Previous: She opened her eyes and saw…
The most beautiful stars shining in the night.
"Wow Espo, its amazing!" Kate said.
She loves seeing the stars above her. Because she lives in NYC you cant see the stars at night very well due to all the lights from the city.
So that's why she loves being outside away from the city and just sit and watch the night with his shiny stars.
She had told Espo once she liked that and that's why he showed her this.
"Yes I know you like it Kate. That's why I took you here." Espo answered.
They sat down and watched the stars. Kate even saw a falling star so she made a wish.
She wished that it would be a fun camping trip. She knew it sounded kinda cliché but she didn't care.
She loves hanging out with the boys.
After what felt like hours they went back to Ryan and Castle.
"So where are you two coming from?" Castle asked with a smile.
"Yes, tell us. Did you do something that we couldn't see or hear?" Ryan laughed.
"Maybe something kinky?" Castle asked with a big smile on his face.
"Ooh shut up." Kate said, "We saw some stars, that's all."
"Yes, that's all." Espo said.
They talked some more until they got tired and went to get ready to go to bed.
They had the same routine as the night before, being Kate going in the tent to change first and then the boys.
"Can I sleep between you again? Its kinda cold at night." Kate asked while the boys finished getting ready to go to bed.
"Sure." Castle answered.
"Okay guys, bedtime stories!" Castle yelled.
"You're not serious about a story right?" Beckett asked.
"I am when it's a horror story. You aren't afraid of a story right? Or are you gonna get nightmares?" Castle said.
"Okay fine, go ahead with your story. I don't think you can scare any of us." Beckett said while getting comfy in her sleeping bag.
"Okay here I go: Long time ago there were 4 people camping, just like we are.
They were having fun, went swimming and had campfires. One night it suddenly started raining, so they went to bed early.
At the middle of the night one of the guys woke up because he needed to go to the bathroom. He got out of the tent and walked away.
The next thing his friends here is a scream. Right at that moment there was a strike of lightning very close and they could see a man with an axe.
When they went outside to look for their friend they couldn't found him anywhere. They haven't seen him since.
But they do know some guy with an axe walks around in the forests and he will strike when there is a thunderstorm. So beware….." Castle finished his horror story.
Right at that moment there was a flash of lighting.
Beckett, Espo and Ryan all three shot up from their sleeping bags.
"That was awesome!" Castle said. "I mean, what are the chances that would happen right after I told you guys this." He yawned and said: "Well, im going to sleep. Goodnight."
"Goodnight." All three detectives said.
In the middle of the night Castle woke up hearing something. He noticed that during the night it had started to rain.
He heard a soft whimper coming from something next to him. He looked at his left and saw Kate shaking a bit.
He saw she was crying.
Before he could even try to comfort her they both heard a loud scream.
Ryan sat right up. Apparently he had a nightmare.
This also woke Espo up, who on his turn had been having trouble falling asleep that night.
When Ryan had calmed down enough he said: "Castle, never ever tell a horror story again. You know what, I never been scared of a story before, but this one.. it was too scary." Espo immediately agreed.
Then Castle remembered what he was going to do. "Kate?" he asked while getting closer to her.
She had completely covered herself with her sleeping bag. He pulled her with her sleeping bag closer and started to comfort her.
He couldn't see her face but he knew she was sad. "Kate, im sorry about the story. I thought it was fun to tell you it and make the guys all scary. I didn't knew it was that scary." Castle said.
"I know Castle, and I will be fine. I just freaked because I had a nightmare and I opened my eyes just when there was a flash of lightning and some of those tree branches and they kinda looked like a man with an axe.
I know it sounds stupid but I just wanted to cry a bit. Let my tears fall out. I feel better now." Beckett explained.
"Ahh, did our little sis got scared of some trees?" Espo said.
"Shut up Espo. And im not the one who woke up all up with his girly scream." Beckett laughed and Castle and Espo joined her.
"Yeah you guys laugh. It wasn't funny to me. Lets just try to get some more sleep." Ryan said. They all agreed.
Esposito and Ryan fell asleep very quick.
When Castle started to drift to a sleep he felt Beckett get closer to him.
He put an arm around her and they both fell asleep.
