Dangerous Crime

Chapter 1

Gibbs leaned over the pale, white body. The dead girl had been beautiful once, but now as Gibbs watched Ducky examining her, she looked like she was just skin and bones. She had bouncy brown hair which was the only part of her that looked like it had once lived. Her eyes were dark and unseeing, staring up at his face.

"All of her blood has been drained," Ducky said astonished, "And look at these markings on her neck, Jethro, it looks like she was bitten by an animal."

McGee had been standing silently next to Gibbs, now he moved to squat beside Ducky. He took out a portable piece of machinery. The machine was a fingerprint scanner and he now placed the girl's index finger on the sensor. The scanner read Katherine Peirce.

Ziva David and Tony DiNozzo were taking photos and when McGee read out the name they walked over. "You're not serious?" Tony asked. "Katherine Peirce is the girl who was accused of being a vampire in 1864."

"We don't believe in vampires, DiNozzo." Just as Gibbs said the words DiNozzo cut himself on a piece of barbed wire he hadn't seen attached to a fence next to Katherine. The single drop of blood that he lost fell straight into Katherine's mouth.

Katherine's eyes fluttered and she sat up grabbing at ducky. Ducky and McGee immediately stood and moved away. Gibbs grabbed Katherine by the arms and held her back. Whilst Ziva stood still Tony lunged backwards with Ducky. Katherine started thrashing about an Ziva had to help Gibbs hold her back.

Just as all this was happening 2 boys and a girl, who looked exactly like Katherine, ran into the crime scene ignoring the officers who tried to stop them. One of the boys ran to embrace Katherine in a hug.

"What do you think you're doing?" Gibbs shouted at them, "This is a crime scene."

The boy that was hugging Katherine let her go and pulled Gibbs away from her. Immediately Katherine jumped up and lunged towards the NCIS team. The other boy then ran and grabbed her.

"No, Katherine, you can't have them." He whispered into her ear.

"Who are you?" Gibbs nearly yelled at them, as the girl was joining them.

"I'm Elena Gilbert," She said, looking nervously at Katherine. "And this is Stefan," She gestured to the one holding Katherine back, "And Damon Salvatore."
