DISCLAIMER: I own NOTHING from Criminal Minds. Please don't sue me.
A/N: I didn't like how my other sequel to Crave was going to I deleted it and started a whole new one. Once again this is sort of a continuation of Crave so you may want to read that just for a little background on what has happened to the characters. This is a H/P pairing so if you don't like it please don't flame just don't read it.
Chapter One: Like Mother Like Son
"Oh Jesus Christ just looking at you makes me want to vomit." Audrey Neil took a long drag from her cigarette and quick swig of whiskey. "I should have aborted you like I wanted to but my fucking father was against it you know, being such a religious man and all. No, instead I had to marry that dead beat son of a bitch and he ended up going out for a pack of cigarettes and it's been what now 12 years since he's gotten back from the store."
Kenneth Neil kept his head low and nursed his fragile jaw which was already beginning to swell up. He never dared look his mother in the eye especially when she was off on one of her many drunken rants. Kenneth sat huddled up in the corner of their dingy two room apartment and refused to let himself cry; he wouldn't give that bitch the pleasure of seeing his tears.
"You are NOTHING!" She screamed out tossing the glass of whiskey at him causing it to smash into pieces right above his head.
"Please don't do this, please. I promise if you let me go I won't tell anyone. I won't tell the police or anything I swear. Please just let me go, please."
Kenny watched the bound girl at his feet begging for mercy with a face the showed no hint of sympathy or any other emotion. Her dark brown hair clung to her bruised and tear stained face as she tried helplessly to wriggle her hands and feet out of the scratchy rope that was holding them together.
Kenny reached for the recently sharpened butcher's knife on the table beside him and looked the innocent girl over one last time. "You are NOTHING!" He screamed before sinking the knife deeply into her soft flesh.
Emily Prentiss shot up in bed her body covered in a cold sweat. She looked around the room slowly letting her eyes adjust to the dark. Looking over at the alarm clock she saw that it was only 3:30 am. Three hours of sleep had been the most she had gotten in the past few months. The feeling of a large warm hand gently pressing against her back calmed her down a bit.
"Are you alright?" Aaron Hotchner asked.
"Yeah I'm fine it's nothing." She lied.
Aaron sighed knowingly and carefully pulled her back down wrapping his strong arms protectively around her slender frame. "I know when you're lying to me Emily. You were dreaming about him again weren't you?"
Emily let her body relax against his and nodded. "I know it's been months but I still can't get his face out of my mind."
Aaron instinctively pulled her closer to him and placed a tender kiss on her lips. "Emily, Jonas Lincoln is dead he will never be able to hurt you ever again. I will never let anything happen to you."
Emily let a ghost of a smile spread across her lips. "I know." She whispered resting her head in the crook of his neck.
Aaron soothingly stroked the smooth skin on her lower back trying to help her fall back asleep. In only a few hours they would have to get up for work.
Kenny stopped to take a quick break as he dragged the lifeless corpse of a once beautiful and vibrant young woman behind him. His car was parked only a few hundred yards away but it was strenuous work hauling a body weighted down with cement blocks up to the small bridge that crossed over Lark's Creek. Once he was finally at the bridge Kenny knelt down behind the body and with a few shaky pushes he managed to roll her into the water.
"You make me want to vomit." He said quietly under his breath as her fired up a cigarette and watched as the body sunk down into the murky water.
Chapter two coming soon. Please R&R. Thanks.
