So let me just start out by saying, HOW AWESOME WAS SET-UP? I think it was amazing! But I'm even more excited for Countdown, and hate the fact that we have to wait a whole WEEK before we can see what actually happens!

And after watching the ABC promo and the CTV promo for Canada, I knew I had to write a story! So here it is, I took the words that were said in the promo's and added them in, how I hope they are said. So, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Castle or anything affiliated with these amazing show.


"Beckett." Castle said, urging her to look at him towards the back of the chamber. He looked at the face of the frozen body, as he recognized the man. "It's Jamal."

Beckett's face froze with fear. Now she believed that Jamal and Amir were indeed not terrorists. They were set up. She slowly walked to the back of the chamber, joining Castle.

"Do you believe me now?" he asked.

She breathed, as steam came from her mouth. "I always did. We just…couldn't prove it."

"So I'm guessing whoever locked us in here, killed Jamal and Amir after they got what they needed from them."

Beckett nodded, the coldness really beginning to take its toll.

"How cold do you think it is?" he asked.

Beckett shrugged her shoulders. "I'm guessing 1 below freezing."

"We have to get out of here." Castle whispered, his lips quivering.

Beckett mentally agreed, and pulled out her gun as she began to shoot, as the bullets ricocheted off the walls.

"Oh! Kate! Whoa, whoa, whoa!" he said as he raised his arms, urging her to stop. "You're going to get one of us killed. Well we need to find some other way out of here! We have to get a hold of someone."

"Castle, nobody knows that we're in here." she said, disappointed.

Castle put his head down in defeat.

"So, we're going to freeze to death?" he asked.

In her mind, she answered yes, but she was too afraid to say it out loud. She walked towards the middle of the chamber and sat down. Castle noticed this and decided to sit down next to her. Neither one spoke, both of them too afraid. But Castle spoke up first.

"So, are you scared?" he asked.

Beckett just looked up at him, glaring. "Yes Castle, I am afraid. Afraid that if no one finds out that we're in here, we're going to die. Afraid that I wont be able to say goodbye to my father, and he'll have to deal with another death in his family. I'm afraid I won't be able to tell Lanie, Esposito, Ryan, Montgomery, Josh, that…I said goodbye. I'm afraid….I'm just scared, okay?"

He nodded in agreement. "I understand. I won't be able to tell Alexis and my mom how much I love them. Alexis is going to have to grow up without a father, and pretty much a mother too. Though I know they will be well taken care of with the money I left them in my will, I just…I don't want them to have to go through this, you know?"

She nodded, not knowing what to say. She then felt something dripping from her face, sweat.

"Castle, this isn't good." she said, wiping it from her forehead.

"No…it's not." he answered, frightened for what it meant.

She stood up, frightened and began pacing around.

"This is bad Beckett, really bad." he said as he stood up and walked over to her.

"Castle, I really need a silver lining right about now."

He tried and tried to think of one, but couldn't come up with anything.

"I wish I had one." he said in defeat.

She began crying, something that Castle rarely saw the strong willed and independent detective do. He wrapped his arms around her, whispering that it was going to be okay.

"They'll find us. I promise, they will."

His body was so warm. She clung to him like bee on honey. Her whole body was beginning to freeze, and the warmth that Castle provided, was enough to give her body a little bit of heat, at least, until he started becoming as cold as her.

"Let's sit down, okay?" he offered, his legs feeling heavy and cold.

She nodded, but didn't let go of him as they maneuvered their selves to the ground while keeping a hold of each other. They sat in silence for what seemed like a long time, until Castle once again broke the silence.

"Kate, how long do you think we've been in here?"

"I don't know." she said, her voice becoming hoarse. "Maybe an hour? Not sure."

He nodded against her head. She was beginning to slip from his grip, as he pulled her closer, her head now resting on his shoulder. His arm was wrapped around her protectively, as he tried not to look at her. Silence filled the room once again. Castle was now beginning to feel how Beckett felt. His body was becoming colder, his voice becoming raspy. He never felt like this before. In the face of death, he could only think of the Titanic.

"Jack and Rose." he said softly, his voice hoarse as well.

"What?" she whispered.

"We're like Jack and Rose from the Titanic." she slightly smiled, surprised that even when they were dying, he still thought about movies. She also ignored the fact that if they were Jack and Rose, they were head over heels in love with each other, which was something she didn't know was true.

"Can't feel anything." she spoke a little while later, her cracked voice getting worse.

He brought her closer, trying to give her whatever warmth he had left. He knew that she was dying, and dying fast. Every time she spoke, her voice was worse, he could no longer feel any warmth on her body, her hair was beginning to freeze, and her face, was so pale.

Her eyes were now closed, as she could feel herself slowly going under.

"Castle, I just wanted you to know how much I luhh…."

And as she said that, her arm fell, no longer holding onto his jacket.

"Kate, stay with me." he spoke softly.

"Kate." He shook her.

"Kate, please. Stay with me." he spoke, looking at her now.

She looked terrible. Ice was beginning to form on her hair, her eyelashes were slowly freezing, her face was pale, her lips were purple.

"Baby please, don't die on me." he said again, but he knew she couldn't hear him.

He let go of one of her hands, touching his lips with his fingers. His lips were the only thing that was still warm. His lips and his breath. He knew what he had to do. As much as he wished this was under different circumstances, he would take the second best situation. He slowly pulled her face to his, as he pressed his lips to hers, trying to radiate all of his heat to her through one simple kiss.

He pulled his mouth away from hers, but kept his face in hers. Her eyes began to twitch, as she started opening her eyes. When she did, the first thing she saw was Castle. She slightly smiled.

"Castle." she breathed, her voice still discordant.

But once again, her eyes closed, and Castle felt lonely as ever.

Little did he know that help was coming, but what if didn't come soon enough?


Awww :( Isn't it sweet? I really hope this is actually how it plays out. I'm thinking this will be a one-shot, but if you want more, then by all means leave a review!

Oh, and if you want to see the parts that are actually going to be spoke, go watch the Canadian promo! It's wayyy better than ABC's.
