Since Skylar 'Sky' Collins met Aaron Hotchner and was introduced to the world of law enforcement her life has been far from normal and ordinary. But Sky's life has been different. She lost her parents when she was a baby and was adopted by a nice family. Her life was fine until her Uncle Shane Matthews entered it and changed it. Sky thought he loved her but he didn't. He threatened her and would beat her if she refused to do what he tells her. When Sky met Supervisory Special Agent Aaron Hotchner Unit Chief of the BAU in Quantico, Virginia her life changed when she became an FBI agent and her mentor looked out for her just like her father would if he was still alive. While Sky was good friends with Hotch and her fellow teammates: David Rossi, Emily Prentiss, Derek Morgan, Spencer Reid, Jennifer 'JJ' Jareau and Penelope Garcia she never told them about her uncle or about him beating her. Then one night Sky was at the office late with the rest of the team finishing off paperwork for some recent cases when Hotch came out of his office and told everyone that it was late and to go home. Morgan offered to drive Sky home and she accepted his offer not liking the idea of walking home late at night in the dark. During the ride Morgan and Sky talked about the amount of paperwork they kept getting then Morgan joked about making Spencer do their work for them as he could finish his work so quick. After Morgan dropped her off he headed off to his apartment. When Sky entered her apartment she saw Shane waiting for her and he was not happy. "Where the hell have you been?!" He yelled at her. "I'm sorry, Uncle Shane. I didn't know you were in town. The team and I had paperwork to finish and I lost track of time-" She started to explain but Shane suddenly slapped her across the face cutting her off. But before Sky could respond Shane pushed her back, she lost her footing and fell to the ground as she started to get back up Shane used his foot to push her back down. Then he started kicking and punching her while she cried out in pain. Sky knew that she couldn't take anymore of his beating. "Uncle Shane please stop this." She said but he didn't care. "Stop? You Supervisory Special Agent Skylar Collins want me to stop? Well, sorry but I'm afraid I can't do that. Not since I'm just getting started with you." He said with a wicked grin. Sky had absolutely no idea what he meant by that. Then it hit her. Now she knew how afraid and frightened a victim feels. Panicking for her life Sky tried to plead with her uncle. "No Uncle Shane no please!" Shane just laughed at her weak excuse for him to stop. Then he raped her. Sky was finding it harder to try and fight back and she tried to imagine herself in a safer place. That was when Hotch's face came into her mind. 'If you need anything Sky. I'm here as well as the team. We're here whenever you need us.' She remembered Hotch telling her that when she joined the team. 'I'll be safe with him. He'll protect me as will the rest of the team.' Her mind stated. She just had to wait till Shane got tired then she could leave. When Shane finally got bored and left the apartment the door slamming behind him had let Sky know she was alone. She carefully got up wincing at the pain but she was determined to get out of this place she called hell. She filled a duffle bag with all her stuff and put it in her car with her go-bag then she got in the car and drove off in the direction of Hotch's place. While she was driving she wondered about Jack Hotch's son then she remembered he was with Hotch's sister-in-law Jessica all Sky wanted was to worry Jack if he saw her in pain. Then she thought about the first time she met him and how he was so sweet and how he seemed to looked at her like she was his sister. When Sky got to Hotch's place she grabbed her bags and walked up to the door and knocked hoping Hotch was awake. But by now the pain was throbbing and she doubled over in pain.
