AN: I DO NOT OWN CASTLE AND ITS CHARACTERS. This is just an AU. What if Kate had a look alike that had been shot as well?

Kate looked down at the shaking girl sitting in the corner of the room. "Are you alright?" Kate asked making sure her voice was subtle and gentile.

"Yes, it's just, he's coming for me. He wants you but he's still coming for me!" The terrified girl looked at Kate her eyes filling with tears.

"It's okay; we'll take good care of you and make sure nothing will harm you." Kate placed a gentle hand on the girl's shoulder. As the girl looked up at Kate, she could tell she was in good hands. Kate yelled back to her partners, "Get the EMT's here now."

"They're already on their way now." Esposito walked in, gun in hand.

"No!" The girl cried out.

"It's ok, he won't hurt you." Kate soothed to keep the girl from cracking. Kate turned to Esposito "Gun" she whispered.

"Oh, right." Esposito put the gun in his holster. "So Beckett, what do we do with Evelyn?"

"We'll have her checked out with the paramedics and then talk to her about the shooting." Kate replied while she tried to battle her inner anger whelming up inside her. Kate remembered her own shooting then she remembered looking in the paper about another girl getting shot. Kate looked over at Evelyn who was quivering with fear; she then looked up at Kate, her eyes saying that she had suffered too much.

"You will catch that man, right?" Evelyn let the salty tears run down her cheeks before she fell to the floor with powerful sobs.

Two days earlier

"Why? Why would someone attack her? They want me not her, so then why did they shoot her?" Kate fired these questions rapidly at herself stopping only to let Castle take her in a deep embrace. "I can't live with myself knowing that they shot her thinking that she was me!"

"Don't worry Kate." Castle pulled her in tighter. Kate could tell he was worried but this time she didn't put up her walls. She had become accustomed to leaving her walls down when Castle was around. Kate had decided to drop Josh and go with Castle after her shooting, Castle thought of it as a miracle but Kate was just happy to be in a relationship with a guy she loved.

"We need to find her and protect her, Castle." Kate looked into his blue eyes and she felt a wave of tears come to her eyes but she resisted. Kate leaned into her lover and he gently cupped her cheek and kissed her hair. Kate looked up into his eyes again and they kissed, it was deep and full of emotion as their tongues did their own dance exploring the deepness of each other. Kate moaned with pleasure Castle's tongue darted out and touched her neck, Kate moaned again as Castle started to unbutton her shirt and then Kate reached out and started undoing his. They then crashed onto his bed and started playing with each other.

Kate awoke with a start a little later and she looked over at Castle, his words still ringing in her mind. ''Sometimes after a tragedy two human beings just need to... to be with each other, just for no other reason, they need their understanding and support." Castle meant those words and he was right, they need to be together. Kate closed her eyes then looked back at Castle, he was snoring slightly and it made him look just a little more adorable than humanly possible. A small smile crossed his face; Kate could only wonder what thoughts crossed his mind at that moment.

Castle awoke a few hours later and looked over to try to see his sleeping partner. The sheets were cold which meant that she was already up. He looked around the room for her, but she was nowhere in sight. Castle suddenly smelled breakfast cooking in the kitchen and he sat up instantly.

Kate was busy making omelets but every now and then she looked over at the doorway to the bedroom. She admitted that she was waiting for him to get up. She wanted this morning to be special, so she made breakfast instead of him doing it. Kate finely saw a dark figure walked slowly towards the door way, she took the omelet that was finished out of the pan and placed it onto a plate. She walked over to Castle and they hugged.

"I made you breakfast today because today is special." She grabbed the plate with the omelet, and handed it to him. Kate blushed a little when their hands touched. She smiled the old memories that came flooding back to her, the times where if someone asked her what she saw in her future she would have never said making omelets in a writer's kitchen.
