Kate watched him sit down, Have I ever lied to you? ……… you don’t have to stay if you are that scared of me.
Kate walked softy toward the stairs not stopping until she reached her room.
Once Kate repelled to her room she shut her door but not all the way. Kate turned around and walked to her bed laying down to just stare at the ceiling

"In the three whole days that I've known you? Probably not..." he said quietly, looking up at her. That was the truth, he'd only actually been around her for three whole days, then he woke up one morning alone and she had left. Now she was back and he felt a bit strange. It was like seeing a terrifying ghost. He was happy, happier then ever that she had returned, but hadn't expected her to be so blunt about what she had done. She just came right out with it, telling him what she had done. He was glad that she had lied, but that truth was somewhat harsh.
He watched her go up the stairs and a few minutes after he'd collected himself, followed her. He walked up the stairs and down the hall to her room to find that she hadn't closed the door all the way. He could see her lying on the bed, just staring up at the ceiling. He walked in quietly and looked over at her. "I'm not scared of you Kate..." he said quietly as he walked over and sat on the floor beside the bed. |

Kate did not even blink as he said that he wasn’t scared. Kate listened to his foot steps as he crossed her wooden floor, then as he sat on the floor near the bed..
Kate simpley replied with Then why are you uneasy?
There was a long silence before Kate finally said something I’m sorry I left like that, but I am not sorry about what I did. kate remained looking up at the ceiling there was only one brief moment that I did not think about you and that was when I was killing them. I did not think of anything then. kate went quiet again as her eyes reframed from moving.

"Because..." he started quietly. "The truth stunned me a bit. Even the worst of people in this world don't deserve such cruel torture..." he said, looking over at her even though she didn't look at him. Her eyes just stayed on the ceiling. "You killed them in cold blooded rage." his tones were quiet, but not shaky or nervous. He didn't think she would hurt him, and that was why he wasn't scared of her. He's killed a man before, but it was only in self defense. She killed these people in cold blood, and the worst part was that she wasn't thinking anything. Her mind was clear and collected as she killed them.
He didn't say anything then as she said she was sorry about leaving him like that. He'd fallen apart when she just left him like that. He had been alone confused a bit hurt about everything, and now his feelings were collected and he didn't seem uneasy like he did before. He spoke with calm tones as he looked at her. He didn't like this part of her, but he knew that everyone had another side to them. All people were two faced, whether they want to admit it or not. |

Kate just laid there half listening to him. How in the hell can he think that those men did not get what was coming?! Kate though to herself. After a minute Kate sat up and looked at Hannibal but she said nothing.
Kate stood up and walked to her dresser opening the two doors pulling out a black bikini. Kate looked at Hannibal one more time before heading toward her bathroom. Once inside the bath room Kate shut the door and changed into her bikini then wrapped a towel around her hips and walked back out into her room.
Kate walked through her room and out into the hall then down the stairs. Kate headed for the indoor pool but did not turn into the pool room but kept going straight until she came to a glass door. Kate pushed the door open and walked outside to the outdoor pool. Kate laid her towel on the chair and slowly stepped down the ladder into the water.
The sun was hot and warmed the water just a little bit.

Hannibal watched her as she got up and looked at him but said nothing. She made her way over to the dresser and pulled out a black bikini and went to the bathroom where she changed. Kate emerged with a towel wrapped around her hips and still said nothing. She walked out of the room and down the stairs. Hannibal ran his fingers through his hair and breathed out a heavy sigh. He'd thought seeing her would have been better. He'd hoped it would have been great to see her again. He'd missed her more then he could ever explain and here he was, alone again. It felt as though he wasn't with Kate anymore. She had changed too much over the time she'd been gone and he didn't feel the same around her.
The darkness in her core had taken over too much and he was worried about her. He'd been worried about her since the day she left, and the longer she was away from him, the less human he felt. He hadn't been himself and he'd come to find a lot of different things soothing. He'd picked up marijuana while she was gone, along with cutting. He’d hung out with this dude whose girlfriend had left him in one night as well. Sure he didn't know if they were considered to be boyfriend/girlfriend, but he'd still be left alone with the same situation. A note saying that she couldn't tell him where she'd went, and that was almost a year that he'd been alone. Hannibal explained how he was feeling and they both had said at some point in the conversation that they didn't feel the same. That's when he'd showed Hannibal his scars from cutting. He'd shied away from it a bit at first, but as he explained how it made him feel Hannibal picked up the habits.
Spilling his own blood made him feel human again, and it took away the pain of missing her. Marijuana had helped him see through the reality that he lived in and it relaxed his nerves quite a bit, instead of always being tense. Now his head ached as he thought. He needed to find Daniel again to get some more from him. He looked at the doorway, still seeing that Kate was gone. He sighed heavily and stood up a bit. He didn't know if he should follow her out there because he didn't have anything more to say to her. He walked into the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. He was only a shadow of what he used to be. He wasn't the same person either, but at least he wasn't a murderer. He rolled up his sleeves and splashed a little bit of water on his face as he seen the cuts on his wrists. He brushed them gently with the warm water and tears welled up in his eyes. |

