Life After Death

Through the eyes of Kate

Twilight Revisited

"Shooter!" I screamed, dropping my shotgun and diving in front of Gibbs just as the shot was fired. I felt the bullet hit. It felt like getting smacked in the ribs with a two by four. I dropped to the ground, motionless, in too much pain to move.

"KATE!" yelled Gibbs as he came running over to check on me.

He and Tony unzipped my jacket and ripped the shirt underneath only to find the bullet embedded smoothly in the flak-vest I was wearing. I slowly opened my eyes. Everything seemed a little hazy at first as I tilted my head and glanced upwards to see Tony and Gibbs kneeling over me. Gibbs breathed a sigh of relief; I could see it in his eyes as well.

"You ok?" Tony asked concerned.

"Ooowww." I moaned. "I just got shot point-blank range DiNozzo…what do you think?" I winced as they helped me up gently to my feet. I bent over in pain again as I stood.

"That means that you won't be going to Pilate's class tomorrow?" DiNozzo smirked.

I looked at him and tossed my hair back. Rolling my eyes at him, I began to feel on my stomach where the remainder of the bullet was embedded in my vest.

"Protection detail is over, Kate" Gibbs said putting his earpiece back into his right ear so that he could contact McGee.

"..You did good" Tony said to me, winking. I frowned at him, expecting some usual sexual-oriented wisecrack. When it didn't come, I smiled but didn't say anything.

"For once, DiNozzo's right…" Gibbs smirked as he loosened my flak-vest for me. I smiled; I appreciated what Gibbs was doing for me.

"Wow!" I laughed "I thought I would die before I ever hea…." My words were cut short. I'm not sure what happened. One moment I was standing between Gibbs and Tony, and then I only saw black. I tried to speak, but I couldn't. I felt extremely lightweight. My head seemed to be on fire. I tried several times to open my eyes, but they felt like 100-pound weights. All of a sudden, I saw everything around me in a ghostly light. I was floating away, seeing everything around my once-living body.

A/N: More chapters are already written, I will upload them asap! Hope you enjoyed the first chapter!
