Prologue
All she could see was darkness as she opened her eyes. She looked to her right and saw what looked to be an outline of a metal crate. She looked to her left and saw the same thing as she sat in this wooden chair. She tried to get up but felt a restrained. Her hands were tied behind her back and her feet were tied to the posts of the chair. She sighed before she closed her eyes as she tried her hardest to break free from the chair and the rope that was keeping her there. Kate Beckett was not going to stand for this.
As she got one of her feet freed she heard a woman scream. The scream that made her heart stop. "Kate!" She heard the voice scream. Kate knew she had to break free. She had to save herself and Kathleen. She was not going to let them die.
She somehow broke free of her restraints on her feet and scooted over in her chair to see if she could find anything sharp to free her hands. She then heard another voice. "Kate" she heard him whisper. It could not be him.
"Castle?" She whispered.
"Don't worry Kate. I'll get you out of this" he said in a reassuring whisper.
"I have to save Kathleen! I have to save Kathie!" She said wishing he would free her faster. She had to save her. She was not going to lose her. Once free she started running towards where she heard the scream coming from. She saw a light come on and then heard footsteps running towards her from the direction she was running to. She saw her. Kathie was running to her. "Kathie! It's ok! We're going to get out of here" She reassured her as she stopped running towards her.
She then saw the man. The man that had captured them. The man that was trying to kill them. She saw the gun and knew he had stolen it from her. She had nothing to protect Kathie with...nothing to defend herself. She heard the gunshot...but it was from behind her. Her heart stopped again...Castle.
She looked back and saw another man, maybe...she couldn't really see, with a gun and Castle on the ground. She wanted to run to him and help him, just like he did when she was shot, but she couldn't get herself to move. She knew if she moved both Kathie and her would die. She heard both of the men reload their guns and cock it. This was it...she was going to die...and so were Castle and Kathleen. She let them down and they were going to die.
