Reflections

by Aduna

An NCIS agent and the future Director of NCIS, a man that treated her as one in the family, those were what she had in her life. Family suddenly gave her a new meaning, she had a new reason to fight, the bundle in her arms... And then meeting her own eyes, the reflection of who she once were and who she knew she could be again. And if this is making you sick, go get a doctor :)

1. Prologue

Seeing as this one already been finished I might as well see what you think of it :)

Prologue

She couldn't give in, she had to much fight left to just roll over, she was to much like her father to just give in, if she just would find him she'd know…

She was running, her heart pounding so hard and fast, like a haunted animal and in a way she probably was one. All her life she had felt them breathe down her neck, her biological parents enemies, her own enemies, the enemies of her nation. Sucking in a deep breath she pressed herself against the brick wall, she had a few seconds to breath before she had to either run, fight or surrender and she knew she didn't have much strength left to fight or to run, and she'd be dead before she ever surrender. Looking down at the bundle in her arms, she had to fight, she had to make it, it was no long just about her, she had her baby girl to protect now, she saw them draw near, almost circling around her like animals, yeah predators praying on the weak. She straightened her back, no way in hell she'd go down without a fight, and she just had to get a few seconds to put her baby girl in safety. Suddenly she wasn't alone.

"NCIS, HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM" The gruff voice, an order in a voice you just couldn't disobey. But she couldn't linger anymore, she had to go, had to run. Holding her daughter tighter she made it for the run, amazingly her legs carried her stronger then ever, maybe it was instinct, damn right it was pure instinct.
"DON'T SHOOT" Same voice was heard, she wanted to turn and look, the voice from a dream, but she couldn't let any enemy see what she had to protect, her number 1 priority. She breathed shakily as she stopped, her legs shaking badly as she finally came to rest against a window as she knocked shakily against the wood of the door.
Arms wrapped around her and the bundle gently taken from her arms, the world darkened as she fell limply in the arms of safety, she finally accepted the safety, the protection she fought for so long, she finally accepted the safe haven in his arms, inside the walls. Still there were things she had to do, but now she had somewhere to come back to, someone to come back to, a family.
