Kate Beckett woke up like any other day in the last 5 years, freezing on a stone cold floor trying to keep warm with the poor excuse of a blanket they were given. She wished she could go back to her old house and sleep in her big bed. She held her legs to her stomach trying to calm herself down. She tried to forget what happened 5 years ago but it was still fresh in her mind.
It was a December's night snow was falling from the sky. Kate was sitting in her bed sketching a picture of her family, being 13 at the time she really didn't have much going on outside of school. She heard some commotion downstairs, but she didn't think anything of it. She thought it was just her parents making dinner. Her brother, Seeley, barged into her room with a strange look on his face. Seeley was a lot older then her, at the time he was just 21. "Kate!" He whispered to her harshly. She could tell by his voice he was scared.
"What's wrong Seel aren't you supposed to be out with Temperance?" She asked with worried eyes. "Get into the closet." He demanded. Kate looked at him with questioning expression and began to protest. "Please." He begged. She did what her older brother told her. She started to become frantic as he tried his best to hide her in the small space. "Where are mom and dad?" She questioned as he stacked various belongings in there blocking her in. He looked at her with sad eyes and said to her to just stay quiet and everything will be alright.
She smiled sweetly at her brother and agreed to this strange arrangement. Seeley carefully walked down the wooden stairs. He was trying not to make them creak underneath his weight. He heard the intruders in the living room scavenging through their belongings. He griped tighter at the knife he held in his hand. He was ready to do what he had to.
Seeley was done waiting for the cops knowing the men where down there hurting his family. What he saw made him sick; he tried his best not to throw up. He spotted his father's dead body in a pool of blood. He held in a gasp not wanting to give himself away as he continued his trip to the living room. Walking past a window he saw a reflection of a man standing over his dead mother's body. He blinked back the tears that were threatening to fall. He slowly walked up behind him and drew his knife ready to kill this monster.
Then he felt someone stab him in the back with a needle and he lost all consciousness.
Kate never being the one to listen to her brother also she wanted to check up on him. She went down the steps and let out a scream when she saw her father sprawled out on the steps. She ran to the living room only to find her mother's mangled body and a two men holding her brother making their way to the back door. It was too much to take in as the tears where now running down her face.
She ran to Seeley not really thinking and man grabbed her. The other held a cloth over her mouth, she felt dizzy then she fell into darkness.
That's the way she remembered that night. The men brought them to; well she doesn't know exactly where she is, even after five years she hasn't been outside. She awoke in the room with her brother and they have been here ever since. The room they have been trapped in was dark except for the lamp in the corner of the room that was on constantly. The room was rather small and it was stone.
The door that trapped them in was big and metal with a sliding compartment big enough to slide food through. The beds they slept in where just a few sheets on the floor. Seeley and Kate had no idea why they didn't kill them that night. The men never told them and they really didn't want to ask. They had no real connection with the men, neither one of the children recognized them. They didn't question it; they just let this become the norm.
The first year they had been restless they would scream and try to break down the door. Which would result in one of the men coming in and it would result in beating them. On one of the many occasions this happened one of the men finally threatened to rape Kate if it happened again. Seeley didn't want to take any chances, so it never happened again.
The siblings didn't fight them and the men would only beat them on occasion to remind them who is in charge. Over the years they started to trust their captives and let them come out only on special occasions. They would also talk to them more. It wasn't by any means friendly but it was better than the first year.
It was a very chilly December morning Kate woke up and her bones ached. Sleeping on a stone floor isn't that good for you. Seeley was already up, he was doing some push-ups. Working out was the only way Seeley stayed calm in this stone prison. Kate smiled at him, "Merry Christmas." He stopped doing his workout and smiled at her.
She kept track on the wall, she had a system and she knew exactly what day it was. "Another year… Huh?" He said solemnly. "Yep Seel." She stated. "Kate, I think I have a plan." Kate looked up at her brother with a shocked look. Seeley hasn't planned anything in a while; he used to always make up elaborate strategies and plans. She looked at him and he took it as a sign to continue.
"Well every year on Christmas they let us out for a few… I was thinking if I could just get ahold of a lighter or something I could burn this house down." Kate sat there debating this idea, "But Seeley, what if they don't let us out? Also, how can we light up the whole house without them noticing?" Seeley just rubbed his face in his hands. "I DONT KNOW KATE." Kate jumped at his change in manner.
"Damn, I am sorry I am just being logical." He just looked at her and stated "Maybe you can't use logic; you just have to hope, because hope is all we got." Kate sat there quietly and looked down at the floor. After a few minutes she spoke up,
"Last year they let us upstairs to clean and stuff. They have a case of beers upstairs and they are already pretty tipsy when we come up. Ask if you can have a few beers, they will say yes. Go to the bathroom at the end of the hall, dump it all over the room and then use the matches they keep in the bathroom to light it on fire." Seeley stared blankly and his little sister and a smile crept up on his face. "I knew we were related." He said smugly. Kate rolled her eyes and smiled big.
Then there was a loud pounding on the door. It made both of them stop talking and stare at the door. They heard a slurred voice call out, "hey you get a free pass today you have to clean upstairs." They both looked at each other and gave a nod. The door open abruptly and let Kate and Booth out.
The upstairs was a lot different than their prison. It was disgusting and there was trash everywhere. Once they got to the top of the steps, the man thrusted a dustpan and broom at them. After a few hours of cleaning Seeley spoke up, "Sir, I was wondering if I can have a drink." They two men look at each other with glazed over eyes debating. One man got up and tossed him a beer.
"Thank you so much." Once the men started watching a game on T.V. Seeley decided to make his move. He grabbed the unopened beer and despite his sisters nervous looks he snuck out of the living room down the hall. As he made his way down the hall he saw a bunch of newspapers and grabbed them. Once he made it to the bathroom he worked very quickly.
Throwing all the newspaper around and dowsing the room in alcohol. He then looked around for the matches his sister told him about. He found them on the ground and opened the box to find three matches. He grabbed the first one and struck it he was a bit rusty and it broke the tip off. He groaned frustrated and reached for the second one he then struck it like the first and it took. He carefully reached down and lit some of the paper on fire. He backed out of the bathroom and saw the whole room turn to flames.
He ran back to where Kate and the men where. "They fell asleep. How did it go?" Kate asked. "We got to hurry, let's get the hell out of here." Seeley stated. A big grin appeared over Kate's face as she nodded. Seeley and Kate franticly tried to find a way out. Most of the windows where boarded up and the fire was now spreading through the hallway. There was only one exit and that was through the garage. Kate made her way to the garage and found the door was surprisingly unlocked. She struggled to lift up, but after a few tugs she was successful.
Seeley came frantically running out to join her holding something in his hand. He slammed the door shut that separated him and the house. He pressed all his weight of the door and you heard pounding from the other side. It was the men, this being the only way out the fire probably engulfed the living room by now. Seeley tossed her some keys to the car sitting in the garage and she started it. While she was doing that Seeley jammed a wooden chair under the doorknob. The chair leaned back with its front feet in the air. He continued to jam the back legs of the chair back as far as he could to ensure the chair would not move.
"Seeley come on!" Kate screamed from the passenger side of the car. Seeley now confident the chair wouldn't move he frantically got in the car and sped off down the dirt road not knowing where to go but thanking God for letting them get out. They both looked back at the house now engulfed in flames. Kate exhaled a sigh of relief. She reached over and grabbed her brother's hand. She squeezed it, he squeezed back. "We did it." She whispered.
