A/N: Sorry for the long time between updates guys, I was up at my uncle's helping babysit some 40 dogs and didn't have any of this with me... really didn't have time for much besides the dogs - sadly.

Updates will be back to normal schedule :-)

And now back to Kim's thoughts :-)


Part 4

Well, I guess I'm back here again.

And hey, I've made my first big milestone finally. But I'll explain that later.

So where was I? Oh yes, my first death. It was quite painful really. But then I woke up. See I knew I was dead. I had felt my heart stop beating, drawn my last breath, all of that. And yet, I was opening my eyes, breathing, and my heart was beating in my chest once more.

Then I saw Adam. Well, at least if I wasn't dead, I certainly had woken up to a good sight. Of course his breaking up with me a few minutes later really ruined the whole, welcome back from the dead thing I had going.

And then, my newly made ex, proceeded to tell me that I was one of his kind. And that he had known it the entire time. But see, he just couldn't kill me to make me Immortal.

Believe me, I asked.

So, after I had my first unexpected, horrific death, I lived again.

Adam, well Methos as his true name was, started my training then, explained all the ins and outs of being an Immortal, and took me to Seacover. That's in Washington in case you all are going 'Where the hell is Seacover?'

And there I met Duncan, who took over my training. And we helped my martial arts along a bit, increased my skill with the bow, because hey, worse came to worse I could shoot someone long enough to get to my sword. And I also learned how to shoot a gun.

A lesson my poor Connor learned rather well actually.

See, the idiot man had walked in the building while I was going through a kata with my favorite sword, and I sensed before I looked, grabbed the gun on the table and shot. Thankfully he was an Immortal, and Duncan, Methos, and Joe have teased him from the moment he woke up on.

Well, looking at my record with men, I wasn't too set to, well as some might say, hop into bed with the next guy I nearly fainted at the sight of. Ok, so I was sorely tempted the first time he kissed me. And he had an even sexier accent than Adam…. But no I kept myself from falling for him. As long as possible… and hey, I did manage to keep from falling head over heels in love with him for almost a year.

Yes, everyone you can take your pick, throw more popcorn at me, or cheer with me. Your choice, I know everyone has different opinions. But hey, that's life, and this is mine so… accept it, and lets move on.

Slight point I hadn't mentioned before. You know my death back there in Miami. Well after that, the world believed Kimberly Hart was dead, my family included. Which explains why poor Tommy was so shocked to see me, not to mention the others. Now, as many people know, my mother married a frenchman. His name was Jean, another little known fact.

Lots of little known facts in my life actually, the next is this. I have a half-sister. Her name is Chalise. Chalise Antoinette Dumás. She was only three months old when her mother, father, and our brother were killed. Bad thing about having enemies, they tend to attack you where it will hurt the most.

It took three months to prove that I was Kimberly Ann Hart. And Chalise celebrated her seven-month birthday with Connor and I in Seacover. As far as she knows, I'm her mother. And Connor is her father. And then there is John… John is Connor's adopted son. And while he knows the truth, that she's actually his aunt of sorts, he loves her to death just the same. We're going to tell her the truth eventually, we're not sure when yet. Maybe her tenth birthday, or her thirteenth. Right now she doesn't need to know that her mother, father, and brother were killed like they were.

Of course in order to tell her, we first have to rescue her.

So, now we finally reach the point in my life that Zedd re-entered my life. Before I got Chalise, he actually came and told me to join him and help him defeat the rangers, past and present, because I was Immortal.

I told him to get lost, in a few more words of course.

He didn't like that very much, typical evil overlord who has lost his mind behavior. So, what did he do? He kidnapped my sister; Amanda; Joe - a very good friend; and another Immortal who had been visiting Duncan with Amanda. Her name is Michelle by the way.

So, he made us a deal, we help him, he lets my sister and Michelle live. As part of the deal he let Amanda and Joe go. Joe we sent back to Seattle to be with John, and yes he is eighteen, but for crying out loud, an evil insane maniac who just happens to have gotten his body flipped inside out was trying to use blackmail on us. I wasn't going to let him have another of my 'children' to add to his collection.

But anyway, I called up my good friend Danica, who I had met via Amanda, and the six of us played to his tune. For a while.

See, for some reason Zeddie boy never thought to learn french. A language all six of us know considering each of us have a house somewhere in France. So, we had a lovely time pretending Danica only spoke french, and while we were 'telling her his plans' we were really making our own.

And seeing as I can feel the familiar signs of life coming back, I suppose this will all have to wait to later to be finished. I have a job to finish.

Which reminds me, I wonder how things are going between the group and the rangers without me…
