Title: I Remember
Rating: PG-13 (minor language warning)
Spoilers: Twilight
Disclaimer: Damn DPB... unfortunately right now, he owns it all.
I had to do one more story for "Twilight", just to get it out of my system.
Kate's POV
"Oww. I just got shot at point blank range DiNozzo. What do you think?" I moan as I lie on the ground, a pain shooting through my chest.
"You're not going to be going to pilates class tomorrow?" Tony replies. I have to hand it to him... never a loss for the sarcasm.
"Ouh... ugh." I groan slightly as Gibbs and Tony pull me up off the ground. That's as close to death as I want to get for awhile.
"Protection details over Kate," Gibbs says. Thank God. Protecting his ass is harder than it seems. Jumping in front of a bullet... not the smartest thing I have ever done, but at least it will keep me on his good side for a few weeks.
"You did good," Tony compliments me. I am in shock for a moment.
"For once... DiNozzo's right," Gibbs agrees. Damn, two compliments in less than a minute. I am definitely on a roll today.
"Ah huh! Wow. I thought I'd die before I ever heard a compli..."
Then it's over. Everyone says that right before you die, your life flashes before your eyes, but mine didn't have time. You never hear anyone mention that happening... dying to quickly to relive your best days. I didn't know it was coming. Totally a surprise to me I have to say. At least that bullet to the chest I saw, but this one... I thought we were all safe.
There isn't even enough time for me to say the one thing I want to, not that it would've made a difference. Admitting how I feel on my deathbed... he wouldn't have time to retaliate. I try so hard to push the words out, but I can't see anything. Well, I can see myself, but I am not myself. I am outside of my body, staring into my empty eyes and waiting to wake-up. This is all a horrible dream. I wasn't ready to die yet... I guess I have no choice.
Good-bye.