As Kate swam through the water in the outdoor pool the sun beamed down making the water shinny and hard to see her body when she was under the water.
After five minutes in the pool Kate got out and wrapped herself in a towel. As she looked up she seen Jason holding a hand gun pointed right at her.
Jason- Kate started then roughly cut off
Shut up!! Jason yelled then he pulled the trigger, a loud crack rang through the air as the bolt dug itself in to Kate’s chest. Kate gasped as the pain hit her. Kate stumbled forward grabbing Jason head twisting it in a matter that would break every single bone in his damn neck.
As Jason’s eyes rolled back he fell to his lifeless knees then his upper body hit the ground.
Kate turned to face the house, the upper part of Kate’s towel was covered in blood and she stumbled forward towards the glass door, but lost her balance as the shock of the gun shot took its toll. Kate fell to the ground the pained expression on her face was heart shattering.
Kate’s breaths were short and fast as if she had a hard time breathing.

Hannibal heard the gun shot and looked out the window. His eyes widened as he saw the familiar guy from the night he first met Kate and he'd been beating her up in the alley. He pulled out his cell phone and dialed a short number. 9... 1... 1. he murmured quietly as he rushed down the stairs. He took them two sometimes three at a time as he tried his best to remember how far down the pool room was. He got down there and ran down the hall as he explained what he'd seen. They said they had an ambulance on their way right now. He watched as Jason fell to his knees and then his torso hit the ground.
Hannibal seen her collapse and a pained expression showed on her face. He ran over to her, but knew he couldn't do anything else. He didn't want to hurt her. "Kate... Stay with me alright. Take even breaths. The ambulance will be here shortly." he said as he seen all the blood on the towel. That bastard Jason... He couldn't believe it. She gets home, things don't go well for them and she was now dying. He wished he would have followed her down. He could have been the one to take the shot and not her. He closed his eyes slightly as the look on her face crushed his heart. |

Kate heard his voice, Kate looked into his eyes, tears rolled down her face H-h-Hannibal. Kate stuttered his name as she reached up to place her bloody hand on the side of his face. Kate coughed as she has her breathing stay short and rough with a little bit of weezing.
Kate’s eyes started to dilate. Kate grabbed Hannibal’s hand and placed it over the wound Press…down to… help stop… t-the bleeding spoke very shakily as she tried to tell him how to help her.

Her hand came up to his face as she stuttered his name. He could feel the slickness of her fingers that were bloody as they touched his pale features. He carefully pressed down against the bullet wound, hoping that he didn't hurt her. He pushed down carefully, feeling the hotness of the injury. Her body was trying to stop the bleeding, but new blood kept spilling out which stopped her skin from being able to scab. He ran his fingers through her hair as her breathing was still short and choppy. "I'm here for you Kate... Don't you dare leave me..." he begged, tears welling up in his eyes as the tears rolled down her features. He could hear the sirens getting closer but he stayed with her. He'd told them where they would be so he hoped they could get in. He kneeled beside her, staying close as he looked into her eyes, pleading her to stay with him. "Talk to me Kate... Saying anything..." his voice was soft as he spoke and begged her to talk to him. He wished they could have gotten off better when she got home. He wished it wouldn't have been so rough. "I'm so sorry I questioned you Kate. I know the anger you must have been feeling... I just wish that things had gone better..." |

Kate tried to listen to what he was saying but her eyes kept getting heavier and heavier, Kate started fading away going to sleep. k-keep me…a-wake… kate’s words were extremely weak and faded as she held his hand the pressure from him pushing on her chest hurt so badly but by pushing down on the wound Hannibal could be saving her life.

