I do not own Castle or the characters.

This is my first story. Thanks for any reviews.

….

Castle woke up that morning in his chair and a blanket around him. He realised that Alexis had put his laptop away and given him a blanket and a pillow. He loved how his daughter had a great caring nature about her. He could smell bacon and coffee coming from the kitchen. He got up and stumbled to the kitchen where he saw his red headed daughter cooking breakfast.

"How are you, pumpkin?" castle said half asleep

"Ok how about you?"

"Fine, thanks for last night. You made me really happy".

"My pleasure"

"I'm going to go out and do some stuff. Are you ok to get to school?"

"Yeah, you go out. You need the fresh are."

Castle went to the shower and got ready to go. He went down stairs and he went for a walk down to the local shops. There was a café that Castle always stop at and got himself a coffee and today was no different, but there was someone in there who he would rather not see.

"Hi josh," Castle walked over to him to see what he was doing here. "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing much just getting some coffee and a muffin." Replied Josh.

"So what are you doing today? Have you got much work?" castle ask to see if he had heard from Beckett.

"Ah, just work it flu season, so it's pretty busy."

"I have got to go but it was nice to see you" Castle got his coffee and walked out. He wasn't sure about his feelings towards Josh. He seemed like a nice guy and he treated Kate in the nicest way. He was not sure about Becketts feeling towards Josh but there was something strange and Castle could see that. Castle walked to the precinct and went and saw Esposito.

"Hey, bro. Have you seen Beckett?" castle said to Esposito with a small pat on the back.

"No, not yet. I think she might be having the day of with Josh"

"That weird because I just saw Josh at the coffee shop and he said he was going to work today." Castle looked puzzled. Beckett would never skip work even if it was paper work. She loved her job.

"No, Castle I know that look and Beckett just needs some time to have a break." Esposito saw the look on Castles face. He knew that he marvellously stupid mind was planning something.

"Who said I was planning something"

… Beckett was trying to get up for work but she didn't have the motivation that she always had. Knowing that Castle would be there kind of put gave her a down mood. She heard a crash in the kitchen. She had no idea what it was but she thought it might have been Castle again, but she knew that he didn't have the ignorance to go against Beckett in a time like this. She grabbed her dads watch and her mother's ring and entered the kitchen.

"Castle is that you?" she yelled out. No one replied. Beckett could see that the box that she kept her gun in was open and her gun was gone. She crept into the kitchen. Before she could grab anything she went blank.

…

"Beckett, are you there" castle knocked on the door of her apartment. The door swung open. He crept into her apartment and saw a trail of blood from her kitchen to her bedroom. Castle grabbed a knife and went into the bedroom. The door was closed. He reached for the door handle.

"Beckett, are you in there?" there was no reply. Castle entered the room. The first thing he noticed was the women on the bed. Beckett had a large gash on her head. He dropped the knife on the floor.

"Beckett, wake up, please wake up?" Castle ran to the edge of bed and put his hands to the edge of her face.

"Beckett I love you"

Then he blanked out.

…..

Esposito was sitting at his desk. It was late at night and he hadn't heard anything from Beckett or Castle. It was really weird for that to happen. Beckett had always called whenever she was away to make sure she hadn't missed out on away important work. He decieded to call beckett to make sure that she was ok.

"Hi, this is Kate. Sorry I can't get to the phone right now so please leave a message" Esposito hung up the phone. He looked at his contact list and found Castle number.

"Hi this is rick, please leave a message after the beep." At this point Esposito was getting a bit worried. It was odd for Beckett to have her phone off or not charged and even weirder for the both of them to have their phones of at the same time.

He turned to the desk oppisit him and saw his partner doing some paper work.

"hey bro, have you heard anything from beckett or Castle?"

"no, why? Do you think they have gotten themselfes in trouble again?"

"maybe. I haven't heard anything from them."

"have you called alexis"

"no, but im about to bro"

Espostio pick up his phone again and scrolled to the name "little castle". The phone rang a couple times before the young girl answer

"Hello detective. How are you today?"

"Good thanks, have you seen your Dad"

"Sorry no I haven't. Not since this morning. Why is there something wrong? Is he ok" the girl asked anxious about her dad.

"No we just don't know where he or Beckett have gotten to"

"Really I think they may have had a fight before"

"Really that is new news"

"I will talk to you soon"

Esposito turned his head towards Ryan and gave him a look that instantly made Ryan understand.

"why don't we wait till tomorrow, then call them again" ryan said looking at his worried partner

….

Beckett woke up with her arms aching and they were tied up behind her. When she finally woke up she could see that she was in a dark room. She tried to move her hands but she touched someone else's.

"Mmm, oh my head"

Beckett knew exactly who was behind her.

"Castle is that you" said Beckett

"Beckett?"

"Castle, are you ok?"

"Where are we?"

"I don't know. Are you ok?

"Yeah my head hurts a little" Castle loved her caring nature. She always made sure that Castle was alright and told him that they were going to be ok.

"Do you remember anything, Castle?"

"Ah, I went into your apartment and saw blood on the floor from your kitchen to your bedroom. I grabbed a knife and went to you bedroom door. I didn't hear anything so I entered. You were lying on the bed and…. I went blank" Castle didn't know whether to tell Beckett about his confession. It may have made things worse especially while they were locked in a room. Castle didn't like to fight with Beckett but sometimes he had to tell her what he had on his minds.

"What about you, do you remember anything?" Castle asked

"Not much more than you. I woke up in the middle of the night and heard something. I went to the kitchen and then I blanked out. Let's try and get out of these chairs."

"Ok"

There was a loud banging at the door when suddenly in swung open.
