least tell me what to expect. Please Tom, you’re Ben’s best friend, you were the best man at our wedding. I’m not asking you to let me go, just tell me.”

Tom glanced around him, “Alright Izzi.”

Izzi smiled, “Thank you Tom.”

Tom didn’t smile back, “Have you ever heard of the Salem Witch Trials Izzi?”

“Yes.” Izzi answered slowly.

“Then you know what happened to those women. That is what happens to the wife when the leader dies.”

“Why?” Izzi asked as terror rolled over her.

“It dates back to the first civilization to live on the island. It’s tradition.”

"But, Ben's not dead!" she panicked.

Tom looked at her sadly, “The rules have changed; I’m sorry Izzi.”

Izzi didn’t hear him, “Oh my God, they’re going to burn me alive.”
