Story: Let me hear your silence (pt.1)

SUMMARY:

Remy Le Beau escaped from Dr Sinister's labs 3 years ago, but why can't he forget the beautiful golden eyes of the grieving boy he saw before his planned escape? He couldn't help but feel like he left his mind behind. Left it behind with the boy with the skeleton body, lanky chestnut hair, and haunting eyes.

Prologue

On the night of his tenth birthday, his life changed. Spencer Reid had been living with his mother, Diana Reid, struggling to help her mind from deteriorating any further when his father left them with no goodbyes except for a hastily scrawled note that said,

I'm sorry

After watching his mother break down in uncontrollable tears, he sat there and watched numbly as she slowly lost her mind to the voices in her head. Days passed before his mother was coherent enough to finally acknowledge him, but by then the stress of everything had already crashed down on Spencer's little shoulders, rendering his mind in to a constant mess of anxiety.

Everything tasted like ashes, the world around him lost all its color and everyday was a desperate juggle between home life and school life, and he did everything he could to keep their lives from crumbling but in the end it was not enough to keep them away...keep the police and Social services away...

They tore into his house like a force of nature and upended their lives again for the second time. Eleven year old Spencer could do nothing but watch helplessly as Social services were called in to whisk them away. He still remembers the looming building they were brought to, and the smell of freshly painted walls and dust lingering in the air of the room they were placed in.

How could he forget that life-changing day?

How could he forget the last day he saw his mother? The last day he saw her beautiful smile, sparkling blue eyes and warm, warm hands that embraced him in safe and gentle hugs. It was the last day he saw her coherent. Coherent enough to struggle and fight against the five guards pinning her on to the ground, coherent enough to recognize that they were going to take her child away from her forever and aware enough to scream for him to "Run Spence! RUN!"

But his young mind was paralyzed in fear, he could not leave the only person he had in the world here...in this horrible place! His body froze in paralyzing terror and he did not even flinch when he felt his mother's presence brush against his mind. It was the first time he felt the whisper of his mother's loving touch against his mind, and the last time he felt it.

Before he knew what happened, he heard a loud bang and the sound of something heavy hit the ground with a thud. Dazedly, his eyes automatically seeked out the origin of the noise and he found himself staring at his mother's lifeless, dull eyes. Spencer jerked back and violently hit the wall behind him but all he could feel was that lifeless gaze on his skin. Distantly, he heard a hysterical babble of whimpers and sobs, and he did not realize it was him until something black blocked his vision. At first he thought this must be what death feels like, pain that feels like his chest was being ripped in half and his mind being cruelly stabbed, but the black blob crouched down and his swimming, shaky vision met a face. The dawning realization that he was still alive struck him hard, sending wracking shivers through his lithe frame.

A strong, smiling face- pale like a vampire's with red flecked eyes, cascading dark locks and a sharp, angular jawline -inched closer to his until there were only a few inches between them. A hand reached out towards him, and he felt like he was being burned from the inside out by the wave of sadistic glee and anger that assaulted his mind when the stranger's hand covered his mouth in a parody of comfort.

"It's nice to meet you, Spencer." The hand covering his mouth vanished before two thick arms circled his back and trapped him against a broad chest.

A deep whisper mockingly caressed the shell of his ear, "My name is Nathaniel Essex, but you can call me 'Doctor'."
