Hi! I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! I am leaving the NCIS LA parts in the previous chapters, but I am not going to use any of it. I am not deleting it because I am über lazy! Nor am I using the part with Angel in it. Now, back to the story as it is now. I have decided that I cannot go anywhere in this story without adding another book to my crossover and this book is Night World! If you haven't read it, that's okay, just try to follow along. Or you could read the series, there are only three books. Or, if you are too lazy to read all three, or even one of them, just grab the third book and go to the section with Keller, the shape shifting panther, in it! Shout out to holmesian13: HI! Shape shifting panther, isn't it ironic? This book is where I got my shape shifting and panther obsession! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! BTW I loved your review!
Disclaimer: Blah, blah, I don't own anything except for my plot, shit like that…
OKAY! Now, back to your regularly scheduled story!
My POV
My heart stopped. It wasn't beating. I wasn't breathing. My brain was functioning, however. How, you ask? I don't know, so don't ask. Wait… you already did so… Bad Max! Focus! I see images of… me? She looks like me but has raven black hair all the way to her waist. I watch her as she speaks into a microphone strategically placed on her collar so you don't see it. It looks like she is telling someone something about a dragon. I see her attack a boy, the boy releases dark energy, another boy saves Keller. I see many events pertaining to Keller, and realize that she is the leader of her own little group. The group includes Nissa, who is a vampire with wicked driving skills, and Winnie, a witch whose real name is Winfrith. I see everything, up until when Keller is captured by evil vampires and they wipe her memory. Then, I see my life, all the way from the beginning. I realize that I am Keller and I am Max. I lived both lives, but I am one person. Okay... I'm cool with that. I remember everything, crystal clear. Why did it take my heart stopping for me to remember all of this? I focus hard, trying to will my heart to beat, even faintly, for a faint beat is better than death. Finally! I feel a weak thumping in my chest. Now, I focus on breathing. I try to remember how. I try, but no cigar. I try again, not even a cigarette! I try again, third time is supposed to be the charm, right? SUCCESS! I start breathing. I start to regain consciousness.
**************************CONCIOUSNESS REGAINED**************************
I open my eyes, panting. Sucking in every breath as if it were my last. I cough, sputter a bit, and look around. I try to sit up, only to have Gibbs shove me back down gently.
He says, "Max, you can't sit up. Do you remember what happened? Do you remember anything?"
I snort inside my head and think that this is a golden opportunity to toy with him. This will be fun. I reply in a hard voice, "No. I have no clue who you people are. Why are you calling me Max?" I decide to use my former name. I practically shout, even though the crowd that has gathered would most definitely hear me, "My name is KELLER! I was on a mission in Las Vegas! Where am I now? From the looks of it, I think it's D.C. Why would I be here?"
I hear a gasp from the crowd. I force myself up into a crouching position, noticing that my injuries are closing up, fast. Cool, cool. Abby notices it to, "Ducky, look at her back, it's healed!"
I stand up, not caring about the NCIS team for the moment, and scan the crowd. I see two teenage girls, about my age, whispering to each other. I remember my panther hearing and try to listen in, "Do you think it could be her? If it is, why didn't she try to get back to us as soon as she escaped from her kidnappers? She also fell from the sky. Keller wouldn't unless she was thrown from a roof."
I approach them, while McGee tries to hold me back. I whirl on him and deck him in the temple. He crumbles to the ground, unconscious. I reach the two girls, whom I now recognize to be Nissa and Winnie. I tell them, "It is me. I would have, but the vampires wiped my memory and an evil witch made me a flipping baby again but I am somehow the same age as you, and I fell from the sky… well, I'll tell you later."
"How can we be sure it is you?"
"You? You couldn't. Galen? Yes, he could. We're soulmates, remember?"
"Never mind, you just proved it. We never told a single soul about that."
"Cool."
I remember the flock. I don't have to worry because I left a note saying I would be gone for a few days and I left Fang in charge. "One sec. I have to take care of a few things."
McGee is sitting up. Ziva gives me a hard look. Abby is crouching by him, seemingly protective. Gibbs is standing there with a hard look on his face. Jenny steps in, "What were you thinking, assaulting a federal officer like that?"
I give her a sarcastic smile and say sincerely, "Sorry, McGee." and run off.
I run hard, knowing that Nissa and Winnie are following me. I feel the panther in me begin to release itself. I let out a feral growl, but stop myself from changing. I grab Nissa and Winnie's hands and I shouted, "JUMP!"
We all jump, and, managing to not hit either of them, I shoot out my wings and forced them downwards. I ascend into the air with both Winnie and Nissa holding on for dear life. Winnie's eyes look like they are going to pop out of their head any second. I look over at Nissa and she has the exact same expression. I start laughing so hard, it's funny!
I say, "This is why I fell, 'cause someone shot me in the back with a… pole launcher? It totally jacked up my wings so I couldn't fly, and a man, Tony, landed partially on me. I guess my body couldn't take it because my heart stopped. My mind was still functioning." I told them the rest of the events that took place after that, and they calmed down a bit. I look into the distance, and see black dots. My senses go into overhyperdrive. This is more intense than anything I have ever felt. I can hear whispers that are 5 miles away. See a leaf break off a branch from 7 miles away. I smell every little detail, which is not pretty, but I manage to block out the bad smells. The touch of my close friends grasping onto my hands intensifies, I can feel every pore of their skin. As for taste, let's just say I won't be eating any desert rat. I see the dots.
WHAT?
Abby POV
I watched as McGee grabbed Max's arm and tried to hold her back. I immediately tensed up, I knew that wasn't a good idea. I watched as she spun around, faster than I had ever seen before, and hit him hard on the temple. I ran forward and caught his unconscious body. He was kind of heavy, so I sat down and laid his head in my lap, stroking his hair. She should be arrested for hurting my McGee! Wait, my McGee? OMG I AM IN LOVE WITH MCGEE! I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out! Thanks to Max for helping me realize it! Though she could have done it in a less violent way. Oh well! Now we can be together, if he loves me back that is.
I hear Jenny say softly to Gibbs, "She reminds me of you, you know."
