Chapter 1

Tony DiNozzo sighed as he exited his apartment. This was going to be a long case. Gibbs had told him to pack a bag for overnight stay. The light in his kitchen was on as he rummaged through the cabinets and packed a few granola bars into his backpack. Tony's eyes stopped at a familiar picture on his built in bookshelf nearby. He smiled, but it was a nostalgic almost sad smile.

It was a picture of him when he was about seventeen and still full of life. He had his mother's hazel eyes and a wide white toothed smile. He was staring into the camera like it was his last hope though, he looked happy, but his eyes said otherwise. He had his arm slung around a brown haired, similarly hazel eyed fourteen year old girl. Her smile was real unlike Tony's, it always had been. Her eyes shone with light. Tony's fingers played against the wooden frame of the photograph. He missed her.

The girl in the photograph was Tony's younger sister, Sarah Marie Paddington-DiNozzo.

Tony hadn't told the team about her in all of the years he'd been working there. It hadn't seemed relevant. When Tony's little sister had been born life had been good. Sarah had been gifted and smart; she'd been precocious at a young age, and incredibly beautiful. She'd captured Tony's heart and he'd protected her with his life. After Tony's mother had died his father had gotten rather violent in his drunken rages, he'd beaten Tony and often times when he couldn't get to Tony he'd beaten Sarah. Tony had volunteered himself up a few times in exchange for Sarah. When Tony had turned seventeen, shortly after the photograph he was holding had been taken by his and Sarah's nanny, he'd decided to run away from home. He'd packed a backpack full of his prized possessions and he'd encouraged Sarah to come with him, but she'd refused stating that she wasn't ready to leave yet. She was worried about where they'd go and what would happen to their father after they left. Tony, being the rash one, had decided that their father could die for all he cared and still wanted her to come with him. Sarah had still refused. Before he asked her again their father's car had pulled up and Sarah pushed Tony away towards the back door.

"Go Tony," she'd said, nothing but love and hope in her eyes. "I will be fine. Go, start a new life and one day I'll leave too and you can tell me all about it."

Tony had run after hugging her one last time and never looked back. He'd never heard from her again and it had been years upon years. He had begun to wonder if she was even alive anymore. He half suspected the latter.

He sighed and put the photograph back down before walking out of his apartment, turning out the light and closing the door behind him.

Ellie Bishop watched from the shadows of the observation room as Gibbs interrogated the man in front of him. He screamed and showed pictures and tons of other evidence incriminating him, but no such luck prevailed. The guy didn't even flinch. Ellie sipped her coffee and watched even more intently than before, he'd be a tough egg to crack.

"Listen man I don't know who you think you are holding me here but I swear to you I didn't do nuthin." the guy argued with Gibbs, but as he waited for the man to answer he stared right at Ellie. Gibbs was too distracted by shuffling through files to see, but the man's eyes flashed completely black and Ellie gasped.

Gibbs paused a moment before standing and stating that he was coming back. He proceeded then to leave and the guy was left alone at the interrogation table. Ellie bit her lip. Should she really do this? She had to, it was her job. In more ways than one it was her job.

She snuck across to the interrogation room, checking for Gibbs, and ducking into the room. She sat down across from the guy, a stone cold stare on her face.

"I know what you are." She said.

"Yeah so what sweet cheeks," he smirked. "And I know what you are too."

"Why are you here?" Ellie asked, her voice becoming low, powerful.

"Simple," the guy leaned forward. "I got orders from the boss to watch over a certain little someone. I think you know him? His name's Anthony DiNozzo I believe?"

"You leave Tony alone!" she tried to stay as quiet as she could. "He is under my protection! He always has been and always will be!"

"Sorry hon," the man's smirk grew even more evil. "But there's more of my kind where I came from. You just caught me and before you know it your precious little Tony is going to be gone. Along with everyone else here at NCIS, so I suggest you take my threat seriously and get out before we're forced to bring reinforcements that NCIS is unprepared to fight against, Kapeesh?"

Ellie balled her fists. She refused to burst out yelling, she refused to be pushed around by down world scum. Most of all if she fought him right then and there things would get hairy and not to mention she'd be under intense supervision and suspicion.

"You demons are the scum of the earth," she spat the words like venom. "You won't lay one hand on Tony or anyone else at this place. You hear me?"

"Loud and clear sugar," he said. "Oh, but don't say I didn't warn you when the big guns come."

Ellie slammed the door on her way out. She turned around fast enough to run smack dab into Tony's chest.

"Woah there Bishop where's the fire?" Tony chuckled. "I'm supposed to take this guy downtown. Were you the one interrogating him?"

"No Tony I uh," Ellie stammered, she couldn't tell him, not about what she'd said in there no matter how badly she wanted to. "I wasn't. I was just giving the uh paperwork to Gibbs, but he's not around so I'll have to find him later then."

"He's probably in Abby's lab," Tony smiled. "I gotta take this guy downtown, I'll catch yah later Bishop."

Tony smiled and walked into the room. Bishop walked the demon possessed man smirk at her once then return to the sullen look he'd had before as Tony placed him in handcuffs. Bishop wanted to go with Tony downtown to take the man. If she left him alone with him something horrible could happen, but if Ellie went she could possibly provoke an attack out of the demon possessed man and he could hurt Tony worse. It was best to sit this one out.

She watched Tony round the corner with the handcuffed, demon possessed, man and disappear out of sight. She walked off in defeat. She'd protect him though from what the demon had told her. She'd protect everyone.

After all, it had been her job for years to protect people.

Read and Reviews are appreciated!

The chapters will most likely get a little longer; some may be shorter than others it really depends on how much action is in the chapter.

So the man in custody is a….demon?! What in the hell?

And what's up with Ellie? What exactly is she then if the demon said he "knew what she was"?

You guys like the back story with Tony's sister and all that?

More to come soon guys!
