This is my first venture into pure Criminal Minds FF, but I must mention that the show is amazing! Please let me know what you think. (They are short, but what I think Emily would say.)

A/N: These are just a small collection of "messages" Emily sends the team while in Europe. I plan on having one message for each member. Originally it was just the messages, but after rereading this, it really felt... bland. So the entire thing will be revamped and will include the team getting their notes. Also, may include hints for a new story arc I'm working on. :D

Morgan,

I think I owe you one of the biggest apologies. You knew something was happening but instead of letting you in, I blocked you out. I thought it would be the safest for everyone. I just couldn't imagine losing any of you. But it just made things so much worse didn't it? I am so sorry.

You were my partner and I should've trusted you implicitly. But Doyle is something none of you have ever dealt with before. I would've been fine; no even glad to do anything to protect you guys. You are my family. So I just shut down.

Your strength and courage is incredibly admirable. I wish I had the same. Maybe things might've turned out differently if I had. I like to believe so. I know that I've destroyed probably all the trust you've had for me, but I needed to be able to tell you this. At least before something else happens.

I know you might never forgive me and I completely understand. I just had to tell you that I'm sorry. Don't stay mad at Hotch and JJ forever. They went through their own form of hell making sure Emily Prentiss was dead. Somewhere in you, I hope there's something that will forgive them. Hate me if you want (which I rightfully earned) but don't turn on them.

When you found me that night, I was ready to die. To make sure that Doyle would stay away for good. But all I remembered was your voice slamming through the haze. You made me fight and kept me alive. For that I can never repay you. I miss you so much. Your jokes and innuendoes and everything that you did to make the team laugh. Stay strong and be who you are; if not for yourself then for Reid and Garcia. They need some like you to lean on. I know I don't deserve any favours, but please stay together. All of you. Love you.

~Emily.

He hadn't believed it. In fact, he had refused to believe it was true when JJ had announced that Emily was still alive. There was no way. His minds simply refused to wrap around it. She wouldn't have left them like that. They would've protected her. There was no way Prentiss would've done somethings so brash.

But as he had stared down at the small, folded peice of paper in his hands, a sickening feeling had entered his gut. Around him, the rest of the team were still going through various degrees of shock, all but JJ and Hotch. Morgan still couldn't look at their team leader.

Slowly, and with shaking hands, he had unfolded the note, reading it siltently to himself. He kept his head bowed, not willing to let the others see the pain that had flashed across his eyes. It was so Emily to still be looking out for them. A soft sigh escaped his lips and he had to force the tears down.

"I'm sorry Morgan." He heard JJ whisper from above him. He refused to look up. Even if Emily had asked to forgive her and Hotch, he couldn't do it yet. In fact, there was no way in hell he would forgive Prentiss anytime soon. He felt the anger begin to rise through the pain and saddness and he ground his teeth.

How in the hell had she just packed up and left? Didn't she know how much damage it would've done? He felt like punching something or someone and his hands clenched unconsciously into fist, crumpling his note. Intantly, something peirced the anger and he quickly flattened it onto the table, unwilling to destroy the only piece of her he had left. Something occured to him then.

"JJ, why are you showing us these now?"

Yes, Morgan's reaction was a bit... unsteady. But take into fact Emily has pretty much returned from the dead even though she isn't actually featured. So, thanks for reading. :D
