CH.1.Voices In The Dark

Disembodied voices were talking in the background. She recognized the people that were talking and it seemed like they were talking to her, but she couldn´t answer. She couldn´t find the source of the words that were spoken. She looked around but there was only darkness. She tried to move but it seemed like she was rooted to the ground. The voices were getting closer and they were growing in number. She tried to scream but she couldn´t find her own voice. The voices was right above her and the whole room was spinning, she tried to shut everything out but she couldn´t.
She sat on her knees and covered her ears in pain. Suddenly the voices stopped and the room was stopped spinning, it was like she was in the eye of the storm. Suddenly she heard the voice of a little girl. The girl was singing, no,she was humming.

" Hey princess!" An older man called out.

" Only my dad calls me princess" The girl said with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

" Well, I´m your uncle so I should be able to call you that, right?" He asked her in a little child like voice.

"... Yeah..." You could hear the hesitation in her innocent little voice.

" Let´s make a deal. While you´re parents away I´ll call you princess so that you won´t miss them as much ,huh?"

" Alright" She said happily as she continued playing.

Then then the voices came back and they were stronger than ever. And somewhere in the room there was a shrill ringing that was bouncing between the unseen walls. The high pitched noise just got louder and louder until...

"Ahh!" Emily Prentiss shot up in bed. She was cold sweating and and breathing heavily, like she´d been running around the block ten times. She didn´t have time to register that she was awake or to catch her breath before she picked up her phone.

" Prentiss" She answered with her normally cold and calm, but now stressed, voice.

" Hey Em! Sorry to call you this early but, we have a case." The sympathetic voice of JJ said. Emily could almost see the pregnant womans face as she had to call in the cavalry.

" I´m on my way. I´ll be there in about 20. Bye" She hung up and glanced sideways at the clock on her crowded nightstand."Note to self: Read or put the books away" The green digital numbers showed that the time was 03.34 in the morning. Emily gave away a little annoyed groan before heading for a quick shower.

She was the first one to enter "the round table". She had already grabbed a cup of coffee before heading up the stairs so she decided that to take a seat. She sat down furthest from the black screen. That was a habit she´d had since high school. She always took a seat as far away from the main event of the room as possible, she did it because then the teachers usually don´t give you the question, you won´t have all eyes on you and you can won´t have people teasing and joking around behind you. That was then, now it had become a habit.

"Morning" Came a very gruff sound from the door opening.

Emily turned slightly around to be faced by a tired looking supervisor. It looked like he hadn´t slept for days and the fact that he had forgotten to shave gave the slightest impression of a very discouraged man. His eyes were glassy and his clothes were wrinkled." Did he fall asleep at the office? And what is that smell?" Before she had a chance to register it the man in question had taken the seat next to her and she was overwhelmed by the powerful smell of alcohol. She wanted to move away a little because the smell mas so intensive but she couldn´t.

"Morning. Are you feeling good? You don´t look so good" She masked her thoughts well.

" No I´m good. I just fell asleep at the office." He answered truthfully. Ever since New York they had become more friend-like than before. They often talked on the jets and they sat next to each other in the briefings. Emily figured that it had something to do with his hearing. He was drawing himself closer to her than the rest of the team because she didn´t push, she didn´t ask many questions,she waited for him to tell her.

" Your bruises are healing well" He stated without looking at her. He´d done that a lot lately. He looked away when they were talking about something personal but sometimes she found him staring at her." I wonder what´s up?"

"Yeah. I can hardly feel them anymore." That was a lie, they stung with each move she made. But she wasn´t about to confess to that, especially not to her supervisor. She didn´t want to stay at home and remember. She was right where she needed to be.

" That´s good." He knew it was a lie. He knew that they still hurt. But he also knew that he couldn´t question her, not now when they finally connected. He didn´t want to hurt her feelings, not again. He never wanted to see her hurt ever again. He could admit that his feelings for his subordinate had grown deeper this last few weeks, but it was against the rules and he couldn´t do that to her. He just couldn´t take the chance.

" I wish I could read you." She thought

" I wish I could touch you" He thought

They shared a long look before the rest of the team arrived.
