Ch. 3 Somebody Save Me
(Castle's P.O.V)
I couldn't remember when my body had finally gone numb or how I even ended up in this current situation. It had been 24 hours since last seeing my fiery Muse, and in that time frame she and I had almost died not once, not twice, but three times. And now it would seem that Death would finally get its claim on my soul as this was time number four and from the looks of things; I wouldn't get out of it. All I could think about was Beckett and how grateful I was to Fate that she wasn't with me for lucky time number four. Oh what I wouldn't give to see her one last time and too finally, finally confess to her my undying love.
"Oh Castle would you stop being so overly dramatic because you and I both know that you won't die." Lovely, here I am suspended upside down like some discarded model airplane, breathing my dying breaths and out of all the possible hallucinogenic voices I could be hearing; Beckett is the one my mind chooses to produce. Or maybe the people who did this to me weren't completely heartless and decided to give me something to…ease the pain and make it as remotely comfortable as possible.
With what little strength I had left, I decided that it wouldn't hurt to confirm my suspicions of answer b. I faintly grunted as I began opening my eyes, hoping against all odds for a third option; Beckett and the cavalry coming to my rescue before it was curtain call for me. "Be..c..k..e..t..t…?" Working my upside angle the best I could, I felt my eyes warily searching the wannabe torture room/basement; which in my opinion could be given a remodeling, for any sign of the voice's host. Of course it would be in this very moment when I begin feeling the cold, outstretched hand of Death reaching out to me. "Kate…please help me…."
(A/N: Mwahaha the evil cliff hanger! Don't worry though because the best is yet to come and I would like to take this time and thank everyone who has reviewed this story so far as well as this to their story alerts. I will update again tomorrow and until then, don't forget to read and review, thanks!)
