Hi everyone, this is a three way crossover that I have been working on for a while, but it isn't your average crossover , this is a crossover linking my other stories together, as in the characters I created in my stories – their children. It isn't mandatory but I would suggest you read them, even though a couple of them aren't very good because they were my first fictions. The stories are:

Bones: The Daughter in the Danger, The Daughter's Déjà vu

NCIS: One Big Dysfunctional NCIS Family (prequel, not important), Out to Get You, Family Blood Ties (most important)

Castle: Her Secret Life No More.

Although this is a three way crossover I have to say it leans more towards Castle, there isn't favouritism it is just the other two have sequels, HSLNM does not. I have been writing this with my friend Livie (Jisbonforever), we have been thinking up ideas and I have been writing furiously, we are both I think really pleased with this, I wasn't originally planning to publish it for a while but I couldn't wait :D

Really hope you like it, would love some feedback.

To the real Livie: thanks for all your help writing this story, without your help, it wouldn't be possible.

An Adolescent Alliance

Prologue

Branches lashed at me, tearing at my skin, roots grabbed at my ankles trying to drag me down, it felt like even nature itself was against me, determined to stop me. But the angry nature wasn't the scariest thing out here so I pressed on, forcing myself to run faster, to be stronger. I forced my way through a thicket, vines wrapped around my wrists, like the fingers on those snatching hands that were chasing me, thorns cut through my skin as easily as though it were air, leaving bloody red furrows running up and down my arms.

I could hear shouting from behind me, and I struggled on breaking branches that blocked my path, the loud cracks they made echoed through the silent night no doubt alerting my chasers to my location. Crack, crack, crack. This time it was not I who made those cracks, they were from my chasers, they were gunshots, and the bullets were aimed at me.

At last I broke free of the thicket, though branches still clung to me, snagging my hair, more gunshots sounded and I heart a gentle 'pft' as a bullet buried itself into the trunk of the tree, against was I was leaning, catching my breath. I bolted. My lungs ached, I had been running for so long, they screamed at me to stop and breathe but every other fibre of my being screamed at me to not stop, to find safety, and that was the part of me that I decided to follow, adrenaline drove me on.

More roots grabbed me and this time they succeeded, I tumbled to the ground. Gasping I scrambled up only to freeze still breathing hard as I felt something cold get pressed against my neck "don't move" was growled in my ear and too exhausted to fight I obeyed. I turned when told to stare into my triumphant opponent's face, he leered at me, slowly the gun still pointed at my head he raised his hand, inside which a walkie talkie rested, smiling victoriously at me he lifted it to his he mouth.

At that moment there was a savage strangled angry cry and he spun round only to yelp as a heavy log collided with his face, he dropped to the floor without making a sound, without reporting our position, I looked at my saviour, her clothes like mine were torn and her arms and cheeks were covered in cuts, her hair was ragged but her rich brown eyes gleamed with the excitement of the chase, the thrill of fear that she felt, "thanks" I said panting "any time" she said with a small grin also breathing hard. Then her face turned serious "where's Tali" she asked, I didn't need to answer, the look on my face said it all, I didn't know, and neither did she. Suddenly there was shouting and we both dropped to the ground hiding between the roots of a tree, a small dark shape rushed past and we both hissed out to her, she turned and relief was written across her face, then she looked up and it was replaced by fear, she looked at us and then gave a small smile, illuminated by the little light that the moon gave us, we stared at her in horror, shaking our heads frantically but she looked determined, 'run' she mouthed then she turned and fled.

I tried to leap up after her but my other friend held me down, her hand over my mouth as more dark shapes rushed past us, there was silence, then three loud cracks that made us flinch, they seemed even louder than they should be in the silent forest, listening hard we heard a muffled thump and then the sound of our attackers cheering. We stared at each other in horror "no not Tali" I whispered, shock and fear consuming me, Tali was the strongest out of the three of us, she couldn't have been captured, but she had.

We weren't safe there and although it pained us to do so, to leave our friend, not knowing her fate, we leapt up and stumbled away. We stayed close together, determined not to be separated again, for fear of capture, we moved as silently as possible through the dark trees, looking desperately for an escape, a friendly light, a gap in the trees, anything. But there was nothing, we were in the middle of nowhere, all alone, except for each other with men with guns out to get us.

Suddenly from behind there was shouting and before we could stumble more than a few steps, there was a crack, my companion groaned, and then staggered before falling, a dart in her side, "April" I gasped terrified falling to my knees beside her, "run" she gasped. I looked over my shoulder, in what little light there was I saw our abductors moving towards us, one of which I could see was holding a limp figure slung over his shoulder. Tali. "Livie" April gasped, her voice was beginning to slur "run", there was a shout as one of the men spotted me still standing.

But I didn't move, as scared as I was I knew my place, and that was here with my new friends, I wouldn't abandon them, we were so alike, we understood each other better than anyone else did. So I stood there frozen to the spot, trembling, strong arms grabbed me, a cloth was placed over my mouth and nose, but I didn't fight, I began to feel dizzy as I breathed in whatever was on the cloth, the world swayed and my body went limp as I fell to the floor, as my eyes began to droop I stared at the canopy of trees above me and at the beautiful moon above me, glowing, then the world went black.