"C'mon Kate, stay with me. You can't leave me again." He said, tapping her face gently, but hard enough to keep her awake. He ran his fingers through her hair and kept an even pressure on the wound. He heard the screech of the ambulance tires outside the house. "C'mon Kate, you're almost home free. Stay with me and you'll be fine. Help is here. I won't be able to survive without you..." he said quietly, thinking of how he was when she'd left him before. "Please Kate, don't let me fall again..." He begged as he pushed a little harder, but was pushed out of the way by the men that had a stretcher.
They lifted her carefully and one applied pressure as the other strapped her in. They gave a dirty look at Hannibal, as if accusing him and they pushed they carried the stretcher into the ambulance. A third man arrived, helping carry the stretcher as they other applied pressure. Hannibal followed the three of them, glancing over at Jason before jogging after them. The blood was smeared on his face from her fingers and it was all over his hands from applying pressure to stop the bleeding. |

Kate tried to talk to Hannibal but no words would come out of her mouth. Kate’s eyes slowly closed she could no longer keep them open.
Kate felt Hannibal’s hand being ripped from under hers. Then she heard other men talking. Then felt them carrier.
As they pull kate into the ambulance they slammed the door close and sped off down the huge drive and sped toward the hospital. The two men in the back with Kate put a heart rater on her chest and a side closest to her heart.
Half way there Kate’s heart flat lined as the alarm sounded alerting the men that her heart has stopped.
She’s flat lining! one of the men yelled and the ambulance sped up. The two men started up reviver Clear! the second men said loudly.
The first man placed one right above her chest and the other one on her side. The heart rater started to beep again with the rate of Kate’s heart. The men waited a minute before returning the reviver shocks to their place.
-At the hospital-
As the ambulance came to a stop doctors ran out to get her. Rushing her right into surgery.
-Four hours later-
A female doctor came out into the waiting room her walk was slow and almost sad. She looked around then said Anyone where for a Kate Payne then she said Kate is in the I.C.U. We took the bolt out and patched her up. The bolt punctured her lung and just barely missed her heart. She is in a coma and sadly we do not know if she will make it through the night. The doctor paused then told him You can see her now maybe if she hears a familiar voice she may come out of it.

Hannibal got onto his motorbike and followed the ambulance closely all the way to the hospital. They hadn't allowed him in because he wasn't family, but that didn't stop him from following. He got to the hospital and was forced to stay in the waiting room like everyone else. He asked them to notify him when there was any news. He found a seat in a corner away from everyone else and held his head in his hands, hoping that she would be alright.
------- Four long, dreadful hours later -------
He watched a doctor come out from the halls and she had a sad look about her as she stopped and looked around. Hannibal nearly leapt out of his seat when he heard the doctor ask if anyone was here for Kate Payne. He walked over to her, and listened carefully as she explained Kate's condition. Hannibal's hands shook in fear as he listened to her words. They didn't even know if she would make it through the night... let alone when she might possibly wake up from her coma... if ever. He nodded as he swallowed and walked toward her room.
His heart sank as he looked at her through the window, hesitant about going in there. This was the second time he was here with her, looking onto her face as she laid quietly. This time, he didn't know if she would wake up. Before he'd at least known that she would heal and be fine in a few weeks. He walked in carefully and a cold chill ran up his spine. He hated hospitals for they felt like death. People in here were either very sick or they were dying. It scared him to see all these people. He looked at her in silence for a minute as he shut the door behind him.
He stroked the soft skin on her arm as he looked onto her face. Tears welled up in his eyes as he looked at her. "Hi..." he said quietly. "The doctor said the bullet barley missed your heart..." his tones were very soft and shaky. He cleared his throat softly. "... I don't know what I'm gonna do if you leave me like this..." he held her hand in his as he gently let his fingers grace the skin on her face. "When you left me before... I... I didn't do so well. I really fell apart... And when you wrote that last letter saying that you would come I was so happy, that I almost cried... I don't care what you did while you were over in Europe; I just want you to stay with me." he spoke in shaken tones. He sat quietly for a minute and nervously pulled at his sleeves, keeping them over his hands so none of his scars showed. |

Kate barely heard Hannibal’s voice. She wanted to talk to him she wanted to open her eyes but none of these Kate could do.
Kate felt his hands hold her hand and then she felt him stroke her face. Kate tried hard to move her fingers to let him know she was listening. Kate wanted to cry as Hannibal explained how he felt and a single tear rolled down her face from her closed eye.
After five minutes of trying with everything she has Kate finally was able to make her index finger twitch, it was a very small movement but if you were careful you would have been able to feel it just a little bit.
Kate’s heart beat started to slow way down then it stopped an alarm sounded again alerting everyone that her heart stopped again. Doctors rushed in pushing Hannibal out of the way. They started up the reviver again placing the shockers on her side and chest… nothing... again they shocked her… nothing... one last time they shocked her… nothing.
After 20 seconds the doctor said Time? Just as the other doctor starting telling her the time of death Kate’s heart rater started to beat again.
We have a pulse! she said with a huge smiled on her face It’s strong too.
After making sure everything was back in order and running fine all the Doctors returned to what they were doing. One by one they walked back through the door.
