This one's shorter again but I wanted to update. Thanks again to everyone who's reviewed/added me to alerts, means a lot :)
Disclaimer: How I wish it was mine, it's not
The letter freaked Alexis out, mostly because she didn't understand it. If there was one thing that Alexis Castle hated, it was not understanding things. She sat there for a minute contemplating it's meanings when a step behind her made her jump.
'Alexis,' she spun around where she stould and breathed a sigh of relief as she saw her Grandmother standing behind her. She looked tired and worried, and Alexis noticed that she was clutching a white envelope in her hand.
'Gran? Gran what's going on? What happened in the…' she turned to look again at the wreckage of the fridge '…where's Daddy?'
Martha looked down at the floor 'I don't know, darling,' she said and when she looked up again there were tears standing in her eyes 'But I have an idea,'
Alexis began to feel scared, she wanted her dad. 'Gran? Where is he Gran?'
'I..I think he's been kidnapped,'
'Kidnapped? How can he have been kidnapped?' her voice climbed an octave as she said it
'Well, it's simple really' a male voice came from the direction of the door and the two women spun around quickly
'You!' Martha shouted at him 'Where did you take hime?'
'Gran?' Alexis grabbed hold of Martha's arm 'Gran who is that?'
'Oh, sorry Alexis, how rude of me. I'd be your father's kidnapper, how'd you do?'
'What?'
'That's right sweetie, I've kidnapped your father, and his little lovergirl cop friend…and now I've come for you,' Martha pushed Alexis a little behind her
'And I see you've got my letters, I'm so pleased, now if you'd just come with me,' he gestured to the door
'You're kidding right?' Alexis asked, her voice full of panic and confusion
'Oh c'mon ladies, don't make me do it the hard way,'
'We're not going anywhere with you,' Martha said firmly
Jerry sighed sadly
'I'd hoped you wouldn't be like this, it just makes things more unpleasant,' he took a step closer and they copied him, backing away
'Look, I'm trying to be nice about this, ladies. Please don't make me angry,' he took another menacing step towards them and then broke into a run. He was across to them in three strides and Alexis screamed as knocked her to the floor. Pain seared through her head as he smashed it into the floor and everything started to go blurry. She turned around slowly trying to shake off the dizzyness, just in time to see him slam her grandmother's head into a kitchen counter. She tried desperately to sit up but her head was throbbing and before she could fight against it the dizzyness took over and she passed out.
…
'Alexis? Alexis? Alexis, sweetie can you hear me?' as she began to wake up she could fell someone stroking her hair very softly, soothingly, but it didn't help with the throbbing pain in her head.
'Alexis? I'm gonna look after you okay? I promise, I won't let anything happen to you,' Alexis recognised the woman's voice, but her head hurt too much, she couldn't place it
'Alexis? Alexis! Sweetie I need you to wake up for me, I think you've got a concussion,' she understood what the woman was saying, and she tried, really tried, to rouse herself. But it was no good. She just wanted to sink into the darkness, to sleep.
'Alexis! Wake up, c'mon! Castle'd never forgive me if I let anything happen to you…I'd never forgive me,' a glimmer of recognition passed through her then…she knew that voice, she trusted that voice, even though lately she'd hated that voice.
It was Beckett, trying to protect her from the darkness attempting to engulfe her
Hope you liked it, thought it would be nice to have a bit of Alexis, back to Beckett again next chapter though I think. Any and all reviews appreciated, love to know what you all think :)
