Chapter 9

Karyn's P.O.V

My heart felt like it was about to burst out of my chest, something was chasing me. I don't know what or who it was, I just knew I had to run. Nothing was around; no trees, no grass, no ground, no people, nothing except darkness. I tripped, as I got back on my feet I could see glowing red eyes. I continued to run, ahead of me I saw my friends. "Help me!" I cried but they just turned around and disappeared. The creature behind me laughed, it had a mixture of a female voice and a males so I couldn't tell what it was. "Face it girl, your so called friends have abandoned you just like your parents did." This thing was toying with me, but it made my heart ache. "Your wrong!" I yelled trying to fight back tears, "I believe in my friends, we've been through a lot together!"

"You poor naïve little girl, they just use you." The red eyes got bigger they were now the size of a fully grown cat. What could I do? "YOU WILL LEAVE HER ALONE!" this new voice belonged to a girl, I couldn't pin-point it's location though. All of a sudden a light began to glow in front of me, just a small orb of light but it somehow gave me comfort. I looked up, the eyes evaporated before mine. "Thank you." I softly said to the light. It then floated into my chest, to my heart. I placed my right hand on my heart. I could feel it's warmth. "Time to open you eyes." It said. I smiled and nodded, I closed my eyes and returned to the real world.

…..

Karyn woke up on a couch, sitting up she looked around the room she noticed a note on the table with some of her clothes from the orphanage. She picked up the note up and read it.

You fainted in the agency, since you are still a witness you need protection.

I want an agent near you at all times.

There's food in the fridge, get dress.

Something in you jeans too from Layle.

Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

She got dressed and looked in her pockets, inside was a small box tied with a ribbon and a note. "'Sorry it's a bit late, Layle' oh Layle." she opened it up and inside was a rose quartz heart necklace.

She tied it around her neck like a chocker. "Thank you Layle." Karyn heard something coming from the basement. Curious she went to check it out. She opened the door and saw Gibbs working on a boat. She gently went down the small flight of stairs when he noticed her.

….

Gibbs saw something out of the corner. He looked and saw Karyn on the stairs. She had a black tee-shirt with a red oval on the front, dark blue jeans and a heart chocker necklace. 'weird' he thought to himself. "How do you feel Karyn?"

"Much better sir, Thank you." Images rushed back into Karyns head, Gibbs standing on a roof this time holding a gun looking around and a young woman wearing a bullet-proof vest but a bullet hole on her forehead. Karyn sensed sorrow, guilt and rage. He seemed to have blamed himself, then an image of her funeral the guilt and rage had vanished but she still felt sorrow. She shook off the images again. 'What on earth was that?' she didn't understand, but she pushed it to the back of her mind. Gibbs tossed her a block of sand paper and invited her down with a smile. She helped sand the boat.

"Well time to go." he said, Karyn went upstairs. Gibbs stayed and smiled, 'She reminds me of so much.' he thought and followed behind her.

….

So what do you think? Sorry that it's been so long but I couldn't think of what to write.
