This is a one-shot that just came to mind, and wouldn't leave my mind till I wrote it on a paper. It's right after Kate gets shot during the season finale. I know there are a lot of these but this is from Kate's POV.

Enjoy!

Kate Beckett laid there on the ground awaiting death. She never thought about how she would die. Dying at a loved one's funeral seemed ironic, though. But dying right now was stupid, she thought. There are people who need her now more than ever. The timing of dying here was off, but then again, it didn't matter what Kate wanted. She truly wanted to live longer, but the choice wasn't hers.

"Kate, stay with me Kate." Castle's voice rang through her muddled thoughts. Kate decided that she wasn't going to die now, no matter what fate wanted to do. She would continue to fight a good fight. Because like Captain Montgomery said, there are no victories only battles, and this was a battle Kate was determined to win.

Beckett fought her eyes and the bullet hole; she wasn't going under their spell. But as she continued to wait for the ambulance, the fight got harder and harder. She wasn't going to win this battle, but was still trying.

"Kate, I love you. I love you Kate." You too Castle, you too, she wanted to say so much. She wanted to tell him that all the songs make sense now, but she couldn't find her mouth to say so. Kate had to live, and try harder. She now had a better reason to live, so she could tell Castle, I love you too.

Kate Beckett lost the battle against her eyes and soon blacked out, a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. She lost one battle, but was going to win the other. For her father, Lanie, Javier, Kevin, and even for Alexis, the girl she had come to love as her own daughter.

Kate was going to fight the battle, till she was taken off the battle field for good. She was going to fight for those who she loved, and hopefully she would prevail.

Okay I got that out of my head. Yay! Reviews are always welcomed, tell me what you think.
